That happened to me once, I was like an antichrist. I went to accuse someone of stealing my porridge, then realised I was the only one in the house

I intended having a bowl of porridge this morning but was too hungry and impatient to wait the two minutes. Instead I ate two buttered blaas too quickly and now my guts don't feel the best

doctor's appointments - what's the f**king point in getting a time to call in and then be left f**king sitting there for over half an hour?

Every bloody advert using a Queen song.

I adored Freddie and the man was a musical genius but does Brian May have to whore out every piece of his creativity for furniture and fking nappy adverts ?!!!

STOP IT!!!!

Hear hear, like "The Boys Are Back In Town" being used for a Brennan's bread advert! Fcuking sacrilege.

(sorry if its mentioned here recently)

Using Black Friday as a ploy to get people to spend cash here in Irish shops.

It is an american phenomenon - the day after thanksgiving, a US holiday.
F**k off with your "sales" here - there are garages, fitness food shops - all trying to cash in.

And another TA is that black friday in the US is (or was) a 1 day event. Now it seems to be a 10 day event.
10 feckin days.

If my local pub had a black friday sale for 10 days I would be delighted.

There has been a woeful case of manflu in this house that is in its third week. I felt myself starting to come down with something last Friday so got right on it with Benylin day and night tablets. Felt like I had nipped it in the bud by Sunday, but today I feel like crap after finishing the course of tablets yesterday. Bunged up, can't smell or taste and bloody shattered

That's because once you have Man 'flu or a Cold there is bugger all you can do about it,,,,no magic cure nothing NOTHING DO YOU HEAR???

Put some vinegar in the water when you're boiling them, easy pesy peel.:D

That Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah. I mean, it's OK, and I know the guy died recently, but the way people are banging on about it, you'd think it was some celestial hymn imparted to LC by a host of angels on LSD. It's not even his best song, in my opinion. There are Yiddish versions, sign language versions, versions played on synthesizers and ancient Korean instruments ... it's all getting a bit out of hand. :rolleyes:

Spiders with the industrial prowess of a Japanese road crew. Lock the door at night, alarm on, off to bed. Maybe 6 hours later go to the hall door and I’m met with a web that hits my face so I end up break dancing in the hall at 7am.

Peppermint is a deterrent? I tried that and now the hall smells like toothpaste and it is like spider Viagra as now there are more f**king spiders than ever. :mad:

In Argos today buying something,
paid, got my receipt, waiting at the waiting area,

my item comes down the conveyor belt, I can easily see it. there are no other items waiting for collection at that moment.

1 guy wearing a headset walks past my item, looks at it, says 'description' and walks away

another guy wearing a headset does the exact same thing, but this guy picked it up before saying 'description'

1st guy comes back and does the exact same thing again!! looks at it, says description and walks off.

a new guy then shows up, looks at it, says description and takes it away to a side room.

While all this is going on, BoBandy is stood there like a tool waiting for my thing that I bought, so just after the guy walked away with my thing, I grabbed 1st guys attention to say, hey, give me the thing that I bought, it's been sitting there for 3/4 minutes now!!!

pressed for time today, it was very TA.

I got given out to for putting water that wasn't in the fridge in the kettle for coffee. They made a big deal about the water in the fridge. Complained that the water I chose wasn't cold enough. How does that make any difference if I'm boiling it?!

Needing to stay awake, but coffee makes me have palpitations so wont be doing that again.

Got a new debit card a few weeks ago, forgot to update with one company. Getting snotty letter despite never ever missing a payment. They'd never send a 'your payment method is about to expire' letter.

oh well - sorted now

Laura Mvula.

There's something about her I don't like anyway but she's singing "Ready or Not" for House of Fraser's Xmas advert. The way she sings the "Not", "Come" and "Hide" is strange, liking she's deliberately mispronouncing it.

Used to have fierce problems with spiders a few years back, but someone told me they don't like chestnuts, so every autumn I collect a bagful of conkers and place them in various nooks and crannies around the house. I've found a large reduction in their numbers. You'd still get the odd one from time to time, but nothing like before.

Time going by very slowly on a Friday.....

The washing detergent ads have this thing now at the end "Always keep away from children."

Maybe if ye didnt manufacture detergents in colourful sweet sized tab form kids might not be so attracted to them. Same goes for cleaning solutions. Lovely coloured bottles and liquids within. Only makes them more attractive. Dishwasher tablets are the same. Some look like they have a red Smartie in the middle of them.
