Don't want to sound racist but nurses from India. Can't understand a word of what they are saying

I'm in hospital right now and what annoys me is people bringing in their radios and playing it loudly

... and equally as bad is the TV in the ward left playing loudly. I was visiting the father in hospital one day and there was the TV blaring and nobody looking at it. I got a chair, stood up on it, and switched the dammed thing off (so the person who usually hogged the remote could not get the TV on again):D

Hope you won't be in there too much longer, OP, and get well soon.

One of my Indian in laws is hard to understand when you're not used to her accent. I wouldn't have been able to tell a Pakistani accent (nevermind regional accents) from an Indian one, or North Indian from South Indian accents, when I first met her. And I'd miss at least a couple of words every few sentences, at first. It's a bit like people being unsure whether someone's American or Canadian..I love the accents, all of them, but I'm afraid I couldn't understand some of them, it can't be helped

Just incinerated a pizza by accidentally turning the oven upto 220. Crust is black and hard as a rock. Topping well burned too. Into the bin and try something more basic this time.

I have a REALLY annoying tickle in my throat which means I'm clearing my throat every few minutes and I know I'm driving people mad but I have to clear it.

People not ringing you back when they said they would.
I have made TWELVE phone calls to Bord Gais regarding a problem with my bill. Each time they promise to call me back and they don't.
I'm now emailing their HQ to complain and demand money towards my phone bill.

No, don't know why you would assume that. In saying that I am pushing 40 but am aware there are younger members (there are Junior Cert and Leaving Cert forums as an e.g. so frequented by teenagers primarily).

TA'd that I'm pushing 40 already. I remember a time I thought 30 was ancient!!!

I obviously made a mistake. I thought I read something on boards sometime in the past which gave that impression. I would not be looking at junior or leaving cert forums, so that would explain a lot. I know I wouldn't have been as free with some of my comments if I thought younger teenager was reading them.

I had a frantic scramble through my memory of my posts and I think I haven't posted any filth or corruption..then I remembered I could've corrupted a nun at 16/17 so it's probably fine anyway..

TA at someone saying ''It's addicting''

TA my job right now. My Line manager is an a hole and has been treating me like sh!t when I complained to his boss he couldn't have been any less interested. I'm feeling really fed up.

Rubberlegs

Blaas, I love em but they are a nightmare to buy. They are so hard to wrestle apart from each other without looking like I am mauling them all and I always end up destroyed in flour by the time I manage to get them into a bag.

I dropped my glasses on the loo floor at work. And of course they went under the partition in to the next cubicle. Which was occupied.
So had to wait around awkwardly while someone finished their business....Glasses will never be clean enough again.

People using "it does what it says on the tin" in everyday conversations. It is f**king galling.


I then heard today, the soon to be editor of the Times saying on the radio that he was working for them for over 20 years so, when it came to him, it was a case of "the Ronseal effect"?

Jesus wept...
