Back on the hayfever theme....I am in a house with a dog I am allergic to.
The tablets are working overtime to fend off the hayfever and the allergic reaction...but the tablets are failing. And I am dying here. This could be it folks....

National slow down day?
how about,
National use your fu**inindicators day,
or
National stop hitting your brakes in the third lane so you can skip over 3 lanes to take the exit on the left. (not snappy enough?):p

And holding your phone in front of you talking into it is NOT hands free, it's face free.:eek:

I love that song.

Friend of mine had to do a first interview and then might have been shortlisted for a second interview. Might be standard enough for an engineers, doctors or some other qualified professional job but this job was pretty much a shop assistant.

Why bother going through so much effort? They are looking for staff every 2 weeks already.

Insomnia. Awake all night for no reason at all. Trying to sleep now but the feckin birds are singing their heads off.

northgirl

General lack of courtesy shown by people.

Would always go out of my way to let people cross the road unless it's dangerous but yet yesterday when I had an opportunity to cross (after waiting ages) some aul bint in a big f*** off BMW slams on the blower at me as if I'm the devil incarnate. Then elderly people give out about the young.. give me strength.

I won two tickets to the Pigsty for Busted (yay) but it means leaving one of my sisters in our other seats. The Pigsty upgrade is sold out. I'm TA'd and sad that I have to choose between my sisters to join me on stage.

TG1

TA'd by people driving at 98 in a 100 zone who speed up to 105 when you indicate and pull out to pass them.

Shannon757

Yesterday I did an awful lot of walking, more than enough to beat my 10000 steps target but my pedometer says I only took 257. My physio is gonna be pissed at me now.:(

Itchy stitches, I really really really want to scratch but if I did there'd be a blood bath.

New Home

Bad hangover? Migraine? Bono?


My TA is having to put up with visitors on my 'hermit' day.

TA with Bruce Springsteen taking over the bloody Gigs and Events forum, c'mon talk about festivals, its the summer.

People calling crisps 'taytos'
"Ah dem taytos out foddin are not the same atall"

Today's trivial annoyance: false representation in professional "sport" for business reasons.

The "Ireland" cricket team.
The "Connacht" rugby team. All inspired by the commercial success of the "Ireland" soccer team of "hired mercenaries", c. 1990.

How many of the "Connacht" rugby squad are from Connacht, for instance? From this list I count 14 of the 40 members of the current squad who are from Connacht (I include the Athlone players as "Connacht" even though half the town is in Leinster).

Professional "sport" and its business models of hype and false representation.

A sea gull has decided that the best place for its nest, is on a 1 metre high wall, right beside a foot path.

So now any time I walk past, I need to leave the foot walk and go on the road, or else it screams at me and will come flying and try and peck me.

:rolleyes:

The Young Wan

Came into college today to try and get a bit of quiet to study. Between two lads in the class talking through their notes RIGHT IN MY EAR and two of my mates trying to drag me on a trip up the mountains, I am about to give up and try again another day.

The hunger and thirst on a hangover day.
So far I have had.....
2 sausages, 3 rashers, 3 white puddin, 2 eggs, beans, 3 toast, 2 brown bread, 2 mugs of tea, 3 pints of blackcurrant diluted.
Mashed spuds, gravy, half a chicken, peas, carrots, pint of milk.
Tea and apple crumble, and a few fig rolls.
6 bags of tayto (3 c&o, 3 s&v). Another pint of diluted.
I'm starving again, have just put a meat feast pizza and a bag of wedges in the oven. Later on I'll probably have a few mugs of tea and a couple of chocolate bars.

I bloody hate those caps where you have to 'press both sides and turn' to open them. Really ****ing annoying. I presume it's meant to be child-resistant but they may as well be open-resistant.

Every muppet and his aunt are on the roads today. What should have been a 2 1/2 hour drive was over three hours just because of muppets in control of cars.

Similarly, the hunger a woman gets the week before she goes out of action. I've eaten the entire contents of the biscuit box today.

Seeing a job I applied for, and received zero reply on, still being advertised almost three weeks later.
A rejection email would be just mannerly

ta'd I'm just back from the shop and want rock shandy cause read this :pac:

TA'd that I'm soft curves and not hard edges. At least a bit of hardness would be nice.
I really really want to eat something lovely and bad for me but I can't because that's why I'm in this predicament.

The changing rooms today were very unforgiving
