The word "bliss"

"I had a lovely sleep. It was bliss".
"Pure bliss".

Ugh. It makes me want to vomit. Although not as much as the words "loverly" "hollybops" "scoops" "bevvies" and "niblings"!

Sweet divine Jaysus.

Hollybops... I just want to commit grevious bodily harm to anyone who uses it.

I also heard someone talking about "satfats" the other day. Just take the extra .00005 of a second to say saturated, your time is not that valuable!

I had a heavy night on the booze on Saturday and now I feel depressed.
I felt a bit delicate yesterday but not too bad mentally.
Today, however, I feel really down.

I hate feeling like this; I don't want to but I just can't snap out of it.
I only drink on a Saturday night but I don't usually have as much as I did two days ago.
I hope this feeling passes soon.

On another note, I'm sick of getting bruises in the gym.
I have a really painful bruise right above my knee and it's so tender.
When one bruise fades, I get another and I don't actually know what's causing them.

I went to a show last night and someone brought a baby. I love babies but this one cried and cried and do you think the mother or father would bring the baby out, no. Trivially annoyed that the show was ruined and my money was wasted:(

Last week, I needed to machine wash a white cardigan but I didn't have enough light coloured things to make up a load. So I gathered up a load of clothes that were clean and put away but but hadn't been worn for a while, and took a duvet cover off the bed in the spare room, it was clean but could do with freshening up.

And after all that when the wash was finished I discovered I had forgotten to put in the poxy white cardigan that I really really needed to wash in the first place.

People who are always late. Just be where you say you'll be when you say you'll be there. It's not that hard!

I was given a Terry's chocolate orange easter egg at the weekend and my OH ate not just most of it but the oval part I saved from last night. Its the best part - has the thickest chocolate-

People / nutrition shows on TV that are shocked at "hidden sugars" in fruit juice. The sugar content is clearly labelled on the front of each carton, it's not hidden! !

When people say "bless", feck I hate that

I took a patch of skin off the roof of my mouth earlier eating a too hot roast potato, it's so bloody sore
Also, I took forever lighting a candle earlier , between the wick not catching light and matches going out on me. I finally got it lit, then promptly blew it out with my nose.

I'm getting blisters on just one foot. Not sure how to handle this.

I resisted the siren call of curry chips earlier and had a bowl of Cheerios instead.


Within an hour I had ordered curry chips and chicken cheese rolls and a bottle of Coke.

TA'd that apparently despite having 12 clearly marked points on the dial ranging from red to blue my shower only has two temperatures: scald the skin off you and freeze the bejaysus out of you.

When I'm cutting a bread roll in half and one side ends up being a little too thin. I end up with a top-heavy roll.

My annoyance:
Has anyone else noticed that when people tag friends in posts on Facebook, lately, they add additional letters to the end of their friends' names? Made up examples: Jemima Tittyhammerer and Dobby Delaneyey. It really annoys me!

Sadly no...way to rousing for the piece I mean.Has a real quite passage in the middle and this guy at the royal albert hall wouldn't stop coughing
Thanks anyway

There was a Hillsborough docudrama on the other night.
I was in the mood to reflect on the tragedy and was TA'd that it wasn't a Documentary instead.

When I cut bread rolls, I only want to slice open a 'slit', if you will, to allow the bread to hinge back and thus stuff all the filling in there and close the hinge back.

TA whenever I over zealously cut the roll, so the top and bottom half are now separate pieces!!! :eek: It's just a squidgefest trying to hold the filling in, especially if it's dollops of coldslaw or tikka etc...

I keep thinking I can hear my phone ringing in another room. My phone is in my blimmin' hand!

Injuring oneself on inanimate objects and then cursing the object.. this morning's example - closing the door on my foot & crushing toes

Pass-remarkable people.
Honest to God, why do some people think they have the right to just say whatever they like, regardless of how the other person feels?

I'm reminded of a particular occasion, last year, when my partner and I were in Kilkenny for my birthday.
We had been out all day sightseeing and we were both wearing casual attire.

At around 6pm, we popped into a pub for a drink and something to eat (I'm not one of those girls who wants to be wined and dined in a fancy restaurant for her birthday.. I'm happy having a bit of pub grub or a curry or something! It's what I prefer.)

Anyway, we're in the pub and we're ordering our food and the waitress gets chatting to us.
My partner mentions it's my birthday and she says "Oh, why didn't you dress up for the occasion? It's your birthday!".

I was gobsmacked and bit my tongue but looking back now I should have said "Sorry, what business is it of yours whether I dress up for dinner?".
I was really annoyed and she made me feel self-conscious about myself.

More recently, my partner's elderly Aunt said to him "You're putting weight on, aren't you?".
He laughed it off but I was fuming.
How dare she say something so insensitive?

I would be so hurt if someone said that to me and it made me feel that there are people out there who don't care how their words affect someone else and it's wrong.

I wouldn't dream of telling someone they'd put on weight or suggesting their outfit isn't in keeping with celebrating a birthday.
I wish people would just keep their mouth shut if they've nothing nice to say.

Fuppin' daft.ie sometimes.

People that

1) don't upload any photos at all
2) upload photos of the house/apartment, but don't show you the room at all.

Damnit.

Those ads for Vanish and the 'Tip Exchange'

Where they are trying to give you the impression that the 'tip' videos are filmed by actual people by simply adding a shaking effect to the camera!!

I banged my hand the other day and I kissed it straight after. My husband said "why did you just kiss your own hand?" and without thought I said "eh to make it better?"

I put the bin just outside the back door with the intent of putting it straight into the wheelie bin but got called away for two minutes, well maybe 10 minutes. There was a chicken in it and by the time I got back, there were all these crows ripping into the bag. Loads of mess everywhere and had to carefully put the ripped bag into another bag and then into the wheelie bin.

Getting the train and bus to local hospital (never been to it before - new to area).
That was fine, but on the bus back to the train station I asked the driver to let me know as I have no idea of the stops (different route back than I took out), we went past it, not that I ****ing knew anyway, and I had to walk about a mile back.
Good news at the hospital so not all bad!

Inflate the tyres on your car to the recommended pressure, 25k-km later all tyres are cracked around the circumference, i go to tyre place,

They say "tsk tsk , they weren't inflated properly" (psi too low)
Yes they were says I, look, psi on the car door.
That means nothing they say.

I email the maker, (hit high says I) They emailed back, and said tyre dealer is RIGHT,
car manufacturer recommended PSI is WRONG it's too low.

How the hell is that?

4th set of tyres, this is the only one that cracked, (but fuel consumption is better now)

Listening to Michael Owen commentating on a match.

Really gets on my nerves

I had a really horrible dream before waking up, and it's put me out for the whole day. The worst of it is it was so bizarre that it's almost laughable in the light of day, but it terrified me:(
Realising that once more I have bought crappy clothes pegs.
I drove into town earlier to pick up something that was to be ready for me today. What with traffic and finding a parking space, it took a half hour. When I went in to collect my stuff, it wasn't ready yet, FFS . Another half an hours drive home then in rush hour traffic.

My brain.

Lying in bed and my brain decides to say..

Brain - "Hey, do you remember that time your dog got off the lead but you managed to catch him. Well, imagine if you didn't and instead he ran out towards the main road and...

Me -"STFU! Aaagggghhh la la la la la.... I can't hear you"

Seriously - why the **** does it do that???

AKA "the fear". It's awful.

For me its especially acute after the Electric Picnic weekend. You've nothing to be afraid or down about yet you feel under siege and want to avoid all calls and human contact. A feeling of dread and foreboding.

Ugh

on the Aer Lingus website booking some flights for my brother, and on the country drop down list for selecting the phone country code and the credit card dress country, you have to scroll for ages down to the 'I' countries (because of course, they list every country in the world).

How about sticky the countries you fly from by volume at the top of the list?!?

If you press the letter "I" it should bring you down to countries starting with that letter


(and in order to comply with the rules!)

Contacted 3 companies about doing some work. Not one of them returned my calls

Still TA'd at the fact I haven't seen them anywhere in ages, and they seem to be out of stock

F*ck off BBC, you're supposed to be a proper news site.

The way the foil cover on the Glenisk yogurts never peels off and the cardboard gets all wrinkled and in the end you have to cut around the edge and it's just one big fcuking mess in the end.

The new 1 litre Tesco milk cardboard cartons, have those annoying tops that instantly spill milk when you do the first pour.. the bottles were better
