I bought War and Peace and I was determined to read it. That was two years ago and now I'm just using it to prop the bedroom window open. I didn't like Anna Karenina very much so maybe I wouldn't like War and Peace. I'll give it a go when this balmy weather has passed. Maybe

That shít annoys me, happened to me a few times too til eventually I kept telling them I 'had to be somewhere'. I don't give a fúck if the creche fines you, couldn't give a gee tbh, bring your sob story to somebody who gives a shít!
TA'd that I had a TA as I began to type and now I can't remember it....must have been ever so trivial
Eurgh TA people who think they are God's gift because they have kids. I was at a graduation recently that had a strict no children policy and someone insisted on carting his 1 and 3 year old in and the 1 year old cried and the 3 year old nattered through the entire ceremony. After these students spending four years of their lives working hard and making sacrifices to achieve their goals, there is a fúckin sprog screaming throughout their ceremony. It's not as if the kids will even remember being at daddys graduation!0 -

Good to see I am not the only one who gets TA'ed by this type of behaviour where you are made to feel like a social outcast if you raise the issue.I appreciate that trying to juggle kids when you are out and about can sometimes be difficult but it doesn't bestow on you any type of special license or permit to act how you choose with disregard for others or social events.OldNotWIse wrote: »Eurgh TA people who think they are God's gift because they have kids.

I was sitting at a restaurant bar counter recently. A mother came in with her child and put the buggy right behind my stool locking me in despite there being ample space elsewhere. When I was leaving I had no option but to move the buggy and the said mother glares at me. Only I have mellowed over the years I would have given her a caustic reply.
I don't have kids so it means I can travel quite a bit when and where I choose. If I am talking with someone who has kids about my last trip or the next one the standard answer is "Well isn't well for ya" and you can almost feel them trying to supress the roll eyes. You chose to have kids. If that limits your ability to travel then suck it up. Me talking about travelling is the equivalent of you talking non-stop about your children. I have the decency and courtesy to listen without being patronising never mind to stop to think why someone might not have kids either because a) they have no desire b) they can't have c) some other reason
God, that felt good.TG for TA

I can lend you my 15 year old copy of Ulysses if you like. The book mark has not been moved from the Funeral chapter in about 14 years.0 -

don't know when having kids went from being something normal to some kind of elitist statement. Certainly when I was a kid, kids were kids. When my parents went for meals on the campsite restaurant, we got a bag of chips and played outside in the playground (and made them feel guilty by looking in at them through the glass lol).
We all grow up thoroughly average at the end of the day.
TA I missed out on being treated like the ultimate accessory when I was a kid

It took me longer than anticipated to mow my lawn because my back garden has become frog central. Don't want to hack up any of the poor little feckers so i was constantly having to stop the mower and chase them out of the long grass.
Problem is that frogs are a bit thick and don't follow instruction well so they kept jumping back into the bit i was just about to mow
One guy had the right idea and just jumped up onto the blocks that my oil tank is on and sat watching me until i was finished. 0 -

Haha I have a copy, haven't started it yet either.
TA at people shouting in the street at all hours of the day or night. People can't seem to communicate without bellowing anymore.0 -

TA someone would be TA'ed about this type of siutation. I have an informal diagnosis of probable mild dyspraxia otherwise known as hamfistednessmiezekatze wrote: »When someone IMs you in work about something and it takes them ages to type. They write one sentence, then you see them type again for several minutes, then another sentence appears, etc. We could be done with this in 2 minutes. I was told by an 'expert' so it must be true :rolleyes: although I can put my hands to good use in some situations but touch typing and me will never form a long-term partnership. 0 -
