Penney's Ill-fitting clothes. I know the stuff is cheap, I can't afford spending much atm on basics but need to replace a few pieces of my wardrobe (I'm not the "2wardrobes of nothing to wear"-kind, more the "I wear the same 6 outfits in rotation until it's falling apart"-kind). Now I got a pair high waist leggings there and they're awful. I used to love them but their stuff gets progressively worse and ill-fitting.
I have a butt but also a waist, you know?!

It’s Saturday night, so people have been out drinking and are getting taxis home. No problem with that in general, but why are taxis so loud? Every time one pulls up in my street, it’s always some diesel that sounds like a tractor. The walls are shaking from the noise down on the street.

Another going away related TA; my dad, who has never really financially contributed to me, texting me asking how much my accommodation is costing and if I have money to live off. Like what, are you actually gonna offer me anything? No, so why ask?

Went to the gp for a standard visit. The fee rose by a massive 20% since last Monday, from €50 to €60 for a single visit. More than a little annoyed as I chose this gp practice just a few months ago because it was one of the three or four around charging €50 rather than €60 or €65 for a single consultation. That, and the fact that the neighbouring practices were not accepting new patients which further reduces the potential to change gp.

20% pay rise for some; 1-4% pay rise for the rest of us. Yet another example of the growing inequality in the western world that Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman and a whole slew of other famous economists are recurrently bringing to the attention of anybody who'll listen. When the politicians come knocking at the door at the next election, who in the name of Jesus represents the coping class/squeezed middle - those of us paying huge (and very much rising, thanks to government intervention) childcare, the highest mortgage interest rates in the EU combined with among the highest house prices but not getting the free or very low cost gp service which is the norm across the EU? Real quality of life stuff, not the cost-free verbal crap the Irish political class come out with ad nauseam about yet another bullshít referendum or more right-on crap about children's rights while financially screwing parents who try to raise children in this state.

The increase in the boom sectors are even more notable against a backdrop of average private-sector increases of just 1.8 per cent, with a 3.6 per cent rise in the public sector, mainly due to pay deals involving restoration of losses during the crash.

In many other areas, wages are, on average, not rising by much at all. The only sector to fall over the last year was administration and support services, with a pay drop of 1.1 per cent, but in a number of other areas – industry, construction (where wage growth has slowed sharply) and professional, scientific and technical activities, the annual rises were not far off 1 per cent on average, while in accommodation and food they were just 0.5 per cent.

I dropped into the Christmas forum here on Boards in July just for the craic and it was busy.

TA: Why is the first syllable in 'busy' not pronounced like bus...

because bussy would make the bus sound. Where there is a y or an i (business for example) the sound changes*

I have found this too lately. I got a 3 pack of bras lately and one was so noticeably different in size so that I checked the label in case it was a smaller one put on the wrong hanger. It wasn't, all 3 had the same size on them. I bought a nice pair of loose, summery pants a few weeks ago that are grand. I had wanted them in black too but they weren't there at the time. I saw them last week and got them, same size, but when I put them on at home they are a good couple of inches longer. So annoying

That reminds me, a couple of years ago I bought some underwear in Penneys (yes, I'm naming and shaming, even though I should name and shame myself for buying them there). They were sold in multi-packs that covered two sizes, so 10-12, 12-14, 14-16, etc.). When I wore them the first time, I thought they were ill-fitting indeed, so I checked another pair to see if I had somehow picked the wrong size. It was then that I realised that they were not symmetrical, so the left side was a size smaller than the right. Not. Impressed!

I've had a nasty virus where I've spent most of the week on the toilet. I had no appetite (normally love my food), nausea, headache, achy breaky joints etc. When I was getting sick, my dogs were crowded around the toilet, trying to get their heads in to eat my vomit, which just made me even more sick On the bright side I've lost half a stone :pac:

Cant deal with this weekend, yesterday it took me ten trips to the freezer to take out three items out , everything I tried to do needed extra care I was too foggie headed to do.

same today, except with cold symptoms and still all those weekend jobs backed up. Tom I have to leave the house to do things all over town, its not looking good for it being as productive as it should be.

Dublin Airport

Arrived slightly ahead of schedule on a flight from America - left sitting on the apron for 45 minutes as no one was ready at the gate - happens very frequently with arrivals from America as the tailwinds can knock an hour off the flight time but seems to come as a surprise to DAA every morning.

The delay then took us past the expected arrival time, so why should we then have to wait 15 minutes for bags?

Then we get our bags, go to look at the map to find the shuttle bus to the car park and it's pointing to the wrong zone.

Harrumph. Maximum grumpiness achieved.

What is it about Airports that brings out the stupid in People?

It's almost like there's something in the air that makes people lose the use of their brains.

Normal morons seem to go hyper retard when engaged in the process of air travel.

I was on a flight home from the UK recently and some of the stuff was horrifying to me.

The simple task of taking the correct seat is too much of a challenge for some people, let alone storing their bags.

I used to be a smoker and never really understood how bad smokers smell. Now I get it. It's fcuking awful (sorry smokers but it is). Even when someone goes outside for a ciggie, when they come back in you can get it. It's all over their clothes and breath and it's rank. I used to be one of those smokers who would wake up in the morning and have a cigarette in bed. Last thing at night I would have a cigarette. Now I don't smoke and the smell repulses me.

I'm not one of those ex smokers who becomes a preachy anti-smoking ar$ehole. I hate myself because even though I know smoking causes all kinds of illness, smells disgusting and is a financial drain, there is part of my stupid brain that would love to pick up a fag and inhale it's cancer inducing badness

It's terrible, it's such a strong smell. It's funny, my mam was a smoker, but is off them over 6 months now and she's here with me and can't smell it at all

On the luas today and an older “gentleman” got on the stop after me so I jumped up to offer my seat only for him to start screaming abuse at me .
I should have kept my head down like the rest of the passengers but I’d of felt the worst in the world not to offer a seat; it’s like your damned if you do and damned if you don’t

I'm flying to Dublin from Manchester on Friday evening after work with the kids, can honestly say that if I can get to Dublin without wanting to punch someone I'm doing well. I'm a frequent flyer with my kids and find a lot of people in airports absolutely unbearable.
