Thanks everyone, I was just feeling a bit sorry for myself earlier. I appreciate the virtual hugs

It's absolutely freezing tonight! I can't get warm.

Back pain.

But a silver lining, ibuprofen is 35p a packet here

NIMAN

The Indo's website.

I was starting to read it less and less over recent years due to the amount of clickbait and Z-list celeb stuff on it, but recently its been getting ever worse.

The amount of moving adverts popping in and out of your screen when you are trying to read it is infuriating.

And every so often, a massive full page one covers everything and you have to wait a set time before you can continue reading.

A pain and it's only a matter of time before I stop visiting it.

Computer trouble

That's a new laptop isn't it? Shouldn't be causing grief.

Presume you tried the old reliable of turning it off & back on again.


Have a cheesy 80's earworm stuck in my head here.

I’ve seen it a lot on American TV

Someone pays a compliment and the reply is “I appreciate you”. Not thanks I appreciate it, no it’s I appreciate you

Just sounds wrong to me. A TA of mine

Another one they use is "making an amends" not "making amends"... maybe we're saying it incorrectly I don't know..

You can't go through life unscathed, with looks like yours.

My car's at the mechanic. Waiting to hear any update/cost. Also waiting to hopefully get to collect it earlier rather than later so I can go home.

Hate waiting! This is as bad as the NCT - except not as quick!

I have to wear a brown paper bag on my head to stop people staring, so there is lots of walking into lampposts which leads to the scathing.

Well, look on the bright side (if you can, with your head inside a paper bag) - zero risk of hyperventilation. :cool:






My very trivial but niggling TA: I gave someone a book, and I forgot to check if I'd left anything in it (documents, notes, important phone numbers, etc).

How dare you speak like that of my follically-challenged relatives!?! :mad:

Another big TA: cold callers (on the phone, this time). The next one will be greeted with:

"The Bucket Residence, the Lady of the House speaking?!?". And I swear I'll keep calling them "Sheridan".

GO AWAAAAAYYYY!!!

I'm too spineless to decline whatever they're trying to flog so I always laugh nervously and hang up on them mid sentence.
Otherwise I'll find myself sponsoring some child in some far flung country when in fact I could do with some sponsorship myself.

I kind of feel sorry for them, too, 'cause it's a thankless job... but seriously, four calls from the same number in five days? GO. AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

No, not at all.

(Fixed my post).

You know those days when as soon as you wake up you know you're having a particularly sharp day and your mind is working so well that you're impressing everyone around you - and especially yourself - with all your genius insight and ability to get things done while being completely cool and calm? Those days where everyone says "Wow, thanks Candie, you're amazing! I had no idea/couldn't figure that one out!"?

One of those days where you look hotter than ever, and catch multiple admiring glances just walking down the stairs in work? One of those days where you just can't be beaten and you're knocking everything out of the park and you feel so good about yourself that you actually stop walking and start strutting to the congratulatory theme tune in your head?



I am so not having one of those days.

LirW

The man not coming home today because 10 minutes before clocking out the contractor he was waiting for all day rang him that he'll be there soon, which means working late and it would make more sense for him staying up in Dublin so.


Annoying because we always listen to a D&D podcast in the evening and now I have to wait until tomorrow!

Uuuuuugh after work meetings when hungry and tired .....ie. painfully boring Croke Park hours grumble grumble grumble

I find it, 4 minutes still freezing. 4 mins 20 seconds like the surface of the sun.

About 15 years ago I was flying to Canada for Christmas. I flew from Dublin to Heathrow and while I was in Heathrow I got a call. This was before international id and roaming charges were astronomical. I only answered the call because I thought it was family. It was some guy trying to get me to buy some sh!t. Once I realised it was a cold caller I said something along the line of "I don't have time and I'm not interested" and I hung up. He rang back 2 minutes later and again I answered just in case but he must have been having a bad day at work because he was like "you stupid b!tch, you are a cnunt...". I cut him off mid rant and unsurprisingly I never heard from them again. He must have been having a super bad day to ring me back, just to call me a cnut lol

Irrational jealousness!

I really like my neighbours very much, they're nice people and they live in a council house. The council was doing work here over the last few weeks and she chanced it asking the contractors for a few insulation works to be done, she knows one of them privately and the council actually accepted and is now doing the work in their house. They get the attic insulated, the walls filled and plumbing in the bathroom updated.
Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for her because I know how expensive that all is... But I'd need all that work done too, we own our house and we can't afford getting our walls pumped at the moment because we had a few unexpected things to spend money on
Ah well, maybe next year.

LirW not a bit irrational. It annoyed the hell out of me to see others being handed things that I had to slog for years to get. Putting up with a crap job to get money to renovate my house, and now I'm told isn't it well for me, I have it all. Sorry, rant over!

That reminds me: my microwave only lets me change the time in 10 seconds slots, and nothing less, but I find that 1min 20sec is too much for my milky coffee, and 1min 10sec isn't enough. Annoying, in a trivial way.

There's a girl's Profile popping up on the side of my Facebook that has a really stand-out picture of her Mother as the main pic. Her Mother is dead. I keep getting a fright everytime I see it!

I have a pair of runners/walking shoes and I can't understand how they look huge on my feet. They're a good fit and comfortable. I put some of my others beside them and they look the same size. Yet when on they make my size 8 look like 12s
