Wishing I was raised with a chocolate bar a week! I was given money to go to the shop and get sweets every day (50p usually which got you a decent haul in the early-mid nineties) and there was always chocolate and crisps in the cupboard at home. My parents worked full time so I went to my nana' s after school and she had a chocolate bar waiting for me, that was on top of the one I had for my lunch in school. If I was upset my mum gave me sweets or she'd give me sweets to do something I didn't like, such as piano lessons. I ate a lot of ready meals and rubbish as a child because my mum was working and was too tired to always cook properly. It wasn't until I met my wife that I realised that you could make your own tomato sauce and didn't have to use dolmio. Now my mum works part time and spends the whole day making food in the slow cooker and I can't help but feel a bit resentful that I've struggled with my weight as an adult trying to undo all of these bad eating habits.

Lady I was the opposite growing up. Used to love going to my neighbours as a kid cause they had an entire treat press and got chips every day for lunch and ice pops were always always in the freezer in the garage so you could help yourself. My mother loved cooking and baking and we never really got anything from a jar. There’d be ice cream for after dinner on Sunday but no chocolate or sweets during the week. She’d spend her saturdays baking though so there’d be fairy cakes or sponge cakes or apple pie or scones or whatever she’d made. That was the “treat” but tbh apart from apple pie I could take or leave.
Got pocket money on a Sunday if we went to mass. Usually would spend that on a fizzy drink and a lucky bag or little toy in my dads friends shop. Magazines as I got older.

Now though I’m so fussy and have the diet of an unsupervised child. Diabetes is hereditary in my family, my mom had it from when she was a small child, my nana had it from when she was little and her dad had it etc so it hadn’t skipped s generation. She was so paranoid we’d end up with it she was very strict with what we got during the week.

Now to be fair I still love my veg but only if they’re cut a certain way, don’t really bother with meat, don’t have set meal times, had haribos tangtastic for dinner last night, had the soft jelly ones for breakfast, skipped lunch had custard for dinner and I’m still hungry so I’ll go root out some tuc crackers and cheese.

I do that because I can and I couldn’t do that til I was well into my late teens. I know better and I should act better but I don’t and though I have no excuse for a bad diet, I still have a bad diet

You live and learn though. Each day you can change something you don’t like doing. You’ll get where you want to be eventually



TA I’ll probs have no teeth when I’m 50

We only got a small bar at the weekends. Desserts after dinner only happened a handful of times a year. Fizzy drinks were restricted to birthdays and Christmas (those big bottles of Country Spring). I’m 34.

Having said that, I think the above was a bit TOO strict. I overate bad stuff from my teenage years to about my mid-twenties because I kind of wondered at it. But I think money also played a part in that my parents didn't have enough of it to be wasting some of it on junk food.

I disliked fruit for much of my childhood. I typically had a fry for breakfast, and sometimes cereal. There was a time when I liked crisps. I had my fair share of chocolate and sweets. Combined with a bad habit with toothbrushing at one point, I had to go to an atypical dentist appointment. I remember being put under an anaesthetic, and I was reluctant to go under it. I wailed over that moment, and I remember playing one of my childhood games, Mario 64, after getting home. Things have gotten a lot better since then, with a few hitches in recent memory.

Around the age of 11 or 12, I started to make a breakthrough with my diet. I would try and eat healthier breakfasts - Weetabix or yogurt/granola, rather than the fry and chocolate cereal I was accustomed to for much of my childhood. This was probably also the point I started to like more fruit. I started to like bananas, and would eat fruit rather than just get my supply of vitamins from fruit juices, smoothies, and at one point, supplements.
I became more conscious of my diet, perhaps a bit too much, especially for a child who was about to enter his adolescence.

Nowadays, I typically have Weetabix for breakfast. Quite frequently, I have noodles or chicken wings, whether it be for lunch, dinner, or supper. Quite often, my appetite isn't up for meals, probably due to snacking.

TA: The father walks in, I'm just relaxing watching American Dad on Fox.

He says "Is there not something better on??" He's one of these people that thinks because it's animated that it's for like children.

I'd be thrown out of the house if I ever said what I was thinking "what would you rather I watch dad, anything of your taste? Mind numbing drivel like Nationwide, About The House, Ear to Ground, Eastenders, Don't Tell The Bride, reality t.v. ****, Operation Transformation, depressing documentaries on the Irish health service....I'd rather peel my eyelids off"

I like to watch t.v. where I'm not losing the will to live.

If he doesn't get the humour it's instantly defined not funny.

My mother was a bit of a mad bitch when I was a teenager, she was either having a high or a low. A high meant she bought sugary food, junk food, fizzy drinks etc and a low meant she didn't buy any food. This was a progression from when I was a young child when it was either no food or frozen junk like chips, fish fingers, crispy pancakes (who remembers them?!). And this is the same woman who used to make Christmas cakes and puddings for extended family, I'm talking the real deal cakes and puddings that everyone raved about.
So I grew up with a messed up attitude towards food and it has taken about 15 years to fix that.

My TA is that I actually have to work to get money to buy things. I don't want to go to work waaaarrrggghhhh! I want to stay in bed with my dogs.

One thing that's been bugging the s**t out of me of late is job announcements on local radio, it's these great multinational companies setting up or expanding their operations and creating so many hundred jobs.

I can always predict what the newsreader says to a tee, "Good news on the jobs front today as [Insert company name here] have announced an expansion which is expected to roll out 200 jobs at their site in Dublin."

Dublin, why is it always Dublin?? Why can't they spread the wealth and branch out a bit across the country, bet you the midlands or somewhere down the country would benefit greatly from a multinational setup. Give some workers a better work/life balance. Get them off the motorways and save them the long commutes, traffic, petrol/toll costs and getting up at stupid o clock in the morning. Be better for road safety as well as local economies, people would have a bit more money to spend and time to themselves, maybe build or rent a place outside Dublin. People could spend more time with their family, or enjoy their hobbies after work.

Good luck with that when you're stuck on the M50 in the morning/evening shouting at the bellend in front of you in traffic, sipping on an overpriced outskirts of Dublin petrol station coffee because you're wrecked from a few days working and annoying commuting times, before arriving home and having just enough time to cook a meal and go to bed, and rinse and repeat for the next day. What kind of a f**king life is that? Basically living for the weekend, literally!

I mean in comparison to other counties, a lot of Ireland is still stuck in the stone age employment wise. And it was like that during the boom too, a lot of the smaller cities and towns got a shopping centre if they were lucky and that's the only development a smaller city or town gets and a few overpriced apartment blocks as well, More minimum wage jobs than anything and s**t contract jobs where you don't know what hours you're doing from one week to the next.

Am I the only one who thinks the table is quite tilted in Ireland? It's almost like they don't want you to make a living and have a half decent work/life balance during your Monday to Friday, there should be some sort of upheaval in this country. There is 20 odd other counties that struggle to move forward and prosper, while Dublin plows ahead. I understand Dublin has it's own problems like with the homeless crisis and all but I'm talking like in economic terms, they are looked after better than other counties and everywhere else falls behind.

My Witcher 3 annoyance is that I my OH bought me the dlc for Christmas 2 years ago and I still haven’t played through the dlc. I want to do it properly and have a death march play through before hitting the dlc, but I just don’t have the time. My last play through had me up for hours after himself and the kids had gone to bed

I was walking up South William Street just before 8 this morning and there was a lorry stopped emptying the recycling bins from outside some of the properties.

The lads were working quickly enough.

Eventually about 5 cars ended up stuck behind waiting. I'd imagine they were held for less than 2 minutes overall in the end. As the guys are emptying some impatient twat in the queue starts beeping, which leads all the others to follow suit. There is a chorus of impatient beeping, various angry faces, lots of gesticulating. It was beyond ridiculous. What did they expect the guys to do? Abandon the job and retreat back to the depot.

If being delayed for that long causes such a reaction in people they are going to be dead from a heart attack or a stroke before long! Only the start of the day and they are already het up and angry. I think being stuck in metal boxes so much does that to some folk.

Saddos!

This reminds me of another pet TA of mine on the road - people who's immediate reaction to some sort of blockage and/or hazard on the road is to take one hand off the bloody steering-wheel and start pressing the make-stupid-useless-noise button. Keep your hands on the wheel and concentrate on controlling the vehicle properly, or I'll pull your mallet head out through the window, cunnox!! :mad:

I've also seen plenty of drivers not using their indicators, so pedestrians won't be able to know which way the drivers will turn.

Hope you enjoy the second play through.
I bought my OH an Xbox one and the Witcher 3 for his birthday but I ended up getting hooked on the Witcher and staying up all hours to clear it It's so addictive. Just an epic experience.
I'm annoyed at myself for leaving it so long to play the dlc.

I got a game at Christmas and put some good hours into it. Completely forgotten about it until now which is TA, now I have to try find time to play it again.

There's a mad little ball of fur behind a gate that I have to walk by every day. It sits still and just as you are walking past lets fly a volley of loud high pitched barks. The little fcuk only seems to do it to me for some reason. I keep forgetting about him and then leap a foot in the air when he lets rip. Even worse is when someone sees me jumping like a big girl's blouse. How humiliating.

LadyMacBeth_

I agree with the people who say that being deprived makes you go the opposite way too! I tend to do the opposite of what I'm told to do so even if my mum fed me nothing but carrots I'd probably have ended up like this anyway I guess there is a balance in there somewhere.

I got my missus The Witcher 3 for her birthday and I'm happy to see everyone loving it! She's mental about Skyrim and Oblivion so I knew she'd like it.

My TA is that I had to leave my laptop in Reading because I didn't have space for it in my bag and I'm mad addicted to a game called Banished and all of your talk about gaming is making my withdrawal worse

The middle of my top lip is cracked the last few days. Have done nothing about it of course but it is quite TA and sore.

wheresmahbombs

In the past, in the corner at the end of my road, people occasionally block this corner. It makes me think of them as self-important, self-absorbed individuals. One day, on the way home from my local shop, I walked by a bunch of guys who then told me to move out of the way. How f***ing rude.
