Co-worker: are you going to the parade tomorrow?

* sharp intake of breath *

Me: "I don't have kids..

I am not a tourist..

Bagpipes / uileann pipes / sh*t marching bands are not fun and are painful to listen to..

I don't want to see the local dance / karate / soccer / GAA youth group doing hip-hop dance / karate chops / keepy-uppys / solos etc.

I don't enjoy being crammed in beside screaming kids shouting that they can't see / didn't get sweets / ate too much sweets or just general crying..

I don't care what topical subject my local bakery uses for the direction of their float design. It'll hardly be high-brow or topical.. maybe I'm wrong and it'll be the Syrian War or that Kim Kardashian has an ever-inflating arse!..

Float.. car.. float.. taxi.. lorry.. tractor.. lorry.. float.. taxi.. car.. marching band.. minor celebrity.. car.. car.. car.. car. Take out the fluff and you've 3 minutes of potentially worthwhile stuff there..

The goddamn weather? Whoever or whatever is up there and controls the weather obviously doesn't enjoy the parade either..

Another year, another opportunity to see couples warring outside a local pub pissed at 4pm in the day. Probably 4 out of the last 5 years I've seen a woman crying while her boyfriend walks off in a huff..

So, that's a no.."

Actually, I don't know if this is a TA or a "deep seated A"..

You just reminded me of a story from St Patrick's Day last year or the year before.
My husband and I went into town trying to find somewhere to have a meal. We walked by an Italian place he likes and it was open so we went in. It was around 3pm or so. There was us, an older couple (probably in their 70s), a couple with 2 kids, a fella eating on his own and then, this couple came in.
They were both wearing Ireland rugby jerseys and I'm pretty sure Ireland had lost the match that same day.
So this couple came in and were quite drunk, the man was quite jovial and jokey but the woman was like an antichrist and had a face on her from the minute she walked in.

So anyway, because the place was quiet and it was early in the day, the same waitress served everyone. She was a young girl, probably 17 or 18, kind of shy but looked after us all well and seemed to be good at her job.

So anyway, all the other tables were at starters stage and the drunk couple just wanted pizzas so the drunk woman had asked the waitress a few different questions about the pizza menu and the waitress was very nice, answering them all, she had to go into the kitchen twice to double check some things with the chef.
Now, the whole place could hear everything the drunk woman was saying because she was so loud and she struck me as someone who is probably loud when she's not that drunk.
Next thing, they got their food and we hear the drunk woman ask the waitress "can I ask you something?" and the waitress says "yep, go ahead" and the drunk woman asks her "is there a reason why you're being so rude to me?" Well you'd want to see all of our faces!
The drunk woman continues saying the waitress had been rude to her since she walked in and she got such a rude vibe off of her and all this baloney. The drunk man was mortified as well, kept telling her to shut up. In fairness to the waitress she handled it so well, kept apologising if she came across as rude and saying it wasn't her intention blah blah blah. But that wasn't good enough for the drunk woman so the manager of the restaurant went up and she was less than impressed with the drunk woman, basically told her to finish her food and leave.

So the drunk man, looking mortified and sobered up, got up from the table and the drunk woman followed him. He paid for his food and she to the drunk woman, she could pay for her own and could make her own way home. So she spilled the contents of her handbag out on the floor looking for money, paid for her food and left. Then we could hear her screaming bloody murder chasing after the drunk man.

The drunk woman looked so normal apart from the fact that she was so drunk. She was young, probably the same age as me, her make up was lovely, her hair was lovely, she had a pair of expensive jeans on and a designer handbag but imagine what it was like in her house the next morning? THE FEAR.

The lovely waitress was still looking after us all but had obviously been in the back crying and everytime she went over to one of the tables, everyone was giving her a little pep talk, telling her she was great etc and as everyone was leaving (we all kind of finished up eating around the same time) they left big tips for her.

That is the first story I think of when I think of St Patrick's Day.

People who are smoking them vapor cigarettes because that's what they are and blow it all around. Fine if they want to put that poisein into their body and destroy themselves while been some companies experiment fine but don't blow it in my face or anyone else that does not want that poison in their body thank you. I swear the next person that does that near me is going to get winded.

I have chronic asthma and they actually make me really wheezy, much more than regular cigarettes do.

Sounds like the drunk couple were 'plants' so the waitress could get sympathy tips....i joke, i joke, i joke!

The f8cking weather this morning. I'm not going anywhere today.

I cannot deal with fussy eaters AT ALL. There are no children in my future but if on another plane I had one and it turned out to be a picky eater I'd have to leave it on orphanage steps somewhere.

Just had to bring someone to mass. Forgot how much I dislike mass. Ya. Mass is crap.

I don't care about mass and religion either. I dropped religion in 3rd year, and I'm not going back to it again.

In recent years, I had to go to my nephews' baptisms, however.

Basq

I go to weddings, baptisms and the like probably once a year.

But spend the time looking around ensuring I stand when everyone else is standing, kneel when I'm unsure if I'm supposed to sit etc.

Christ (*no pun intended*), it's like a dance routine!

I am in a coffee shop and there is a guy who has taken off his sandals and is now has bare feet on a table. This is not okay. I might need therapy to recover from the ordeal of seeing that.

A bit TA that I didn't push myself to go out and socialise today but I am doing well the last few days healthwise and am minding myself so I think it's the right thing to do.

I watched this today, kinda proving scientifically that cats really don't give a crap about anyone. They put down two plates, one with a tiny morsel of food, and one with a good helping. The owner made a fuss over the tiny morsel. The faithful dogs all rush to the tiny morsel, and the cats ignore the owners and head for the big helping.

TA annoyed about social media today, everywhere from my friends back home some really lame photos popping up with Guinness pints in some cheesy Irish pubs. It's like celebrating the National day of Kazakhstan all over the world and nobody knows why.

I should have known better

the purple tin

I saw a murder of crows all attacking one crow in particular. Quite vicious, like they wanted to kill him! I scared them off and they perced nearby. The victim picked himself up, dusted himself off and promptly rejoined the gang.

When you've had a few pints...ok a Lot...and you go to open your shoelaces and it turns into a knot instead....so after 5 min of trying you end up kicking them off using your other foot...then wake up the next day and find the heel is hanging off..ffs
