    I’ve started reading a lot of (auto)biographies.mostly sticking to the music theme. I’ve re-read Slash’s which is great. Then Joe Perry, good. Then Steven Tyler, which was gloriously wacky as expected.
    HOWEVER. The current one is Anthony Kiedis Scar Tissue.
    I’m about a quarter of the way through and it’s the most self-congratulatory crap I’ve ever read. And according to reviews of it, it gets worse!
    But the psycho in me won’t let me stop until it’s finished.

    Thick fog on the motorway and the amount of clowns who haven't any lights on never mind fog lights is shocking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that

    Try Chrissie Hynde’s! Obnoxious.

    I woke up in the middle of the night with a massive pain in my ankle. It felt like i had sprained it. What is more annoying is that i am not sure if this actually happened or if i just dreamed it. TA'd at hyperrealistic dreams.

    Still those numpties in airports.

    Move some trays to the return area and your items will come down the belt. Standing there looking on forlornly will not magically make your chattels appear! I understand it was another inconsiderate mouth breather that took their stuff and left the tray, however it is what it is as they say. Returning someone else's tray does not make you subservient to them yer just getting on with the situation as you meet it. asthey say you can only play the cards you are dealt.

    Aaarrggghhhh!!!

    First they came for the socialists...

    When people haven't a clue how to quote and it looks a mess.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Feel bad for getting straight into annoyance but ta when people type '' following '' or ''f'' on facebook threads when ''follow thread '' is an option on the drop down menu.

    I suppose I didn't know that until someone else mentioned it.

    Some fecker in scotland keeps using my email address when creating accounts online. I keep getting legitimate order detail emails from places like Superdry. I even have the feckers address because Superdry included it on the order acknowledgement. The annoying this is that Superdry and the other sites just ignore the emails i send them telling them that they have the wrong email address. I think i'll just change the password on their Superdry account. they might get the message then.

    I have a very similar e mail address to a school just minus a full stop
    I get alll sorts of mail including private CV.s and even one about a private matter about a child
    I have no idea how to stop that as obviously people don't add in the full stop when mailing the school

    Get your iron and B vitamin levels checked. All the sleep in the world won't help if either of them is low.

    I made an email address for my nephew when he was born so he wouldn't have a stupid one when he was old enough to want/need one. I checked it last week and there were a ton of email notifications from FB in the account so I freaked out and thought that someone was using his name to open fake accounts. I logged into the account to check and realised it was just some other guy with the same name. I had to email him to tell him that he had used the wrong email address to set up his FB account and that I had changed his password by mistake. Oops! :rolleyes:

    This is all just far too tempting now. just got an email from fedex asking me if i wanted to redirect a parcel for the idiot who keeps using my email address. It asks me for their postcode to confirm the right person is doing the change but i have that because Superdry included their full address in an order acknowledgement. Should i ask Fedex to hold off on delivery for a week or so?

    FedEx and their "brilliant" customer service.
    Had a package sent from our supplier in the States.
    Item is listed as delivered and signed....only thing is the person who signed for it, doesn't work here...and it item wasn't delivered to my workplace.
    Rang them up on Wednesday, escalation team will call back in 4 hours....48 hours later I had to ring back twice.
    The place they claim it was sent to (different unit number in a different estate across the road from us), never seen it nor had anyone working there using the name that signed for it.
    FedEx are adamant that it was delivered there and a member of their escalation team will ring me back....i am not holding my breath on it and more than likely it's another call on Monday....

    And these idiots want my business for shipping...f**k off.

    It's on me to go to a party tonight. My party days are so over. All I want to do is cuddle up on the couch after a long week, stretch the legs and sleep. These feckin' killjoys and their parties killing all the peace. The effort. I must be getting old when quiet time alone at home is the most valuable thing of all. Doing nothing, and nothingness, is the most amazing discovery ever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 701 ✭✭✭bolgbui41


    The management committees of local clubs. Everything about them. But in particular the petty politics of the people who have been on the committee for too long - those who think the club belongs to them and who are unhelpful to and dismissive of others. They manage to suck all the fun out of going to actual club activities

    Travel sickness. I seem to get it every time I am in a car now, even on short journeys. Bleugh :(.

    I hear you. My wife and I were invited a couple of months ago to a big 50th birthday party bash for one of her colleagues - function room, band, meal the whole lot. My initial reaction was to wonder why people just can't mark these things by just going to a restaurant in a small group and leave everyone else in peace.
