    Decided to do a hike today and omg am in need of a defibrillator after it. I’m useless at incline. People double and treble my age passing me out and here’s me trying to pretend I’m not out of breath. Think my organs are in shock. Need to get fit.

    Reminds me of climbing Croagh Patrick with my father when I was 25 and he was 57. He climbed it in half the time I did and came back down to meet me and climbed up to the top again with me. Show off! :P :pac:

    No matter how meticulous and careful I am at pouring my cough bottle onto the spoon, there is always a rogue droplet or two that I don't spot that causes the bottle to become sticky and leaves a ring on the dresser.

    It's nearly a bigger a TA than the cough itself :D

    Just had a really violently graphic nightmare.

    That’s bad and all but the thing that annoys me is that your brain is capable of making your dreams have literally anything in them. Anything! The ability to fly around? Winning the world cup? Being with beautiful women? Nah mate, how about a machete wielding gang killing your family.... sound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Ok and bonus TA, I only posted that last nightmare one directly into the thread without reading back through any posts. Now it looks like I’m just copying everyone’s dream chat.

    I went through 3 jobs in the last year. One was maternity cover , one we lost a huge client and us temps got let go and my current job is the best of all :)

    My friend is also looking for a job. We helped each other out with spotting openings and practice interviews

    Sometimes getting an interview is an achievement and I was always 20 - 30 minutes early and would get a tea and sit outside. I take it seriously as most applications never get an interview


    My TA is this friend is constantly late and wonders why he is unsuccessful. I say it constantly to be early and he arrives late and stressed and gets rejected

    TA’d at lack of cop on. You have to be on time ! Then moans to me about interview rejections

    Person next to me on the train who has the sound on for texting so all I’m hearing is “tap tap tap tap tap tap”. How is it not annoying her having it like that all the time!

    I'm working 30 years since Nov of last year....and I can't afford a holiday for the family this year....I know that might come across as first world problems but after 30 years of working I'm pissed off.

    Back to the toilets in work after using normal ones for the hols. Fookin rank. The smell. The mankiness. Dirty bastards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    I am a simple guy. My personal hygiene consists of;-

    - Shield soap (4 bars for a £1)
    - Tooth brush, tooth paste (simple Colgate £1.00) and mouth wash
    - I have not shaved in two years as I went all hipster but I bought a hair trimmer in TK Maxx for £10.00
    - Cotton buds
    - Aftershave/smelly stuff bought for me
    - Sainsbury's own brand deodorant (£1.00- the smell of success does not need embellishment)
    - Use the wife's shampoo.

    That's it. No fancy smancy deep face scrubs, creams, lotions, conditioners made from the piss of Albino monkeys deep in the Andes and the like.

    Why do women (had the same with ex girlfriends and I grew up with 4 sisters) have 5-10 bottles of stuff in the shower but half of them are lying there empty ?

    Had it last night having a shower after running which brings me to my annoyance- Empty bottles left in the shower.

    And the ones that are not empty are impossible to work out what the heck they actually are?

    What is wrong with having a bottle that just says in big writing "Shampoo"?

    Instead I am standing there bollox naked picking up all sorts of strange exotic bottles trying to figure out what is what. I just want shampoo. Jesus Christ...last night I picked up half a bottle of Imperial Leather Unicorn shower gel that my 3 year girl has....unicorn themed shower gel for **** sake. Unicorns don't even exist.

    All these empty bottles of this and that- it's like some sick game being played on me.

    You're missing a trick and setting up your own fail by not using a combined body/hair wash.

    That's an equally TA for me. I just buy the Lynx 3-in-1, does it all. Hair, body and face.

    How hard it is to find affordable pj's in a cozy fabric with a collar.
    Plenty in shops that are hoodies or ponchos but I need revers to keep my neck warm enough to prevent stressing its physiology.

    So for last few years we have set the heating to kick in 20mins before getting up for work, so the kitchen isn't freezing in the morning.

    TA:
    Last few weeks my two year old son gets woken up by the boiler and the clicking and banging of the pipes expanding meaning he is ready to get up and shouting "porridge time daddy" from his room, 20mins before the rest of us!!

    The fact that I am falling asleep at the drop of a hat. But come bedtime WIDE AWAKE. Fcuking hell :(

    I'm not having a good day. Managed to get up and leave for work an hour early. Was sitting on the bus at 6.25 wondering why it was so quiet out. Skinned my knuckle getting a brolly out of the press. Paper cut THREE of my fingers in one go getting something off the printer. Hold me.

    Not judging you here because I don't know you and I hope I am wrong. I am just passing a comment.

    Do you and your partner smoke cigarettes?

    40 smokes a day for a year comes in at €8k.

    A family could have two overseas holidays and a holiday at home for that amount of money every year.

    Often wonder why my non-smoker friends don't spend their savings on what they constantly tell me I could spend it on :pac:

    The guy at the check out in Lidl told me he liked my hat. Then as I was packing up my bits he told the next girl he liked her coat so now I just feel played.

    It doesn't have to be either/or. Just holiday in a duty free island and do a years worth of smoking in 1 week at a fraction of the cost.

  • Registered Users Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭dubstarr


    Reduced food in shops going in at full price.Because the reduced stickers are not put on properly.

    Except its not covered and he couldnt remember his number so moved me to another self scan.Thats what you get ha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    My appetite is insatiable since the Christmas break. I literally cannot stop eating. I ate a huge dinner last night, and was hungry enough to eat another straight after. Adjusting to smaller portions is no fun but I know I'll regret it if I don't get it in hand.
    TA'd at being hungry all day & wanting all the nice things :(

    Being treated like a charity case.

    My Dad has contacts in the second-hand car trade and whenever something comes on the market he tends to be in the loop. One came up before Christmas that would an ideal upgrade on my own car, but I specifically told him I wouldn't be able to afford it till April/May as I have some dental procedures coming up in early 2020 amongst other expenses. My car insurance ruins till mid-May anyway so a switch over would be a lot easier.

    But doesn't he go ahead and buy the car anyway (under the proviso that I pay him back which I obviously will). I'm not a teenager, I can afford to look after myself financially. But I am prudent too, and would have much prefered to have done it in my own time when I had more time to save for it. But that would have required dialogue between two parties of course.

    My jalopy served my needs just fine. Don't want to sound ungrateful, but I don't like being molly-coddled either :(

    Didn’t read the last memo properly. He is only allowed to compliment every second lady.;)

    Back to Lidl school with him, ha.:pac:
