    Some body changed the setting on my work computer, now the text is huge and the way web pages is set out is irritating, most annoying, the print and set up for my twitter is sooooo big, blind freddie could read it from across the road!!!

    Spent most of the am trying to get it back to the way it was and nothing has worked, the IT guru will not be happy with having to fix this.

    So are American Indians if you go back far enough.
    US is a crazy place at the moment. So happy I don't live there.

    I’m a moron. Am checked into hotel for a wedding and as id planned on making a quick escape in the morning I only brought leggings and a t shirt, and completely forgot to bring shoes to wear home. So the only shoes I have are the high heels I’ve on me.

    My hair.

    Both trivial and annoying.

    I mean, what's it's problem? If I get it cut, it just looks a bit less annoying. Except if it's too short, which is also annoying.

    Just shut up, stupid hair.

    The Now 3 CD reissue and the way it differs to the original.
    2 missing tracks and 13 of the others in different versions.

    Thanks Amazon for your lovely email and being so considerate.
    So that I am not waiting for my goods too long, you have split the order to get part of it to me straight away.

    Only the Kindle cover isn’t much good without the Kindle :(

    Ticketmaster. Or else the Olympia theatre, not sure which.
    Booked tickets in the Circle for Coppers the musical last week. All the 31 euro rows were saying restricted view. The rows further up were 50 something.
    We get there and there’s a big column in front of the seats.
    But the circle was about one third full. So they intentionally sold crap seats. The rest of the row was empty.
    Anyway we moved to the 50 euro seats that were free. Musical was graaaand, it was a laugh. People were literally roaring with laughter, maybe my sense of humour is different but I didn’t think it was fall off your seat funny. The sound wasn’t great either, hard to make out what they were saying at times.
    Probably more for those who think Mrs. Brown’s Boys is a howl.

    I was in a shop Today(Several of them in the country).
    Teenage guy steals a designer t-shirt. Staff call him back and the Gardai.
    His mother was with him and she said they were being discriminated against.
    The manager made some comment along the lines of ''I have to look after the stock'' There response was. '' You just work here''.
    They left yelling and screaming about discrimination.

    People using the imperial system without giving a metric figure. Just reading a book and the author says that the temperature in 1812 when Napoleon was retreating from Moscow was -130 fahrenheit. Had to google it - it was -90 Celsius!

    Must be a typo!

    That annoys me, always have to google the conversion, ( if it’s something that really interests me ) was never taught the other system in school, not blaming the school though as it was a different time.

    Same with Americanised spelling, even my phone has underlined my spelling of Americanised now as a typo!!

    They left the shop saying see you in court. That wasn't for them stealing it was to sue them for discrimination.

    Finished work early and had to come into town to get diesel so I said I’d come in home to mam while I’m here. Came home and she’s not here and doesn’t have her phone so I can’t ring to ask when she’ll be back. Do I wait or not?

    Heading to bed, planning an epic sleep after weeks of stress and anxiety. Don’t have to get up in the morning. The one night of the year my neighbours are having a party :(

    Ah sh!te that's more than a TA Poochie. Throw in the headphones and listen to something soothing if possible. Be better than dealing with that annoyance. Hope you catch a break with the stress and anxiety.

    Thanks! Stress and anxiety were due to workload issues and work problems. While they’re not gone, the fog has lifted a bit so think I’m on the right side of things there :)
    Now just need to catch up on some good quality sleep, heat not helping these past few nights. Hopefully the neighbours won’t be too bad, but it’s only one night so can’t blame them. We’re all allowed one loud party a year in my book!

    My ****ing fringe. I have a massive forehead and I look like an egg with a bit of hair on top so I go for a full fringe but it never stays in place and I give up and go for a side fringe and now I look like I have a combover. I give up, you have defeated me once again forehead.

    When people say ''typical Yanks'' about any subject regarding the USA. There's around 330 Million of them, 50 States and god knows how many different cultures. The place is so vast that it has 4 time-zones on its main landmass. Some farmer from Kansas is gonna be a world away from some hot-shot stock broker in Manhattan who is gonna be very different to a hipster in Portland who'll be different from a Californian surfer and so on.

    Aldi fruit spiral ice pops. They're lovely but the spirals make them difficult to suck. 😋

    Brought back a memory. I worked with a man who said the only good Brit was a dead Brit. I said that's me and my family gone. He back tracked. Nowadays probably be sacked.

    When you go to a bricks and mortar shop to buy something but they don’t have it in stock, and by the time they order it in and call you to come and collect it you could buy it with one click and have it delivered to you door

    "No, don't have it but we can order it for you"


    "I can order it myself online. Thanks, bye."

    At work yesterday, I walked past the chef. “What’s wrong with you?” she asks. I say “nothing, why?” and she replies “you look sick”. That’s what I get for not wearing makeup to work :rolleyes:
