    Weird sizing. I was reading some crappy gossip magazines yesterday, a rarity for me, honestly. Anyways there were two comparison photos of Kardasian sisters, stating that they are a UK size 8. The fcuk they are, they have enormous boobs and bums. I'm not a skinny lady, but Jesus, whoever measured them as size 8's must've only measured their rib cages.

    My issue with sizes. It's darn near impossible to buy half sizes in mens shoes/runners. The look of confusion I get some from shop assistants when I ask for a half-size....it's like the first time they've heard of it.

    You just can't buy anything without trying it on anymore. Whether it's clothes or shoes. The odds are it'll be either too big or too small, regardless of whatever size it says it is.

    When I was younger my waist size was 31... Why the fcuk do jean manufactures go up in size every 2 inches?

    When you order a take away, you've it all set up and you're ready to get your feed on when you realise that the drink they gave you with it is luke warm :mad:

    wet some kitchen roll and wrap it around your drink, throw it in the freezer. 10 mins and you'll have an ice cold drink :)

    People who pronounce the word "train" as "tray yan" or the word "bus" as "booooos".

    Also, people who call a bus a "coach". It's not horse drawn FFS.

    Whats the trivial reason in locking a thread on 10,000 posts? is it just another trivial annoying thing that has to be entertained?

    "Nevin", just looking at the guy he has all the hallmarks of a pretentious bell end. A fair amount of these celebrity cooks and chefs have that pretentious air about them!

    The chefs on the British and Australian Masterchef were good, and I had hoped the Irish one might for once prove me wrong about RTE's attempts to copy foreign format shows...

    It was too much to hope for :(

    The fridge in my friends house makes you wait a few seconds before you are allowed to open it after closing. Sounds OK, but when you are making a sandwich and put the butter away, but a certain condiment or sandwich filler catches your eye as the door closes, the few seconds is eternity.

    I just finished giving out to the washing machine a half hour ago. It feels like a lifetime waiting for the door to unlock.

    The comedian Bill Burr had a great bit about how the idea of being a mother being the hardest job in the world was incredibly disrespectful to people with actual difficult /dangerous jobs.

    An awful lot of patting yourself on the back for carrying out a fairly basic biological function.

    I know a guy who semi retired to Spain a few years ago. I met him recently.

    "So, you must be fairly fluent in the Spanish now?"
    "Nah"
    "Well, you must be handy on the food front, paella and all that?"
    "Nah, don't like the Spanish grub"
    "Do you for a few pints at eh weekend with your Spanish mates?"
    "Nah, I do with a few Irish and English though, I don t know any Spaniards "
    "Do you tour around, Barcelona? Madrid? Basque country?"
    "Nah, just stay around Alicante"
    "Why the fcuk did you go to Spain?"
    "Its hot, and cheap"

    Sometime you just wonder.........................ALL Spain has to offer, and he sits around eating pie and chips, reading the "Mirror"


    I was in a pub in the midlands a few years back listening to a fella tell his mates about his holidays to Spain.

    They asked him if he picked up any of the local lingo.

    'A little bit in the bars and that' was his answer and in his thick brummie accent....'a bottelo of thato over hereo, por favor' to uproarious laughter.

    It's mostly used by people who can't support their own kids too. And are being supported by the state. It also implies that any mother who works is less of a mother when they're actually ten million times more.

    Sitting at home watching daytime TV and playing with toys is hardly taxing Is it?

    An Post raising postage rates AGAIN. A couple of weeks ago I bought some 88 cent stamps to post some cards to the UK, my husbands family live there and there's a couple of birthdays coming up next week. Yesterday there was a notice in the post office that it now costs 1 euro to send an international letter. What dafuq do An Post think they're playing at, a fcuking euro to send a card to England. Dear God, how I wish that there was an alterantive postal service, I would never send anything with An Post again. Greedy fricking bastards:mad:

    30 years ago when I was in school most people's mothers stayed at home to look after them. The only children whose mother worked their mothers were the local doctor or the shopkeeper. This was in a rural area but there were about 30 of us in the class.

    With regard to holidays in Spain , I've heard of people saying they're going to 'Puerto Rico' or las palmas in the canaries ,thinking they're in Spain and having no idea that the are islands at least 90 mins flight from Spain , the country should save on social welfare and shove this lot under a few sunlamps and throw them a few cans for two weeks and they'd be none the wiser.

    And their service is getting ****tier and ****tier too - we're always getting stuff at work that isn't addressed to us, and I've gotten some other people's things at home too, we get stuff at work that's dated a week ago, it's a surprise when you see something dated the previous day.

    I don't see the attaction. I'd agree with the body but she has an odd looking head alright. She reminds me of turks missus from scrubs. Alright but you wouldn't be moving mountains for a go on her!

    As for miley she looks like a demented pixie on speed.

    I don't see or hear much of either of them which is the opposite to trivial annoyance. Mildly pleasing?

    :mad: The humidity is driving me nuts, nothing adhesive will stick. I lost my blister patch minutes after I'd left the house and I put a couple of plasters on to cover the massive bruises on my arms after the IV on Tuesday, they were falling off after a few minutes. The bruises make me look like a battered wife/heroin addict. If I didn't cover them up I'd probably here rumours that I was one or the other.

    The significant proportion of Irish people who can't seem to function outside a temperature range of about 10 - 18C. Anything below is "freezing" and anything above is simply too hot to cope.

    Newsflash, folks, 26C is not anything resembling an extreme temperature.
