Old style solid fuel cooker... You fill the fire compartment and it has hot plates atop and an oven at the side. Sensible houses connect them to the water supply so you can heat water and radiators but this one stands alone. they get called Aga and Rayburn more than ranges.. Mine here is the heart of the house, burns wood, turf, coal and always water heating atop

A couple of months ago, we took out our front wall and gate. My TA is that I regularly still hear the click of someone coming in the gate. I'm starting to freak myself out that the gate is still there in another dimension, and my Dad is coming through it. I really need to stop reading Stephen King....

Not being able to get through to parents when I have good news and the lovely warm feeling I had on receiving said good news is slowly ebbing away as it is replaced by a general irritation that they are not answering their phones......

Aw, I hate that. You're all excited and want to share the good news...and it rings out! When I had my second child (very, very early) I didn't tell them I was in labour. They're in a different country and didn't want to worry them. Then, when it was all done, a whopping healthy baby...nobody answered their phones! About 5 hours later I got a text from my sister 'Saw your missed call, what were you up to?'!!! 'Squeezing a sofa out through my fanny' I answered!

OUCH!

Reminds me. At the Craft Fair in SUnday, a young woman walked past with a baby in a sling.. then I did a double take as all I could see was a fluffy big black ear sticking out. Thought for a moment it was a puppy.. Just a hat..

JanaMay · 09-12-2014 5:17pm

Ah yeah it was quite ouchy at the time but nothing compared to the pain of them not answering their feckin phones! In my hormonal haze I was fully convinced that they were all having a massive family party without me...at 10 in the morning! I felt so left out, I could see them there with their tins of Roses and Viscount biscuits all together munching away! Sleeveens!

Now I'm annoyed at them all over again! :mad::pac:

I met someone yesterday, who had to attend A&E, and they only had to wait twenty mins to be seen by a doctor.

I attended a consultant last week as a private patient and I waited longer than that. If the above were the norm, the VHI could go fcuk themselves.

When I was in a+e yesterday I was waiting about the same before a doctor came, was really surprised. Thought I'd be ages waiting but I wasnt.

I have been three times to A and E and the first two times that were by ambulance I was seen almost immediately - medical card here. Third time more but less urgent.

went for Mammogram fews week ago in Jams Hospital Dublin APpt was for 4' oclock.
Im not joking when I say I had literally take my jacket off and sat down to begin waiting, when I was called in. I was done and dusted in about 20 mins flat.

150 for the consultant
180 for test A, covered by VHI
140 for test B, not covered VHI

The bit that pissed me off? being screwed for the car park, all of 3.50. Baxtards

Friends who move the friendship goalposts a long time into a friendship. Met this lad out one rebound weekend. We kept in contact, and we got on so well. He's probably the funniest person I've ever met. Hes hilarious. And I would consider him one of my closest friends. He lets me do all sorts of stuff to him, wax him, cut his hair (though I can't cut hair for **** he lets me practice), because he never says no to me.

He knows I have a boyfriend. He knows I live with my boyfriend. And he's been always fine with being my friend. He's even sent me hilarious texts of what his bridesdude speech is going to be if I was ever to get married.

So, today I text him good news, happy news for a change. Secret news. Because I wanted him to be super excited and pleased. Except it didn't happen like that. I got about 3 messages all saying all women were the same, we were like emotional tornados, and he was done being nice to women because we are all c words and you don't get anywhere being nice to women so might as well be a prick. I have absolutely no idea who pis5ed in his cornflakes, but that was completely out of the blue. Friends for a year and a half and he goes nuclear for no reason.

Doorbell just rang multiple times, followed by banging. Thought it was something important and opened - and it was a feckin chugger! Listened to her speech and then said no, and she demanded a reason why I wasn't going to give her my bank details and sign up. ffs! Never answering the door again, it's always either one of those or a gas provider salesman.

At this point if I'm not expecting someone to call I don't bother to answer the door. 1 Sunday morning a few weeks back we were woken by someone really hammering on the door, when I opened the upstairs window to see who it was it was a guy with his kids looking for a house across the street, right number, wrong neighbourhood. Easy mistake, but it was only a couple of months ago that his wife/partner woke us with the same kids for the exact same reason. The kids are old enough to know where they're going.

I don't think its me I think something happened with some girl and he just took it out on me but still, I'm so annoyed that he thinks just because he's nice to me means I should like him or whatever. Sorry that being my friend was such an effort and all

Cheese Wagstaff · 09-12-2014 10:40pm

People who wear braces/suspenders and a belt. You only need one to hold up your trousers lads, wearing both doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look inept.

1stuey1 · 09-12-2014 10:48pm

Ordering a Chinese, go home to find its wrong. Ring and complain.

Fast forward 1,week later. Make a joke of how I hope they don't get it wrong again , they laugh and comment "so sorry I'll personally make sure its OK. Get home,wrong.

Fast forward one week later - OK seriously twice wrong you honestly cant get an easier order. Its from the menu. They apologize. Get into car decide to check, wrong ..

Bang on the door, after ringing the bell = not a snowball's chance in hell will it be opened here.

A few nights ago, I fell asleep wearing my red fleece pajama jacket thingy from Dunnes. Woke up to find that the dye from it had bleached into the sheet and pillow case of the brand spanking new set of cream bed linens that I had just bought. And these were no ordinary sheets. It was the first set of really, really good/expensive bed linens that I ever bought. They were my Christmas present to myself & now they are fcuking ruined.

What is REALLY pissing me off is that I never, ever go to bed wearing anything heavier than a Tshirt. If I get too hot as I sleep, I wake up with a terrible headache that lasts all day & I also have horrible nightmares. It's that bad, I have to sleep with a window open, even in the depths of winter. And the one bloody time I fall asleep wearing something heavy, it's red and I'm sleeping on brand new, outrageously expensive cream bed linens. Bah humbug !!! :mad: :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I never ever ever order anything that has private courier delivery. Once three years ago a friend sent me two large boxes by fastway. Even though I talked the lad in through the phone he got lost and went home. The next day I had a very embarrassed farmer and his wife at the door ( Previous house).. he had found two large boxes in a field of cattle..lad had just dumped them over the gate.

I don;t have a proper phone connection and they insist on a phone number

The excuse on the tracking web site i " Remote rural area; unable to deliver"

An Post is brilliant.

Had planned a day's fishing with an old friend for today months ago. Today arrives and its too rough. We'll hunker down at my place with coffee and treats but nothing beats the craic when we fish together. It has been a few years since we cast a line together and he has to return to the continent this weekend. Ah well, it could be worse but still TA.

Well done for waiting for the light.
I can't stand parents who cross at any junction with their kids without a green man or without care and attention.

the opposite of this is also most annoying.

0715 am - Breezy pedestrian comes up to traffic light crossing, pushes button, has a quick left/right look and crosses - result - infuriated motorists watching green man with nobody there. :mad:

Tiny bus shelters that already have a line of people waiting for the bus, so I either have to stand in far too close proximity for comfort to someone else, or I can stand outside the bus shelter and get drenched...

At least the bus was empty! Must be all those new Coca-Cola bicycles they dropped in around the city that has no accommodations made for cyclists. Fantastic forward planning there! :rolleyes:
