    When a woman has a few cat whiskers going on. I have an overwhelming urge to ask them to have a shave.

    When people look at you like you've 10 heads because you don't wanna go out New Years.

    "But.. It's New Years, you have to!"

    Nah, go away now. :pac:

    I think putting fresh food somewhere other than a fridge is bad form as it is a waste, but other than that it never bothered me. Not something I would do myself as most of the food I buy is fresh and non fresh items I would always buy the same brands (tea bags, beans etc).

    My friend's mother is terrible for this, takes stuff out of freezers and fecks it on a shelf when she decides she doesn't need it. It wouldn't even bug me THAT much but me and her daughter were talking once about how another friend of ours had been taken to court by Dunnes for robbing half a paper cup of shampoo, and how the gards and judge were really annoyed at Dunnes for wasting their time. She chimed in with "oh it's only right sure she probably had no money because she drank it all, they have to make a profit, she's a scumbag" blah blah blah. So her costing Dunnes money because she (maybe) drank all hers is scumbaggery, but how would you feel if Dunnes took you to court for being too lazy to walk twenty feet back the way you came?

    Yeah, I don't have to do one single fcuking thing because of the day of the year it is! I certainly don't have to go out and pay double rates to get into a club where I can't hear a thing, queue 30 mins for every drink I want and avoid vomiting and fighting for the night before making my way through Battle Royale to try get a taxi. Go on ahead and do that if you're so eager to count down from ten to one at a specific time, just leave me out of it :pac:

    Sick as a dog and it's going to be my first NYE in. Strangely, I'm not getting the feeling I'm missing anything. NYE in Dublin is just awful - overcrowded pubs/clubs full of people who've had too much to drink at a severe mark up, and nothing else out of the ordinary outside of a 10 second count down and it being difficult to get a taxi home for once.

    I do wish I'd been in Sydney again though on days like this just on the Rose Bay beach (the awfulness that is Bondi and those ones get horribly overcrowded too) with a few beers, bottle of whiskey, bottle of coke, some food and a great view of the fireworks from afar in what amounts to basically a big chilled out house/beach party. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uOd7zh5Mees/TTVZ9zWtZyI/AAAAAAAABVg/5xmbAuR4k2E/s1600/Sydney%2Bfireworks%2Bnew%2Byears%2Beve%2B2010%2B%2528III%2529.jpg

    But as for Dublin? Nah, don't get the feeling I'm missing much of anything, really.

    At a party when the DJ plays a dance song near the end of his set and says, "I wanna see everyone on the dance floor for this one." It's nearly always Rhythm Is A Dancer or fcuking Maniac 2000. And then some people try to drag you onto the floor because apparently you're as dry as Nun's crack if you don't get up and boogie. Not everyone wants to dance.

    Same thing with hair on their arms. Some girls wear short sleeved shirts and have these thick black hairs on their arms - disgusting.


    Never know whether to say anything to them or not? :o

    Cause that's a normal thing to drop into conversation...

    what on earth would you say to them? "Sorry love, you've got no business being in short sleeves, just letting you know"?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,595 ✭✭✭✭Aidric

    Course not. I just find myself thinking 'can you not see it yourself?'

    I've got moderately (fairish-coloured though) hairy arms, and at least in my case, yes I have eyes and I can see it, I just really don't care.

    Any place in the country do slowsets anyone know? I hate clubs and dancing and all that ****e. It's either jumping up and down for someone reason or my male mates dancing together :confused: eh lads :confused: to some hibbidy hoppidy music which I've no interest in anyway but a slowset now, now that's something I might like. I'm mid 20's and I've never had a proper dance with a girl, and it looks easy enough in the filums so it does.

    I shave my arms and people think I'm the weird one. :)
    what annoys me is people think that because I'm single I must be sad or unhappy or miserable or somethin?
    nope I'm quite happy I must say :-) :-) :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭poundapunnet


    Jaysis, I've enough to be shaving! Just the usual bits for a woman like but it keeps me busy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,453 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I'd never shave my arms! My mam does it and I've seen one of my ex-friends do it. They look terrible if you get a small bit lazy at all and feels like sandpaper. No thanks!

    Am gonna get some laser hair removal on my face in the new year. Once you hit 40 things seem to get darker. I'm allergic to wax and I had a really bad reaction to threading earlier this month. Some good pay as you go offers on.

    Hair on my arms is ok - when you're as good looking as me it's good to have a flaw. Keeps me in touch with the common people.

    Jaysus, that takes me back. I was eating some ice-cream whilst in your house, and left the spoon there. Think I was there for some car trouble you had?

    When I worked in a supermarket we used to fight over who got to do returns. It was just going around the shop with stuff people had left at the till and putting them back, like the opposite of shopping :D

    In fairness, doing returns in a shop is like freedom when you're at a till for like 4 hours straight, on your feet and serving customers. ;)

    Newest annoyance is this thread stuck on same topic for 4 pages or so.

    Also the hype people build NYE up to. Just another night of the year. March 31st changes to April 1st - never see it again, should we waste millions in fireworks then as well.

    My pet annoyances are broken things that are not fixed.

    Jasus now that I think about it, neither have I, and I'd imagine its fairly common. Unless you count grinding up against a girl in a mini skirt as dancing. Not many places do the slow sets now. However I remember I was at a 21st party years ago and a friend and I were dancing with a couple of girls from work that we fancied. We were dancing to the' hibbidy hoppidy' music as you so eloquently put it. :D Then a slow song came on and they all ran for the bar. :confused: I was like, "where the feck are you going?" I would have been more than happy to slow dance with this girl but they were having none of it.

    Teens and younger people up to their mid twenties interspersing everything they type with 'haha ' 'haha' , seriously , is this a mental side effect of some vaccine they were administered as kids , they all sound like Neanderthal half wits .

    I don't know what that means but I'm going to assume it means sending pics of my willy :L

    No it wasn't like that. That would be less embarrassing :L
