    Wheelie bin battering bastards. Sunday morning, stayed in bed for a bit, until neighbour decides to insert items in said wheelie bin one at a time, lifts lid, drops bag in, drops lid, lifts lid and repeats several times. The she goes back inside to tend screaming infant, and proceeds to open every window in her house, just in case we cannot hear the screaming kid, then she turns into the most dreaded of thing.....the parent who makes more noise than the kid the are try to keep quiet. "DO YOU WANT A BOTTLE? NO, NO, WHATABOUT SOME LIGA? NO NO, I KNOW, YOU WANT YOUR BABA BEAR"

    How about it's 10am Sunday, put the kid in a pram and go for a walk...its a nice day and the kid wont be able to speak for approx. another 6 months, so he/she wont be answering any time soon.

    Oh god, I thought I was the only one!!! It does my head in!!! It's always the fecking love zone on that radio station!!! Most PC radio station going, apart from maybe lyric fm. I don't think they know what they are at, at least lyric fm have a target audience. Q102 don't know whether they are coming or going.

    Modern day prams , they're like Winnebagos for kids , sometimes you see double ones and they're twice the size still , these things need they're own parking space in shopping centres etc and the child should be put in one of those much smaller little buggies from the seventies , can't remember the name , they had red or blue stripes and were really handy and easily collapsible .

    And is it just me or is it always followed by the first few bars of "Wonderful Tongight"? When I think of the slogan in my head, its automatically followed by this :mad: Its almost a natural progression.

    How can you not remember these from the 70's with the solid rubber wheels that made for a great set of wheels on a go-kart with an engine from a snapper lawnmower? :D

    They looked like deck chairs with wheels....the original "buggy", no back support whatever, I am surprised there are not a lot more hunchbacks around:D

    Maclaren rings a bell, was that the original stripey one?

    I bugs the crap out of me when I am looking for the cost of a service and the service providers quotes me the price ex vat.

    I am looking for the amount of money I need to hand over to you!
    Not a damn mathematical equation!
    What is the rate of vat now?
    What is €50 + vat?
    I don't carry a damn calculator around in my pocket.
    Just tell me the amount of money that I need to pay you!!!!!

    Rant over! I feel much better now!

    I'm 18 months older than my brother and I have a really vivid memory of him being asleep in the pram and me sitting on the little seat that went on top of the pram. I can remember hating him because he was all warm in there and I wasn't. Jeez, that must be about 38/39 years ago.

    Yeah your one Pumpkinseeds is more similar to the one I remember, less like a box car and more curved but all black, like a three quarter shaped egg :D

    I honestly can't remember eisenberg was it McLaren (not the same people who do Formula 1 surely? :D) but I know that company still makes the buggys you can take up the mountains alright, the "urban" ones, like the 4x4 rover you see parked outside the primary school gates in the morning in the middle of a city!

    I get that it's a status symbol, but Jesus, next thing they'll want the red carpet out for the little brats dears to make their way into school :pac:

    This is why I like Lent. I have been hoovering up ridiculous amounts of junk food at weekends. But I haven't had any junk for 3 weeks now. It helps me get back on track, then I can pig out over Easter and get healthy again for the rest of the year having 1 binge day a month, in theory.

    I haven't given up anything for lent in years! I take a month or so off the drink now and again though just to try and stay in shape but this time of year is stressful enough with assignments exams to be giving anything up any vices.

    I'm actually in fair good shape, but if this chocolate box isn't taken out of my line of sight i can see that changing for the worst alright, my cholesterol is probably through the roof already!:rolleyes:

    I'm addicted to chocolate. >.< I'm trying to get through the day with ravaging the chocolate biscuits hidden (not very well) in the back of the cupboard.

    I have half a bar of dark chocolate waiting for me at home, which I'm going to grate and eat with my greek yogurt. Om nom nom nom.

    The problem there is hidden chocolate tastes better then that in plain sight! I'm usually good enough and stick to Greek yogurt and nuts but i've been slack and haven't picked up any yogurt or nuts lately when shopping, seems to i stopped around the same time as that chocolate box appeared now that i think about it!!

    Subconsciously i am a fat kid trying to break free :o

    I would have thought assignments and exams were a reason for giving up drink :P I'm down to one night a week now until the exams are over. Cant believe the difference - actually waking up before my alarm, lying there going wtf, I must be late!

    Skype.
    Skype bloody annoys me.... Not the software itself (although there are definitely things I think they could do differently/better), but just trying to shut the damn thing down!!! Grrrrrrr....
    Sign Out - Fine. Click the red X - No prob. But wait, what's this now?? Skype is still there....??! But I just closed it. What's going on? Click on the taskbar. Yep just the sign in screen. But I want to shut it down. Oh yes, now I know...... I have to right click when it's on the taskbar and click on Exit. Grand, that'll do it now. Oh, no, wait, an alert box - what now?!!? "Are you sure you want to exit skype?" Eh YES I'm very sure as I've been trying to close it for the last 5 mins!!!! Grrrrrrrrr......

    What the hell is that all about??
    Skype was all fine and well until Microsoft bought it out. :mad::mad:

    I don't drink so I have one up on you. :P Unless you count the odd cocktail when I'm out for dinner, which is rare enough these days. :( Greek yogurt, best thing in the world. My days would be dull without it. :)

    I have been quite well behaved of late in fairness but not being able to go out for a few on a Sunday evening after being cooped up Friday and Sat night with my head in the laptop stressing would be cruel on myself! I am quite the opposite with regards to bed, i never wake up before my alarm regardless of if i've drank or not! I can actually sleep in until at least 12 without waking once most days if i have no reason to get up, i've been known to rise at 2 or even 3 in the afternoon though on spectacularly lazy days too!

    All this stuff you can sort in out in the settings menus, I usually have mine start minimized to the system tray and not show up in the task bar when I turn on my laptop or computer (I have it on the phone too but fcuk me it eats battery life!).

    What the hell is that all about??
    Skype was all fine and well until Microsoft bought it out. :mad::mad:


    Completely agree with this, and then they went and had to plaster everything with social media integration that's nigh on impossible to hide (and not just a matter of dealing with it in settings).

    Windows 8, Office 2013, Skype... All touchy feely fisher priced shìte! :mad:


    Dammit you got ME started now! :pac:
