    Sorry eisenberg. ;)
    That must be the Waterfordian in me :)

    I may be wrong but I thought 'bla' was used to refer to people from Waterford?

    Aggressive greeters. I had to bring 1 of our cats to the vet this morning, he's got an injured paw and is so sore the vet has to sedate him. So I'm waiting for a call from the vet to see how he is and when I can collect him.

    I was just walking home, lost in my own thoughts, and some old fella in his 60's, said 'good morning' to me. I've never seen him before and I just smiled and said 'good morning' back to him.

    I'd only gone about 2 steps when he shouts back aggressively 'I said good morning':mad: So I stopped and turned around, he'd stopped in the street and was waiting for a response. So I said 'so did I' and off he went. I'm really sorry I didn't tell him to fcuk off and die:mad::mad:

    He's obviously off his rocker. You get odd behaviour now and then and it's often only later you consider that the person may not be very well in the head.

    Men, men, men, men, manly men.... the theme tune to Two and A Half Men, trivial but yet so annoying. Once you hear it you can't get it out of your head.

    Bummers, by that I mean, those people of a slightly nervous disposition, maybe in a queue in front or behind you, bumming, you know, humming, but making a bum sound " Bum bum dah da, bum bum de bum" to themselves, and the more agitated they get, the faster the bumming gets.

    Not quite bumming (trying to keep a straight face as I type this and all :D), but it reminded me of a girl yesterday that was standing so close to me in the queue in McDonalds that her breasts were sticking into my back! I thought to turn round and ask her to step back a bit, but then I figured if her tits are digging into my shoulders, chances are she's a lot taller than I am and may not take too kindly to being told keep her tits to herself! :o

    Actually if I'm honest, there were a whole raft of perverted smart arse comments going round in my head, so I thought best just put up with the bra buster, all I wanted was a coffee black with none of that UHT "milk"...

    Obvious train of thought is obvious :p

    Pillows. Our pillows have gone in the middle again. So I haven't been sleeping that well this week. I've got to buy some more this week. It doesn't seem to matter what brand or how cheap/expensive they are, they still go in the middle. I ordered 4 online last time and they'd already gone in the middle when I took them out of the packaging:mad:

    It's a possibility, but the foam ones were already in 2 halves when I took them out of the packaging. I like to have 1 feather and 1 foam, that seems to be an impossible ask these days:D

    At self service check out in supermarket today, it's well laid out, space to queue and a sign at the entrance to the check out area 'please wait here until a check out is free'. I still managed to have someone standing on my heels while I was using the check out.
    I half hoped he would miss the next one to come free, seeing as he didn't wait at the top of the queue. Evil, that's me...

    :mad:Stuffing:mad:
    Is there a stronger word than hate??? Fcuking hate would have to do for now.
    It's a mouldy tasting bread substance and I have no idea why do people have the need to put in wraps, which makes it even worse to remove it than from anything else. There should be a warning sing label on food containing stuffing and coriander. Just because you hide the stuffing behind spinach it doesn't mean that I won't find it!!!:mad:

    Ah now, there's stuffing and then there's stuffing. Mrs. Goose got stuffing in M&S for Christmas there a couple of years ago, and it was more like meatloaf than anything else. Unbelievable tack. I made sammitches out of it a couple days later an' all.

    I think that is why Cap'n Czarcasm is wearing the eye patch, turned around too quickly while in the queue.......on a very cold day:D

    The stuffing my mum would make is very different from I've tasted here. The bread in only thrown in as a binding agent and there are lotsa other yummy ingredients in it and I think we had stuffing once maybe twice a year. This space filler I've experienced is just unpleasant to my taste buds. I gave it a go a few times and no joy. I have been successful in avoiding it for maybe 2 years now, until today :pac:

    The neighbours are in engaged in a spot of competitive diy with each other, again. So, so sick of the sound of power tools. Almost makes me want to drill stuff in protest. Speaking of power tools, I must harass, remind my husband that we need to get a new drill, the old one died.

    I could wait until one morning when they've got a dirty great hangover, then start drilling at about 6am, I'm evil me:D

    No no, if you really want to make an obnoxious noise what you want is an angle-grinder.

    I just ate a couple of squares of the chocolate with sea salt flakes bar that was with my Easter egg, it's disgusting. Something spawned by an evil, sick and twisted mind, the rest of it's going in the bin.

    Post it down to me... Sea salt chocolate is probably my favourite chocolate in the whole world. On par with salty caramels! :D

    Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt = drools
    It must be dark chocolate though, don't think I'd like milk chocolate with salt.
    But I'm not that crazy about milk chocolate anyway.

    I like dark chocolate and it probably would work with it, but not with the G&B milk chocolate. There's a heavier cocoa tang to their milk chocolate but it just doesn't work with the milk chocolate.
