    I don't like the new Sky menu layout one little bit. For a minute there when I turned the tv on I thought I'd pushed the wrong button, sadly not.

    There is, but there is sweet FA of interest on it, a shower of happy, upbeat types. The sort who have nice clean buses serving their route, where you get a glass of champers and a free newspaper, after being guided to a seat of your choice, and all the passengers smell of Chanel.:D instead of canal:eek:

    I didn't know that there were any other types of buses. I've been taking the champers etc for granted. Now that is annoying me. :p

    I wish

    I wish I could afford 1st class all the time. We travelled 1st class return from York to London once. It was wonderful. The heat had caused problems on the tube on the return journey and I was hobbling on a crutch. We both felt frazzled beyond belief. But half an hour in 1st class solved that, didn't want to get off the train a couple of hours later when we got back to York. Air conditioning, reclining seats, proper cups and complimentary snacks. I wish I was rich:(

    when your with somebody and they just look on their phone rather than talk to you

    It's so hard to find a good orange. Newsagents and supermarkets are the worst. Over half the ones you get home are flavourless, stringy and past their prime.

    I should really throw that two day old, 3/4 cup of coffee in the bin, before someone.................BOLLOCKS!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,076 ✭✭✭✭Czarcasm


    When you buy something new and you want to get home and try it out -

    "No Czarcasm. There's shopping to be done first!" :mad:

    (I sat on my phone charger last night and snapped the wire... not a fat bastard, I swear :pac:)

    Sarcastic fcukers, met a mate in town -

    Me: "What has you all dolled up, you're looking fine!"

    Her: "I'm looking for a man obviously, I'm still looking..." *plunges knife deeper, and twist* :pac:

    And finally, lads in Tesco that think they're on Dale Winton's "Supermarket Sweep", I'm almost tempted to jam the crutch up his hole with his "Coming through! Coming through!" and I'm about five yards away from the fcuker! :mad:

    Driving home from a long day in work and not being able to Park in MY parking space/drive because some other fcuking car is parked in it and I don't know whose it is.!.
    I'm more than fcuking trivially annoyed!

    I'd say you would hate me :o

    I've been told i have an extremely dry/sarcastic sense of humour! I don't really think so, i just like to point out the obvious to people in a roundabout way and to poke fun at them without necessarily insulting them.

    First world problems!

    So I bought a packet of bobbins Friday after misplacing the pack I bought the previous month, only to find them today!!! For fudge sake!!! I literally pulled the place apart looking for them god damn bobbins and was down to my last scraggly one, when I gave in and bought another pack. And then I accidentally stumble across the pack I lost today!!! TO-FECKING-DAY!!! I bought the new pack on Friday. :mad:

    Ugh. :mad: Happens to me all the fecking time! I'm also an expert at 'hiding' things, the hiding spots are so good....I can't even find the stuff myself when I go looking for it......:mad:

    You sound like Father Jessup, the sarcastic priest from Fr. Ted. (Love that episode btw).

    Fr. Ted: Hello Fr. Jessup. Helping bishop Brennan then?
    Fr. Jessup: No, I'm up in space doing important work for NASA.

    Haha, I still think it's hilarious after seeing all the episodes 100+ times. :P

    You have a pùca too?
    Just ask them nicely where they've hidden whatever you're looking for. They Will reappear it for you :-)
    works for me every time.
    they're just playing with you :)

    Not sure how many of you are too familiar with facebook chat but i'll assume most of you are.

    Have to say i find the introduction of that BIG THUMBS UP feature to be extremely annoying! Basically when someone wants to end a conversation abruptly they just fob you off with a big fucking picture of a thumbs up! The absolute audacity! My rage levels literally go from calm as fuck to instant incredible hulk at the sight of it!

    Just say "ok" or "yeah cool" or whatever DON'T ****ING "THUMBS UP" ME YOU ABSOULTE DICKHEAD!!!!


    AAARRGGHH!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    It's been 2 years now since I deleted my fb account. I do miss it for keeping in touch but all in all, glad it's gone, I used to be a complete fb addict especially in college when we had assignment deadlines looming.

    Now, I'm addicted to Boards instead, yay! \o/ :pac:

    Yes, I love that episode, especially when Ted explains to Mrs Doyle that whatever Fr. Jessup says, he means the opposite,..which works out fine...until Fr.Jessup needs Mrs Doyle's help :D.

    Whooaa!Tread lightly my friend,the female of the species is a complex creature and they may not look favourably on your telling them to close their mouths.You may end up losing them,if they are good friends of yours is it worth jeopardising all that?

    Idiots who pass you out on a dangerous stretch of road then they pull in to a service station half a mile up the road.

    Replace bobbins with a mascara and you got me. Every bloody time! Except it takes weeks until I find the original one. Also it's more pricey than a pack of bobbins.

    It's really annoying when you annoy yourself because you can't really complain about it! :pac:

    Reminds me of the dope who overtook me this morning on a bend just as we were coming to almost a kilometre of straight road. 10 kms later still doing the same speed as when I was overtaken he was only about 300 yards ahead of me.

    Dodgy landlords. Spent most of last evening looking through emails and letters to/from the OH's friend and his LL, who is attempting to bully them into a rent increase mid lease. You want to see some of the stuff in the emails.

    "eh...there's a .....problem with our bank this week, my hubby will drop over on saturday morning to collect the rent in cash a week early ok?"

    "oh there's still a problem with the bank, we'll drop over later for the cash"

    And now the latest, "um...things are bit tight since the downturn, we are gonna have to increase your rent by 150 a month, but keep paying your 900 each month and we'll call over and collect the 150 each month ourselves"

    :confused: - and this is midway through a lease. I could feel my hands itching reading the stuff. Some of the properties are reg'd, some are not and there are also o/s issues with the accomm. that have yet to be fixed. Reading the emails the tenants sent in their not so perfect English just makes me even more annoyed because I feel they are being totally taken advantage of :(

    Also, when you put a spoon of coffee in a mug and then dont have time to actually add water and make coffee...but when you go back later, its a little bit wet anyway :(
