I can't even cope with Winning Streak. Sometimes I'll come into the living room and my husband will be online and will be oblivious to it but I can feel my blood pressure rising and have to get to the remote as quickly as possible to turn it off. I'm cringing just thinking about the gobshi*tery of that programme.

Actually watched it for the first time in a decade, god they treat people like a moron.. Like wave to the camera you stupid fook.. Now pick a number between 1 and 6... That includes 2,3,4 and 5... Do they realise these people have enough intelligence to have made it 70 odd years on this planet?!?

I hate it when you get forgetful when tired. I haven't had much sleep this week and I was dashing around all day today. I had a shower and forgot to defuzz my legs. Now ordinarily that wouldn't be an issue but I've got an outpatient appointment tomorrow so I'm going to have to do them. I'm so weary now that I'm really trying to rally myself to get off the sofa and haul my butt up to the bathroom to sort out my legs.

So tired I ache but no chance of getting an early night as the next door neighbours lodger blasts the tv volume so much at night I can mute our tv and listen to it word for word:(

I had similar before, I had to get a (private) ultrasound and my phone alarm never went off, but when I woke myself I thought thank god i had 30mins to get there (it was local) got there and was asked to strip and realised my legs were like King Kong.. And I was wearing odd socks... The guy doing the scan didn't seem to phased

I was more morto about my legs than the test it's self

Get your GP to write to the consultant to try to speed things up. Sadly you have to be really pushy these days. It's bad enough waiting as an adult patient but it must be very frustrating for a parent.

That appointment was with a referral!

I also had a GP refuse to give me a referral letter for my daughter to get her hearing looked at. This was the scenario:
- Went to GP as the girl had a ear problem
- Just an inflammation, no infection
- Got the drops needed
- Asked for a referral so we can get her hearing tested, we always thought she had an issue with her hearing
- The GP said he would need to examine her first
- I say go ahead
- He wouldn't do it now and would need another appointment
- Why?
- No answer

The d*ckhead was just looking for a return visit to bleed more cash out of me.
Her hearing is grand though, she's just selective and a cheeky little git.

So yeah, GPs annoy me. And ladders in my tights :eek:

With ultrasounds all I focus on is not wetting myself. Then there's the mad dash to the loo when the scan is done:D

This is an annoyance of mine, I never get the Ker-Ringe of Irish version, general such reality TV programmes are Ker-Ringe regardless of which version your watching.

I agree,,,I thought the Irish Come Dine with Me episodes were on a par with all the other ones ,,as good /bad depending on your own opinion..I enjoyed them

Actually it's the Irish presenters as well its always someone you taught we got shot off or had fallin of the radar after a brief moment of fame only to be resurrected by rte or tv 3, that nun who won(or didn't) big brother is doing the bake off, the one who does the english version got her mate in to help present after her career bombed

Are the two that do the British version not a comedy double act?

Anna Nolan has be around RTÉ and TV3 for a while, she was producing a number of programmes with RTÉ and was behind camera for a few years before returning to do GIBO. I don't mind her as a presenter, she's not the worst.

Though you will be glad to hear Brian Dowling is going to be on TV3 with a new show! though its not a rip off of an English one!

Telephones. Not mobiles, land-line handsets and the whole clunky, 1970s-style rigmarole appertaining thereunto. What drives me particularly batsh1t is voicemail. I can't handle it. I can't handle it, do you hear me?? I just can't! Listening to some automated twit drone on for what seems like hours in between pressing Jaysis buttons to move between messages, and if you want to listen to a particular message again you have to clank and rattle through the whole tedious rigmarole again for another three days, like a Russian freight-train only not quite as elegant. I hate it! Ralf Hütter was right - telephones were obsolete around 1985. :mad:

Do you not have to do this on mobiles. Most annoying is the message stating the number that it came from. It always has to start with the international code!

I expect so. I don't use voicemail at all. If I did all my daily ration of patience, tolerance and not-randomly-firing-a-.50-cal-machine-gun-into-the-street would be gone by 10am.

If your GP is behaving like an asshole, can you not switch to a less assholey GP?

Can be easier said than done. Assholism is a common enough religion with them.

I was just outside the office building having a smoke there, and I saw a fourteen-year-old 2-litre Volvo estate with cracked leather seats, headlamp-wipers, PVC roof-rack and the most awful shade of kidney-infection-Champagne-gone-wrong paint, and I immediately thought to myself "That's a fine wagon, be the job for trucking oul' furniture and stuff". What's happening to me?? Am I turning into an antique dealer, or am I <GULP> OLD??? :eek::eek::eek:

The weather has gotten slightly nicer so we all get to experience one of my pet peeves: the person driving a car while trying to eat an icecream cone.

Maybe this is just a rural thing but since Monday i've been stuck behind 3 people who were driving slowly because they were eating an ****ing icecream cone in their car. I've also had a handful of car do the "swerve out of oncoming traffic at the last second because you've drifted across the white line" because the person driving was eating an ****ing icecream cone. Every single instance was someone with kids in the car with them :mad:

Here's a tip: don't buy a ****ing icecream cone if you plan to drive your car in the next few minutes. Better yet, don't buy one at all because you look like a gigantic spasticated man/woman-child eating the ****ing thing.

Jim, you're not really screwed until you've had this thought: "That's a grand bit of string, I'll hold on to that in case I need it in the future".
