    Currently window shopping for next year's Comic Con costume and I have locked down the dress, wig and jewelary needed to make a somewhat decent stab at Cersei Lannister but one little detail is giving me grief. For the life of me, I cannot find a decent leather underbust corset or waist-cincher. Something like this would be perfect but alas, I am not a stick insect. :( I've tried eBay and the like but no luck. It's doing my head in.

    Eisy ages backwards, like Mork. He's actually 107.

    Having what I think are fits, or maybe the start of a bigger fit, I'm not really sure but I feel terrible so being sick and not understanding it is quite annoying

    That doesn't sound too healthy. Are you alright, girlie??

    When someone makes a deaf joke online and someone replies 'what?'

    Not only is it unoriginal, it makes no sense because the joke is typed, not spoken.

    Very trivial indeed.

    Older adults reactions to not knowing people from a hundred years ago. I had a lady today who was talking about Mary Robinson and her getting her hair done. I thought she was talking about a client who
    I was supposed to know, so I explain I don't know Mary Robinson and your ones face fell and asked me how did I not know about the best president the country ever had.


    Come on missus, she was only 2 presidents ago. I'm guessing that you're young, but even if you are 17, she was a president in your day. She was Irelands princess di, not knowing about her is kindov a big deal.

    Trivial (or not) things that annoy me - people being oblivious to the history of Ireland, OUR history.

    No, Brian O'Driscoll is Ireland's Princess Di (came to this conclusion after a conversation with an English guy about O'Driscoll's status in Ireland).

    I'm not that young at all, and I'm not a complete thick, I know that little dude is our president now and I know Mary mc aleese was president too but I have absolutely no idea who was before that, and to be honest id rather focus on the future than worrying about who lived next to the zoo 30 years ago.

    In all honest I don't even remember her being president....I don't even remember mcaleese getting elected...she just always seemed to be there being honest....and I'm old enough like

    Being honest...I don't even remember that princess di wan being alive...just never featured/cared about when I was growing up

    TA when it's the wrong time for the food you'd like. I woke up thinking I'd love a bowl of soup. I'd still like soup but it's not even 11 yet.

    My electric shower, the difference between not quite hot enough and scalding is only a couple of mm on the dial

    I remember it clearly. The Newcastle United vs Liverpool game, the next one after that epic 4-3 match, was called off because of her death. I was annoyed as f*ck over that as the neighbours got Sky in and I was dying to watch it. I was too young to understand the severity of what had happened.

    I remember when princess Diana died, it was on a Sunday and I think offaly were playing in an all ireland (or maybe it was the semi final), it was a big match anyway. The day before we started back to school. I don't think I even knew who she was til that.

    I remember her death as I'd just come out of hospital after ovarian surgery and couldn't sleep because of pain, so I got up during the night to watch some tv the night it happened. I couldn't believe she was dead, never liked her though, she always seemed very manipulative.

    I think U2 played Lansdown Rd the night she died. I was at the concert and remember her pictures being up at on the big screens. Good gig.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭zef


    Yeah, she ruined a trip to London for me and the ex by being buried that Saturday. We'd gotten cheap quinnsworth flight deals (rem them?) and everywhere was in mourning, all the shops on Oxford St. shut for a Saturday afternoon.

    I was on a casino floor in Vegas, gambling. Normally outside news wouldnt come in to a casino, but this news spread from table to table.

    I remember being quite upset, to be honest, I really felt for her young boys, being thrust under such a sombre spotligt

    You might have better luck here getting that corset.

    The old queen mum ruined a trip to Whitby for us with her funeral, everything was shut but the pubs. We were living in York but went to Whitby for a few days, ironically the day of the queen mums funeral we were sitting in a pub called the Duke of York.:D

    In every waiting room, there is always someone with an annoying cough. And someone else who seems intent on clearing their sinuses by sniffling from what can only be described as the throat upwards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Other trivial annoyance for today, the shower is playing up. I thought Mr Pumpkinseeds had a tap running when I was in the shower, it went from hot to freezing cold and back again a few times and he wasn't running a tap. He said the same thing happened when he was in the shower yesterday and it happened when he had a shower after me today. Another fricking expense now to call out someone to service the shower.:(

    Cheers for the link, bodhrandude, but the biggest size on that site is a UK 18. I'm a 22. :/ Nonetheless, that will soon change. I've decided to set myself just one resolution for the new year- to join a gym and shift some of this damn weight.

    Assholes out on our land shooting. Even overlooking the fact they're tresspassing, anything living on or flying over our land is entitled to do so in peace, without thugs out with guns and dogs torturing them. 3 lads out with guns and dogs this afternoon, I told them to get off the land but I don't know if they did or not, they were kind of sneery.

    Count your blessings you didn't live there. I was living in London at the time and it was fascinating to see such an emotionally repressed nation, lose control and go OTT for that week.

    I could understand if folks were a little hazy on just who the hell Paddy Hillery was, but we've only had two female Presidents in the history of the State, the first of whom really broke the mould in giving voice to a more modern and progressive Ireland - receiving a huge amount of coverage both at home and across the world in the process.

    Even for those with little or no interest in politics, human rights or the law, you'd have to have been virtually comatose for a prolonged period of time not to have picked up on Robinson's term in office, to even some small degree.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I was 1 when she was elected. I doubt it was a defining moment in my life.

    My annoyance is laying in bed, warm, when he comes home and starts ringing the doorbell to be let in, when there's a spare key behind the massive flower pot by the door, and a key on his bunch of car keys.

    Tom don't be hating on me being an 80s child!
