    I love when Colin Farrell does it in the restaurant scene in "In Bruges"

    He pauses even though he should just hit the cnut and he repeats "Yes I am talking to you"
    Cracks me up every time!

    Really want to watch that now! :D

    Someone just called me on the work phone but there was a bad signal so they were shouting my name and sounding panicked, and as if they had been crying. I automatically thought it was a family member and nearly died of fright thinking about what had happened. Turns out it wasn't a family member. f.uckers :( Put the heart crossways in me. Once I know my fanily are ok I dont care about the rest. I feel a few palpitations now...

    Thank you! For the kindness... sigh.... Well at least the range lit first time; it would not have dared do else the language I was using.. I keep large stones in the side oven and they make great foot heaters ...

    That pisses me off aswell, I have dealt with chronic asthma and no one has ever helped. I had a fella from the Cancer Society knock yesterday and when I didn't give he asked how would I like to deal with cancer. I went through him because I lost my father to cancer not so long ago and no one helped.

    The guy earlier mumbled something like "help the children"...WTF, it might as well "help people without heads" or "Can you give a little something for dozey bastards"

    People looking for directions who just make statements, like "Ulster Bank"
    I like to pretend this is a game of who can name the most banks, and will respond with "AIB", now it's your turn again.."

    Mate of mine does something similar, i.e. he gets confused with the status update and search bar. He regularly posts status updates that are the first three letters of his girlfriend's name :pac:

    I HATE that! I am quiet around people I don't know very well and those whom I don't like.

    With my friends, classmates, certain co-workers, certain family members, I can be the life and soul of the party.

    If I'm quiet around you, it's because I've no

    interest in becoming your friend.

    Are you me, haha!! I'm the very same, very quiet when I don't know/like someone. Always believe if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all;). Yet once I know you well, I come out of my shell. It was always pointed out how quiet I was as a child, it only made me self conscious. Quieter, too. I have no time for loud mouths whatsoever, a big trivial annoyance of mine. Banging on , just to hear the sound of their own voice.

    'How would you like to deal with Cancer?'

    Cant believe someone would dare say such a thing :(

    That is a dirty low down sales tactic if ever I heard one.
    Id be calling he Charity and bolloxing them out of it.

    He is not the first one to say something like that. They all get annoyed when you wont give money or information at the door and I don't! Usually I ignore anything they say but he just pissed me off.

    Whenever I'm asked to support The Cancer Society, I always get an evil urge to say, "Well, I donated my Dad, and you nearly got my Mum, and I really don't intend giving anymore".
    That reminds me , we were walking through town years ago, and someone asked us to support something or other, and himself clapped very loudly and cheered. Was mortified!

    HaHa that's actually the best way to deal with them, next time one comes to the door for support I think I'll cheer and clap!

    DO NOT get me started on the asthma society!!
    I've had asthma since I was a baby, I have so many memories of being in an ambulance when I was younger being rushed to hospital and spending weeks at a time in there.
    I have chronic asthma now and one of my inhalers ranges in price from €75 - €125 depending on where you buy it (Boots are cheapest but they don't always have the specific one I use :( )
    I have contacted the Asthma Society so many times about various different things, mainly the price of medication and it's always the same bull****, contact your local political representative.

    They were fundraising in the carpark at Electric Picnic last year and at the extrance to Oxegen a few years ago - big mistake.

    I think the point is they collect but they don't actually help the sufferers.
