There are two ways at craft fairs and markets to ensure you get a customer.. one is to try to go to the loo and the other is to put food in your mouth.. Never fails!

It's the same as making a bus come - light a cigarette!

Almost forgot, double width prams in supermarkets. This morning I was in Dunnes, never fun, but worse this time of year since there's less room in the aisles with all the additional displays in the middle of the aisles. There I was pushing my trolley and smiling through gritted teeth at other shoppers in the same predicament, when I came across a bint with one of those 3 wheeled sporty prams shopping with her mother. Not content to park the thing arseways across the top of the aisle, her mother had to put the trolley next to the pram so nobody else could get up or down the aisle.:mad: I politely(honest), said excuse me and you'd swear by the insulted look on their faces that I'd asked if she knew who the father of the child was.:D

Either her or her sisters frequent every supermarket aisle in Ireland:mad: Drives me insane!Ignorant muppets..
Also either a bird got the runs or someone got sick on the side of my car this morn in the carpark...it will be the first thing Mr Colser spots when he gets home...my ears are blocked already:rolleyes::D

I was always convinced it was Kris Krindle. Trivially annoyed that I've been spelling it wrong all this time.

Yeah just looked that up, comes from Austria/Germany so makes sense that it has Ks and would be KINDL. But sure there you go.

I think everyone just got so used to the name Kindle since the E readers have been so popular and not many people noticed the difference between Kindle and Kringle.:)

It's both according to wiki. Dont worry

well... kindle, not krindle


Deriving from the Christian tradition, the ritual is known as Secret Santa in the United States and the United Kingdom; as Kris Kringle or Kris Kindle (Christkindl) in Ireland

Use the candle to light the firelighter directly?

Fire is already set. Flame has to be applied through the grill of the grate front. I considered disassembling the fire to get a firefighter out and them building around it but the piece of paper seemed easier.

We had to call them before when one of our electric storage heaters spontaneously combusted, sending sparks and flames everywhere. When the fire went out I called back and said they were no longer needed but their policy is once the call is placed they have to follow up. Great fun standing in shorts and vest in the hall as 4 burly guys come in with uniforms and big tools and stuff. Slept sound that night

Thankfully never had to call them as they would never find me up here. The first time I had to call an ambulance they got lost..... heard one say to the other they would have to get the Gardai to guide them and I refrained from telling them that the local Garda was on a three week course at Templemore...had to guide them in on the phone:rolleyes:

Most people hate the Kris Kringle thing, at this point companies should just donate the money to a local charity and be done with it. I think people would be happier to donate the cash instead of having to trudge around trying to find a gift for someone that they don't really know and probably don't even like. Everyone's a winner then.:D

I suggested this last year and was told no "because everybody likes to get a present". Yes, we do, but I would rather get presents from someone who actually wants to get me one, not someone who has been forced to buy me one.

I'm getting lip fillers for Christmas. I'm going to start off with a 1/2 ml because I have a little mouth. The chatterbox is telling me how I should go for the full ml cause that's what she gets as its "a waste" bothering with anything less. I'm sorry if I don't take advice from a girl with a my little pony tattoo.

Seems a bit judgemental. Sure maybe others wouldn't take advice from folk with body enhancements.

I'm not going to take advice on what looks ridiculous from someone who's got a my little pony tattooed on herself is all I'm saying.

When someone annoys you to the point, where you want to pull all their f00cking teeth out one by one.

The steps on the ha'penny bridge. Too wide to comfortably stride up them coz im a short arse so I end up having to do little steps every now and again which inevitably leads to me nearly breaking my neck..the struggle, its real.

Ok, fair enough. That makes sense!

A TA for me: Staff in department stores (as an e.g) blabbering out loud and in front of customers about how hammered they got the night before and how much they drank and who they "got off with"! I find it very unprofessional, even more so when one of the store manager's is well in the thick of said conversation!

Hop on the bus early morning or after a long day and every second seat has some ignorant ballix either

a) sitting on outside seat with bags parked beside window
b) window seat with bags taking up outside seat.

If bus is full I have zero problem picking up their **** and dumping it on their lap.
Not paying two tickets? Grand, you have one seat

End of.
