    TA that some people leave the taps on in the work bathroom. Wash their hands, leave the tap on and walk out.
    Would you do that at home? No! So why is it ok to waste water at work?
    Some people need shooting.

    Well, it's my theory (and I reserve the right to be wrong), that these people are actually insanely unhappy inside and that is why the feel the need to stave off the unhappiness by spewing hallmark rubbish. It's almost like they are terrified they might show a glimmer of sadness :p

    Exactly. I would further add that we Titties are so Tittied by the Trivial that puts the very "T" in Titty because our default state is a sort of Zen-like Void around which the maelstrom of the world whirls, and thus do we deeply resent gobshítery at any level.

    As opposed to these other clowns, deperately grasping at any little shred of perceived "happiness". I say we should invade that thread en masse and kick fcuk out of 'em.

    I was down to my last twenty this morning and no credit on my leap. I bought a return ticket and then my change of course came out in coins. TA that even though it's the same amount, I feel even poorer now because my remaining money is in coins :(

    What's wrong with clothes from Penneys?...(

    Well, the one in Cork is full of ridiculous, over-priced rags and the clothes aren't much better. Bang a' the campfire off the whole place like you wouldn't believe! :pac:

    We'd never win though. They will never admit they are secretly miserable. It's all part of the pretence. They don't even know they are miserable. To live the lie you have to believe it...

    Although I identify as a crank and my tolerance levels are low, I don't know if I would define myself as unhappy in the traditional sense. I certainly don't feel depressed or sad. I am content with the way I am.

    Yes. They're like the fat, "bubbly" girl at the party or nightclub who spends all night screeching about "Having fun! We're having great fun aren't we? AREN'T WE?? I'm stone mad I am! I'm mental craic!!" But she's dead inside, she's gone. Hey-ho, 'chagonna do? :pac:

    I dont for a minute think that all their stuff is nice, and there is a fair whack of "scrubber" clothes, as my dear Mammy would say, but you can pick up some little gems. Pencil jeans, black skinnny jeans etc. Cute little summer dresses that let's face it, you're not going to wear out. Occasionally I'll pick up a nice blouse too. Most of the time I get compliments and people don't believe the item is from Penneys. It's not about going in and drenching yourself in Primark, but if you have good taste and a sense of style (and this is something that a lot of Irish people lack), you know a gem when you see it, and you'll look far better than someone clattering around awkwardly in something that might have cost a pay packet but just doesn't sit right.

    We are not miserable! We are just intolerant and complainey and not afraid to say it!

    Similar thing at my local gym with people who just get out of the shower and leave it running.

    I hate to see resources being wasted especially when it takes an absolute minimum amount of effort to turn off a tap.

    I despair that I have to share my planet with such ignoramuses.

    I'm always sceptical of those photos. Look at us! We are young and we are POUTING! Yes that's right, pouting! I detest being tagged in other people's photos after nights out too. Why are you looking so blue in this one ONW? Well let me think.....hmmmm.... I was enjoying my nice pint and chatting to a good friend I hadn't seen for a while and then we were rudely interrupted and forced to all sit hunched up together and wait while some poor staff member had to take a photo of us and then someone started screeching, "wait! I forgot to fix my hair/I had my eyes closed/my mouth open!" and all the while all I could think about was my lovely pint going flat and the strain on my facial muscles as we all forced mania...

    When I am old and thinking back on the great/wild nights that I had....I can assure you there was no time or need for a camera at any of them :P (and in some cases, the lack of camera was a necessity!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭MsBubbles


    ONW If you ever see pouting photos of me I'm usually had a few lemonades and think it's hilarious to wind up the duckface brigade

    I was talking to a mate of mine who's gay before Christmas there - you'd never think it, aside from a couple of extremely dodgy shirts. Oh and he owns a hairdressing salon, although in fairness it is unisex, I was in getting a haircut. I asked him if he, as a gay man, had an Agenda. "I certainly have!" he said. "I'm going to close up here at about four, go into town to pay the utility bills and pick up a few things in the English market, and then collect my dad from the airport." I fcukan knew it, Bally bastards!!

    Jesus Jim, are you ok? Thats shocking, you would never be up to them.

    But I am curious. Your friend, who was gay before Christmas, is he ok now?:D

    Canteen have american style pancakes and maple syrup 'flavour' stuff to put on them.

    No thank you...

    I'll go home and make my own yummy crepe style pancakes, and will drown them in real maple syrup or cover them in lashing of nutella.

    No, in fact I think he's getting worse. He was in the pub the other night with one of these shirts, and it had an "Adam Ant" frilly yoke on the front. :pac:

    TA I'm coeliac on Pancake Tuesday. GF pancakes are just not the same :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    When I lived away from home, Tuesday was always the night that I went to the parents after work for a big feed and a few glasses of wine with the aul lad. Mam would get a real mammy dinner going, with all the trimmings and Dad would make the dessert. He's a dab hand at the pancakes too. Anyway, this one particular year I remember being really happy that Pancake Tuesday fell on a Tuesday so that I'd be there to enjoy his pancakes :o:o

    Lucky you. My lovely wife is out tonight so I am cooking pancakes on my own for the wee fella.

    Anyone have any good recipes for pancakes?


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

    My TA: people who do the washing-up doing the cutlery first and putting it in the bottom of the draining rack (which has slots for that to sit upright) then hide them with dishes on top. The knives etc don't dry properly and ya have to fight through bowls to find a spoon. Grrr.
