That stretch of the neighbourhood is tricky, often you'll get boy racers driving too fast, and it winds around a bit. It just shocked my since you don't really see that kind of thing these days.

I'd be more annoyed about the boy racers, but yeah seems like something my brothers would have done with our uncle back in the 80s.

Yeah, I did that with my dad back in the day when I was ten of twelve, on virtually deserted rural roads. It's not really a good idea in suburban areas these days.

Well its obviously not a good idea. the fact the dad didn't have his hands on the wheel wouldn't worry me, but other cars crashing into it would.

White boots should never be worn, ever. I've never seen a nice pair.

Ironically enough the boy racers are often dads whose kids would be out playing in the neighbourhood.

Mothers Day. Now don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy to buy my mum something for Mothers day, nothing wrong with showing a bit of appreciation. I had planned on some nice flowers and a bottle of her favourite wine. Sorted, or so I thought until she dropped the hint into a casual conversation, that she was running low on her Chanel No5. Fcuks sake, best part of 100 euro.:eek: More fool me, I bought it.:(

Did ya try perfumeclick.ie ??? I get my aftershave on it.

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that next time. As much as I love my mother, she's not backward about coming forward when she wants something.:)

The cost of keeping kids entertained. I took my little cousin cause her mam had an appointment. We went for ice cream, which she wouldn't eat, instead choosing to suck the crayons the waitress gave her.
Then we went into the shopping centre, she wanted a balloon. 5.50, then a lollipop, then a pink handbag, and green fairy wings and a wand. Then wanted a go on those kid cars, 2 euro a pop and I couldn't get her off it, until I gave her another euro to throw into the fountain and make a wish. I picked her up and practically ran with her incase something else caught her eye. And she got my white skirt filthy.

I'm not cut out for this kid business at all.

Ya won't get any of that malarkey with Vivienne!

Sounds like that kid had you wrapped around her little finger. Sucker!

Ok lads I'm fuming. One of the biggest junkies knocks on the parents door for money for a 'run' they're doing!
the father walks away to get money leaving them at the door with it wide open! I'm standing in the background making sure they know I'm there.
He comes back gives them money and starts chatting.
They're no more doing a run than the man in the moon!!!!!!

I try to say how serious it is. How vulnerable they are leaving themselves. Turns into a heated row and I'm the one in the wrong for 'tellin them what to do in their own house! '

The transition from your parents protecting you to you protecting them is not an easy one. My own mum's attitude to personal security would keep me awake at night but there is not much I can do, short of moving 200km to be with her.

Ah it's so frustrating. .I see the heads every day with the job. the parents live in an 'old' street and as the houses have been emptying, the council are putting in new people.
I'm starting to see a lot of them up around the area now. It's a completely different street now.

My neighbour is banging doors all night every night and he woke me up this morning at 5 am. He was doing this all through my degree and I had to complain about four times before he stopped but he's started again. I'm starting a second job and I don't think I can handle it. He is a waster who wouldn't know what it was to have a job or know that other people have to do stuff rather than listening to him make noise all night. I am seriously angry about it. Then he goes all shifty when he sees me, where's the axe is all I can say cos I feel female hormonal rage about to take place.

It can be scary alright. My town used to be a very safe place, not so much anymore. Some of the stuff that's happened in the town over the past few years is scary and I'm always warning my dad not to go walking in isolated areas alone. He walks with a stick and it makes him vulnerable, of course he doesn't take the slightest bit of notice of my warnings.

Maybe we could team up. I could slaughter your neighbour and you could slaughter mine, it would solve a lot of problems and might be very therapeutic.:D

Something that really annoyed me yesterday was the seeming lack of thought that our President put into International Womens Day. It would have been the perfect time to acknowledge and celebrate the work and achivements of Irish women in the Arts, Science and Technology, Medicine, Law, Literature etc. What he did was gather 100 young Wan's from sport and make an issue of the fact that they don't get the same treatment as their male counterparts. Fcuks sake, it just highlights what a tool the guy is.

Compliments from the lmii, he'd be better off keeping his mouth shut.

"Well, you're not an eyesore."

That's nice. Why would you bother saying anything if that's what comes out of your mouth?

I remember the days when 'post' meant something through the letterbox. Oh gone be the days begorra when all of this was just fields.

He's playing you for real. Pretend you are wearing headphones, even if you aren't.

So much rage this morning. Lmii was bringing me to the train station like he always does. We come out of our estate onto the main road and there's a council van and some prick with a shovel. We're driving up and there's a car in front stopped chatting to the guy hanging out of the van. Next thing just as we were about to pass, he sticks his hand out the window as if to flag us down, and lmii stops. "ah jaysus lmii, how are you? Haven't seen you in ages!" Wtf? Flagging someone down for a chat??

They're tearing this ****hole of a town asunder. Simpletons at temp traffic lights who don't stop when the light goes red, so the other end has turned green and there is still a stream of self entitled c-words coming towards you.

The reprobate in the car in front of us, driving it like she stole it, no indicators because who needs to know her business sure. Swings in without warning, at the school and it was like a clown car, a never ending line of brats emerging. If she spent as much time learning to drive as she did with her legs in the air, it'd be more in her line.

Got on the train. Two old ladies got on. Think they could get seats? Plenty of seats taken up by aul ones asleep with bags. Anyway, I woke up two, I wasn't even nice to them. "Move your bag please". One looked like I pissed in her cornflakes, the other one seemed to be a bit embarrassed.

Having to refer to something that happened in 1900 - 1999 as being twentieth century.
The mental adjustment required to work out what constituted a 16th century event, (is it 15 something or 17 something?) just does my head in.
How did this stupid convention gain traction?
