When people feel the need to tell you look like someone "famous". Because I happen to maybe share the same hair colour. The pub I usually go to, it's either dita von teese or imelda maye. I'm no oil painting but I certainly don't look like either of those. And each time someone says it, I smile and pretend I haven't already heard it. Simpletons.

The Diabolical Monocle

in a work/study/group setting - when you go out for some reason and then when you're coming back down the corridor one of the group you dont know or just kinda know is walking up the corridor toward you - its always so awkward.

Greetings and happy New Year to you all. After a quiet, pleasant Christmas filled with over-indulgence of all kinds, this morning's Trivial Annoyance is the whole business of facing into yet another year of irritating bloody nonsense. Scandal, skullduggery and malevolent incompetence proceeds apace in Ireland. Further afield, the police are apparently on a go-slow in New York, cutting out, among other things, "unnecessary arrests" and begging the question, what were they doing hitherto?

Economically, the Greeks are even more fúcked than we had previously supposed and are setting fire to stuff once more. The Russians are fúcked largely because of the oil situation but also because Mr. Putin is an incorrigible arsehole.

The Germans are about to be fúcked. Apparently they've decided that controlling monetary policy in such a way as to fúck most of the surrounding economies has been working so well for the last seven years or so that they're going to do it to themselves. It's all to do with this latest Holy Grail of theirs, i.e. zero percent inflation.

Now, I'm no economist, but it seems to me that if an economy is presenting with zero percent inflation then it isn't doing anything useful, i.e. it is dead, it is horlicksed, it is an ex-parrot. There are microeconomies in certain uninhabited parts of Montana, for example, that show near-zero percent inflation, and this doesn't necessarily translate into the kind of productivity and prosperity on the ground, as 'twere, that some august texts would have one believe.

So I'll be keeping one eye on our Temeritous Teutonic Titans, that is if I can find enough to eat for the duration of the year.

Last day of Holidays so I'm trying my hardest to not go back to bed, otherwise I'll be awake all night and like a demon tomorrow morning:(

First day back in work and people keep wishing me a happy New Year. Stop it!

A lot of them want to shake my hand as they do this. STOP IT!

Seeing the unread emails figure in Outlook spiral into three figures because you dared to take a long Christmas break while your Canadian colleagues didn't. Need more coffee.

Don't panic, most of it will be machine-generated spew. Especially if they're Canadians, eh!

Can't believe someone got here before me I despise this show with every fibre of my being. Watching some kind of catch up show last night (not by choice but it was on in the room with all the drink and quality street) and I'm sitting there thinking is it just me or did most of them get fat again? Quelle surprise... :rolleyes: And then they start bleating on about the meaning of life, having dreams and goals, being fulfilled and happy and looking forward to the future? I said to my less than impressed mother, "they actually got all that from shutting their pie holes??" :P It's not that big a deal really, it's just food. Eat less and you'll lose weight.

That programme annoys me so much that I'm even annoyed that you mentioned it here.

I'm annoyed by both the show and it's followers. Do people not realise they are living in a binge and purge cycle? Get fat at Christmas. Starve themselves for the new year. Get fat again at Easter. Try to slim into a "beach body". Fail. Get fat. Try to lose it for Christmas. Lose a bit. Get fat again at Christmas. A little bit of moderation ALL year would be far more beneficial. Oh and another TA is the idea that you are supposed to find one fat f.ucker the same as yourself and follow them. Kind of like when the spice girls were popular and you had to identify with whichever one was closest to you.

It's contrived rubbish, more to do with whoever has the biggest sob story than wanting to lose weight :mad:

Yes. Especially if you tune in halfway through and you hear people talking about big achievements in their lives. Is this "This is Your Life?" one wonders. No, it's just a program cashing in on our voyeuristic nature as we watch people struggle with what is, at the end of the day, simply a complete lack of self-control.

When I worked in retail, people approaching the counter on their phones did my head in. It got to the stage where I wouldn't start their order until they got off their phone. So rude

I thought finding selfies of people on my Facebook page was bad. Today it got worse, there was a photo of someone taking a photo of someone taking a selfie. Now, this person posts selfies at least once a day every day. She's late 40's, shaped like an underweight teenage boy and single and not remotely attractive, I almost feel like I should post 'eat something' on her timeline when she starts ranting on about her latest gym craze or bootcamp.:mad:

Both drive me mad. There are some customers who have a way of counting out change that is really patronising or something. As if they are giving a penny to a beggar. The way they pick it out of their wallet and pplace it on the counter and then look expectantly at the cashier...

I sometimes go to a meeting for a few hours and come back to emails in the 3 figure catagory.

This is similar to what I came to complain about.

Speed bumps on a bicycle path at thing the bottom of a hill, first thing you hit when you start going up it?!? There not even to slow the downhilllers as the bicycle traffic in that direction is on the other side of the road. Also, they are they are the same colour as the road and not indicated in any way. First I knew of them I was about 3 foot up in the air, I thought ET has finally come for me

IMO Kim Kardashian is an abomination, Frankensteins monster, how anyone in their right mind could find that huge fat ass attractive, is beyond me.

Curvy is one thing, having bags of potatoes inserted in your butt cheeks is a completely different matter.

On the bright side, she doesn't need any flotation devices should she find herself in a pickle mid-air...

Imagine how I feel! I keep trying to put it out of my mind and then every so often a little voice in my head keeps saying, "imagine ONW, just imagine how wAnderful this will be!" - for some reason the little voice is also a whimsical, theatrical fag- optimistic little fecker :P

Trying to eat healthy, but everyone (including myself in fairness) has brought in a load of 'orphaned' boxes of sweets and biscuits into the office in order to share the guilt.

ah well, another day or two of gorging...

Gather them all up and keep them under your desk and when their new year resolution will cracks (which it inevitably will after about two weeks), sell them back to the self-righteous little f.uckers. Then you get to make a profit and watch them become their usual weak, pie hole stuffing selves :pac:
