    My trivial annoyance is I read a Facebook post on one of the groups I'm a member of. A lady bought fish which had worms in it apparently. Stupidly had fish for dinner and threw it all up thinking of the post.

    OK nobody has told me to give her back so I'm keeping her :) and Thanks!

    You're welcome. She's lucky there's people like you around.

    Cod worms? Quite common I think, and harmless. Still disgusting though. Won't be having fish for a while now :P

    It was cod worms and I was just finished when I got sick. Not sure if I'll eat fish again.

    My body keeps trying to trick me into the ridiculous eating I was doing over Christmas. I'm not even hungry but I keep craving stuff, thankfully there's no veggie friendly junk food left in the house.

    I am well stocked still with chocolates.... the price war on Roses and Quality Street was irresistible...they were down to 3.95 the large tin...was so hungry in the night but too much pain to get out of bed and go downstairs....am climbing the steep stairs on hands and knees these days..

    I think the gardai do a fantastic job. I was seeing one for a while and I couldn't believe how much crap they put up with, (he was almost drowned in a canal) shouted at, verbally abused, dealing with the scum of the Earth with little to no appreciation. I remember one night we were out in town when some tracksuit wearing knackbag told him he was scum. We were at my neighbours wedding another day, everything was going great, we were sitting at the neighbour table, everyone got on really well the entire meal until more neighbours came and joined our table for the afters, and one of the drunk bitches tore into him about guards being nosey, being good for nothing, wouldn't fight real criminals, all sorts of nonsense. It really bugs me ever since hear people run them down

    Not for all the money in the world would I do that job.

    HavI think there is a divide between urban and ruring a horrific evening. Need my brothers help but unfortunately me and him took into it monday and haven't spoken since. Too stubborn to apologise but I fear there may be no other option.

    Oh grand in that kind of situation and I wholeheartedly agree....there seems to be a rural/ urban divide as before if they came out from a large town they were grand but the local lad was useless. In this situation it is different. Waiting now to see what develops... everyone here is still reeling after that sexual assault in the village.. the dogs liked them anyways!

    I went to Aldi and came back with a puppy. She was wandering around the shop with staff and security trying to get her out. She was soaking wet, dirty and shaking. She's really underweight too.

    I asked staff did they know who owned her and they said she's been in before for the heat and shelter. Then the owner comes in days later knowing she goes there. But they just put her outside again and she wanders around the carpark overnight and everything. They said the owner got her for Christmas and is a bit rough, I left my number to give to the owner if he comes in, but they said I should just keep her because she's going to starve/freeze to death otherwise.

    So now I have another dog, and I feel like a thief but I don't want to give her back :( she's so gentle and sweet!!

    Hope they fed her.... one of the dealership garages has an old black lab that apparently wandered in many years ago.. they have cared for it since.

    Friend meant to be bringing me to train station cause OH had to stay with his parents last night and I can't drive because of the fits. Friend is like yeah yeah don't worry I'll bring you, he's 15 mins late and my train leaves in like 4 minutes and were about 10 mins from station

    I hate that. I gave my friend a lift to work a few times, told him to be ready at a specific time and no go. He made us two late, and in turn, my girlfriend.

    Filth in a house! I called to a house last night and on entering the hall was met by filth. Not dusty or untidy but filthy. Floors stained from pet doings. Kitchen units piled with encrusted saucepans and you'd stick to the floor. Apologies all round as things got out of hand over Christmas! This dirt was older than Christmas. The householder is in their late 60s and has a daughter living next door.
    How can people live like this? The same person is well fit to keep the place clean.


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


    Scrameen I used to live in a house with 5 boys, and there was a guy I was knocking about with at the time who would absolutely refuse to get into the shower, because the house was so filthy, and the bathroom so manky. We had a hot tub that people rode in, vomitted in and washed the dog in. We had a jacuzzi that one housemate dumped horse **** in, pots that the landlord fed the dogs (on rare occasions) out of. Valium, bags of coke, weed littered all over the place, they never washed the floor but would "tidy up" after a house party. And by tidy up, I mean, move the bottles from inside to outside the back door.

    They also had an empty bottle of grey goose vodka that they filled up with water from the hot tub, so that some drunk strangers at the house parties would steal and drink. I'm not sure how they didn't all die from E. coli.

    I cleaned the oven when I lived there because you couldn't put anything into it it was so filthy, took me two days and then the landlord told me he didn't know you could clean ovens. Microwave plate had blue mould on it.

    This may be controversial and/or mean, but I am so sick of sitting beside fat people on the Luas who spill out of their seats and encroach into mine. I was pressed against the window for most of my journey home yesterday because some massive guy was too big to fit into the confines of the seat. If you don't fit the seat, stand, or else position yourself so that a huge proportion of your body is not touching off a stranger

    Have to be honest, Im not too keen on BIg Branded ' Luxury Goods'
    Logos, hate Logos.

    In particular,I hate those Godawful Brown Louis Vuitton bags. They look like old lino FSS, dont go with any outfit, ( unless it was brown or beige )

    Dont get me wrong I love luxury as mush as the next, ( cant afford it tho :( ), but I like it to whisper, rather than shout

    Id be damned me paying money to advertise some firms name.

    They should be paying me;):p

    Me too. Bought some DKNY stuff a few years back when I was going to Brazil (much to OH's dismay - "you're asking to be robbed!") but anyway, the stuff fell off. Rags is all they were :rolleyes: I hate designer goods that have the name in big letters too. Crass. Much better to have a sense of style. There's nothing worse than seeing idiots shuffling around with Uggs that have worn away at the heel :( I have a couple of designer things but because I know them to be good brands. Hunter wellies for example. Can't live without them! Got a shiny new pair for Christmas and mum looked at me like I had two heads when I wore them out walking with the dogs. "They're only new!" she said in dismay. But they are for wearing. They're not a fashion statement. I know someone who fell in love with them when she saw mine so she ran out and bought a pair. For what? She doesn't go hill-walking or walking in the forest/with dogs. Why would she need a pair of wellies? She teams them with little skirts and wears them to the city centre. Ffs :rolleyes: My wellies are at home caked in mud, because they are wellies :o Same with bags. Usually buy Fossil because they stand the test of time.

    I know a real tight fisted b.itch (the kind who drinks tap water when she's out and comes over for dinner bearing a can of coke for herself), who spends a fortune on designer stuff. She bough a LV bag a while ago and I (genuinely not trying to be b.itchy!) commented on how real looking it was and asked her which stall she got it on! oops :P

    Had a quick google there (who knew one could be so discerning about, ahem... wellies! :p), they do look a bit "posh totty" alroysh, I guess when something is designer quality, you just "know" :D

    ONW what do you think of hunter? I'm thinking about getting a pair because my other ones are knackered, but I'm a bit "eh" about spending that kind of money on them. Do they keep your feet warm or are they typical wellies that would have your feet frozen? My dad had a pair that were fleece lined inside, and I'm wondering if those were better? The pair I have now are really pretty but the heel cracked so when I wear them my feet are frozen.

    On designer stuff, I love Christian louboutin shoes. I have a couple of really special pairs of shoes, and I honestly have no problem spending that much on them because they are amazing. I don't smoke or go out much or have expensive hobbies so feck it. I think shoes are an art, and art is an investment. But, I don't discriminate. I have well over 100 pairs of heels, and I have 6 pairs of designers. The rest of them would be a mix of Aldo, office, barretts (RIP) and pennies, river island, and dune/faith. I get a lot of my shoes in sales.

    I don't care much for designer bags or bags in general. I don't have many handbags, maybe 20 at most. Any designer (Chanel (1) coach (2) juicy couture (cringe) Michael kors (2) ) I have been given as presents. I bought one juicy couture back in 09 but the rest were presents.

    I own no designer clothes. unless my hangover pants are designer, (Nike fat man pants). Most of my clothes are either asos river Island or pennies

    I love them. As designer goes, they're no prohibitively expensive. Around €130, although I think BT had them reduced before Christmas. What I love about them is that they are so lightweight while still being hard wearing. I had my last pair for 3 years. And I used them a lot in that time. Don't feel the cold in them at all. They're made a little bigger to allow for the addition of Hunter socks (cute little fleece/wool socks that turn down over the top of the boot). Though I've never had to wear special socks with them. The new ones I got have an an adjustable buckle on the back for differing calf sizes. I don't feel bad spending money on them. I went through so many cheap pairs before I decided to bite the bullet!

    What really gets me is the mould that flies out from their fat crevices when they phlump onto the seats. They should pay for every seat or part thereof that they occupy.

    That so describes it!

    It's even worse when they are the busy type. The guy yesterday was faffing around with bags, on his phone, taking coats on and off so not only was I being forced to give over 1/4 of my seat while squashed into the window, he was also flapping around and elbowing me every few minutes. I was seriously about to lose it but managed to stop myself. And then he made no effort whatsoever to move even a inch for me when I wanted by get off, so I was forced to make yet more bodily contact with him. I hope he chokes on his next XXXXL Big Mac meal:pac:

    He probably has big bones, or it's glandular or or or ....um.... :rolleyes::rolleyes: I saw what can only be described as a truck of a woman in Lidl last night pushing around a trolley full of tomatoes, low fat yoghurts and lettuce. The big self-righteous look on her face as I skurried past with a bottle of wine and a frozen dessert and a bumper pack of ham for my cats :P

    Love seeing that in supermarkets. They take out their lettuce, their low fat milk, their low low cheese, their weight watchers ready meals, their low fat yogurts, their multipack of walkers, two pringles, 2 litre of diet coke, and a partridge in a pear tree.

    I'm not one to be judging anyone's diet but at least mine is consistently ****
