The weather. It is snowing in Donegal right now and by all accounts the western half of the country will get a shedload of snow tonight and tomorrow. But likely very little for us in the east.
A road trip to a high mountain in the west may be called for.

I'm the opposite. I will be more than trivially annoyed if we get settling snow on the east coast. Vile stuff that leaves us stranded in the house. Dangerous roads, slipping hazard, cold and damp. No thanks.

I hate Snow. I'm still traumatised about 2010

Not really. Obviously in terms of health & fitness, a combination of both is ideal, but it's perfectly possible to attain and maintain a healthy weight through diet alone.

And by diet, I just mean what you eat, as opposed to being "on" a diet.

A friend of mine is in the process of becoming a nutritionist and also competes in bikini body sculpture type competitions. Most of her prep is diet, she can get her body to a very low (and healthy) body fat percentage, and then she has her fixed weights training process on top of that. The weight training is more to tone specific areas and increase definition. Ironically, her cardio is long distance walks....running would reduce muscle mass or something like that.

So what I'm getting at, diet has a massive influence.

Went to the gym today and did my usual 20 minutes of ab crunching followed by some cycling, rowing and shoulder presses.
Got home from the place buzzing with endorphins only to end up curled up in the foetal position on my bed as my stomach muscles staged a coup. Still a bit sore. So my TA is: Post-gym spasming muscles. I'm told "no pain, no gain" but yeeeesh...!

I live on an old estate, houses built when most people didn't have cars. It's narrow and hilly, and I live just before the road bends at the top of the estate. Now of course everyone has a car, and it's a complete cluster f**k. You are lucky if you don't have to pull in so someone else can get by when driving. With all the parked cars you are driving on the wrong side of the road almost all the way down off the estate. This TA 's me so much . Anyway, it's dark when I'm driving home earlier, and I've a stinking head cold, am cross and distracted. I have to reverse parallel park outside my house. There is a car up my hole all the way up the hill, and I know my brains will go to mush if I have someone waiting on me to park. There isn't an inch of room for them to pass me. I hate having an audience, and I swear since posting on this thread I am determined not to TA anyone by holding them up. So I drive around the block in order to drive back up my road again with no one up my arse, and park in comfort. I love where I live but the narrowness of the road is the one thing that bugs the crap out of me:(

In work today (English company) I had to ring a dept in the UK to arrange for a courier to come and pick something up in the morning. Snooty cow on the phone is calling out a reference to me and starts that "A for Alpha B for Bollix" crap, I can spell thank you very much I know what an A is !! This TA's me so much!!

Getting "stringy" bits in my vegetables, eg, stringy bits in asparagus or mangetouts! Turns me right off!

I could feel my blood pressure rising as I read this! I'm so happy it didn't turn out the way I feared - I really thought you were going to tell us that when you drove around and came back, that the idiot who'd been driving up your hole had taken the space. Can you imagine?!

We have one last kitten to re-home, and I don't want to let him go! When he sees me he runs to me and when I pick him up he snuggles into my neck and purrs. Sometimes when I hold him in my arms he lies on his back and stares up at me with his bright, green eyes and then bats my nose with his little paw with little pink toes. Yaaaar what am I supposed to do? It gets harder every day I spend with him How do women ever give their babies up for adoption? I can't even give up a f.ucking cat.

MsBubbles

OldNotWise Why can't you keep him ? He sounds utterly adorable.

Having naturally unruly curly hair. I always have to blowdry my hair straight and run the ghd over it but couldn't be bothered this morning so I look like a throwback from the 70s

We had a stray dog who had 4 puppies and it was the same thing. They came everywhere with me, even slept in a suitcase from when they were born, next to me. And then my brother gave them all away and I was absolutely devastated

Hunzo!

TA people sending cvs and cover letters for a job they don't even have qualification for, never mind experience. Why? Why would you apply for a job you don't even have qualifications for?

Mmm. 500GP champions in 1950 and 1957, weren't they. Wait, I'm thinking of Umberto Masetti and Libero Liberati. What the actual buggery are ye talking about?? :pac:

MsBubbles

LexieonRale I think some people are so anxious to get a job they will apply for anything regardless of suitability
