    Not so trivial annoyances for today. We spent 137 euro on vet treatment for one of our cats today and I don't regret or begrudge a single cent of it. The issue with the tv seems to be a Sky problem that looks like we may have to switch scart leads, lose the HD but still pay the full amount monthly and to top if off, the fcuking kettle just packed up. What makes it worse is that I was going to buy a cheap kettle in Lidl the other day for 20 quid but they were sold out.:(:mad:

    Just woken up after a horrible dream where my head was cut off by a jack-knifing car which also killed Rishi and Rakesh from Emmerdale.

    In said dream, I became hysterical and looked down at my shoes which were filled with blood and my other half told me to fix myself up in the bathroom.

    Now....can I go back asleep?

    I know I am always complaining about the weather. But six degrees outside this morning. It is June in a couple of days.
    Six degrees?

    There are people wearing scarfs and gloves waiting for the train still at this time of year. It's very cold, still need a blast of heating the odd night too.

    Just checking now, real feel temperature is currently 2 degrees outside because of the 20kph north westerly wind blowing. 2 bleeding degrees and it's almost June.

    My car and my lack of car knowledge.
    The blower in my car was not heating up fast for the past couple of months. The car has felt a bit sluggish, and recently after stopping after a bit of a jaunt, the engine fan kept blowing and turning off the car. Then liquid started dripping from the bottom....not oil.
    So I got the bright idea to slap in some coolant given that the fan was still going after stopping the engine.
    Car is driving now like it has just drove off the showroom floor.

    Need to learn more about cars.

    I'm also not liking my constant hunger lately. Running alot, and started cycling to work again. It feels like when I'm not doing any of that, I'm eating. I've had breakfast about an hour ago, and I'm f*cking hungry already.

    A person walking slowly in a supermarket isle with only themselves and a shopping basket, yet managing to take up the entire width of the isle, not allowing for the overtake...

    bear in mind these shopping isles would comfortably fit 3 trollies going along side by side.. but 1 numpty and his basket: nothing is getting past.

    The amount of Denis O'brien related threads currently in AH......FFS!!!!!! :mad:

    People oversharing boring sh*t on Facebook. Okay, so you're emotional about buying your first house, but you've been posting about it almost every day for THREE MONTHS. Jesus Christ, give it a ****ing rest.

    Hairdressers not washing the shampoo properly out of your hair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭Kev W


    People who end a post with "rant over".

    You don't need to tell us. We won't get confused when the words stop.

    Those people can burn in the same hell as people who use "methinks".

    People who flash their cash on purpose. Some lad just bought something off me there (10.99) The lad whips out about 400 in 50 notes and fans them out like he is playing a game of poker with his mates, then puts them back in his pocket, then takes them back out again and pays for said item. OK we get it you're rich...

    I reckon people who do things like that are not rich, and are not used to having cash. he probably just sold his prize car.

    Like the case in the paper last week where a guy was sent to prison for killing a homeless guy and stealing a lot of money from him (homeless guy had thousands). One of the first things the idiot does is buys new clothes and a 600 euro bicycle:mad:

    Colser beat me to it

    €400 makes you rich these day. Things are bad.

    I'd say it more of a case wanting to look like they have a few quid than necessarily having it. If anything, carry large amounts of cash would be unbecoming of a 'rich' person.

    Maybe it's a backlog of Dole money that he's been waiting to get a claim processed. :D

    Those days when you just wanna shout out 'Son of a fcuking bitch':mad: I'd be ripped off for a new kettle locally so I took 2 buses to get a new one in Limerick. Get home, pounding headache, I'd had no coffee and no fizzy happy in a glass(soluble solpadene). Plugged in new kettle and nothing happens:confused: Switch kettle to other socket in the double socket and hey presto the kettle works. Not the kettle that was broken it was the frigging socket. I'm tired and hacked off and my head is pounding. *Shakes fist at piss taking sky wizard.

    Saying goodbye again. My friend from Essex came to visit this week but she went home this morning.

    So I said goodbye to my sister yesterday morning and to my friend this morning. Horrible feeling.

    Also I always feel ill when I get to Dublin airport. Reminds me of all of the times I had to go back to London and didn't want to!

    I don't mind returning to the continent but every time I go home for a visit and have to say good bye to my father it makes me a bit sad.

    Started cycling to work again about 3 weeks ago. In and out, it's about 20km a day. Not that much on a bike, but the return trip is all uphill. When I used to commute on the bike, I had a rule that I would always push as hard as I could on the way home, so that I got faster and fitter every week. It worked.

    Now, after a ~18 month break, I'm doing the same thing but the legs aren't able for it. They're like jelly today, I feel like one of those inflatable tube men walking around the building.

    It annoys me that I ever stopped and let my fitness decline. It also annoys me that fitness declines and doesn't just stay for ever.

    It sounds like one of those mock nicknames that villagers would give to someone with elephantiasis.
