    People never think that left handed people have to push across the page with the pen, as opposed to pulling it. That's why most left handed people I know(including me) have worse writing than righties. :o

    The Arabs got it right. Write from the right of the page to the left.

    Right, now the Nurofen have worn off and my migraine is back.
    This is unreal.
    Looks like a trip to the doc is on the cards, but knowing my luck, if I see him tomorrow, my headache will magically disappear as soon as I get to the surgery.

    Sorry about your headaches, sounds terrible.

    But how would the doctor KNOW that your headache is gone. Just pretend it's still there and get a HUMUNGOUS script for headache blasting drugs. No questions at the chemist!

    The questions for codeine containing tabs are asked in case the Pharmaceutical Society or whatever their current moniker is, aren't "mystery shopping" at the chemist shop. One of the rules on restricting codeine is that the pharmacist should ask all these questions, designed and overseen by the Pharma Soc. QED.

    A former colleague used to boast of going uuupp North and going to every chemist in Belfast for a pack in each one. No questions asked there according to her, but one pack per person only. She was mad as a brush, and was surely addicted. But a nice girl all the same.

    Adults saying 'Day day' to kids and then repeating ad infinitum. What sort of a repsonse are you expecting to get from day day seriously?

    So trivial, but here goes.

    My Mam loves corned beef from the tin. So I buy some. She comes round, the key that wraps around the tin breaks after a few turns. WTF do I do now?

    So, have to get the tin opener at it. Break my nail, and curse for Ireland.

    Why not have an opener like a ring pull thing. Oh no, that would be far too fekkin easy.

    But I have to say, corned beef from the tin is ridiculously addictive. So nice, and I'm glad for my Mam that I got her sambos sorted that she loves. Mammies.

    From working on a Deli the corned beef always comes in one of those key tins so u can just plop the whole block out, If it was a ring pull the meat would get caught in the lip of the tin and ya'd have to scoop it out like dog food. Yum Yum!

    People being interviewed on radio etc when answering their question beginning with the word "So". Very prominent especially when business people being interviewed. Unbelievable..

    Er, I've no idea. I've never had a cramp in my vagina.
    But period pains are usually very bad belly cramps.
    They can be debilitating and ibuprofen does well in reducing the inflammation causing the pain.

    Having said that, Mefenamic acid-"Ponstan"-are even better for period pains and it's what a lot of women get. Only available from the doctor.
    I wouldn't use Ponstan for migraines.

    Well I buy generic brand ibuprofen. Nice to know period paid involves stomach cramps, not vaginal cramps though

    I feel your pain, ate a doughnut today and was then tempted to eat a massive chocolate bar but managed to find some sort of willpower not to. My partner found me in the kitchen sniffing another doughnut so she took it away from me :pac:

    When you ask someone to do something in a specific way because there is a very specific and important reason that they do it that way.
    You explain it very simply and clearly and they acknowledge that they have understood the instructions and the reasoning behind it.

    Then they fukc off and do it the way they want to do it.

    I'm away for a few days and I just realised I accidentally packed my OH's toothbrush instead of my own. :(

    Seriously, wtf? 'The feels'- just stop!

    Was woken up at 6am to drop my boyfriend to work. He got out of the car without even saying goodbye or thanks. Rude git. I'm not happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    When you're doing one of those brain teaser puzzle questions and you kick yourself afterwards for not seeing the answer. It always feels so obvious but you still didn't think of it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,826 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    People who describe foods as "dirty".
    E.G: "Going to get a big dirty curry" or "Just had a big dirty fish and chips."
    It annoys me beyond belief.

    Describing FOOD as dirty...I just don't get it.
    I also hate people who call Coke "full-fat Coke".
    There is no fat in Coke.

    Another annoyance (and I'm sorry to keep bringing it up) is that I still have this migraine.

    I've had it since Monday morning and the doctor gave me Frovex yesterday which worked til it wore off about 9 hours later.
    Am I just destined to have this migraine for the next few weeks or what?
    I've never suffered with them before.

    And it is very annoying when you look up your minor ailment on the internet and then end up thinking you have a brain tumour or something.

    I found a lump on my shoulder a few months ago and mentioned it to my doc. He put on that very worried face of his...
    That set off whole round of tests, scans etc...and it took ages to get the results.
    In the mean time I was checking things out on the internet....fck me...I was writing wills and giving the family extra love for ages!
    Turns out I just have an odd bone growth there...such a relief to get the all clear. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,826 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I know!
    I Googled migraines and I'm convinced I'm having a brain hemorrhage.
    I really should know better than Google my symptoms, but what else are you meant to do when you're suffering and you always think the Internet will provide some magic cure.
