    I badly sprained my thumb last night and it bloody hurts, at first I thought I'd broken it. One of our cats has decided that he once again despises another of our cats and that he's either going to kill him or drive him off. I thought he'd grown out of that crap, it's been 2 years now since the other cat arrived. We hired a carpet cleaning machine a couple of weeks ago and did all our carpets, I think that's what set him off again.


    Something tells me this is a job for some kind of Ovelord of felines, hang on, wait a sec.................

    Yep, this particular Feline Overlord has been wrangling cats til 6am this morning. Lots of expletives were used, no cats were harmed, try as one might to get at the object of his hatred who had the prime spot on our bed. Fcuks sake, it's like having 4 toddlers sometimes. But we love the little buggers anyway.

    No licence needed for cats when they kill a lot more than dogs do, and they can cause blindness in old people.

    That moment when it starts lashing with rain... and you realise your clothes are still hanging outside on the line. Now infused with dewdrop conditioner overnight.

    When cashiers give you the loose change stacked on top of the notes, so that the coins they slide off and you have to pick them all up while being glared at by the queue behind you! Even when I stretch out my hand for the coins separately they insist on doing it Worse still is in the Mickey D's drive in and they fall on the ground.
    Hand me the coins, I slip them in to the purse then take the notes and go on my way - systems people!

    If you read the article you will repeatedly come across the words COULD and APPEAR. Those are used when no actual evidence for the theory exists. A theory is only valid until someone disproves it. The theory put forward in that article doesn't appear in any medical journals. They have no credible scientific evidence to back up their theory. If, in the highly unlikely event that the Lancet medical journal publishes an article stating that cats cause blindness in the elderly I will continue to view the telegraph article as the utter horse sh*t that they routinely put forward as science.

    Liquorice is unreal! I remember you could, maybe still can, get these solid liquorice bars in a black wrapper with picture of a Panda on them.

    You still can get em, I get them in Holland and Barrett, they're one of the few veggie friendly sweets you can get. Henry Goodes range is yummy too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 394 ✭✭RaRaRasputin


    You can get them indeed, but I prefer the extra salty liquorice which you can actually find in those retro sweet shops! Strangely, they usually never seem to be out of stock...

    You can buy them online too. I got a big box of retro sweets for my brother once and the following week Lidl had all the retro stuff in.

    Ah I actually never thought of buying food online, I think my wife would kill me if I dared to buy sweets that she deems "disgusting". I usually stock up when I go back, knowing that nobody here will scavenge through the drawers and devour my bounty.

    Bought garlic cheese dough balls, from tesco and only a tiny drop of cheese :(


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


    People still insist on pebble dashing the jacks and leaving it for some other sap to discover. And the smell....

    I feel your pain, I've never tried garlic cheese dough balls (tbh they sound rank :() but their scotch eggs are nothing to write home about - a bare skim of sausage on what must be a sparrows egg, and a dry egg at that. The crust is ok though, but they're nothing like the scotch eggs in a chipper up the country - massive, massive things they are, a huge egg surrounded by a half inch of sausage meat, then a crispy golden breadcrumb crust. I can never have just one, because when I do, I'm wishing I'd bought a second one :o

    Went to get something to eat this evening. Saw no kids in the cafe so thought great it will be reasonable quiet i spoke to soon. A mother & her 3 brats arrived in the first one started screaming she wanted something the other one decides to go have a run, after all that the mother decides she needs to take a picture of the kids & moves the high chair round to the side of the table i was at walloping it off my leg. To top it all off not only could she not control her kids but she didn't even have the basic manners to apologise. Some people just don't realise manners cost nothing.

    I like the dominoes pepperoni ones and thought Tesco would be a cheaper alternative but alas no, (dough balls are similar to mozzarella sticks but with a less crunchy coating) it was basicly a lump of dough with a sprinkle of cheese (chicago dough balls if your wondering), highly disappointing:mad:

    It has been said before...but Lidl.
    I went in this morning to get a baguette and left with a big tin of outdoor woodstain.
    Which means that I intend to paint the garden fences? When did I convince myself to do that?!

    When people refer to Gaelic football as Gaa. Gaa includes other sports. In fact, it includes hurling which is infinitely better and more historic than Gaelic football so there!

    I actually went looking for that a couple of weeks ago, we need to revarnish the gate we paid almost 300 quid for only 6 months ago, but they didn't have the colour we need. I may be looking at the reflective gear today though.
