I found shoes for sunshine! TA - I now have to get my feet "sandal-ready" .

My friend sent me a picture of a fat dog eating just as I was trying to get my jaws around a massive sandwich - now I feel like I'm being watched .

I keep forgetting to descale the kettle. I'm currently gagging down a cup of limescaley tea.

Speaking of parks/playgrounds-

down here there's a pub out the country kinda thing. has a big outdoor place for when the weather is good.
And has a playground thing beside it.
so of course with this fine weather and Easter holidays it's very busy.
Now I don't go out there, but the sister wanted to bring the kids to feed the donkeys there so I tagged along. Then of course, ice cream and the kids wanted to play in the playground.
Now we were minding ours, but what really annoys me is all the parents were more interested in their food and drink than little Jimmy bouncing his head off the ground when he falls off the climbing frame. Or when he's sitting at the top of the slide stopping all the other children.


tl:dr parents who are more interested in drinking and talking than minding their children.

Cold calling cork suckers.

If you are going to cold call, at least try something like the following

"Hi, I am Brian from Vodaphone, would you mind if I asked some questions about your current provider, and perhaps I can show you some of our offers, and maybe cut your Bill a little"

Not "Howya, do you have a landline?, no? Who does yer broadband? Right, here's the deal...

I hate that the sunny spell coinciding with Mickey Money Day has sent the skangers on a spending spree to Penneys. So many of them are decked out in the skanger Spring/Summer collection of fluorescent clothing and or velour tracksuits. The colours are migraine inducing, I suppose they wear them to accentuate their horrendous fake tan shades of orange/teak. As I read somewhere 'not so much sun kissed as Dorito raped'.

The ants are back in our garden so I've been putting down a pet safe mix of icing sugar mixed with baking soda to kill them, the annoying bit is that Mr Pumpkinseeds will start waffling on about 'the poor little ants', when he sees it. Yeah, when it comes to a choice between my feet getting bitten by the little bastards or killing them, the latter is always going to be my choice.

Eugh, yeah. The amount of young, able bodied slackers wandering around with drink is just unbelievable. Kind of makes you feel like an idiot for actually working

As for the luas at 5 30...... I'd actually rather walk. You kind of live in hope that some of them will alight at say...a certain stop. And then when they don't alight at that stop...you know they will not alight until maybe 5 stops later....and if they don't alight at that one..... they're likely going all the way

And that's another thing, if they want to burn the ass off themselves, go ahead, but can someone think of the children:D.

I have seen some serious sunburn On kids over the last couple of days.

There are often such moments in our house too. "Put vaseline on the tick to suffocate it" - um....can I not just pull it out and throw it into the field?

...and then I remember the little bástards are sucking the blood of my dog :rolleyes:

We'd a similar dilemma when a stray wandered in and we wanted to get her neutered but didn't know if she'd been er..."got at" before.... we sort of looked at each other with mild concern as we all silently considered whether our pro-life stance extended to felines :P

Being charged twice for a particularly hideous train journey, and waiting for the bank to get back to me about whether they can sort it.

Was in the cinema today somebody's phone rings annoying enough but the cow answered the phone and had a full blown conversation. Not bothering her hole to keep her voice down :-(

There's no putting it off. I've got to go to the library today, the library that's built almost entirely of GLASS, so it feels more like a greenhouse than a library and will feel like walking into an oven in this heat.:(

You should try working in one!! Need a shower every evening.

My deformed toes. Possibly not trivial but my deformed toes annoy me very much.
Oh and the person that caused them.

I've no kids, and barely bother much with my eyebrows - if I'd a baby, especially a newborn, it's definitely not something I'd be thinking of

Golf coverage. I don't care. Pampered mammies boys whacking a ball around. And as for Rory McBritish, just go away, your voice and accent are unbearable.

My housemate put the heating on. WHHHYYYY?!?!?!??11 At least if he'd warned me I'd have turned off the radiator in my room.

Now I'm too warm to sleep with the duvet over me but I can't get to sleep without the weight of the duvet over me.

Nnnngggnnghgghhh.

I hate onions... in fact it transcends hatred.

driving home from work along the M1 some evening's there's a strong waft of onions/leaks coming from one of the local fields. ugh :-(
