On the subject of fruit, when you bit in to a pear hoping it will be soft and juicy but instead it is as hard as a potato.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again.... wheeler dealers!

Wife put her hardly used Dawes touring cycle up for sale. We can't get a child seat to fit on it. €600 new, she was selling for €200 with no offers.

Some guy kept phoning her offering €100 and saying he was doing her a favour as she would never sell it for the asking price. Usual wheeler dealer nonsense.

So she does sell it for the asking price and the when informed wheeler dealer loses his mind demanding proof and to be told who it was sold too. She had to block his number.

Almost a carbon copy of an experience I had selling a laptop a year or two ago.

Jesus, that's like harassment or something. Sounds like a right pushy git.


My TA for today is that I forgot to put my work-breakfast Mars bar in my pocket when leaving the house this morning. Have been running on cereal fumes since this morning.

That is exactly the reason why I only buy tinned pears (in juice).

When you haven't noticed a lump of chocolate that melted on your finger and you're wondering if anyone saw it and now assumes you can't wipe your arse properly.

Even worse is when you sit on a piece of chocolate.

Breakfast / Juice glasses

They´re feckin tiny! What´s the point of them? Who decided that we would drink out of normal sized glasses for other meals but not breakfast?

I need to use 4 of them when I´m staying at a hotel

It's a strange business model alright.

17 sausages - no problem
8 slices of toast - work away
Burco boiler full of tea - would you like milk with that
200ml of juice at the one time - LEAVE THIS PLACE

When something bad or sad happens to someone you dislike and you can't help feeling sorry for them even though you don't like them and then end up feeling guilty that you're not a nicer, more patient person.

No more footwear, suppose saves getting them destroyed,:p


What's with drivers pulling up at a set of traffic lights and just as they're about to go green, they stick on the indicator to take the left or right, but they cant move because that's what the feckin 100meter filter lane beside them was for that all the other cars are using, but the muppet is now holding the straight ahead traffic. Think that's a one off, NO, 4 times in the last 3 days it's happened, Whyyyyyyyyy?

Getting increasingly annoyed with the Salthill bus and traffic situation in Eyre Square, everything is just mind numbingly slow and the cutting freezing wind.

Because of the way I hold my phone, the skin on my little finger is peeling away constantly. Looks and feels awful! I can't put my phone down though. I'm an idiot.

On the other hand, if see one more nonce in an Audi driving around without using any indicators at all whatsoever I shall ram the cunt. :mad:

Just remember, if ever anyone thinks they lead a pointless existence, there's some poor sap who spends his day putting indicators on Audis.

TA's at having no AAA batteries to put in the TV remote so am reduced to doing the whole rub batteries between hands routine to get them to work (which doesn't work). Further TA'd that I keep forgetting to buy bastárd batteries and even further TA'd that there's no iPhone app that could make it a TV remote.

My phone broke at the sides, and two pieces fell off, leaving sharp edges behind that you could cut yourself with.

Went to take a sup out of a can of coke and of course the first sup spilled all over me! Luckily I'm in my 'pelt' so no clothes destroyed!
