I had a "your man there, eating everything - is he... alright??" sort of day yesterday. I began the day with four scrambled-eggs on wholemeal toast for breakfast, and at lunch a great big bowl of beef stew. By 5pm I was ravenous again so I ram-raided the chipper and got a large portion of chips and two quarter-pounders with extra cheese. This was topped off with about half of a Gateaux chocolate log.

I'd say you created a chocolate log of your own after eating all of that

I did that yesterday too. College day so my long suffering dad made me a big cheesy omelette with toast and a packed lunch. Ate the packed lunch at morning break. Then at lunch I had a muffin and a bag of waffles. Dinner was an entire pizza and an entire bottle of wine...followed by a magnum of prosecco and 2 "small" bottles of beer. I wasn't just a disaster, I was spectacular.

And today, it's barren and miserable.

Reminds me of another TA, one of you f*ckers on here posted something about a bowel movement a number of months back and I remember, nearly word for word, that it went something like this:

"That's nothing compared with the 6lb brown trout I am about to birth in the toilet"

and every time, EVERY TIME I go to the bathroom, a little voice in my head says, "remember that 6lb brown trout that someone from TTTAY birthed?"

As a noted surgeon once said: eat well, and blow health out yer ass.

I've work tonight so I thought I'd stay up late and try sleep most of the day. Went to bed at 5 and woke up a while ago. Totally defeats the purpose. If I had gone to bed at 10 or 11 I would have slept until 10 or 11 this morning. So I stayed up most of the night for no reason and came out with less sleep. My head hurts from not having enough sleep but I probably won't be able to fall back asleep.

Oh and I have the beginnings of a cold sore. It serves me right though, my medical card expires this month and I don't think I'm eligible for another one so I was thinking last week: 'I should stock up on zovirax even though I don't have a cold sore.' :pac: And I only get them two or three times a year.

I needed to make an appointment with my GP for as soon as...
Ring up and asked for my date of birth; okay says I, it is xx-x-19xx

The receptionist starts speaking with someone working with her before
She comes back to me after about 20seconds with
~ Oh I am having database issues, Can I have your Date-of-Birth again
~ Okay no bother says I database issues can happen so it is xx-x-19xx

She comes back again saying, so it is xxx adding almost 10-years to my actual age.

^^^ Now not only has she not been able to listen to what I said, twice at this stage, she was also incapable of jotting down the numbers on a scrap piece of paper.
If you've difficulties actually listening to someone; of even difficulties remembering numbers, that is okay. Just jot down the details/numbers and type them in when ready. <-- That has nothing to do with a database. That is the actual person who was not able to listen twice nor write down what she had trouble remembering what she was told.

She comes back again saying 'Apologies, database issue' can I have your date-of-birth again...

Okay, so for the third time it is ...

I swear if it were not important I'd have actually just said 'to hell with it and just hung up'!.
It's just so damn annoying that people cannot listen when spoken to, not just hearing what is being said, but unable to listen.
Also so damn annoying that she was unable to jot down the figures to input into system if their actually was some database issue and rang me back when solved.
I don't ask for help easily. I don't phone on a whim. I need an appointment, didn't even bother me that my own GP is too busy until end of the week so I've to see ANother doctor that I've never even heard of before.

TA that's annoyed me today ^^^ People being unable/unwilling to listen or use their heads to jot down something they've difficulties remembering so as not to annoy someone by having them repeat it three-times. <-- That's nothing to do with a database issue. That's just annoying someone who has rang a doctors' surgery for assistance.

Microwaving yesterdays dinner on a plate:
Most bits heated ok, others still stone cold, and anything like gravy / fatty will turn into lava! :eek:

who told all cashiers to hand you back your change with the coins on top of the notes on top of the receipt?

It is possibly THE most awkward f**king way. You have to slid the coins off, put them away, separate the notes and the receipts so that you don't have to have a rake of receipts in your wallet!? So in order not to spend ages at the till putting it away, you cram it all into your pocket and then move aside and sort it all out later. Pain in the ****!

PS - I know its been that way for a while now, but much like the plastic sealed items that need a chainsaw to open, no one fecking asked for it

This, wish I could thank it more than once!

The key is to grin like mad and nod at everyone getting on so they think YOU are the odd one and avoid you!

Pro Tip: Create a hole in the food in the centre of the plate. Gives you a more even heating.

When people put in what they thin is enough for their job.
You refill, and their job resumes.
You've to then wait for their job to finish, then yours, then seperate the f*ckers.

Fist bumps, like when you say something that a person agrees with and they sticks their fist out waiting for you to do the same.

I find them awful corny.

My brother has a variation on this. Instead of a fist bump, it's a high 5 with "Don't leave me hangin'!", and it's usually after he has said something extremely racist/sexist/bigoted. It's usually something like "Mohammadans are evil scum who deserve to die painfully......don't leave me hangin'!". He knows nobody will 'give him 5', but he persists in doing it.

I've got the tree out of the attic, and fit it together. It's the kind that has it's own lights, and I don't know how to do it, and there's a loose looking bit:(. Waiting on the eldest to have a look at it, as she is great with anything like that, but she is busy, and taking forever . I'm tired just looking at it now, awake since 6, and want to go back to bed.
I'm coming up to the Big Shmoke tomorrow, and after everything I read on here, am genuinely anxious about the Luas. I'll be like a little cnut with the early start too.

There are roadworks all along the front of the estate beside mine, so they decided that anyone going along the road away from my house is diverted right (which could be a minimum of 5 minutes out of your way). Cars coming from the opposite direction (coming towards my house) are allowed, even though it's there side of the road that is being worked on. Could they not alternate the traffic, allowing one side to go for a minute or 2, and then the other side? I was on the bike so I just hopped onto the footpath (there were no pedestrians around).

I am reliably informed that the "Daniel Day" refers to the Red line, and the "Jerry Lee" to the Blue? :pac:

I do apologise, I mean the Green line of course. I'm still traumatised after having to duck-and-weave between the trains on the streets around Smithfield earlier this year.

Originally, yes. I couldn't see anywhere that looked like a Piebald-selling department, so I ram-raided the distillery instead.

When I'm over 20 pages behind in this thread and I want to post about how annoyingly hard it is to catch up but I can't cause if I do I'll lose my place and have to hunt for it again. Caught up for now anyway!

Salad annoys me.

I buy lettuce, cucumber, peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onions and sweetcorn. I buy it with the intentions of eating it.
I buy it Thursday.
Friday comes and I don't fancy any of it.
"Saturday," I say. "Saturday I'll have a salad."
Saturday comes and I don't fancy any.
Same goes for Sunday and Monday.

Tuesday comes and I think: "Yes, I fancy a salad with my dinner."
I go to the fridge and the lettuce is looking a little limp.
I half-heartedly eat the salad I've lovingly prepared.
Days pass, the salad goes off. It goes in the bin.

I don't buy any salad in the next shop but then Friday or Saturday comes and I think "I fancy a salad now."

Off we go again on this cruel salad merry go round with me pledging to buy salad in the next shop.
I buy salad in the next shop and you guessed it, I don't fancy it.

Why do I only want things when I don't feckin have them?

TA - Even though I ate a heap of grapes earlier, I still needed a chocolate fix!
I probably ended up eating more sugar anyway!
Should have just stuck to the chocolate...
