I killed a crow today. Well really, my car did. Well really, the crow killed itself. I was driving along the dual carriageway (under the speed limit) and it flapped it's way up in front of my windscreen, and kind of suspended itself there midair trying to decide what direction to go, braking or swerving wasn't an option cause with cars behind me and coming in the other lane it would've caused an accident. So it hit my windscreen and bounced onto the windscreen of the oncoming car (thank god they didn't swerve either) and I reacted totally appropriately, I mean I couldn't have done anything to prevent it but the big *THUNK* of it hitting my windscreen is replaying again and again in my head. The guilt of it! I think s/he was a bit dazed with the heat. Hope s/he doesn't have kids.

RIP crow.

I thought that said "I killed a cow" and I was trying to figure out how you were even posting about it!

I hope you're not too distressed about it, it's the circle of life. I know it's awful sad (I love birds) but don't beat yourself up too much, it's just nature and modern life converging.

My TA is that I finished my exams last night and was planning a lovely lie in this morning because I am wrecked but I woke up mega early and now can't get back asleep. I am going out tonight for our class night out and I'll probably be asleep by 10 pm:(
Also, does anyone know what time you're supposed to show up to these things? I never go anywhere so I don't know if "8pm" actually means 8pm or does it mean something else in cool person speak:(

Not getting a good sleep because I kept waking up feeling like I was drowning in my own sweat.

The fact my hair never looks neat for very long. It's so fine (though I have a lot of it) if i tie it up it looks like I've slept in it after 20 minutes.

Tell me how

Well done on exams. Turn up any time between half seven and before everyone leaves.

Suggest texting a classmate/friend and asking do they want to meet for a drink first down the street at half seven.

TA'd that I left 1 burner of my BBQ on low last night after the BBQ, so it's been running away with itself for the last 15 hours heating the atmosphere.

So, feel nice and warm today in Dublin? your welcome??

Now I've F**k all gas left!! Do I change it now, or risk running out of gas today when cooking dinner?!

Whenever any Irish person is in the news be it for a tragedy or whatever, the lazy journalists always have to pad out their report with shíte about how they were well known and well respected in the community, or involved with GAA or popular in the area etc. Shut the fúck up. A tragedy is atragedy and is not lessened or heightened by virtue of someone playing stick fighting.

some absolute bell-end was outside on the estate roaring his head off at 4am this morning, and I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards. Some people can be right pr*cks.

Yep, it means the person is popular and ''one of us'' and could do no wrong. It seems to come up often in the news and happened in the case of a local man who did something criminal. Is not being involved with the GAA and keeping yourself to yourself a sign of latent evil, I wonder.

It's the same at funerals. Beloved mother. The best sister. The kindest friend.
It makes me so glad to be an asshole, makes me immortal.

Winterlong

I would love to attend my own funeral and see what they all say about me. Bask in the tributes and lies.

bottlebrush

I'm not in the gaa and I'm not a mother so I'll have the church to myself the day of my funeral.
Not a bit ta.

OldNotWIse

The only time I was ever at a funeral where the eulogy wasn't practically fraudulent was a colleagues mother who was an absolute cu next Tuesday of the highest degree, and the only good thing they could say about her was, "she was never afraid to tell people what she thinks".

TA taking anti-inflammatories and retaining fluid. I feel fat!

TA'ed that ppl seem to think we should all be as interested in their good time as they are. AND think that other ppl's sleep is less nb.

Bredabe

In some places not being a gaa head is evil of the highest order.
TA'eed the unwritten rule that we "cant speak ill of the dead", like we and their loved ones dont know they could be monsters when it suited them.

Bambi985

Bit OT but this obit always gives me a good chuckle. Probably the most honest "tribute" to a dead person ever. :pac:

Leslie Ray Charping

Leslie Ray "Popeye" Charping was born in Galveston, Texas on November 20, 1942 and passed away January 30, 2017, which was 29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved. Leslie battled with cancer in his latter years and lost his battle, ultimately due to being the horses ass he was known for. He leaves behind 2 relieved children; a son Leslie Roy Charping and daughter, Shiela Smith along with six grandchildren and countless other victims including an ex wife, relatives, friends, neighbors, doctors, nurses and random strangers.


At a young age, Leslie quickly became a model example of bad parenting combined with mental illness and a complete commitment to drinking, drugs, womanizing and being generally offensive. Leslie enlisted to serve in the Navy, but not so much in a brave & patriotic way but more as part of a plea deal to escape sentencing on criminal charges. While enlisted, Leslie was the Navy boxing champion and went on to sufficiently embarrass his family and country by spending the remainder of his service in the Balboa Mental Health Hospital receiving much needed mental healthcare services.


Leslie was surprisingly intelligent, however he lacked ambition and motivation to do anything more than being reckless, wasteful, squandering the family savings and fantasizing about get rich quick schemes. Leslie's hobbies included being abusive to his family, expediting trips to heaven for the beloved family pets and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned. Leslie's life served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities besides quick whited sarcasm which was amusing during his sober days.


With Leslie's passing he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving husband, father and good friend. No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no apologizes to the family he tortured. Leslie's remains will be cremated and kept in the barn until "Ray", the family donkey's wood shavings run out. Leslie's passing proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all.

Equally, you cannot omit the 'on', for example if you were to say '' Greencap posted in the Trivial Things thread Thursday'' or ''The sports day will be held Monday ''

When people say "of a Monday". Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh.

My jumper's shrunk in the washing machine. Now my wrists are sticking out like the wrist of an urchin child from Oliver Twist.

Or worse - look like a hipster.

My TA is that I have been nurturing my strawberry plants for a long time now. The first ones are growing nicely but it looks like they will ripen when I am away for a few days.

So the other two who I live with - who have made no effort - will bear the first fruits of this years strawberry crop.

I'm a cheapskate. That's not my TA.

My TA is I have (as discussed) psoriasis in my joints. Although I've had psoriasis for years it was never in my joints before. So I rang boots "hi I have XX is there anything I can buy over the counter?" No we recommend seeing your dr.
Rang dr surgery yesterday and spoke to the nurse, "do I need to have my bloods done?" No you need to see the dr.
Got an appointment this morning "yes it seems like that's what it is, I want you to continue on with nurofen for 10 days, come back and have a blood test done and we'll take it from there".

Are you ducking sh1tting me?! 50 euro for that! I was robbed

Winterlong

And you can expect the spanish inquisition when you try to buy said 10 days nurofen supply from the pharmacy. Double kick in the nuts.

Yes, that little extra piece of unnecessary news. Kind of like the awful story in the paper the other day about two men in Indonesia getting lashed for having gay sex...that was the actual report, two men lashed for having gay sex. Am I missing something ? Is there any other sort for two men to have?

Bell ends in cars waiting to collect neighbors, the motor left revving for half an hour at 2 in the morning while jacinta says her endless goodbyes, gets her hair ready for her early shift, or whatever reason.
Same thing for the guy in the transit van at 7am. Sat outside my neighbors ringing him to get up.
I hear the whole drama, he calls him on one of those extra loud car phone setups.

TA'ed, tomtom down on company car, asked colleague for exact directions to meeting, she draws me a map with NO markings at all. Ask another(1st one a begrudging b!tch) for directions, she hands me pen to write them down, now if I could read my own writing I would be boss and not sap out on the road taking abuse for just being there.

2. Slept too much yesterday and was foggy headed all day, slept enough last pm, still foggy headed but cranky and dozy as well, wtf.
3. A post on a forum saying how we all just human and it's all good, Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

When an advert for a car says "only 1.3 so cheap insurance" when in reality there is no such thing as cheap car insurance in this country.

Fcuking car mats. Why are they so impossible to clean? It's like they are made out of the exact opposite material that they should be made from. Every little bit of crap and hair and dirt gets stuck to them and it's impossible to hoover them properly. Just did a lovely job cleaning my car, it is spotless- and now I've to put back these half assed cleaned, still manky looking, stupid annoying car mats.

The awkwardness that still haunts me when someone from our US office tried to give me a fist bump but I was expecting a handshake, so I grabbed his fist and shook it until he tried to change it to a handshake and I tried to do the fist bump.

I've heard of the gear-shifter before....but a double gear-shifter is unheard of!
