    Procrastination extremist here. I'm sitting up trying to finish an assignment for college tomorrow when I should be in my bed. We were given it 2 weeks ago - Sure it's only a two page assignment I'll have it done in no time. 'Me barney' to that. I'm currently 3 hours into it and just over half ways!!
    Why do I think personal and career development is a good idea???

    Many TA's today.

    1. Was at a concert last night and the pair of cnuts sitting behind me would not shut the f**k up. No respect for the singer or anyone else. My mam told them to STFU and they threatened her! I was fuming.

    2. Having lunch in a local pub today. It was fairly quiet except for the 2 little demons from hell running round, bumping into chairs and tables and screaming at the top of their lungs while their yummy mummies sipped their mochalatteschinos with soy chai whatever and ignored them. The poor server nearly spilled a pot of tea over herself to avoid scalding poor Tristan*

    3. I've posted this before, I'm posting it now and I'm sure I'll post it again, but why do women feel the need to stop dead at the bottom of an escalator to have a full blown conversation? And then look at you like you're in the wrong when you politely say excuse me?

    Grrrrr. TA'd that I'm a scorpy b**ch today.

    I wish that cup of coffee would never end, it was glorious.
    Someone come over and make me a coffee because I'm too lazy to do it again.

    Dublin airport arrivals hall . Someone arrives out through the sliding doors with laden trolley and a pram and toddler . Or a couple with two large pulley cases

    Someone behind the rail squeals and calls and runs to arriving people

    Arrivers stop dead just at the opening doors , reunion takes place right bang slap at the way out . Others arrive out stumbling into the happy reunion and can't get past them while the hug the 7 people who picked them up

    People are manouvering around them trying to bloody well get past them and banging into each other with cases

    Happens every blessed time we pick up my daughter and it drives me insane

    Restaurant owners who are so greedy that they force tiny tables into their restaurants. My husband and I went into a restaurant yesterday and we were seated at a tiny table. We asked the waitress if we could be moved to a bigger table (one was free right beside us) and she said no, they're for 3+ people only. We sat there for a few minutes and another couple came in. They were seated at the bigger table. We asked the waitress why we had been told we couldn't have that table and she said Oh well there was no other free table for them except that one. We hadn't ordered yet so we just said feck it and decided to leave. The waitress had a right stroppy head on her over it. As we were walking out the door I heard her saying to another waitress what's their problem! and it annoyed me so much that I went back in and said sorry, do you not remember, we explained what the problem was, that table is too small for 2 people and she just said well sor-eee! with a really passive aggressive tone.

    One pillow is not enough.
    Two pillows is too much.

    Think I have solved that one ! One ordinary pillow and then one small square cushion insert . The cheapest flattest one you get in HomeStores etc .
    Pop that on top of the pillow and it just raises your head without raising your shoulders
    ( put it in an ordinary pillow case and fold it into itself )

    Forgive for me being old fashioned but cushions should stay with their own kind. You let one on the bed and next of all it's a free for all and there's bean bags, soft toys and poofs and whatever else.

    Pillows with pillows, keep it pure.

    Haha !! Well try it and it works ! Not a big plumpy cushion but just the thinest of inserts

    It's actually called Portleesha a lot in the midlands!! And with older people it's portleeks. And Laois is leeks too.
    Dunno why!

    I've heard it pronounced "Marborough" (without the y) by the oldest generation..

    I had one of them a few years ago, total waste of money. The filter gets clogged really easily and after removing it to unclog it, there was no way I could resite everything where it was and get it working again. Now this on its own is no great surprise as I am totally useless with anything even remotely DIY related, but my father had similar problems with his, and that man is very practical and would be able to fix most things.

    Even after all the good news yesterday, I cant motivate myself to work to deadline today.

    When I asked one of the neighbours to tell their kids not to cycle in our front(used to be garden) as the tar there was a bit uneven, dad told me to FO, kids had rights etc. Today the kids mum knocks in to say that our big(not very) dog's barking scared her youngest, he could have fallen off the bike and under a car, blah blah blah. Dog was barking out the front closed window, about ten feet from the path the kids were cycling on so the child was in NO danger from him! WTF?

    Ryan air have cancelled my flight to O/H's, no nookie for BB anytime soon.:mad:

    them ash vacs are a pain to put back together . the amount of them I see through out would amaze you. especially the aldi ones. people often give them to me to take away. I use them when cutting walls etc. the dust ruins vacuums .
    the problem is usually the way the filter is fitted.
    push the filter on , then slightly rotate it clockwise and push it on more. then put the lid that holds it on. there is a little switch in there to stop you running it with the filter not seated properly.
    I have 'fixed' probably 30 of them for people. every one worked great until they went to empty it and then wouldn't work after that. its an easy 'fix' once you know what wrong

    Are you even really famous these days if you don't have your own fragrance?

    I don't feel so silly now! It sounded like it sucked up a stone or something and then it just stopped. I managed to get it going again but the suction was crap and now it's just not coming on. Ugh! I'd return it but I think my uncle got it in the UK! TA'd he wasted his mula.
    Still, we had a good two days :pac:

    I met two 'charming' ladies with surly faces and their jumpers had ''This machine kills fascists'' and ''In memory of when I gave a ****'' on them. TA political statements on clothing, and that people can't be bothered to dress up, dare I say it, like women. The horrible jumpers probably cost an arm and a leg though.

    Forward people.

    I know a girl since school who always asks me to go out for drinks with her. She wants us to go out in another town this weekend. I ask her how she plans on us getting home. "Your brother". My brother hates her, detests her. She knows this. She'll still have no problem texting him on facebook to ask him. She has 2 sisters and a brother herself and I would never ask her family to come get me after a nights drinking.
