    The fact that people are already mouthing off about Leo and he's in this position for not even 24hrs. I'm not his biggest fan by any means but I'd rather give him a chance and see how he gets on, then slate him before he's even had a chance.

    TA I couldn't sleep last night. I couldn't switch off. I was so annoyed that even the fantastic rain showers didn't relax me. Now I'm really drained.
    I fell asleep at 6 am and woke up with my mouth wide open.
    The startup jingle on my computer just made me jump.

    The fact I think Leo is a bit of a lash

    The checkout machines in dunnes say 'insert cash or touch pay with card' ... when im already fcking paying with cash.

    Like after you put the cash in it tells you to pay with cash.

    You're telling me what to do after I've already started to do it.
    Dont tell me what to do after I've already started to do it.
    I hate when people tell me what to do after I've already started to do it.

    Pens that inexplicably stop working at key moments, like when you are trying to write down info from an important phone call...

    Then magically start working again shortly afterwards! :(

    Seems trivial... but could dodgy stationary be a factor that precipitates the fall of an otherwise healthy and prosperous business?? :P

    You know when you are driving.
    You know when the sun is shining.
    You know how you pull down both sun visors.
    You know how the sun glares through the little gap above the mirror and blinds you.

    Fcuk that gap. Fcuk it to hell.

    My car failed the NCT today on one small fault.

    I have misplaced my prescription sunglasses today, can't be found anywhere. I am crippled without them for driving, you may as well take away my oxygen :(

    I am home already after a night out , I'm not able for food and drinking after and an early start tomorrow. The band was really good too but I was sitting there all bloated and uncomfortable. No stamina these days :(

    You can't go anywhere without being surrounded by children! I went to a restaurant tonight and the children were running the show. Children running around, sitting on the floor playing with food and toys, making loads of noise, swinging off the back of their seats.

    And to top that off, at 9pm, a couple came in with a baby, who couldn't have been more than 6 months old. Into a restaurant at 9pm on a Saturday night:confused: And the baby spent the time crying her eyes out.
    In all fairness to the baby, between the other children in the restaurant being so bloody loud and the restaurant itself being loud, I couldn't blame her for crying, I felt like crying too!

    Why do parents insist on bringing their children, who would quite clearly rather be at home doing what children do, out to restaurants late at night?!

    And, of course, you can't say anything because you'll be accused of "mum shaming" them and be all over mumsnet and other such nonsense:rolleyes:

    I paid a rare visit to a church today for a ceremony. I'll say it slowly:

    What. Is. Wrong. With. Some. Parents. That. They. Refuse. To. Remove. Their. Child. From. The. Church. When. That. Child. Is. Bawling?

    Are. You. Slow, Parent? Are you that totally fúcking oblivious to what is happening? Are you really that devout in your beliefs that you're engrossed in the ceremony and unaware of your screaming child? (Answer for the vast, vast majority of Irish parents of young screaming babies in 2017: you're fúcking not!)

    At weddings, christenings, and all the rest - you're the selfish, obtuse clown we grit our teeth at in disbelief. Most considerate people with a baby would sit near the door for a quick escape, while the average irreligious person would use even an inkling of upset as an excuse to escape from the church but for some reason Mr/Ms À la carte Christian Irish parent will not leave.

    Thank you to the priest for finally stopping the ceremony until moron parent removed said child (and, much more importantly at that stage, said moron parent).

    Hearing about the London attack tonight, I prefer not to read about it as it's too upsetting but some idiot on facebook thinks it's ok to keep posting updates about it.

    Not everyone wants to know the minute to minute news. They'll be blocked for now.

    Congratulations to the priest indeed. Getting young people out of churches will have major benefits to society at large. Not sure it will be great for the churches, mind you.

    The krill oil tablets I take claim not to repeat on you like other fish oils. Utter bullsh1t! Plus if they touch your fingers at all they make them stink:(

    TA that my laptop mouse has a life of its own and zooms all over the page, opening popups and scrolling to the end of an article when I'm reading a sentence.

    My dog being a little diva. Fed them both. Went and prepared some food for myself and left it on worktop. Sharknose knew I had my food on worktop. Stopped eating his own food made his way to the worktop, propped himself up with his two front paws and gazed lovingly at my plate. Made me feel mad guilty

    Here's a spider story from my bedroom 2014. Laying in bed minding my own business when I feel a sharp pain in my ear, then a pinching sensation and I can feel something moving inside my head, furiously trying to escape as it danced along my eardrum. I was freaking out and my housemate had to pour olive oil in my ear to drown it to stop the fluttering then I had to go to the out of hours dr to have the corpse removed from my ear. I'm terrified of them ever since and make no apology for killing them. When those people start up "oh how could you? It's so cruel!" I tell them come back to me when you have experienced having one trapped inside your head feeling it fluttering around and then we'll talk.

    TA accidently standing on one in my bare feet
