    T.A.'ed that I need a Stapler and I have 2 if not 3 of them in the house and I NEVER can find the godforsaken things when I need to staple something, and then I keep buying them 'cos I'm always misplacing them and I end up with 40 Boxes of Staples and no Stapler. :o:rolleyes::mad::mad: I have 2 beautifully tidied organized Baskets of Stationery and Paper-items but nope, no Stapler to be found. :mad:

    First item of my Christmas Clothes haul arrived. It looks crap on and I don't like it. :rolleyes::mad: Grrrrrrrr..

    How the **** do people not know by now that you need your boarding pass when at the top of the stairs getting onto a plane. You absolutely cretins, how the **** have you managed to survive this long!?

    Just off a plane today. Did you know you need to take liquids out of your bag before security ??? Yeah apparently it was a shock to the thick **** in front of me!!!

    Jeez the pot plant on my window knows that!!!!

    I nearly got run over today. I came to a pedestrian crossing and an oncoming car slowed down. I thought they were going to stop so I did my usual polite wave and started to cross. The car kept coming and would have clipped me if I hadn't jumped forward.

    It turned out that the prick at the wheel hadn't slowed down to let me cross but was actually texting and never even saw me. He was still texting away when he rounded the corner. I was watching him the whole time (waiting for him to look up so that I could give him a reverse peace sign) and he didn't look up once. I cannot stand people using their phones while driving!

    There's a pedestrian crossing just beside my tube station on the way to work where drivers just DO NOT SLOW DOWN when pedestrians are about to cross - as a general fcuking rule. WTF? I always make sure to stick my neck out, clock very pointed eye contact with the approaching driver and begin to walk across - and you get the face like thunder and sulky mcsulkerson as if I've just murdered his child or something.

    I nearly got run over by a black cab driver who just powered through the crossing the other day while I was beginning to walk across wearing a traffic-light red coat and lugging two suitcases - pretty bloody hard to miss. And he scowls at me like I'm the f*cking prick! I can't wait for the day that he actually runs someone over and gets his licence revoked for being an absolute dick.

    I find it actually impossible to text while driving on a touchscreen phone. (I've never even tried it btw). The older button phones with predictive text were great for this. Could easily type out a text without once looking at the phone. And you could do it with one hand. I need 2 hands for smartphone.
    I miss my old Sony Ericsson.

    You can swype with android not that I would encourage driving and texting. No sir!

    Hurt my neck like that. Slept the other way to try to take pressure off the following night. Guess what the result was...

    You still need to look though surely

    The old button phones could be used by touch

    Agreed. It was a great skill to write a message without looking.

    TAd the same is true for music players, no physical buttons anymore as it's all on your phone. Very hard to skip songs if you're out for a run

    Was on a bus last night and some clown came upstairs and opened 2 windows! There was nearly a fight. He had just came out of a gym and was warm. Boo f**kin hoo. The 30 other people had kept the window closed to keep the cold out :mad:

    ta that this happens in my office. people go out for a run during lunch break then come back and open windows so they can cool down and freeze the rest of us out of it. then because they've used up their lunchtime running they open up their stinky lunches at their desks for the rest of us to endure. and I won't even start about the smell of sweat as they don't have time to shower. . .

    I needed to push some software out to the PCs on our network this morning, so I turned to the software we use for that purpose. I sert up the installation as per the instructions. It tested it. It didn't work. So I made changes I thought might help and tested again. It still didn't work.

    The error message gave no clues, so I went to the manufacturer's website and search the knowledge base. Nothing. I searched the user forum. Nothing. So I decided to enter a support ticket. That was fine until I got to the captcha message and entered the correct characters (the image was clear as a bell). I clicked the submit button. "Please enter the correct characters" I was told, and was presented with a new image. So I entered the new characters and got the same result, and again, and again. OK so their anti-bot system is broken and is anti-human too...

    Never mind, I thought, I'll put the problem in on their user forum, and mention the captcha problem too. Forum login...oops what's my password? Tried one...tried another...no luck. Clicked the "forgot password" option. Another captcha, but this one worked (phew!) and the reset password link duly arrived in my mailbox. I clicked on the link and entered the password I wanted to use, and it was rejected because...

    ...you can't use the same password twice in a row. :o

    I think the gods are telling me that today isn't going to be terribly productive. Maybe I'll just go home...or give out about it on Boards...

    My boiler has decided to stop working. No heating and my shower only has cold water now. I really need to wash my hair. Ffs, like it's not annoying and time consuming and exhausting to spend most of my time doing IVs when I'm ill and trying to feed myself and make sure the apartment isn't a total tip, I now can't wash myself or heat the place. Just fcuk everything, fcuk it. I also think I put out the bins too late :(

    TA'd my right knee was sore for no reason yesterday.....now the left one is sore!

    My 8 year old son keeps shoving things in my face to look at.......I thought being single meant nicer things shoved in your face :pac:

    Debating whether to go to a get together tonight as I haven't seen a lot of these people in years and I feel like a whale :o

    Following on from this I woke up with bad acid reflux causing me to cough bad and yep I heard a pop under my rib and now its sore, combine that with a stiff body from upping my gym routine I am quite the moaner today :D

    Hopefully you get it sorted. There's something wrong with my heating upstairs for a few weeks now and it's freezing. Every morning I'm delayed because I don't want to get out of bed. Then I get in the shower and it takes ages to get the courage to get out of that!

    Final before the new year one on one tutorials next week, all the class in on subsequent days. Someone had the idea of having group drinks as its Christmas and all. As I'm perceived as "local", I'm nominated to suggest venues.

    As we are a mixed group on the "middle-aged" side, I mentioned a high tea/lunchtime theater type thing. But no, this group of not young, well paid, state employees want to stay in their hotel skulling pints!

    I foresee a lot of empty seats at the final q&a the next day. Which will cause major hassle at the end of the year.

    "Old enough to know better, too young to admit that"

    Ta'ed The row there will be when Im nominated in their mind as designated driver and I refuse.

    Work meetings where you're sitting there thinking of all the productive things you could be doing rather than listening to people go on and on about stuff you have zero interest in and where your contribution could be condensed into a couple of lines in an email. An extraordinary waste of my time. Time is much more important for me now than it was, say, 20 years ago. And it seems like very many of us are having far more of these bullshít meetings in 2017 than people were having at work 20 years ago.

    Worst words at the end of a meeting where ye didn't discuss anything from the agenda but instead something new? "I'll set something up and we can go through it". :mad:

    We. just. went. through. it.

    Watching the utter b0ll0xoliigy that is ‘The Late Late Toyshow Unwrapped’

    RTÉ need a serious clip round the ear here.
    They’ve made a multi part show....... about a Show, while introducing us to the next generation of nieces & nephews that we’ll have to endure on our screens for the next 30 years.


    Fcuk Right Off.

    Makes my blood boil the utter tripe they peddle out, while demanding a licence fee increase
