    There is an ad on 4FM.
    It goes something like "Hi I'm Mary, from Dental Excellence Ireland blah blah"
    She has a voice that could crack a plate.
    It's an ad which does the complete opposite of what it is supposed to do.
    I'd rather go to Hades for pile treatment than go to Hungary with Mary for some "dental excellence"

    Having recently broken free of the corporate office environment, I'm using the opportunity to do what I've wanted to do for years: grow my hair long(ish).

    Office style (including "smart casual") is one if the western world's greatest evils. Office bloke haircuts are a significant part of this.

    So where's the TA? Well, my long hair...well it just looks rubbish..it's curly in parts, more curly in others. Does whatever it wants, combs, brushes etc make no difference. The bits at the sides seem to be growing outwards and curling upwards.

    I really want to shave it all off, not least because I keep pulling at it etc., but I don't want to throw in the towel just yet.

    In summary: short hair, boring; long(ish) hair, rubbish; me TA'd.
    Welcome to the world of women :pac: :P

    TA'd with work and other people making mistakes that I have to sort.:(

    A girl I know was just giving me the low down on her new routine. She naps for two hours during the day! Like a new woman she says. Well for some I said. Not all of us are able to have that luxury.

    I don't have diabetes but I get hypos (low blood sugars) and I get all confused. I was eating a sandwich at the bus stop to bring them up when the bus stopped and I got on, then I realised that I'd put my diet coke bottle into my handbag without the top on. Coke everywhere, on my dress because I put my bag on my lap, on my phone ( though thankfully it's still working), my book is soaked, my prescription, basically everything in my bag. Bleh.

    Me too - it's fecking shyte. And I've low blood pressure too, so if they hit at the same time then I could hit the deck. Pain in the arse. Hope your bag wasn't ruined :(

    I bought a wrap-around dress about two weeks ago for work. I've only worn it once. Brought it with me this morning to put on after gym and I must have lost weight in the last week because it's gone too big for me so that I can't wrap it any further meaning I have to keep pulling at it to make sure I'm not flashing my tits at my colleagues.

    In England, went into Subway at lunchtime,

    They wouldn't accept the £10 note I had as it was a Bank of Ireland (Northern Ireland) issued note.

    Grand says me (I kind of expected them to not take it), I have a £5 note and 2 new £1 coins that I can pay with.

    Sorry, we don't accept the 'old'* £5 notes either!

    *I only got this note up in Newry about 3 weeks ago!!

    "Is she on solids?"
    "We all did it, it won't do any harm"
    "She'll settle right down as soon as she starts on solids"

    This is all from a family member who knows Im sticking to HSE and WHO guidelines and not giving my baby solids until six months.
    Cheers for trying to undermine my decisions and make me feel like I've got this parenting lark all wrong :(

    Have the HSE finally caught up with the times and stopped recommending solids before six months? I'm actually delighted to hear that, massive progress! Off-topic, but if you're on Facebook there's a really good Irish page for weaning from six months on - PM me and I'll send you a link, if you want!

    If ONE more person starts on me today telling me how to live my life, I won't be answerable for what I'll do to them.

    Ah I'm grand thanks, coming down with websites and books and all that. If I get any more helpful advice someone's gonna lose an eye.

    lie - your baby eats 15 potatoes a day and sleeps 14 hours a night (its bull but it keeps you from murdering those ever so "helpful" people). Let them hear what they want to hear. Nod and smile.

    my ta have to take a trip to galway from the midlands to try and get a dentist to fill my son's tooth. ahhhh

    New computer system in work,implemented with good intentions but not so much thought. I nearly came close to punching a monitor already after only a couple of days use.

    What you should do is ignore, then go buy a house and get a foot on the ladder.

    My TA: my dog has a form of pollen allergy, sardines and piriton help, I ran out of both for 2 days, she's now all legs like an octopus trying to scratch.

    Are you me? :confused::confused:

    This happened me too only I bought the dress in five different colours so now I have five times the TA! Still, I bought them and I am damn well gonna use them so until such time that I can get my dad to put an extra stitch in the plunge line, my colleagues will have to suffer!

    A little bit of cleavage can only ever be a good thing. My TA is that there is none in my workplace unless you count the bum crack on the accountant in the corner.

    That's maddening. My godson's mum had loads of people at her to feed him solids before six months and she was doing a great job breastfeeding him. Everyone said he was crying because he was hungry but in reality he was (and still is) just a cranky shíte.

    TA that my mum put me on solids at six weeks.She used to mix baby rice with my milk and had to cut the top off the bottle to feed it to me. Worst of all she is proud of it and says that it was the right thing to do because I "went the night" - too right I went the fúcking night, I was probably in a food coma! You'd actually get arrested now for some of the things our parents did. Dipping my soother into jam so that I'd suck it. Rubbing whiskey on my gums when I was teething. Ears pierced at a year old. :mad::mad:

    I've read a lot of research that suggests that the reason a lot of adults suffer from IBS and other bowel issues is because they were weaned too young and developed a sensitivity because their system wasn't mature enough to digest the food.

    It was very interesting and made sense!

    My nana used to melt chocolate and feed it to me before I was weaned. Explains my chocolate addiction alright.

    In an article about Gay pride the Indo interviewed 10 members of the gay community there were:

    TV presenter
    Snapchat star, influencer, presenter and brand manager (the biscuit was taken there)
    photographer
    designer
    PR, freelance writer and editor
    model agent
    musician
    photographer
    fashion stylist and producer
    Writer/journalist

    Are there any at all who are electricians, builders or work in a fish processing factory?
