    People who don't seem to realise that the same rules apply for mini roundabouts as the normal size ones. The amount of times the person that I have to yield to yields to me too and sits there like a deer in the headlights.

    People who drive over them instead of around them.

    Also people who don’t know what a yellow box on the road means and drive into it therefore blocking the whole place up.

    People who put raw meat on the top shelf in the fridge!

    Actually putting mini roundabouts in locations where they aren't needed!

    Go to a webpage, click an item link and because the page is still loading it you end up clicking something irrelevant

    People inserting themselves into conversations that are not about them or involving them. :mad:

    Smokers who congregate at hotel/pub entrances, causing the rest of us to hold our breaths while we enter, like walking the gauntlet of old.
    I remember once going into a pub and meeting 2 friends at the door, smoking away. One said "Where you going?" I replied "I'm going inside for some fresh air". ;)

    I saw some on oxendales.ie yesterday.

    Thank you, I will have a look:)

    On the subject of mini roundabouts there is one here that has 2 exits as you are leaving the town, so you are either going left or straight on to the next large roundabout. Technically if you are going straight through you are using the second exit so would indicate left when passing the first. The amount of people who indicate right to go straight through( as if they are taking a third exit) does my head in. In doing that they should be going back the way they came.

    The postman called early with a parcel and I had to sign for it pre shower with my hair on end in the scabby dressing gown I only wear as I have never found another with a zip.

    Never wear a dressing gown with a zip, especially if you are an ant eater.


    Not a good idea.

    Liver had its work cut out today. I met up with two ex colleagues yesterday who I only see once or twice a year now but for some reason we always lose our sh*t. Good times!
    So thankful today is nearly over. I couldn’t even focus on reading a book for more than 10 minutes.

    I'm no eco warrior but the amount of water wasted waiting for hot water. I doing washing up and rinsing a milk container. Nearly 8 litres gone before the really hot water came out.

    Yes Newie I'll bear that in mind, I suppose I could pour it into a watering can for a shower too :)

    No, but you could pour it into a bucket to flush the loo... unless you like cold showers, in which case knock yourself out. :pac:

    Ah no, half of the fun is the back and forth of "helpful" suggestions that would make Dr Nick Riviera proud. :D

    I used to joke that the hot water pipes went around the to the neighbours before coming to the kitchen sink in my father's house. You are emptying the cylinder of hot water only for it to lie in the pipes again to cool.
    I've see the electric taps work and while they do use electricity it might be cheaper to use than the tank water, especially if using an immersion heater.

    Today at lunchtime in a certain SPAR, I asked the Deli staff could I buy a bowl / cup of soup. Any flavour would do.

    No, no soup available. What's the fupping rocket science about it? I suppose the main clientele are so used to the all encompassing breakfast role / bap / sandwich
