    I knocked the newly opened bottle of vegetable oil flying with my elbow and of course the lid wasn't closed properly. It got the floor, the side of the cooker, the table and the small child still in school uniform. FML :(

    I remember flying out of Turin 11-12 years ago. Now, when you got to departures strangely it divided in 2 channels- UK this way and the rest of Europe that way. As I flying back to Dublin naturally I went 'that way'. You know where this is going....

    I was told to go back as I should be going through the 'UK' channel. I tried to protest on the logical grounds that I was not flying to the UK but oh no...Ireland is lumped in with the UK but it does not say 'UK & Ireland'. I could have have punched the head off the guard and gladly served time for it but thought better of it.

    Instead I have just blacklisted all Italians and hate everyone of them. I have no idea if the same arrangement is still in place.

    I think it's something to do with Schengen/Non-Schengen.

    Fair city

    So bad that it's good. I do give out to myself sometimes for watching it.

    Same here, if it wasn't for the thread in the tv forum and the laugh that is had in there, I'd be long gone.

    Housemates taking your brand new frying pan and using it to cook their dinner while carelessly gouging deep scratches into it while stirring and cutting up meat on it with a knife. There goes me being able to flip my eggs or not having scrambled eggs stick to the surface. Then I have leave it lying in hot water and suds and scrubbing like a madman just to clean it. Don't stir stuff or cut stuff up in a nonstick saucepan with forks, knives and spoons etc!

    Murder would be acceptable.

    People spend months planning holidays ; best location, best accommodation, best flights , good for them

    My TA is every summer Joe Duffy and indeed boards.ie get flooded with complaints over passport delays

    You booked your flight in February so why are you applying for your passport in May :confused:

    The staff do their best and get nothing but abuse while applicants runs to their TDs to sort their own disorganization

    Yes but the gubberment.......

    TA people that blame the government for everything. Sort out your own life rather than blaming everyone else.

    TA constant lies about 'homelessness'.

    I had a half eaten queen cake earlier and I misplaced it and I can't find it and I don't think I ate it.

    Nah, with the new frying pan. A head-shaped dent wouldn't make much of a difference, at this stage.

    Are you sitting on it? :pac:

    Who half-eats a queen cake? They're a one mouthful job, surely?

    The dog and one of the cats decided to have a fight on me last night while I was sleeping. Pr*cks.
    It was already bad enough that I was sleeping in one of the kids beds because he snuck into my bed before I got there last night.



    I took the dog downstairs and while carrying her slipped in a little puddle of water on the ground. It wasn't there when I went to bed, it wasn't wee, but I ended up having to clean that up, stop another dog/cat fight, realise I didn't go a good job of cleaning and had to do it again, get annoyed by another cat because he wanted to go outside. Go back to bed, then some f*cker was outside beeping their horn, couldn't get back asleep.


    Spend my time wondering where the mystery liquid came from.

    Or else it was a controlled pissy protest.

    Too clear and liquidy.

    I like his early material but his attempts at comebacks lately have been sub par.

    It didn't taste like my wee.

    Maybe it was the wee of someone extremely hydrated.

    Living in the UK I get quite a lot of 'Oh what part of Ireland are you from? I am Irish too.' Conversations will generally go like this:


    Plastic Paddy: Oh what part of Ireland are you from? I am Irish too.
    PG: Cork
    Plastic Paddy: Is that in the North or South?
    PG: (Thinking: Really? Not great on the old geography there for an Irish person) The South. The nice bit. What part of Ireland are you from?
    Plastic Paddy: Oh.....well....amm...erm. Well I am not from Ireland. My grandfather was Irish.
    PG: Oh right. I thought you said you were Irish. (Now just being polite) Whereabouts was you grandfather from?
    Plastic Paddy: I am not sure I've never been. Is there somewhere called (pronounces badly) I]insert random county usually either in Connaught or the border region[/I or Dublin maybe I'm not sure...he died years ago.
    PG: So really you are not Irish at all are you. Your grandfather was. (Thinking why the fcuk are you going around telling people you are Irish you twat)

    FFS....:rolleyes:
