I'm in on the Christmas misery too. Have had a really tough year family wise - realising that people are not who I thought they were, family siding with abuser and expecting me to keep hush about it all... I am just not in the mood for faux happy families and merriment. It all feels so fake now. I'm also growing a human so won't be able to drink :mad::mad: Will just compensate with food! :P
With you on the 1st bit. Why would you want to spend time pretend these 2 faced basterds want the best for you.
All the best with the wee one

Thank you!

They don't even have the decency to pretend! Since I told them what happened, they have done everything to make me the bad guy. When I mention it, I am a "trouble maker", when I get angry about it I am "an elder abuser". When I went through a period of drinking to numb the pain of it, I was "an alcoholic". I don't even feel like buying them presents! Or if I do, it will be a donation in their name to 1 in 4 :rolleyes:

This one could be long and a tad irrational so I'll start with a summary :

TL;DR - I got a parking ticket in Cork city that I thought was unfair, so I'm (mostly) avoiding the city until it costs the council way, way more than I paid for the ticket.

So I'll admit that I was parked illegally, and if I had taken more time, I'd have realised it. But I don't think the spaces were clearly enough marked. There was no sign at the start of the parking bay; just one small grey sign down at the end of the bay that looks like every other parking sign from that distance. The road markings were either obliterated by street repair after street repair, or covered by cars already parked there, so I honestly thought it was regular parking.

So I got a ticket issued by Cork city council. If you want to appeal the ticket, the appeal is decided by Cork city council. And if you want to appeal their decision, the appeal goes to... Cork city council. And who decides on the signage in the first place? Cork city council. Bit of a handy number there and no scope at all for abuse....

I thought about going to court over the ticket, but I thought the best case scenario could be that the judge would agree with me, but still have no power to overturn the fine, so it'd end up costing me more in the long term. Instead, I decided to boycott Cork city for ten years.... mostly.

I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face, so if I absolutely need something from the city, I'll go and avoid paying for council parking, or I'll still go to town to drink and socialise, but if I can at all I'll avoid going to the city. Cinema trips would be a good example. Maybe once a month I used to go to town, park in a council car park and go to the cinema. I haven't been in eight months since I got the ticket. That's already a long way towards the cost of the fine in lost revenue. Of course I could park in non-council car park and still go to the cinema, but the cinema is paying rates to the council and I don't want any of my money going to them if I can help it, so I'll go to a cinema outside the city, or just stay home and wait for it to be available at home.

Study after study has shown that people will act irrationally, even to their own detriment if they feel wronged or are seeking revenge. So this is my weird hill - give me an unfair parking ticket and it'll cost you a lot more in the long term.

Our canteen is not amazing but it’s perfectly adequate and cracking value for the price we pay

My TA is the chap who sits on the team behind us who moans every day about the lunch he had. Worst ever, inedible, slop, wouldn’t feed to his dog bla bla

I wish he’d zip it

You should tell him that vanish is good for getting those food stains off.

The Unspeakable Horror of wondering if your extra long plait really did just swoop into and smack off the hair removal cream under your arm. Should I douse the whole thing in the shower and then spend ages blow dryng it again or just trust to providence that it was paranoia? Nothing's fallen off yet.

Understand that I would never normally speak of such things but it's my fu**ing hair were talking about here.

I've done that innumerable times, and yes, like you I've always asked myself "Will I risk it?", and the answer's always been no (my hair is in a state as it is...). So, soaking plait every time.

It would only be effective at the roots anyway. It doesn't actually dissolve hair, just the follicles I think.

No, it doesn't, unfortunately: it's caustic (IIRC) and it actually dissolves the hairs (that's why they look all crinkly a few minutes after the application; they tell you not too keep it on for longer than the recommended maximum time because after that it starts attacking your skin.

My TA is that the Penguin bars I bought don't taste half as nice as they used to.

Coincidentally, I stole a Penguin bar from my daughter's Halloween haul. It was great, so I went out and bought loads more!

Gah! :eek:

Re Penguin bars, that would be the EU banning all the nice additives we enjoyed in the 80s. They did the same with crispy pancakes :mad:

I blame the palm oil, and the glucose-fructose syrups and all the rest.

I don’t know what’s worse, the playing of Fairytale New York or the complaints about the playing of Fairytale of New York because of that word. I’ll just stick to my usual complaining about the complaining about the playing of Fairytale of New York.

I think today's winner is the person who now insists upon calling what we used to term, in our evidently less politically sensitive days, "single" people as "self-partnered" people.

I mean, well, I just give up.

Cannot a celeb just say i,m happy to be single, if i meet someone nice i,ll see what happens .rather than making up new words or phrase,s to describe the experience being a single person
Its like celebs live in a special world, using a simple phrase like ,im single ,and i,m happy is not enough.

Self Partnered ?
Wtf ?
Since when has the word Single become so unmentionable that it had to be replaced with self partnered ?

It's like something you'd read on the FB thread
