    Am wearing a Pink Floyd tshirt that I got in Penneys. Admittedly I know about three songs, and I only bought it because it has a pretty rainbow on it. The amount of people that have asked "Pink Floyd fan are we?" "Name one song". Yes I'm one of those annoying people who wears band tees and knows fcuk all about the band. Piss off and let me wear my rainbow tshirt in peace.

    I'm on a diet but I relax it a bit at the weekends. TA'd that I don't feel like eating anything and I was dreaming of junk all week!

    TA that I've spent the day cleaning the house, and enjoyed it. That's not normal, I always hate housework. The house does smell lovely and fresh, though.

    I remember getting buses from Galway to Cork before and the back ledge had loads of 'lemonade' bottles full :D


    My annoyance is my neighbour's taste in music. The other day they had 'Hit me with your Rhythm Stick' on. I fancy a bit of Kings of Leon now so might have to drown their dross out.

    TA that I either didn't notice before, or else people genuinely can't speak or write the English language anymore.
    Reading an article in the Independent about some likely Traveller (it hurts me not to use another word) whose kid seen the light, or whatever. There was a lot seen anyway. Probably a few houses along the way too. Ugh.

    See you!! Amateur at this game.

    Pop one of those self sealing bags in under the kex before the journey .

    Good strong one, mind.

    Pop the Tassle in, and a few minor adjustments only will be needed to complete the task if required..

    At least a two litre unit would be required.

    Saves endless angst.

    I have a big event on today, so was on the dry last night.
    Was on the way home from town when I got a call from my friend asking me to pick him up a 6 pack of Guinness.

    So, I swung around and headed back to Tesco. Picked up the 6 cans and walked down to the self service area. Called your one over to scan them as it was only recognising one of the cans for me. She's looking me up and down and when she scans them she goes "can I see your ID?"

    Now usually I'd be thrilled but I didn't have my wallet with me as I didn't plan on going to Tesco, I just had the loose change in the car to pay for it. I politely tell her her I have no ID on me, and I'm 28 years old. Well beyond the age of carrying it.

    "No sorry" she says, "I can't serve you". Ffs! "You look very young".
    So I turn away from her and ring my friend who's sitting in my car and ask her to come in. When I hung up the phone call she approaches me, lifts the cans away from me and declares "you can't have those, I have to take those back. I can't serve anyone with you because you have no ID".

    Duck off lady. I wouldn't mind her being so rude if I snapped first or was aggressive with her for not serving me but I didn't react, it's not even not being served I'm fuming over it's how rude she was about it. I did snap when she informed me I couldn't get anyone else to buy them and snatched the cans back though I told her to get over herself, as if I'd be buying 6 cans of Guinness for myself, no skin off my nose Hun I'll go to the carry out

    @ Lexie - I'm trying to grasp what the logic might have been from the perspective of the checkout woman... lol... Did she think she was saving some poor young one... From a 6 pack of Guinness...!? :P

    Maybe if you had a bottle jack Daniels, and a couple of Smirnoffs under each arm... :D

    Seen on a fridge door in a takeaway in Bray with prices:

    Can's
    Bottle's


    Oh, and "begging the question" does not mean "posing the question" - something which a large number (never 'amount') of journalists seem to believe it does.

    I vacuumed the house from top to bottom. Cleaned the floors.
    Place was all spic and span but I left the back door open and the neighbours cat wandered in, walked around the place and decided to have a wee nap on my couch.
    Got the shock of my life when I saw him here and because I am allergic to cats I now need to re-vacuum and clean the place. Urgh.
    If I find he pissed anywhere I will be going postal.

    On a similar annoying cats theme, my cat walks along the perimeter of the fence in the back garden, from there hops across on to the oil tank in the neighbour's garden and then patrols the roof of their garden shed on a regular basis as it gives her a vantage point for hunting prey. The neighbours are now doing some building work at the back of the house and have blocks of insulating foam piled all the way up to almost the roof of the shed.

    So up she hops on the roof of their shed as I'm looking at her out through the window and she's deciding whether she'll jump from the shed right onto the blocks of insulation with her paw out judging if she can make a clean jump. My heart was in my feckin' mouth because the blocks would come crashing down with her on top of them and sending other equipment flying too in their garden. I'm thinking "Oh please no, just get off the bloody roof". Then she seems to use her better judgement, decides against it and jumps from the shed back into my garden, and strolls nonchalantly back into the kitchen a few minutes later with a look of angelic innocence as I carefully insert my heart back in my mouth.

    Vogue Williams- attention seeking NOBODY who would go to the opening of an envelope in order to ensure people don't forget who she is and all of her interesting opinions. Heres a headline for you Vogue- nobody gives a flying fcuk about you, you are NOT a celebrity, you have ZERO talent and you are not even slightly interesting. Fcuk back to obscurity where you belong.

    My dogs...I really like them but they take up so much mental energy and so much time.

    One is a rescued dog, shakes like a jelly at the slightest noise and is an escape artist. I've got makeshift barriers sealing off the escape routes at the moment after her last break out. The other dog is like a miniature racehorse and has knocked one of the vital barriers down when she jumped it. I'm not supposed to lift heavy things for the moment and she is whining to go outside..when she gets into the enclosed bit she whines to get past that into the formerly safe, sealed off bit. She is plotting another rural adventure.

    This:
    Other person, "you know that fella who did that thing"?
    Me, "Mick, who built his car?"
    Other person, "No, you know your man with the red hair"
    Me, "Mick who built the car has red hair"
    Other person, "No, ohhh what's his name"?
    Me, silence
    Other person, "I remember now, Mick, I couldn't for the life of me remember"
    Me,:rolleyes::cool:

    I sent the teenager to the shop with a list for a few things. She came home without the carrots for dinner yet with a tub of ice cream that wasn't on the list.
