    TA at myself I had a lovely dream that waitrose were opening in Dublin and I got excited. I was annoyed when I woke up and realised it was just a dream

    Grown adults who call themselves "bloggers" because they've 400 followers on a social media account and take photos of their dinner. If it wasn't so pathetic I'd feel bad for them. Also, those kind of bloggers trying to piggyback on the success of others.

    TA by brand influencers and influencers in general. Lexie is spot on when she says they piggyback on other people's success also I feel it's greedy and grapsing for free stuff

    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?

    Or politicians ��

    People who feel they have to comment if you happen to be carrying a bunch of flowers.
    "Oh, you shouldn't have hahaha"
    I feel like saying "can't stop to chat, I'm on the way to visit a dying relative, now fcuk off"

    Was just going to say this!

    Influencer? F*ckin influencer? Is that a title you give yourself? If so, you are a c**t.

    If not, who gives you this title? Is there a college you go to in order to qualify for this? Do you get letters after your name? Tara McUpmeownhole B.Inf.?

    Or is it just someone in your little circle of self indulgent, self important shallow weirdos?

    And who is it that you're influencing? Well, no one, of course. But who is it that you think you are influencing? Who is it that you think is so incapable of deciding what shoes to wear (or whatever other nonsense you decide you are expert enough in to lead the masses) that they need you to influence them in the right direction?

    This goes far beyond trivial annoyance. Absolute, absolute spanners.

    I've got a lung infection and the meds are starting to break up the gunge in my lungs :(
    I'm just hoping they will shift what I think is a sinus infection too. #fallingapart

    TA that the beautiful truth blogger uses far, far too many exclamation marks and also, for someone who's a teacher, her grammar is fairly ****. I'm not unfollowing her because I like her!

    The dentist. TA'd at myself for booking it in the morning & making myself miserable all day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    TA when I realise that the bottle of wine has a cork. Even more so when the cork busts up and there are bits floating in my glass.

    I have a wedding reception to go to tomorrow evening and I have a sore lump come up on my chin. I am blaming it on the recent hot weather :(

    I hate washing up by hand and the Fairy liquid refuses to make decent bubbles and goes all flat instead. The water goes cold really quickly too and I have to keep topping it up with more hot water.

    The expressions
    "Gives me the feels"
    "Gives me life"

    My TA nearly every day recently is people who comment and 'give advice' on every aspect of another person's life. Just go away and mind your own bloody business.

    This rounding up rounding down bull****.
    It's optional, and is a good way to get rid of small change apparently. It gets rid of 1 and 2 cents. Again, let's remember it's optional.

    This evening I stopped for fuel and it came to 48.02, I bought an item in the shop and it came to 49.07. I handed in 50.10 because I didn't want to get back a load of coins in change. The girl was a bit rude and handed me back a Euro change without saying a word and walked away from the till once I got my change. Instantly I was fuming. Correct change was 1.03. If she was using the rounding system she shouldn't have taken the extra 5 cent instead leaving it at 49.05 but she took the second 5 cent coin for 2 cent and didn't think to give me back 3 cent so it's the principal of the thing.

    I went back to my car to get my phone and I googled it. I was right. So I went back in to her to argue over 3 cent. I put it in the poor box but it was the point of the matter.

    It reminds me of another incident in a shop my price was rounded up by 2 cent (to do away with 1/2 cent coins) to an even 95 cent and my change was given as 5 1 cent pieces. If you have one cents then give me back correct change.

    It drives me demented and I know I look like a physco going mad over it but I can't help how I feel, it really is TA

    The sneaking suspicion that companies are using LGBT pride to promote themselves and appear "on message"

    I spent €8 on a new nailvarnish and it's the most boring nailvarnish I've ever seen. I have granny nails now. Effort of taking it off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    If it's a neutral colour maybe pop a pastel colour over it?
    I love putting a light coat of pink over beige nude colours, or maybe an accent nail with glitter?

    My TA is myself, and notebooks. I seem to lack the capability of writing on one page and moving on the the one following it. I wrote that day whichever page opens first, and is not an issue til the notebook is about half full and I'm looking for someone's number or email address to contact back and I've to flick through and look at pages in detail til I find the corner of the page I'm looking for. Each time I buy a new one I start off with great intentions. On the first page with the date writing in a straight line. By the end of the month it looks like a frog in a blender

    I've gotten caught like that with varnish that looks pink but ends up pale peachy colour..hate it.

    I don't know if I have a cold or am I developing hay fever..pain in my ears,sore throat,very bad headache,my eyes are stinging,sneezing and feeling totally ****e...why does this happen on the weekend ffs,I don't think I'll have the energy to have a drink later and I've been very good food and drink wise since Tuesday.

    Another TA...I got a cut on the top of my foot the other night,yesterday I went for a run and when I went to take my socks afterwards one was stuck to the cut and I had to peel it off and it took the scab aswell (sorry about the TMI),after my shower I forgot about it and sprayed foot spray on it..stung the life out of me.

    I'm really good friends with a "nail technician" (yes, that's what they're called!) and she does my Shellac for free every two weeks, so my nails are always done. Which is great and wonderful and lovely, except that she uses me as her guinea pig to try out new colours/styles. I actually love them at the moment (neon pink and glittery, a kind of fade style) but a lot of the time they actually look a little bit ridiculous and over-the-top. I mean, isn't it crazy that neon pink and glittery is actually subtle compared to the way they usually are. I'd feel terribly ungrateful though if she knew I thought that, and I do get lots of compliments on even the more bizarre styles she comes out with! They're just usually so not me though!

    Years ago a neighbour of ours always said that her husband was "attached to CIE "..he was a bus conductor which was a very good job at the time but she was a bit of a Hyacinth.ðŸ˜
