    I bought 8 chocolate bars in a discount store today and can only find 7. Now I am doubting I picked up 8 at all, but am sure I did.
    I absentmindedly sat crumpling the sheet of wrapping paper I bought through the carrier bag while chatting to someone.
    I'm so tired I want to smack someone.

    Earphones that keep falling out of my ears. What is the point in giving me earphones that keep falling out of my f***ing ears?

    If I say hello to you, bloody say it back you rude little b0ll0cks. I really don't know why I bother wasting my breath. B1tch.

    The crappy iron burned a hole in my trousers.

    A child used me as a human tissue today. Lovely.

    I woke up feeling more tired than I felt going to bed (yet again).

    And their solution? Take away the cords so when they fall out you lose them permanently and also charge twenty times as much.

    Everyone and their cousin all of a sudden being into gin and making sure you know about it. It's something your elderly aunt would have sipped on 7 years ago. ''sorry do you have xyz tonic instead, it's just this one is a little dry on my palate?'' Fcuk off Samantha.

    "I don't like gin and tonic"

    "Oh you just haven't found the right gin and you've probably only had schweppes tonic water"

    -.-

    I want whiskey or a pint. And don't go fcuking up my whiskey with your fancy shyte. Pour it into a glass and get the fcuk away from it.

    Is there anything to be said for a little dainty umbrella in it? Makes it feel like Carnivale. You're right though, was in Cork a while back in this bar and they had a cocktail special, 2 for price of 1. So we said ok give us a mojito each (hey, we were on holiday). This absolute hipster shytebag starts 'creating' this artistic yoke which ended with him unveiling the drinks from underneath one of those metalic domes they have at fancy dinners in films, I dunno what they're called. I was like yeah I wanted that drink 15 mins ago. Oh and there was all this dry ice steaming up and away from it after the unveiling and I felt like a dzope taking it off him.

    Women in the office late twenties/early thirties complaining about having to work and moaning that if their husbands worked harder and could get better jobs then they, the women, could stay at home.

    I mentioned it before in this thread I think, but since the arrival of Leo it's raised its head again.

    The convenient use of the word 'undocumented' when they should be using 'illegal'.

    It drives me mad too. They are not undocumented. They have documents. Just not the right ones.
    It's like they are afraid to refer to them as 'Illegals' as that diminishes the special status our government thinks they should have compared to, say, the mexicans.

    Yes!

    I genuinely think folk who can run with iPhone ear phones in are evolved humans.
    Mine would fall out if my ears had the temerity to twitch a fibre.

    TA I read that that eejit uk radio presenter Tim Westwood posted his credit card on Snapchat telling the woman he's going on a date to use his card to get her hair & nails done and a wax. EWWWWW ! creep


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    Why do I keep doing this?
    IM'ing someone.
    I meant to say 'Are you busy?' and instead said 'Are you busty?'.

    Well that's a far more important question to be honest.

    He's turning 60 this year!
    There was a clip going round of him recently too cracking on to some US singer. To say it was awkward would be an understand.
    Son of a preacher man too.

    TA'd he's still around, hadn't heard of him for years before that video.

    TA;

    Flying home from Birmingham on Friday, and going through the fast track security queue (don't hate the player, hate the game). Usually when the fast track line is quiet, they'll let a group of people in from the regular queue, to help speed things up for everyone. Just as I got around to the screening area, they'd just let in a Hen party of about 7/8 Brummie gals!! Q a big conversation between all the girls on what was and wasn't allowed through in their bags, the amount of plastic bags they were allowed to put through, and a nice chit chat about all the trivial goings on of that day, and the plan for the weekend in Tenerife, and of course a bit of a bitch at Gemma who decided last minute she wasn't going!

    10 minutes later when they were all finally in a position to walk through the metal detector, after separating all their stuff, putting their plastic bags through etc.. the went through, followed closely by me.

    EACH AND EVERY one of their bags was pushed of to the side for additional checks!!! Despite them each spending 10 f**king minutes going through them separating what needed to be separated!!!

    I was already pushed for time, and really didn't need this sh1te.

    Spent last night and this morning puking, stupid acid reflux. Had to call in sick so I don't puke on everyone. Now, do you think it would be a good idea if I opened a bottle of wine? :pac:

    There's a beehive on the external wall of my girlfriend's house within "flying distance" of her bedroom window. When the weather is good it's a hive of activity (pardon the pun), and quite often bees that have been rejected by the queen end up in her room, where eventually die, with bodies strewn around the window sill like some sort of apian version of the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

    Anyway, naturally we have developed quite an "awareness" of their presence in the room (the low droning noise starting off when they are caught behind the curtains or whatever). And so I put on a t-shirt to wear in bed last night and was sitting up having a quick browse on my phone when I felt a sharp sting between my shoulder blades. Didn't some militant bee somehow end up in the shirt and decided to exact retribution on me for disrupting his sleep. Cue the usual panic when he landed on the sheets and the subsequent search for the suspect as I made him a martyr.

    Having to walk all over the freaking house to pass along info, cause deaf *&^%, in denial of hearing loss.
    If I didn't do it then, I would forget and there would be a hissy because I didn't say before.

    That's surely deserving of compensation from the bedroom owner.

    It's a TA cos I can't figure it out...

    Just got a leaflet in the door from Iceland (the shops), now a quick look at Google maps tells me the nearest shops are 81 and 85 Km away. I believe they sell mainly frozen and chilled foods. I can't see many people from this neck of the woods going that distance for frozen stuff.

    I got one before from them announcing shop in Galway about 110 Km away..

    More recycling
