    my daytime name is unlike my screen name which with the dearth of detail I put on here, has the same delaying effect as I typed about before.

    Do you have a nighttime name also? Bredade? :D I kid.

    My son waking up at 4:41am this morning (his last few teeth are coming through, so we've had a few tough nights over the last few weeks), and deciding that the best course of action was for us to both go downstairs and watch Planes (then Finding Nemo).

    And also, Daddy was not allowed to go asleep on the couch either!, and if I did close my eyes, it was met with an immediate slap in the face (you know the type, when your falling asleep in a bit of a haze, and a slap from a toddler feels like you've just gone 12 rounds with Conor McMayweather)

    Also Daddy was not allowed to have a blanket on him.

    Yeah, TA at that!!

    Your son wouldn't be out of place torturing people in Guantanamo! Sleep deprivation techniques, physical abuse and depriving you of basic necessities such as blankets! :D

    The (sub)standard of English used in the media today, especially radio, but all are guilty.

    The word "thousand" seems to have been banned, it's always "grand".
    Price increases no longer exist. They are "hikes". Every cost that is higher than it was before is a hike, even if it only rose by .001%.
    People no longer pay for things. Instead, they "fork out" or "shell out".

    Pat Kenny's desperate attempts to look hip by using this kind of slang-for-English substitution are particularly egregious. During a recent interview he persisted in talking about firms going bust, by referring to them as "going wallop". He must have been particularly enamored of the phrase because he used it at least four times. Another day I heard a couple of instances of "Kapow" which was meant to refer to...I can't remember what. By the end of it I was having flashbacks to old Saturday morning Batman episodes.

    Give me strength...

    What it says on the tin basically, my sibling who is a "girl" and 1 being older than I am.

    TA, dog who was barking all night, stretched out on the tiles fast asleep, while I try to work on less sleep then she's had.

    Grand , thanks for clarifying what it says on the tin , I would have assumed saying older/est sister would have done the same job .

    TA at my apparent lack of reading properly .
    Have a nice TA day everyone :pac:

    When you have to write down some information for someone and the person dictating, proceeds to blurt out half a paragraph of information without stopping and then asks ''did you get all of that?'' when you've just finished writing down the first line.

    HATE drying my hair.

    TA that I can't bear having unblowdried hair :(

    TA the fear everytime I ask for a blowdry that I'm going to ask for a blowjob

    Men blowing hot and cold. I'd expect that from a woman, not a man :mad:

    Hunger after a few scoops last night but have to be good.

    Making countless cups of coffee and letting them go cold.

    People who think a worrry or problem isn't a real problem unless there's children affected

    Driving too fast? "There's a lunatic driving too fast. I have a child in the car"
    Have to wait in a que? "The que was ridiculous. I had a child with me"

    And when they start a story or there's a story reported
    "Mum of two caught speeding"
    " As a mother of two, I can honestly say.... (rambles into a story that has really nothing to do with her reproductive skills) **** off

    Argh this so much! If a dog attacks another dog or animal - "what if that had been a child?" - it fúcking wasn't though was it? I mean, you might as well say that about anything. Someone drops a plank of wood onto a piece of concrete - what if that had been a child?! Someone kicks an empty can - what if that had been a child?! Someone takes a **** in the toilet bowl - what if that had been a child?!

    TA this post has made me so irate :P

    Or the people who ask for your some information, like your phone number, and then when start off with "087" they blurt in, interrupting, with 'hold on, hold on, let me get a pen here' - would you not have thought of getting a pen when you asked me for my number?

    Antiquated advice online. A simple google search for why he has become distant throws up all sorts of feminist bull**** about playing hard to get and not scaring him off and making him feel...wait for it...wanted but not needed. FFS :mad:

    I made carbonara from scratch for dinner and it was delicious, but I'd say I'm a stone heavier after it.
    Also TA'd that Pudsey the dancing dog died. He reminds me of my ball of fluff. TA'd that I can't handle it when any dog dies.

    It annoys me when I hear people on the radio or the tv pronouncing Ireland as Areland.

    Do you know, this reminded me of people who say "oh but I'd never smoke near a child" ah yeah, but the rest of us have to fucking suffer your disgusting habit instead! I have chronic asthma, I don't need your secondhand smoke in my lungs thanks!

    That's not trivial. All the best with dealing with things.

    I've tried to ignore a medical condition for the last 4-5 weeks and for the last week I've known I needed to go to the doctor but it has seriously kicked off this evening.I'm in serious pain and don't want to go to south doc and trying to figure out whether to ring in sick in the morning (which I never do),go in and go out sick or suffer on until after work.
    I know it's my own fault but why does pain always kick off at night and why do I always leave things until it's too late..TA'd at myself and knowing that I'd be mouthing off if anyone else left it this long in such pain.

    If anyone is going to visit me in hospital(I've diagnosed myself and it's serious😂) please empty the lucozade bottle and fill it with the grape drink.

    Call in sick in the morning, go to the doctor and get yourself sorted. If you have to go into hospital I will come and visit, taking advantage of you in your weakened state :D
