    Yes. Exaggerating syllables of the actual word rather than for example, Bow Wow for a dog or Guggy for an egg. ''Look at the fluffy sheep!'' in an engaging tone is different to ''Wuck at da fwuffy-wuffy sheepy weeeepy!''

    I still call eggs guggies :o

    So I booked a glamping stay in Killarney for the wedding anniversary with the missus (well the anniversary was last month). Anyways, got there and the place was beautiful and the facilities were class. Then the neighbours start having a party, I get a text from the owners that the party is an 18th and apologies for any inconvenience. I was in a tent while there was an 18th birthday party in the garden right next to me with a massive sound system and a tent of their own. They only shut up at 1am when someone called the guards. The owners told me that they will refund me the money for the trip but I am still more that TA'd and I'm tired. Inconsiderate ****.

    Can I stay in your place for free then? Sound ;)

    Oooh missus;)

    After handling garlic, wash hands in cold water, and rub with a lemon if you have one. If you wash with hot water, it "cooks" the garlic, making the smell stronger.

    TA at people trying to scrounge accommodation off me! ;):D

    Stainless steel neutralises the smell, you can actually buy stainless steel "soap" for this exact purpose. Also works for smoked salmon which is really difficult to get off!

    My apologies, I thought your initial post was some sort of euphemism :)

    I actually know the owners of the place! They should absolutely refund you :p

    Everyone seems to be away on holidays and not around for drinks tonight, cept me.

    I got my smallest dog Molly neutered this week. Because she's so small, I didn't want to leave her with my other two while I was at work in case they jumped on her and ruptured her stitches. So I've been taking her everywhere with me. The three dogs are normally together all the time and my male dog Jamie who adores Molly was not happy that I was taking her away every day.

    I came home yesterday and gave Lily and Jamie loads of cuddles. I went into the bedroom and they both jumped on the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and was giving Lily cuddles when Jamie came up behind me, cocked his leg and proceeded to wee on my back :eek:

    I went up to the sitting room and discovered that one of the dogs (probably Jamie) had wee'd on the couch :eek: :eek:

    Well I guess that's me told :pac:

    Thankfully by next week Molly will have healed enough that I won't have to take her everywhere and I won't get anymore protest wee's :D

    T shirts that shrink in length the more they are washed.
    I was wondering why the dinner was taking so long then realised I had the oven at 170 instead of 200:(

    Went out for food this evening, not in great form so wasn't in mood for it. Didn't like anything on the menu so ordered a portion of mash, a portion of veg and gravy. It arrived. The gravy was in a boat, and the potatoes were in one side dish, the veg in another, and no plate. When did a young one have to resort to requesting a plate in a dining establishment?

    People who set out to cause you hassle or ruin your day :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Ah jaysis. The whole lot will have to come back, if they find stuff like that. It's ''contaminated''. It was in the news recently. Enough of that and maybe they'll stop offering the service :(

    I threw it into the rubbish. Now he's going to think I'm a freaking weirdo.
    TA being the only one who gives a crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Another thing, I broke out in an allergic reaction on my face and it looks like someone burnt all my skin. Can't put makeup on now as it might make it worse.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 24,473 Mod ✭✭✭✭robindch


    My TA People using ''baby talk'' to children. How are they expected to learn to speak properly and to develop a vocabulary?
    Amen, friend.

    That and parents talking about themselves in the third person - "mummy wants her phone back". And medical staff referring to "baby" in the third person.

    Nurse: How is baby this morning?
    robindch: My newborn child seems to be great. How is nurse?
    Nurse: Uh, are you asking about me?
    robindch: Did I mess up using the medical indefinite third person?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 79,730 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    What's even worse to me is the Medical "We", as in, "And how are we this morning?" "And now we're going to change our pyjamas and our drip". No, either I am going to change MY pyjamas and YOU are going to change MY drip, or if I'm in such a bad way, YOU are going to change both MY pyjamas and MY drip.

    And then you have a person on a bar with " and can I get a pint of Guinness as well.."

    "No! I work here, I'll get the pints. YOU can HAVE them"

    :pac::pac::pac:

    On that note, TA'd at people who post cute video's of their kids/pets and add subtitles in the third person, as if the video was posted by the child/pet. Even more TA'ing when the pets refer to their owners as "Mum" and "Dad".

    I don't have kids. I do have a lot of pets though and I could talk about them ad nauseam to any one who will listen but I know how to do it without inducing actual nauseousness (or so I'd like to think :P).

    Count yourself lucky, my full head of bonded extensions as well as colour and cut sets me back €700 a pop twice a year :o

    I am Ta'd at myself, my hair do's normally cost only €80 (extremely good value) for a cut and colour. I used to work in accounts (now I am at home full-time), when it comes to spending money on myself I do a rough calculation as to how many hours my husband has to work in order for me to have, for example a hair cut which really annoys him.

    And also it tastes nicer from a bottle.

    And nicer again from a glass.

    Want to wear a top knot. Put top knot in my hair. Look like a sumo wrestler/feminist

    Dublin broke me last night. Feeling worse for wear and the chinese isn't open for another 15 minutes.

    Quit smoking on Friday. Felt amazing...no cravings whatsoever, felt incredible yesterday in the gym, just so surprised by how I'm feeling.......til today when I realise I have a horrible sore throat, cough and cold.
    I would like a spicebag and some wine please.

    I quit a few times before managing to get off them completely. Every time I'd end up with a dose of something after a few days. It'll pass before long and you'll feel much better :)

    Thanks. If there was ever any doubt in my mind I just keep thinking of how much more energy I had working out after only a day..imagine how I'll feel in a month.

    TA'd that I have horrible scratchy tissues and my nose is like a baboon's arse.

    Off them ten years...after numerous failed attempts. Stick with it. For the first six month off them I coughed like an asbestos miner.
