    The headphone jack on my new headphones doesn't fit through my phone case.

    I just got into work and opened a door by pushing it away from me, as soon as I pushed it open, the person on the other side just came barging through even though there wasn't enough room to do so and didn't even thank me for trying to squash myself into the wall to let them by.

    TA resurfacing memories of mortifying things.

    I can't stop yawning today, that in itself is a TA but every time I yawn my eyes water a little bit and now after several yawns I look like I've just had a bit of a cry lol

    Not sure if I'm tired or coming down with something.
    I don't want to be sick.

    *Rings bell* ''bring out yer dead!" There's something going around at the moment. I never get colds/flu I just get pneumonia to make up for it, or become a medical mystery, on death's door.

    TA When you find a grocery shop that sells in bulk but as usual their supplies came in plastic and they just decanted everything into nice glass containers. It's an exercise in codding yourself that you're doing good and it's expensive. Plus, I have no use for lentils or polenta.

    Panda threatened to fine us if we are not upstanding citizens who seperate our recycling correctly so I was super careful this week. My reward? They collected bins this morning and the driver gobbed a saliva soaked chewing gum onto my driveway. Don't think its the consumers that need manners put on them. Stay classy Panda.

    Lunch with a CEO of another company today, so clearly had to have one of my best frocks on. Having lost 10 kilo, I am officially half way to target which is great however this now means that I am between sizes. So all of my dresses are either from before I got fat or after I got fat, meaning the former are still too small while the latter are now too big. I am literally between sizes :(

    New and Improved Flavour!!!

    No, don't mess with anything. I hate new and improved. Because they never end up improved, in fact, these items are often far inferior as a result. Don't fix what isn't broken.

    Case in point - McDonells's Super Noodles. (i know, trash food, but i used to love them). what are they improvements? Reduced size from 100g down to 85g. And they taste nothing like they used to. They are horrible now.

    Lucosade is now half full of aspartame.
    remember when they changed the Mars bar flavour? They aren't anywhere as nice as they once were.

    Has there ever been a case of "new and improved" where the changes have actually been better? I've yet to experience it

    When I say "10 o'clock" and not "around 10", or "10ish", the "o'clock" should be a dead giveaway I ACTUALLY MEAN 10 O'CLOCK, MOST DEFINITELY NOT 10:35!!!!!!! My life doesn't revolve around your frankly very flexible, careless schedule!! At the very least, if you realise you're going to be late, have the decency to phone/text/email me and tell me!! It's almost a habit with you!! Show some respect, FFS!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Every morning some absolute filthbag monster, who doesn't even work in my department, comes and uses our toilets and the smell left behind fills our whole floor for at least an hour. I am not exaggerating in any way, it literally smells like I'm working in the sewers for an hour.
    Until I realised it's a regular thing, I was going out into the corridor every morning asking "wtf is that smell?" but now I know,it's dead bumhole.

    TA The way Irish has been cannibalised. A map is now Mapa, and car is Carr or something.
    I can't find the proper word for a fox other than ''Madra Rua''. Surely that's not the original.

    I used to be fluent in Irish, now I barely remember anything. I thought that helping the kids with their Irish homework would be a breeze but it aint.
    This annoys me.

    I never had opportunities to use Irish in conversation (and made no real effort to keep it) and I miss it now. And in the meantime it seems to be changing beyond recognition to make it easier or something. I think it just makes it so bland. There aren't enough people like the poster Fuaranach to mind it for me.

    Ctrl + Alt + Delete - Task Manager...end task.

    Pop up box: The program is not responding.


    I f**king know it's not responding you bastard, that's why I'm closing the bloody thing.

    Find the process, and use the End Process Tree option :) Kills it instantly 60% of the time all the time.

    I wish I wasn't such a nerd sometimes.

    ^^

    A while ago I mentioned to someone that I couldn't stand that Richie Kavanagh guy and they said " ah but he has had something wrong with him, ME or something like that"

    Well I'm sorry about that and all, but unless he has some sort on mental deficiency that would excuse his dress choice and his songs, I still can't stand him.

    My friend is partial to ''Bang Bang, Rosie''. ^

    Could be a TA.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,573 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    Looking for a particular item only available in a UK chain chemist here, approx 14€ (ie €13.95/£7.95)
    O/h sourced it locally at about 7£ (on the face of it)cheaper in central London. I needed 4 of them.
    So off I head to amazon.uk, I get the 4 items I need at the uk price, postage and bulk discount(1£) and fx rate, arriving next week at........HALF the price it would have cost me to buy them here!
    TATA'ed wtf!
    TA'edx2 as its not even close to the 1st time this has happened.
    Parcel arrived today, a full 6 days ahead of schedule and still half the price!

    Went for lunch today. Had to carry my plate down and go back up to get the water. Had my hands full and was sitting down near the back cause I'm anti social, so I'm walking down carrying my tray and there's this scrawny little child about 7, tiny little thing and this huge **** off bow on her head. She looked like an Xmas gift you'd find in the pound shop approaching Xmas. TA 1.

    Just as I'm walking back with my water she's DOING A ****ING CARTWHEEL. An actual literal cartwheel while her mother sits there beaming. She said "oh sorry" to me in a not very sorry at all tone but I wouldn't expect any better from a woman who'd put a bow like that on a child's head.

    Who the hell lets a kid cartwheel in a (bar/)restaurant?! ****ing dope of the highest order. I don't even care if i look like a thick grumpy bitch, save your child's gymnastics for somewhere she's not a liability

    We had a beautiful fresh cream sponge cake in work today but I was late back to my desk and got the last slice which was so skinny it was see-through...hope the others all put on a stone after scoffing the big slices.

    Also can't understand why Lexie was unimpressed with little Chardonnay's display,sounds like such a little sweetie.ðŸ˜

    Walked into a low hanging branch. Gave myself a shock and got wet.

    Similar thing except child was told by mammy to practice his Irish dancing in the doorway between the cafe and corridor. And yes one of the staff was put flying while mammy ignored the whole thing.
