Not The Annoyingly Trivial Things-Bitches be cray cray week.

Lying in bed and I plumped up my pillow, ended up punching myself in the ear.

It's going to be that kind of day!!

People talking in the cinema when you're trying to watch a film

And the cinema is so bloody expensive!! I wish these morons would give me some of their money they clearly have to burn!!

Was washing my hands before I went to bed last night. Noticed that the water in the hot tap was almost boiling. How can it be so hot I asked, I haven't put on the heating at all today as it's so mild. Then panic struck. THE IMMERSION. I roared it out at the top of my voice (Des Bishop would be proud of me) , bounded up the stairs to the hotpress and the switch was on. IT'S BEEN ON SINCE LAST WEEKEND. I nearly passed out. All these thoughts going through my mind. My next electricity bill is going to be ginormous, I'm going to have to cancel that weekend break away in two weeks time, I'm not going to be able to afford some classes I have taken up, am going to have to sell my furniture. I'm going to have to return those boots I bought last Saturday and get the money back.

For the life of me couldn't find the yokey that opens the door at the side of the house so I could read the meter. I had to have a brandy. Hardly slept at all last night. Woke up depressed.
Found the yokey that opens the door of the meter this morning so I got a pen and paper (cos the kw count was going to be so high I was going to have to write it down, no way was I going to remember those kind of figures). My heart was beating as I opened the door. Took down the figure. Looked up my last bill which was read two weeks ago and based on actual reading. Subtracted new figure from old figure - still looking at it.....is that all it's gone up sez I......only 80 kws since the last bill.... i work it out...roughly 14 euro.
Did I dream all that last night... No I had the brandy after I discovered the immersion was left on. Wasn't a dream.
OK 14 euro is 14 euro, but feck sake did I age years overnight over the IMMERSION.

(Please don't somebody post that I've worked it out all wrong......)!

@bottlebrush.....to ward off such TAs

That's a brilliant idea Crowded House. I have an electrician calling next week to fix something else and I'll see if he can put that in for me. I can't be relying on an immersion switch stuck in the corner of a hotpress that I can't even see when I open the door. Even if it had a red flashing light I still wouldn't be able to see it.
Thanks again!

TA that even though it's so mild, there's still no drying out!

Listening to them horrible c**ts In Fianna Fáil talking about how they are the ones leading the way in the recovery erc etc... blah blah blah,

Brian cowen’s brother up on the stage spouting absolute sh1te.

Any other country and they’d be consigned to history like the fu**ing Nazi’s

And it's being shown on 2 channels. RTE1 and News Now. What a way to spend your weekend. Sitting in a hall listening to waffle from some bunch of mopes who think they have the solution to all the country's troubles.

TA Not a clue whether to buy in extra supplies now, in preparation for the strong storm/hurricane that might or might not come, or leave my money in my account for the purpose I'd planned for it.
If it does come, the roads will be blocked by fallen trees so you can forget nipping to a shop for milk or teabags.
I was going to buy dinner ingredients each day, so I haven't got that in stock.
At least I just fitted a new bottle of gas to the cooker this week. 'Cause the power could be out for a week, like it was after Darwin. Oh feck, the dog ate my candles

Bottlebrush your TA gave me a much needed laugh I'm glad it wasn't too bad.

Well when that storms comes, at least I'll have plenty of hot water!

The dog is wrecking my head.
Following me EVERYWHERE, rubbing his wet nose snots on me, snuffling at my legs, and when I put him out to have a run around he rolled in mink shít.
He's going up on DoneDeal :mad:

In Lidl today looking at the foil wrapped cake 400g for E1.39,
then looked beside to see the XXL version 25% extra free 500g version for E1.79, how is that FREE?


Even Leo got bored at the budget reading and started picking his nose, anyone see that?

Leaves. Everywhere. Big TA of mine.

No point sweeping them up, there will be plenty more where they came from, especially after this storm on Monday.

Very TA not knowing whether it's reasonable to go to work or stay home in a hurricane. Or ex hurricane. You could be a reckless eejit for travelling, or an eejit for letting work down.

Dublin bus:

People who don't know how to queue. If you have a leap then stand on the right, cash on the left. Don't queue on the wrong side and then stand there stopping everyone else behind you from getting on.

Busses that are full. I stand on the quays every day and watch busses go past because they're too full to stop. The busses I do manage to get on are packed. 10 minutes later they're half full. There's at least 10 busses that go in that direction. Most are half empty when they go past. That means the days I wait for an hour to get a bus, half the people on my bus could have gotten any of the other 9 busses. I know they're just getting the first bus that will get them home, but I'm standing in the rain.
