    Ffs aaahhhh I'm so annoyed I want to scream. My sister is visiting from London so last night we had wine. Charlie (my parrot) knocked a glass of wine over my laptop. Now most of the keys in the qwerty row don't work. Only the q does but how often do you use that?

    Im not on social media but I do use boards daily. For the first time ever today I tried to log onto boards via my mobile and it took me 7 attempts because I couldn't remember my password :o

    Another sister lent me her iPad (which I'm typing from) and while I'm grateful I want to throw a tantrum that would put a 2 yr old to shame.

    I have no tv. Now I have no laptop. Wtf am I supposed to do ?

    *ya I know, first world problems but when it comes to first world problems, this is pretty big!

    Today is one of those days when I wish I could be someone else, just wake up as a different person, or start everything all over again.

    My car is ****ed. BMW want 96 euro for literally just bringing it in to be looked at. It's a bank holiday and I'm going to be carless it looks like.
    The garage is dirty, smelly and freezing and honestly, I know it's an extreme over reaction but Im pure fed up of the entire situation, I'm haemorrhaging money all week.

    A woman sitting near me is chasing a lump of toast like it's a concrete block. She's diving at it with her mouth open. Degenerate

    I am "triggered" (hate that word) by the perfume I'm wearing. It reminds me of when I went for a job interview and didn't get it and now I'm annoyed..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Car broke yesterday. Car was still broken yesterday evening. Car was still broken this morning. Took time off work to bring car to garage. Started broken car to bring to garage, car no longer broken. Brought broken car to garage. Left broken car with mechanic. Walked back to garage 2 hours later to collect broken car but at least expecting a diagnosis. "There's nothing wrong with it, there's no faults"
    Car is trolling me

    ohhh nasty, I get that sometimes too, mostly with music/a song. Smell fresh coffee grounds if you have some handy, to cancel it out, it actually works ! (they had them in Sam McCauley's last time I was trying out perfumes)

    I'm TA with the first days and symptoms of a head cold, godabbit.

    I bought a fake floral headband to complete my Halloween costume. In the picture on the packet the flowers sit neatly on top of the model's hair. When I put it on they stuck right up on top of my head, I looked like a ridiculous cupcake. TA'd I didn't remember my "try before you buy" rule.

    I have a very dry scalp! :(

    Anyone know of a home remedy?

    I have two possible contenders; a bottle of body lotion which I mistakenly bought before and a bottle of rapeseed oil which I use to fry my eggs.

    There's Sudocrem here too. I feel that's the wrong choice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Dry scalp, is it psoriasis? I use dovobet for mine.
    Sillicocks base or an emoliant is very good, sleep with it in and was out next morning. Coconut oil.

    I don't think it's psoriasis. I used a different shampoo which dried it up. I just need to get it back to normal.

    Thanks I'll try coconut oil.

    Oooh stealing those tips. I have lumps like scabs (soz,gross) on my scalp and the internet tells me I should go to the doctor to find out what’s causing it.

    TA at my hangover. My voice is hoarse too so I sound like a man.

    Went to the cinema and bought a bag of Maltesers. Sat a few seats in from the edge and put my coat and the bag on the seat beside me. A guy came in later and sat at the very edge. When the film started, I moved into the middle and the guy moved in too.

    A few minutes into the film I went to get the bag of Maltesers but couldn't find it anywhere. Searched all the pockets of my coat and on the ground but it was nowhere. Looked over to where I was sitting and I saw the guy subtly reaching down underneath his own coat and sneaking a sweet into his mouth. Bastard!

    We were sitting near the front so I didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone, so I kept giving him a dirty look everytime I saw him eating one to try to guilt him into giving it back to me. Never happened.

    When the movie was over, I was walking past my first seat and saw the bag of Maltesers on the ground. My bad! Sorry random cinema guy for giving you dirty looks during the film.

    TA that I was bloody starving throughout the film.

    The fact that everyone seems to end up apologising in the media these days, no-one has a sense of humour any more.

    Example, Michael Gove, a Tory MP in England cracked a gag on the Today programme on Radio 4. I found it funny, the host laughed, the audience laughed. They all found it funny.

    Asked by the presenter John Humphrys whether interviews on Today could make politicians look silly, Gove replied: “Well, I know what you mean. Sometimes I think that coming into the studio with you, John, is a bit like going into Harvey Weinstein’s bedroom.”

    Now come on folks, it was a funny line from a stuffy MP.

    But he spent all day apologising for it.

    Whats the world come to.

    Get it in Aldi,it's really cheap and a fab conditioner also for your hair.

    TA that I was just about to post a big post on the Happy thread and chrome f*ing went down again,happening all the time for me now,,so f* annoying.

    Also went into Vodafone today due to the storage issue with my phone and when he was going through it Boards was open and I thought he kinda lingered on it a bit too long..mortified if he's a boardsie and knows who I am....have to say that I'd definitely be up for a pm from him though ðŸ˜

    That Allianz ad with the blind one doing the Marathons. Fair play to her, but could she not pronounce her "th" for this?

    I've discovered there is actually such a thing as too much pizza.

    I also woke up with a hangover this morning. Was I in the pub last night I hear you ask. Yes. I was. But I only drank a rock shandy. What the f*ck.

    What are you dressed as? A sumo wrestler? I can't think of any other fat suit Halloween costumes.

    My TA is that every weekend isn't a long weekend.

    Well I'm very TA again today, not a good day.
    Discovered the cat all battered and bruised after yet another fight (happened before, there's an evil Tom cat bothering us, out in the middle of freaking nowhere, like he didn't have enough territory to roam already).
    He'll be grand I hope and I had the vet on the phone, but now I have to get myself and the kids up and head to vets half an hour away for half nine in the morning, and it's going to cost a bomb of course a bank holiday week-end.
    And my nose is still running like a tap with the accompanying aches and pains and cottony head.

    Flipping bah flipping humbug !
    I love him to bits of course and wouldn't let any wounds fester.
