I just whacked someone who thought the best place to stand and take a phone call was directly behind the door into the office stairwell. You'd want to see the egregiously wounded look they gave me too.

Mandarin oranges. They are always hit and miss. Just had two there. One was gorgeous, the other one was horrible.

"Easy-peelers" that are anything but.

Don't talk. The 12 pubs crowd will be out and about soon with their poxy xmas jumpers. Roaring like eejits and puking all over the place.

The painfully slow Revenue website. Trying to reset my password with about half an hour, no joy

TD Mattie McGrath had to clarify himself earlier when he said the "fat lady hasn't sung yet....." when asked about the 8th amendment committee earlier.

TA'd that we as a human race cannot use well-known turns of phrase anymore without been deemed sexist/misogynist/un-PC

Damn feminists and their agendas are creating a dangerous culture

Oh dear God!! Just googled that.

As a fat lady who given enough gargle and a karaoke mic will sing badly for eons I think this is bol****s!

We have our first real Christmas tree this year and I am gutted that it doesn't smell all piney. It smells of absolutely nattin '

Christmas tree decorations that no matter what way you put them on the tree they twirl around so that they are facing the wrong way.
I was standing on a chair to hang a decoration and nearly fell into the tree. I righted the chair again at the last second with my leg but I am going to have a fcuker of a bruise behind my knee.

That time of year again - how can some car insurance quotes be 50-100% more than others?
I have decades of clean driving, some are so mad (4 figure sums) I'm getting anxious that my present insurer has made a mistake (better pay up quick!)

Don't.......

Hi Corners
Here's your quote.

Me , can we have a look at that quote? Seems a bit steep.

Insurance girl , eh well , we haven't got our rates sorted out .

Me , you just have me a quote.

Insurance girl , could you ring back next week.

I rang back .

Lots of " er, um can I check that quote out " from insurance company.

"You certainly can " says me.

Good news , Corners get a good quote.

Hangs up , goes off in car , car breaks down. Mechanic says it's fatal , car is dead.

TA , feckin' December.

Corners get car loan, New car picked.

Mechanic rings back "erm , I looked at your car again , its not fatal".
Car is now repaired , Corners has a couple of grand in bank.

Ah you got that email too, it's just your tax credit certificate for 2018, nothing interesting. I also spent absolutely ages trying to login and resetting passwords for both me and my husband. The website is terribly slow.

Listening to Fairytale of New York then hearing the fcuking PC brigade singers have changed the lyrics to a masterpiece of a song.

Alf Veedersane · 13-12-2017 10:48PM

Can it not just be the 12 pints lf Christmas and if thats in just one pub, so be it?!

That Ed Sheeran version is hard to listen to. It's one thing to remove the word that rhymes with "maggot" but they've gone and changed "slut on junk" to "gal on junk". I really think the bitterness of the two characters is part of why people liked the song (stands out against the usual all-cheery Christmas songs) and they've just completely defanged it by making it G-rated.

Isn't it funny sometimes when you forget how to spell when doing written exams and your paper is full of scored out words.

spent a lot longer than I should have reading a thread that I thought was about something else.
I just clicked one of my subscribed threads. it didn't make sense. I went up a bit down a bit , reread it a few times . still total confusion.
eventually read the thread title and realised

Went to bed at 10 delighted with myself, i needed a good kip with this cold bugging me.

WHY have I read any of the articles and comments on the abortion referendum?! Literally makes me indescribably angry.
"Prolife" people saying it's a step backwards. Eh no, that's actually exactly what it is not.

I don’t think we need to bring the referendum in here do we. More than trivial

I don't know why people think I'm foreign... I used to be asked all the time when I worked in a shop, to the point that the other staff were thinking of getting a map of all the places people thought I was from. Now complete strangers are asking me as I go about my own business! It's not that it's offensive, but it's a bit cheeky and weird. Even if I wasn't Irish (which I completely am, as far back as records can tell), being asked out of the blue if I was foreign as I am trying to get into my car is odd. I don't like interacting with people unnecessarily as it is!

bnt · 14-12-2017 09:18AM

I have a mobile phone with which I'm generally happy, but when I use the charger that came with it, I get a message "Device charging slowly, use the charger that came with it". This doesn't happen with any other charger or a PC USB port, only the charger that came with it.

Driving in this morning listening to the weather report "....and the current temperature is 2 deg Celsius"

I look at the dashboard and it says "3 C"

I grew up in the UK and so have the associated accent and just a few days ago I got "your Prime Minister, Theresa, is f**king up Brexit eh ?"

Erm no my Taoiseach, Leo, is actually playing a blinder!

I'd understand it if that was the case, but we live beside my grandparents and that house has been passed down for hundreds of years so not only am I not from a different country, none of my direct descendants have settled anywhere other than the top of this hill :pac: That's on my mother's side, my father also only lives about half a mile away from his home house.
