    The Christmas tree is drooping and every so often I hear the thud of a decoration dropping off.
    I have the gob burnt off me with Habanero sauce.

    LMB, maybe it's the Irish accent. I used to confuse the greengrocer on Oxford road by asking for fruit by number not by weight. I hope you get sorted go wise. My TA is public officials who can't be ar°°d doing their job. Jesus, couldn't even send you an email. FFS.

    I've put cleaning stuff in my dishwasher and it's running now.
    It sounds extra loud for some reason. Like really super extra loud.

    Worse is when it is abbreviated somewhat.

    Imagine how irritating or would be if I signed off as P-Man. I might try it in a few sub threads, adding in a middle nickname for good measure!


    Pac "is he a model?" Man

    Pac "he must be an athlete" Man

    Pac "skin like an albino angel" Man

    Worse is when they write their post above a post. Why? It takes more effort? :confused:

    Decided to take the shortcut to the shop through a kind of grassy lands and now I'm covered in muck! should have just went the long way!

    Why are pistachios so fiddly but delicious? You can't eat them with one hand. Opening the shells leaves you with a sore thumb. A couple of the shells are always impossible to open. A couple of the shell pieces always fall under the table or something and then get sucked up by the hoover and block it up.

    Everytime I send an email to that complete idiot I work with, I get questions that are answered in the email.
    "Oh what's this about?"
    "And who is it in relation to?"
    "And what do I have to do?"
    "And who is it for?"
    "And when does it have to be done for?"
    "And who am I to give that to?"

    HOW DO THESE FUCKING PEOPLE GET JOBS???

    TA, No Storm thread on After Hours, it's getting bumpy out there tonight.

    Today is green bin collection day in my estate. The amount of absolute ass-hats who put theirs out last night :mad::mad::mad:

    Strategic incompetence. The idea is that you'll eventually leave them alone, stop asking them to do stuff, and go do something else such as jump out a window or put a gun in your mouth. :D

    'Elanor is much worse than Ophelia! They overreacted to Ophelia and underreacted to Elanor! Why didn't they warn us Elanor would be so bad! Elanor kept me awake - sure I slept through Ophelia!' ad nauseum.
    Yep, the storm is stormy alright.

    someone on my road did that to us a couple of months ago.

    Rented house and obv one of them was moving/had moved out.
    Three black sacks dumped into our bin.

    So I got all CSI (with my Marigolds) went through them all, found a chinese delivery receipt and took great pleasure in dumping 3 torn bags of sh1te onto their driveway (in the middle of the night)

    ahh bisto.

    To be honest, at this stage, I think you have a crush on them. :)

    Speaking of garbage chores (no pun intended), but there's nothing worse than when in the process of recycling, your hand touching some unknown liquid at the bottom of the bag. Happened to me at least twice earlier. Ewww.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Not very patriotic of me, but those commemorative medal ads. Is there anything they don't try and cash in on? Who actually applies to get that shlte

    Why are there still hotels without plug sockets on each side of the bed?
    Why?
    We've been using mobile phones for 20 years now. Almost every hotel room in the world has been refurbished in this time and it's still really, really common to not have sockets on each or even any side of the bed!

    I actually think it's a health and safety thing to prevent fires caused by mobiles on charge under pillows etc.

    I've been loads of hotels where it was obvious they were trying to avoid having sockets beside the beds, so this is how I've come to this assumption. it must be deliberate.

    But many hotels do have sockets by the bed.
