    Stupid online reviews
    The only thing that doesn´t make me put a 10 is the fact that you have to make your own bed.”

    It's a goddamn hostel and you're paying €17 for the night. Of course you have to put the bed linen on. You want hotel service you pay hotel prices

    The rain is fairly feicing loud out there! And there's a howling coming from somewhere but I don't know where! It's not windy out from what I can tell.... Ah maybe it is I don't know.

    I worked in a company and 2 of us worked in HR, both named by the same name but differentiated by size. I'm on the petite side.. So we had "little" Northgirl (me) and "big" Northgirl... Can't imagine she was loving it.

    Getting the train into work earlier, I may have sat in a seat where the previous occupant had p!ssed themselves. Wasn't obvious at first, in that there wasn't a puddle there, but the stench kept coming in waves

    "Previous occupant"? Yeah, right :P

    Without coming across as an old man yelling at a cloud, but manners seem to be a thing of the past among the younger generation.

    Getting lunch yesterday in Five Guys in Dundrum, and I was laden with shopping bags. Halfway through my order I had to call the GF back to see what toppings she wanted (I was unfamiliar with the system in there). Had left the bags on the floor throughout the process, and in the mean-time a group of young wans (early teens) had gathered at the till pretty much breathing down my neck. Not one even had the gumption to give me room to pick up my bags, instead just stood there stock still on their phones.

    And don't get me started on them congregating right at the door of shops, blocking the way and oblivious to the situation. We have created a race of zombies.

    Why I oughta!

    Constant interruptions in the office and no respect for 1. people trying to work and 2. people who are brand new in a job and the most simple of tasks are quite cumbersome. :mad:

    I often wonder if parents teach their children manners at all these days (obviously some still do).

    Then again, every generation has probably said the same about the younger generations.

    The follow up calls that I'm getting from insurance quotes. You kinda have to put in your correct phone no. in case it's a good one.

    I get the impression the last person didn't believe me when I said the they were almost €400 more than my renewal.

    Burst my ass to get to my hairdresser appointment on time. I HATE being late so was literally in a sweat that I was ten mins late. She then plonked me on the chair and left me sitting there for fifteen mins while she made herself a coffee and chatted to other staff. I wouldn’t mind usually but I’m so anal about time keeping. She then handed me fancy editorial magazines instead of trashy mags. Wtf?? I wanna read about the bride who married a ghost and left him for a goldfish, or see how Kim Marsh has decided to decorate her conservatory this Christmas. Not this notioney crap!

    Christmas party on Saturday (and it's a biggie - overnight in a 5-star hotel, black tie, the works) and I woke up this morning with the beginnings of a sore throat. Since then it's devolved into sniffles, a whopper headache and that awful feeling where it feels like you're wearing weights on every limb.

    Thanks, universe.

    The trend in the last decade or so of couples getting married having to outdo each other in wackiness and craic.

    For a long time it was people getting months of dance lessons so they could show off with their mother in law on the dance floor, or recreate Dirty Dancing, or do a flash mob. All for the video to be posted online and go viral. How clever.

    But this latest one, the link of which I got on the Indo website, takes the f'ing biscuit.

    A Donegal couple have made a film, yes a film with shotguns and zombies etc.

    When an emergency vehicle zooms past with siren blaring and blue lights flashing, and all the thickos stop whatever they're doing and have to watch until said vehicle fades from view. What in the name of Bonaparte's balls do they expect to see/hear other than an emergency vehicle with siren blaring and blue lights flashing?

    Our doctors waiting room used to have nothing but the super glossy lifestyle mags available; Tatler and the like. Bad enough to have nothing interesting to read with him flaunting his missus' lifestyle which my €65 for a couple of nano-seconds has helped pay for. Lately they have a much better selection of magazines, including National Geographic.

    The best waiting room ever was our solicitors: Time, Newsweek, National Geographic and, the icing on the cake, an aquarium. You could have quite a nice time there. Just as well because the bugger kept you waiting for ages...

    As a Napoleonic Wars buff, I really should have come across this expression before, but I don't believe I have, and it's made my day. :)

    If your cold timetable is like mine you should be out of the snotty zone by then and into the blocked up zone, which is still a pain butmuch easier to function with. Tip: Vicks Vaporub.

    Came home and the dog had ripped open a bag of ground fennel (amongst many other things) and flung it around the entire downstairs. The house reeks.
