    Don't normally post in here :D But does anyone else find it incredibly annoying that every song which was popular in the past (even if we're only talking about a year ago!) now has its comments section on YouTube completely and totally clogged up with "Anyone still listening in 2017?" "2018 anyone?" "Thumbs up if it's 2019 and you're still in love with this song!" etc etc etc.

    Nobody gives a bollocks, I want to see what people actually think of the song and not what year ye all happen to be watching it in, FFS :D

    In fairness, YouTube comments sections have always been clogged up with irrelevant sh!te, but at least there used to be some variety. EVERY song with more than a few hundred thousand views on YouTube is now 99% "Listening in year X, anyone else?" and pretty much no other commentary at all.

    Went for a run in the beautiful park near the house for the first time this afternoon and stupidly forgot to put on insect repellant. My poor legs are destroyed

    She doesn't even look human anymore.

    Remember when the backing dancer tried to remove her cape on some award show and she fell down the stairs? :D:D

    That’s was classic! Like a train wreck I couldn’t tear my eyes away from. :D

    Those mini gelatelli cornettos from Lidl. Why did I buy them?? Impossible to eat just one. Don’t even want to think about how many I’m after eating

    She got back up though and finished the show.

    People at work swearing oaths that they're going to raise a stink about their situation and then completely caving in the meeting about it.

    Sure it'd be more mortifying is she just lay there.

    Kettle of water.
    Open tea pot.
    Open tin of teabags.

    Kettle of boiling water ends up in the tin of teabags instead of the teapot.

    Edit: My TA is in fact the way I start talking like people in TV programmes I watch. Watched 2 episodes of Hardy Bucks last night, then this happened.

    I so hated myself when Friends was big.

    TA that my boyfriend will wash up for bed and spend a good while in the bathroom getting sorted but waits until he’s under the duvet before he unleashes a massive fart

    Lolz.

    It’s his digestive system adjusting to the sudden horizontal position apparently or something sciencey and stuff ... (this is why I don’t teach Biology anymore and stick to maths :pac:)

    My trivial annoyance is on RTÉ1 at the moment. Brendan O'Carroll's quiz called For Facts Sake. Apparently it's the last episode, so that's okay. I escaped the rest of them...

    Not sure what 9-pointed means in the spammer thread.

    I think it means I'm in love!

    Caught behind a tractor on the way in to work this morning on a part of the road where any slow moving vehicle causes a tail-back to develop due to a lack of safe overtaking spots.

    I genuinely believe tractors and other farm machinery shouldn't be allowed on busy thoroughfares before 9AM. The evenings are longer this time of year any way so its not like they are in a massive hurry.

    I went shopping yesterday evening for supplies for the weekend. When I got home to cook, I realised that I bought no food to cook and just bought loads of junk food.


    Included in the junk was bog standard jam doughnuts. The jam is not seedless. What f*cking madness is this. I'm very upset about it.

    Being asked to contribute to gifts for people who are leaving the company. In my time here I would estimate over 100 people have left. This is with a total staff of about 50 at any one time. Half of them I barely knew or remember their names:(

    I once got asked to contribute to a gift for someone who was moving to another department, 15 feet down the office. How I laughed.

    Not getting paid right from work. I only got paid for around half the hours I actually did :mad:

    That's not trivial, that's theft (unless you weren't asked to do the work).
    You need to sort this.

    I’ll be going straight to the manager when I’m in tomorrow. Think there was issues with the clock in machine so perhaps that’s why, but there’s absolutely no way that I’m letting it go
