    Slipping on wet leaves. Nothing serious but enough to make you look around embarrassingly to check if anyone saw.

    The only real upside is that it’s not dog ****.

    These modern day singers/bands who just mumble or shout so you actually can't make out the lyrics.

    I’m after getting myself into a warm comfy little groove in bed but now have to get up to use the loo :(

    Stopping at a pub to watch the second half of the liverpool/city game and seeing how some 'fans' behave. Jesus christ, lads standing up roaring at pep Guardiola on the TV with such personal vitriol.
    Still happy with the win though
    :)

    Ranting Woman Alert!
    Fed up that someone I trust(ed) has let me down (again). If they’re going to mess with me why did they do it on a Monday morning!

    It's hard to find nice jumpers. I steadfastly refuse to say Sweater.

    People with weird habits in public places. Had a young lad at work clicking his thumbs really loudly while humming to himself walking in the corridor this morning. Just why?? Don't mind the humming bit but the annoying really loud clicking :confused:

    Had a previous housemate who would **** and blind at the TV, was funny actually. Have to admit to doing it when Ireland are playing in a big game in the rugby.

    Why do clothes iron manufacturers make it so hard to see the water level in the iron?

    Ironing my shirts last night and it is downright impossible to see the level without holding it up to a light and twisting and turning to see it and only at a certain angle.

    People who pull into your lane and park up to let's say use an ATM machine but leave their driving lights on...

    On these early dark evenings I'm seeing it more and more.. your blinded and there's traffic coming against you and it's a hassle trying to negotiate around the car..

    Use your park lights and stop blinding/obstructing oncoming traffic..

    Highway maintenance trucks, we don't have highways in Ireland. I was driving behind one earlier and was almost expecting Adam Ant to jump out of somewhere and ask me to Stand and Deliver, phwwwooarrr! :)

    People complaing about the weather. It's mid November, this happens this time of year every year. Put on a coat and **** up.

    Many Barbers that do appointments now put so much emphasis on the "Call to book an appointment now and avoid quing"............. I booked a day & time last week and turned up for it. Sat waiting for 15 mins listening to the ladladlad banter from the barber and the chap in the chair. Two lads came in after me and when the other barber in the shop was finished with his customer, he signaled for the lad that was after me in the queue and says to me that he doesn't do the bookings :confused: I says to him that the other bellend isn't even finished, it's been 15 mins at that stage, "Nah sorry pal I cant n'nall, he does the bookins" was the response I got.

    WTF is the point of having an appointment system if the person that does the bookings, takes walk in's before booking and takes he sweat arse time and having a great aul laugh. Dreg.

    When somebody gets a Christmas job and they complain about being around Christmas stuff and listening to Christmas music!

    People walking around Dublin city at rush hour looking at their feet instead of in front of themselves.

    No, the rain this autumn/winter is not the norm, at least on the eastern seaboard. As a former keen year-round cyclist, Ireland is not as rainy as people think it is. So this wet spell is out of the ordinary.

    When you get to teh lovely spot in your coffee,where you can actually drink it.And someone asks you a question.Just why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Every time I broach the suggestion of not doing presents for Christmas this year with the family, I am labelled a grinch and whatever else. The thing is we have a family wedding on NYE, and with the added premium on hotel rooms that time of year* (its too far away NOT to stay over), coupled with the usual money in the card, and the fact that it's my fifth wedding this year, I cannot see the point of spending even more on token presents. Besides, we are all grown-ups able to make our own life choices.

    Oh and when a 31 year old man says he doesn't want anything for Christmas, he means it.

    *I know I could go air B&B but my mam block-booked rooms in the venue well in advance.

    I feel the cold so in winter I usually wear a pair of leggings underneath my trousers. I got a lovely pair of faux fur lined leggings in Penneys which are wonderful :D

    I was looking to buy a new pair of jeans and they were all skinny :mad: I am a size 16 and a pair shape, which means I have a sizeable ar$e and even if I was a size 8, skinny jeans do not look good on me. They had no bootcut or even straight cut jeans. I looked in the tracksuit section and that was even worse. They are massive at the top and tight at the bottom and for some reason, the trousers ride up over the ankle, exposing it to the cold :rolleyes:

    I couldn't find one pair of trousers that suit my shape and I'd be able to wear leggings under. If I'd have known this was how fashion was going to progress, I'd have stocked up a few years ago when clothes were normal.
