I have started passing the tissues to him and saying blow your nose ffs The worst bit is I sit there all tense waiting for the next 'back-sniff'.

I've been buying the English magazines for 14 years and I regularly skim the Winners section and I can tell you, I've never seen one Irish winner. I reckon if they pull a ROI resident out of the hat, they pick an English winner instead cos it's less hassle.

My OH has appointment to see the "downstairs" doctor, so that morning, extra long shower, a bit of a tidy up "below", nice fresh undies and off to the doc. All that effort, and what does the doc do? PUTS ON A PAIR OF RUBBER GLOVES!!! The nerve of some people.....................

You have to come up with a reason you have them in though...although depending on the person sometimes I do just say "I can't be listening to you eat". My family and close friends know it just makes life easier for everybody

The funny thing is, I don't mind the sound of someone slurping their tea, but smacking lips is grounds for justifiable homicide! I was on a packed Luas yesterday and there was a couple near me eating the faces off one another. Headphones not easily to hand, so I nearly puked.

Coming home from the school and a parent was letting young kids run ahead and they ran into me, I wiped my coat off and rolled my eyes and shook my head in a "control your kids" passive aggressive manner cause I'm a bitch like that, the mam goes "wait til you have kids love, you want be so precious about looking perfect then"- eh I do have a child, she's in school on time and if she wasn't she'd be holding my hand not running around while I lag behind because I'm too lazy to be a parent.

Why do people just not let it go and accept that not everyone wants to have children We have 4 cats and a foster kitten, we're happy with that:D
