I somehow fail to see you as a person that could be so mean to strangers to the point of making them cry/upset them for the rest of the day.

*not that upsetting your loved ones is excusable

I really hope that post is a joke :eek:

regardless, I should have made more use of that situation. Seeing as her whole family believed it too.

Cravings. I'm off junk food and booze for lent, it's a good excuse to break bad habits, at least for 6 weeks. But I'm having cravings for coke(the fizzy stuff:D) and it makes no sense as I'd only ever have a glass of it once in a blue moon

I'm going to explain myself here jic as I seem to be very confused and also confusing today.

1. Unfortunately there really are people, who can be so mean. My friend works in a coffee shop and came home one day totally shocked by a behaviour of a customer, who made her workmate cry. I'm not going to go into details because it still infuriates me. I myself worked in a customer service and came across some proper arseholes, was close to tears once. (On that note it's fair to admit those were very rare cases, I dealt with really sound people mostly).

2. I don't think you're that kind of a person. (= horrible horrible b1tch).

What is it with sellers on Amazon uk that don't ship to Ireland? I wanted something and it wouldn't deliver here so I ordered it to be sent to the Antrim Parcel Motel instead, then I got an email saying that they don't ship there either. Jesus, so much for global trade. I ended up having to order it elsewhere and paying more for it.

Also some UK businesses have now started excluding the Antrim Parcel Motel from their free UK delivery area:mad:

Royal Mail are more fussy now about what they will ship via air/ferry, so depending on what your buying the seller may have to use a private courier instead which probably costs them more.

Wannabe screenwriters who have never read a comic until several years ago when asswipes teaching "masterclasses" about breaking into Hollywood told them comics get looked at before screenplays. Then these tapeworms want someone to draw over 50 pages for them each page taking at least 14 hrs but never offering payment, asking professionals who have been paid by publishers before to do THEIR uncredited writing "for the love of the project". While whining on twitter pages that protest writers being as unpaid as asked 2 work "for the love of the project. C0ckless and cl1tless hypocrites.

Not sure of the details but...
'Half heard it on Joe' 'Some delivery company' are trying to charge 'a man' tax (I think initially charged to them by the Irish Govt.) on a parcel/gift of football jerseys from the U.S.
He's freaked! Reminded me of Mick Lally's 12 days of Christmas song. Ffs Gobhnet, will ya give it up? These gifts are costing me a bleedin fortune!

Draw your own conclusion.

People who think someone with modifications on their car is automatically a "boy racer".
90% of us are car enthusiasts, not twats boring holes in exhausts and driving everywhere on the red line
Some of us take pride in spending money on our cars
Especially the "lower class" (lowered cars) who can't drive fast because of speed ramps and deep potholes and humps in the road
Eg
Opel corsa with cheap alloys, cheap speakers and a leaky exhaust = boy racer

Seat Toledo with €150 lowering springs, €600 alloys, €300 spoilers and countless other mods = car enthusiast

>:(

Seems like drawing conclusions for other people isn't working for you, Try drawing them for yourself, Oh I don't know, I'm sure you'll come up with something novel. of your own. Do I need to be any more graphic?:)

You mean like already having had my writing and novel original characters and dialogue accepted by one of the oldest and more respected publishers in New York. Unlike snotty writers who can't seem to do so, thus seek artists and actors as crutches because they can't get an agent or film desl on their own, as you suggest. Mainly due to gormless lack of originality which mandates they have to use someone else to give them a leg up.

This statement excludes all Irish writers however so please don't get the snifflysnarkies with my posts on this thread. There is less than 1% you've been around anyone I've referred to.

Guy got on the bus tonight with a roll with garlic mayonnaise, ham, onions, jalapenos and tuna salad. Whole bloody bus was filled by it.

It was delicious though.

Great twist at the end! Never saw it coming.

I mean tuna salad with garlic mayo?!

My trivial annoyance, went onto a friends Facebook page, he got married. His profile photo is of him and his wife on their wedding day. I've never seen 2 people looks so depressed. Smile FFS!!!

I was planning on a cheap roll but apparently the ham meant I was paying 4 quid and the tuna counted as a salad rather than a meat so yeah, if I'm paying for it anyway. :P Turns out it was really lovely.

I never get ham in a deli, more of a spicy chicken person! And stuffing, red onion, mayo and sometimes sweetcorn.

Starving now

I've been thinking to buy one of those dearer ones (can't think of the brand name at the moment) that are built for the wind, not sure how effective they really are. It's either that or some sort of a spacesuit like rainsuit :mad:

I don't fancy 'raisin d'childer' for a few more years. I'm sure its just a case of my mother looking at her life and getting teary eyed and nostalgic and all the good times being a broke, single, Irish immigrant, raising a child in London brought

Best thing for the rain is a paper. Or so I'm led to believe looking around Limerick. Its strange to see tourists dressed for the Irish weather but Irish people wear shorts and black leggings

Paper, love it.

Shorts & flipflops = the less you wear the less clothes gets wet, you just have to wipe the water off the rest.

It's actually quite a common phenomenon that the tourists or non-nationals are better dressed for the weather than the native folk. Might be because the Irish people are well used to it and aren't bothered by such trivial things like wet feet etc.
