    I won't suggest you watch Requiem for a Dream

    Though here;s the music from it, its been used to death since.

    Nah, I prefer Opera or Classical. That sounds like a poor man's Nick Cave:P

    You've made me curious now, I may just have to download it, since it's ranked 9th on 50 most disturbing films ever.

    Requiem is excellent.

    Packing for holidays annoys the cr*p out of me. Packing for myself is bad enough, but when you have to pack for 2 kids as well, Jaysis Mavis.

    Trying to buy a new phone. Google decided theres something wrong with my payment method and needs me to send ID and a bill to confirm who I am. Thought I would just buy from amazon then but theyve jacked up the price by 70 pounds. Used another google account so will see how that goes.

    EDIT: New annoying thing now. Seems like Im going to have to try to gather all the forms for them. Tempted to just buy another phone.

    I LOVE packing. I love it so much, that we're moving in 6 weeks and I've been packed for about 4 already :o

    I already have my suitcase packed for my honeymoon, in 7 weeks :o

    That there's not enough butter in those little sachets you get in hotels.

    Amazons sneaky exchange rate. I almost forgot to place my order in pounds this morning. Amazon have a scandalous sterling to euro exchange rate. I bought my husband a new mobile he wanted as an anniversary present. No idea what it is or what features it has, I just got him to add it to my wish list on my Amazon account.

    Also I had to agree to him getting me an Easter egg, even though I really don't want one, as he feels guilty about not getting me one since he found the one I got him. :mad:, I don't want an Easter egg.

    Consider two scenarios:

    You buy a kebab. It's amazing but it's leaking sauce everywhere.

    or

    You buy some fried chicken and it's also amazing but it's finger food so your fingers are sticky and its kind of messy......



    Wait a second ... what the heck ..... For one of the messiest types of food ever created since the dawn of time they only gave you like 3 mini sheets of napkin paper, each an atom thick to wipe your mess....even picking it up in a desperate attempt to wipe sauce off your chin results in maximum soakage just from the natural oil of your finger prints.... thats actually not a trivial issue at all. It's really annoying in fact.

    Solution:

    Lick all your fingers clean, with the palm of your hand wipe your chin, lick the palm of your hand clean. Lick your lips and hold your arms out as if nothing should ever touch them again, think for a few moments and then realise your only option is to continue sucking and licking on your fingers, finally wipe your face with your sliva soaked hands and re-lick your fingers.

    Pros:

    You get every finger licking drop

    Cons:

    Not the most sophisticated thing to do! but fun all the same.

    So much annoyance just because of an egg, I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing :D Pumpkinseeds stop being so stubborn and take the egg, hide it and give it back to him next year! :eek: :pac:

    When you're eating with a group of people and the etiquette is that you wait til everyone is served before you begin eating but some people tuck in as soon as their plate arrives, you're there watching your food go cold while waiting and the others are enjoying their hot food but its rude to just abandon etiquette at that stage so you just wait it out full of resentment :pac:

    ****ing alternative medicine/Big Pharma conspiracy ass holes!!!!!!! (hmmm I may have already mentioned this in this thread previously now that i think about it:P)
    Why I find it less than trivial today is that my estranged Father in law is literally being slowly killed by his Crusty German partner.
    He has a rare form of liver cancer which he was, of late, doing very very well against. My wife visited him the other day and he has seriously relapsed. He is so ill that he should probably be in hospital but his idiot partner has convinced him that her concoctions of nettles and herbs and such are better for him and that he is better off removed from "Commercial medicine".
    Wife literally pleaded with them to get into the chemist for some invalid/high calorific value food as his weight has plummeted and then to get to The GP NOW (She has a medical background and knows what she is on about).
    One week later and this has not been done, the herbal, honey, cinnamon and nettle crap is still going in and crusty has him on sports drinks. Sports drinks are just about the best way to kill someone with a liver condition!
    Christ i honestly feel like machine gunning every crusty in Leitrim!!!!!

    And to bookend this post. Father in law has about 2 weeks left, is going into a hospice and dumb bitch is blaming Big Pharma medicines failings. Not one course of treatment was finished due to her herbal meddlings. **** me!

    Urinal Etiquette Test

    I don't think there's an equivalent test for the ladies, but I suppose you could substitute the urinals for stalls :D
