Well, it was actually "Go and fcuk yourself, you little prick":eek:

I just saw the front page of the Irish Times, the above remark could apply to him as well.

If I had blown at him he would have fell over, never mind a punch:D

Skanger backup would come to the rescue. If you're a good runner that won't not matter though. You might try and video them with your smartphone if you're brave enough.

Why are youngfellas so plug-furkan-useless? I had a seized, stuck old ball-cock valve in my water tank the other week, so I said to a local youngfella - a qualified plumber - that there was a few tenners in it for him if he'd pop up and change it. I had the new replacement, tools, etc. if he was short anything. So up he goes to the attic, and comes back down a few minutes later completely flummoxed. What the actual Cheeses-furk?? Turns out he only ever did "large-scale installations", which I take to mean spending the day soldering the same joint on a hundred different radiators, all identical, in one of these Pyrite-sodden Modern Bijou Urban Living things. So I did it myself, in about twenty minutes, which is what I should have done in the get-go. Cheeses wept...

Not sure if I'm annoyed or amused by this one, but the usual morning conversation you're expected to have. Not being in the form for such nonsense this morning:

Me: A barely grunted "Morning"
Colleague: "Good Morning Disco, how are you, fine thanks, and yourself?"
Me:

I'm not a woman but I can vouch.

Yes, sometimes it really is that much trouble.

People complaining about other people's babies. Especially complaining about them posting pics of their kids on Facebook. I like children, I think babies are cute and I'm generally happy for new parents. But there seems to be a rash of people complaining that "No-one is interested in your smelly child!"

Well, I am. The grumpy feckers can just scroll past the pictures.

Guilty as charged

(although one or two photos so you can look and say "ah cute, happy for them, must start thinking about doing that before I dry up" is fine - I draw the line at the following: baby yoga, placenta smoothies, baby sign language, militant "dont you dare criticise me for breastfeeding" posts, pictures of bumps and ultrasounds and gushing posts from Grannies who ought to know better given they too have lived the novelty of procreation who shout about the child being "amazing, the best in the world" etc - yeah yours and everybody else's it seems... I'm all for competitiveness but how can one ever truly say their child is the best when nobody is willing to concede that theirs might be thoroughly average??

Those ultra competitive "professional" runners who show up to charity runs in all their running regalia, treat it like an Olympic qualifier and take the fun out of the Fun Run.

At the weekend my club were staging a cross-country run (6K or 10K) and as I was injured I lend my hand stewarding. I was stationed at a high fence which was about 10 feet high, where I basically had to assist people over it if they weren't able to climb over it themselves. There was a crowd of teenage girls sort of developing at the fence and I was moving them through as quickly as I could. The majority of the girls were helping each other out too and had definitely only entered the race for a bit of fun and to support the club. Next minute, one of these aforementioned runners came charging towards the fence, shouting at a seven year girl who was in his way, and without due care to the other runners, leapt over the fence in one foul swoop, nearly knocking down a couple of the girls in the process. Just so he didn't add a second or two to his world record. Wanker.

I've just heard that every laptop power supply in the company has to be PAT certified every 6 months - it's a joke.

I work in the design industry and the phrase "The Client Is Always Right" is the biggest load of shit EVER!

If today wasn't the last day of the working week for me i would be firing the fucking phone out the window!

CLIENT: I’m not too sure about the blue on the homepage…
ME: Actually, that’s a shade of green.
CLIENT: Who’s the paying client* here? (*prick)
ME: You.
CLIENT: And what colour is it?
ME: …eh, blue??
CLIENT: Right. Now let me see what other shades of blue we can use.

*Facepalm!*

FUCK OFF!!!

Water is clear.

There is a shade of green called sea green it is irrelevant anyway. The colour on the site was green, i cant match it exactly but this is close:

Ahh here, you know your stuff Cowboy about monitor calibration and color correction and reproduction, and you still let this guy tell you that you didn't know what you were talking about? There's a better Picard moment for this than the facepalm meme -

We're fully stocked for booze since yesterday. We haven't had a drink since the weekend before Lent and things are getting a bit tense:D Roll on Friday night, lots of Gin and tonics and a family size bag of crisps:)

Rude/inconsiderate people. I was in the post office yesterday and there was a girl of about 19 ahead of me on her mobile, she didn't even acknowledge the man who served her, she was so busy talking sh*te on her phone.

I was in Limerick this morning and I lost track of the number of drivers who take the pi** at traffic lights. There were the ones who just drove through red lights and those who just stop right on the pedestrian bit when the light turns red:mad:

That's before I even get started on the mouth breathers who can't seem to tell left from right, who stop right in front of you, so that you almost bump into them. The ones who barge through the crowd so aggressively that you get bumped or elbowed and the ones who'd rather go through you than around you.

God, I really need a very large drink:(

Calibration/Browser resolution etc is irrelevant, im designing the site and can see the name of the colour im choosing! it's a dead give away when it says "green" in the title. it would be like me going in to a butchers and saying give me some of that lamb while pointing at steak.

Ihatecuddles · 17-04-2014 04:01PM

I'm doing a 10 day de cleanse, basically you make different smoothie type stuff and have 3 a day. Clears the system and whatnot.

I want to eat soooo bad!!!
