    Try ramming your nuts in to a pair of jocks a couple of sizes too small:eek:, you spend the rest of the day rearranging the furniture:D

    Try one a couple of sizes too big. It's just like freeballing, only without the guilt. :cool:

    The line "I know you better than you know yourself" always gets me grinding my teeth, I don't like when people assume to know what you're thinking or going to do.

    Allow me to translate: "I am a presumptuous, self-absorbed oik who assumes that my own peculiar set of hangups, prejudices and fears are present in normal people." :D

    Paying 23% VAT on items coming into Ireland from outside EU. The final cost after An Post wack on another €6 for the laugh is €47.79. You try to hand the Post man a €50 note and he tells you he doesn't have any change so you'll have to collect the package down at the post office (once he's back from delivering post of course) later on in the day.

    Forgot how annoying it is getting stung for VAT!

    The essence of the "debate" on Prime Time between the opposition and the coalition political parties whether it be on health / justice etc. When it comes to governing they're still all the same. SHOYTE:mad::mad::mad:

    That programme What Women Want was on in the background last night. I don't usually watch stuff like that, but it was just background noise while we were chatting. It really was absolute hokum and Pi**ed me right off.

    They had Mike Murphy's daughter on having a Vampire facial, without the anaesthetic. It's a proceedure where they draw blood from your arm, treat it and then inject it in various parts of your face:eek::confused: Anyone remember Red Sonja from the Conan films?, well that's who she looks like and tbh she seemed to be getting off on the proceedure.

    Since the plastic surgeon doing the proceedure stated that he thinks women need to start having proceedures done from the age of 21, I will state that I wouldn't take beauty advice from a fat frumpy man who looks like a pin up boy of middle aged men who have really let themselves go.

    Then there was more crap between the presenter, who had her hair tied in a pony tail and some other woman who had long hair that looked like crap, about how women traditionally cut their hair short after getting married as it's our way of saying we don't need long hair to tempt men, now that we're off the market:confused::confused: I turned it off after that, absolute Sh*te:mad:

    People who put words in your mouth, I've gotten better lately at calmly saying, no that wasn't what I meant...and then going on to make my point.

    They probably know you better than you know yourself. Just hoof them one in the Delicates and move on. :pac:

    Black refuse sacks - does anyone actually use the bit of 'string' that comes with them or does it end up blowing around your house/yard like me ?

    I was in a cafe recently, settled at a table, ordered, then walked up to the counter to take a newspaper from their stand. As I did so, a woman seated at another table said something to me. I didn't catch it the first time, and she repeated 'salt', gruffly, indicating the salt cellar on the table she was sitting next to.
    She was much nearer to it than I was. I've no idea why she was ordering me to get it. I just took the paper and sat back down.
    I'd be the first to help anyone, but really thought her manners were a bit lacking.
    She had to get up and get it herself, and was well able to do so. Weird!

    In situations like that, I usually pretend I think it is some sort of game, and respond with something random like "fruitbowl, now, your turn"

    That show sounds totally stupid and why would *anyone* inject things into their face? What is wrong with some people???

    I must remember that :D. I'd be the first to help anyone, pass things around, offer a chair that wasn't being used at my table to another group, whatever. Honestly!
    All I could think of, after I sat back down was 'what did your last slave die of'... We used to say that as kids :D.

    I thought I was going to get away without having to go to the supermarket today. But I've just realised that I forgot streaky bacon for the turkey crown I'm cooking later. But I've started getting a cellulitis infection so I'm going to have to go to my gp this afternoon and I might as well get a new strap for my husbands work watch while I'm waiting for the prescription to be filled. Sigh, I'm shattered today:(

    It's worse if you waitress. I really used to hate the customers who would snap their fingers at me when they wanted something. It is just ignorant. I'd be running around like a blue assed fly on really busy nights and having someone treat me as if I were there personal servant was the last thing any busy waiter/waitress needs.

    It was so tempting to say hang on let me stick a brush up my arse and I can sweep the floor while I'm at it:mad:

    Everything used to shut here from lunch time on Good Friday, it's just a normal working day for most people now though.

    Wow. Pretty much everything is closed here. Banks, malls, grocery stores, pharmacies, beer stores, liquor stores, etc. It's like a wasteland out there.

    Interestingly, she was polite towards the staff, I noticed.

    Some of us still remember when it was quite possible to starve to death in a provincial Irish town on a Sunday afternoon, if all you had was a car and a wallet full of money! :pac:
