    It happens rarely but... When you're really tired and finally get into bed. Nice and cosy, ready for a good night's sleep and then when you're almost asleep you have to pee. Fcuk you bladder :mad:

    "Are you still there ? " after 5 seconds silence on the phone during a conversation with someone.

    When a friend or relative rings me, and I've listened to what they said, and gave my opinion and said what I needed.....as with EVERY conversation in the world....there comes a small break.

    BUT....you can't have that on a phone call, because it's weird...2 people holding phones to their ear...neither talking....so often the conversations go onto inane and useless things.

    I never call people on the phone for chats, ever...unless I have a story or something specific I need to tell them.



    Also....when ye buy some bread, and the heel...my favourite part...has a big hole in the middle ...because that part is attached to the next slice down. We only get 2 heels...don't ruin them :(

    What happened to a simple thanks, by text, not talking gold plated elaborate cards here. This p1sses me off, every so often, gifts to certain family members. Do they not think it worth sending a text, seriously, as far as I know, they were taught manners.

    I saw the Lego Movie yesterday and thought it was brilliant, however now I can't get "Everything is Awesome" out of my head now no matter what I do!

    Couldn't sleep for ages last night, woke up and it was the first thing that popped into my head. Went into the bathroom and started humming it. Then actually singing the words involuntarily! Oh Sweet Jebus make it stop!!! :eek:

    I couldn't sleep last night. I was reading in bed and usually I nod off after a few pages but after 4 or 5 chapters I still wasn't sleepy. I feel asleep for about 2 hours and then lay awake from 2.30am to 6.30am when I had to get up.

    The worst is that there is a church bell that rings once on the half hour and then on the hour; 2 gongs at 2, 3 at three etc so you know how long you've been awake and how little time you have left to get to sleep.

    I am really tired today and I'm counting down the minutes which needless to say are going a lot slower than the hours in bed last night.

    Played about 5 seconds of the video before it crashed with an error. Expect the "10 hours of Everything is awesome" videos to start soon too.

    Teaching manners is one thing. Learning them is something else!

    Have to say I love that thread, and get great laughs from it.
    Just sometimes, I look blankly at a post, often with loads of thanks, and don't know what it is about.

    There is a discussion thread stickied at the top of the forum, you can ask for explanations there and will generaly get an answer fairly quickly

    People who drop spatterings of Irish into conversation. It's not that I have anything against the Irish language. It just annoys me when they only know 2 or 3 phrases and use these incessantly to sound cool. Like a guy earlier who kept saying gabh mo leithsceal over and over and then go raibh maith agat. Oh you're so cool and different like. If Irish means that much to you, why not make an effort to learn more and speak it properly? Sorry but "cad é an scéal" at the bar will not revive the Irish language.

    My fecking neighbours. We have cat hating next door neighbours and whenever they see one of our cats sitting on the dividing front boundary wall the mad cnut and her mother come out shouting and chasing them off. Now, they have concrete gardens, back and front and our cats don't do anything in their garden, they just sit and watch the world and follow the sun in the mornings.

    Now I'm listening to their toddler grandson repeatedly shouting 'the cats gone in granddad', it wants to play with the cat, of course the cats gone in they're fcuking terrified of your mad cnut granny and great granny:mad::mad::mad:

    TV ads for female monthly absorbant products. Way too many happy women in them ads.

    I'd love to see the honest version where the woman is stomping around looking for the leftover tampons from last months supply and the male sits back in full knowledge that they are exactly where they were left after the last moon cycle. And the dilema on the mans face to:

    a)actually say where they are and recieve a b*llicking for being a smart know it all

    or

    b)sit quiet, ride it out and be berated for not helping locate the tampons.

    ....and then see the lady not go wind surfing or go play tennis etc.

    Sky news' constant coverage of the Scottish Indepence vote. For fecks sake it's 100 days away, how do I know that? because you've told me repeatedly for the past hour. Nothing else happening in the world? Really?, travelling around Scotland and England with a sofa asking people what way they'll vote, dumbed down journalism at it's finest, I don't give a rats arse what way they vote.

    You think that's bad, I had a Cliff Richard song stuck in my head the other day, no idea where it came from, almost lost the will to live.

    Last week it was the truck that turned over 20 yards from a pedestrian crossing when there wasn't a sinner about but that could have caused untold damage had it happened 20 minutes later and further down the road if there had been people crossing at that time.

    Today it's this: Dublin Bus goes up in flames on busy street
    'Witnesses say it was 'lucky' the fire didn't happen ten minutes later as local schools finished for the day'

    It's also lucky that it didn't happen while there was a leaky oil lorry parked beside it in front of a fireworks factory that was having an open day for burns victims.

    So you would prefer if there was no luck involved and people died?

    It's not luck. It's circumstance.

    Every aeroplane than lands in Dublin is 20 metres to the right or left of crash landing. People walk along country roads and cars fly by within a foot or two but they don't go home counting their blessings but no doubt the Indo would paint it as a near tragedy.
