    The pressure!!!!:eek:


    Ok, here comes the speech:

    My dearest fellow trivially annoyed,

    I decided to dedicate my 1000th post to you.
    First of all I would like to thank you for the welcome I received months back when I decided to set my foot in this thread. It's been an utter pleasure to moan and bitch and give out yards and laugh and talk about all sort of nonsense important things with you so far. Your "misery" very often makes my day and I always look forward to reading the posts! I know you don't like to read such things as we all here are "too cool for school" but let's get sentimental for once - you're a great bunch and I love you am looking forward to type more responses to your life annoyances!

    Cheers to another thousand, have a beverage to celebrate!:D
    (I ain't paying btw....)

    Sincerely yours,
    czechlin


    P.S.
    So there's been a development (sadly for me) in the bus buddy situation. I was cornered this morning and had to have a 5 minute chat!!!! Feckin' bus buddies, hate them :mad:

    Oh FFS!!, what a waste of a good moan.............

    "Oh my God it's raining!"

    "Oh our summer's over now"

    "Oh look back to normal"

    "Ah back to the Irish weather"

    - back to the Irish weather wánkers who can't talk about anything except the weather.

    This thread is great, it's like Nirvana for grumps :), i luv it!!

    I never actually realised how many pretty hates I have, i can identify with about 90% of the ones listed here and that's after 687 pages of the pet peeves..... yikes I'm even crankier than I thought, world watch out, boards you have created (another) monster!

    It's kind of scary really, like watching that tv programme grumpy old men/women at Christmas and realising that you are that grumpy old man/woman:D

    Facepalm, fricking walls in this house are doing my head in. I just pulled the curtains back in our bedroom and one of the curtain pole brackets came away from the wall so the pole and curtain were hanging off the wall. This of course pulled the other bracket half way out of the wall. That's another job for Mr P this week.

    I was going to have to take the pole down to paint the bedroom anyway but still, it pisses me off.

    I was kneeling on a gardening pad on the kitchen floor on Sunday painting gloss on the woodwork and thinking there must be easier work to do on your knees:D

    I'd say he was so achey from painting he was just happy to have booze and pizza but he did have a good laugh when I said it and he did have some ideas but he's still in the dog house and wouldn't be stupid enough to push his luck, at the moment:D

    :eek: That's awful. We had a young chap from Sky out during the week. He had to wait for an inspector to come out to authorise him going up on the roof. Apparently they aren't allowed to go up on their own, they have to have a colleague with them, health and safety:rolleyes: Now I may be wrong on this but surely as a satellite dish installar their job involves a lot of time up a ladder, mainly on roofs. Not his fault, just fcuking ridiculous rules.

    Y'know when you read something and you're reminded of a song, and it sticks in your brain for the day?





    I wouldn't mind but I was only getting this one out of my head from singing it to myself all day -

    You have to be gentle with it, place the lid on the ledge of the cup at the furthest point away from you, and then with your thumbs, start from the back and work your way round, being careful not to put too much pressure on the rim or you'll rupture the cup and spray hot liquid everywhere...

    *straight face*, totally innocent :)

    Here's a top tip that a friend of mine does with her coffee and I'm only after thinking of it there now -

    Those tall cups with the twisty top, she keeps one in her car for when she buys her coffee and then pours the coffee into the cup :D

    When an album is submitted to iTunes, the genre is specified by whoever submits it.....so not your iPods fault.
    For example, I have the following genres; 7, You Decide, Хип-хоп/рэп, Badas$, Elecrix Sex, Emo Rap, F*cking Awesome, Proto-Post and best of all Raw Sh*t.

    People not placing things back where it's supposed to be after usage, where you waste an age looking for it - absolutely drives me up the wall...

    Like the missus and the scissors. Never in its place. Drives me mental. When I can't find it and want to use her fabric scissors I'm not allowed!

    As a wise man once told me....a place for everything and everything in its place.
    A maxim I try to apply to my daily life with occasional success.

    You probably wont. Bizzarely it only seems to affect those who are exposed to the Irish weather every single day of their lives and who really should have gotten over the whole thing by now :( Irish people living in Ireland surprised when the Irish weather is Irish. Sigh.....

    I was going to suggest it might be that the wrong lids are being supplied.
    That's a good idea about keeping a cup in the car, must do that next time I'm going on a long journey.
    I'm off today and (whispers) nothing has annoyed me so far
    If this keeps up, I will have to stop posting. :D
