    Dunnes, Debenhams, M&S, the usual. I believe the secret is in the wash temperature, and how they're dried.

    Well then share the god damned secret! :P

    There's no great secret! Just wash at 30C and peg 'em out properly - that is, by the bottom "waist" end and full-width. Works for me! :cool:

    I am, bah. The secret is to sweat plenty beer into them while you've 'em on - the detergent effect of the alcohol is wonderful. :D

    I went to the barber today. I asked for a scissors cut only. I asked for about two-thirds of the length off. She says okay. She proceeds to cut my sides only, not cutting the top at all and then goes to me "Is that okay?"

    :confused:

    Me: "Eh, can I get a bit more off the top please?"

    She proceeds to cut a little bit off the top, and then stops. She's the only barber on duty, AND there're three or four people in the queue waiting behind me. She says again "Is that okay?"

    That is not two-thirds off. That is not even half off! That is barely a slight trim! And I reply "Yep, great, thanks," pay, and leave!

    Absolutely horrendous!

    Spiders making their webs on the car door mirrors.

    Curtains are too thin for the sunlight, room not dark enough for sleep.


    I'd like to know what exactly the government are going to do about these issues and when.

    It's like the thread what have you eaten so far today, and most people are just trying to impress others - it reads like a weight watchers plan - 2 slices of wholemeal toast and a kiwi blah blah feck off would ya.

    I don't care what anyone says. When the place is busy and the barber is clearly under pressure, it's really difficult to ask them to keep going with you. I just don't understand how she could possibly think it was okay to do what she did / didn't do, the dope!

    People are actually using that thread to boast? Ugh. Twats. Glad I've never gone into it now.

    Half assed parenting. Jesus H what the fcuk is it with some/many parents these days letting kids do whatever they want? First there was the total fcukwit who let her son cycle his bmx around Lidl, complete with mohican style helmet, you dumb twat, it's a shop not a playground.

    Next it was into Dunnes, which considering what I saw today, must be easily confused as an athletics field as so, so, so many parents/grandparents were allowing kids to take running jumps around the place. It's both irresponsible and dangerous. What the fcuk is wrong with these people?

    My one and ONLY consolation when I see that sort of thing is the realisation that by allowing their kids to do as they please they are raising kids that will be pecocious, obnoxious teenage cnuts that they will have to share a house with.

    Perhaps this will explain it:

    '......And I reply "Yep, great, thanks," pay, and leave!'

    She's a busy barber/hairdresser not a mind reader for gawd's sakes, funny thing is if you say "Yep, great thanks", pay and leave, without so much as a whimper, how the hell is she supposed to know you ain't happy with the job!?

    My best advice fwiw is to go back to the barbour shop (preferably when they're not too busy) and say you are not happy with the original job, and why & this time actually tell them what you want them to do to make it better.

    You'll feel better for it, they should be fine about it and you'll have the haircut you want but were oh so afraid to ask for .... you poor pet!!

    Is chuggingg even actually profitable??


    There is a company in NZ which is trying to get chugging added to the skills shortage list to attract professional chuggers from Ireland and the UK... With the added enticement of a free flight

    Poxy UPC box!

    When you're flicking through the now and next menu and see something that might be interesting and press the info button,it gives about half a sentence of a synopsis and then abruptly ends.You then have to call up the clunky and slow tv guide to see what the show is actually about.

    Insane that they still can't get very basic things like this right!

    When I change channels, I lose sound. So I have to find something I want to watch, go to the channel, the power off, power on. Pain in the nuts.
    The Bap household has German TV as well, I've resorted to watching the World Cup in German. Sehr Gut.

    Oh, the Bap household does also not own an iron. The wrinkles/creases eventually fall out. And it helps with my hobo-chic look. Derelícte.

    I think you've misread. I did tell her what I wanted. Twice. And she still didn't do it.

    The reason I didn't ask a third time was because I was uncomfortable with the queue building up behind me, which I think is a pretty reasonable way to feel and I think it's beyond stupid to expect a customer to have to ask three times for what they want and put them in that position.

    I won't even start my rant about noisy eaters because I'll find it hard to stop.

    Another thing that shouldn't annoy me too much but drives me mad is when people use "literally" when meaning "metaphorically". I can be having a good conversation with someone and then they say "I literally died!", and I have to hold myself back from saying anything because I would come across as a p****.

    It shouldn't bother me but I can't help it!

    How do you know that a street in Dublin was done up to great measures and becoming more "hip"? It gets taken over by fcuking chuggers! Bye bye Capel Street. This is becoming unbearable, if only could I pull off a bitch face :mad:

    Walking through Moore St passing one of those hair extension shops - "Hey sweetie, would you like to buy some hair extensions?" 1)Don't call me sweetie. 2)No, I don't want to buy some plastic tacky looking extensions, but YOU could pay Specsavers a visit! I have enough hair for two heads ffs and I didn't have it tied up either, it's currently reaching my waist line.

    Which reminds me that I have to make an appointment for a hair cut before I'll start looking like some mad hippy, the pain to find someone good and not overpriced :mad:

    Why are you so upset, sweetie? I just thought you were trying to get that hair down to your knees and we could help speed the process up.
