    This part is what gets to me. She must think that she should be the only one allowed to use the canteen, and be allowed to do business in it? It's a canteen, it's where people usually eat lunch. If she has problem with that then tell her to stuff it and go to one of the meeting rooms. Not very considerate of her tbh. Do other people have a problem with her?

    Yeah, but we've all started going in, completely ignoring her and surrounding her with our food and noisy chatter. I think she's starting to get the message. I go every morning for my mid morning cuppa anyway. Ain't nobody going to hold me down. :P

    If anyone came between me and my cup of tea there would be hell to pay.

    My husband threw on The Staircase earlier. A documentary investigating a woman falling down the stairs and whether there was foul play by the husband. He said it was only 3 47 minute parts. Its 8. I canot go to bed until I know what happens.

    This is the second time he's done this. Paradise lost was the first one. That felt like it was about 10 hours.

    I'm tired but I need to watch this!

    8 episodes about a woman falling down the stairs? It sounds to me like you're just trying really hard to find an excuse to stay up late! :eek:

    Yes, slightly tilt not lift the whole bowl off the table.

    One of my work colleagues uses the canteen for meetings and to take personal phone calls. The look of indignation on her face when you go in to make a cuppa or even eat your lunch, would turn milk sour. We have 3 other meeting rooms, so there's really no reason why she would have to use the canteen. It drives me mad, you can't even eat your lunch in peace. :mad:

    I hope you don't let her change your behaviour. In fact I would be turning on the radio in the canteen or the one on my phone while shes there :)

    'I like big butts and I cannot lie...'

    Ever since that tool from Friends said it 20 years ago I've hated that phrase/lyric or whatever the hell it is. Where did it come from and why do people say it?
    Just heard it again now.....cheeeeesus

    Its from a song. "Baby got back" or something. Can't find a link to it on tablet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭deise08

    It's the song "Baby got Back" by Sir Mix-a-lot (think that is his name!) An American rapper, was a one hit wonder in the early 90's

    One hit too many. Pity someone didn't hit him over the head before he penned that diahorrea.

    It's the only line I know and when I hear it or read it just goes round and round in my head like a broken record player.

    People who sit beside you on a bus, despite the fact that the bus is pretty much empty, are the worst kind of bastards.

    They're right up there with acoustic guitar guy at a house party.

    Like lads who go to the urinal beside you, when there are many other free urinals that aren't beside anyone.

    On this note, nothing worse than a lad who brings a guitar to a pub and just plays it on his own accord. I wanted a quiet pint you bastard!!!!!

    People often produce a guitar from some upstairs bedroom and force me to play - it's not my fault! :pac:

    All I can think is "You don't even play guitar, where did this come from?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭LynnGrace


    People who gawp at you. You are sitting quietly, say, in a coffee shop, minding your own business, glance up, and someone is gawping at you.
    I'm fairly normal looking, I think...:D, but I sometimes almost check I haven't my second head on, or something...

    Spending a LOT of money on designer shoes, and then buying a pair online for 26 euro (including delivery) and my thick of a boyfriend last night turning around telling me there was no difference in them.

    Clearly his good taste stops at women and doesn't extend to shoes

    They did :mad: And now I'm one little grumpy czechlin, I'm almost sorry for the people around me, almost...:pac:

    One hit wonder me b*llix, his album Mack Daddy is a stone cold classic.
    And Put 'Em On The Glass would have been a bigger single for him if the video wasn't so racey......the view count on the video should increase now after saying this.....the song is about women putting thier boobies on glass, the video depicts this.

    Cyclists on footpaths. Yes even the ones going slowly.

    Crowds of people everywhere in the city as soon as the sun shines - where do they all come from?

    People fcuking about with balls on beaches...should be banned. With the exception of small kids pushing a ball around, or building sand castles, all other activities, during summer months are a no.

    You are sitting there with your book/dozing/listening music, and along comes some bored twat who decides to start hurling with his mates, I mean you can do that anywhere there is grass, why the crowded beach,, where sooner or later, some will get whacked with the ball. Same applies to soccer, Frisbee etc.

    The exception to the above is the Brazilian ladies volleyball team, should they decide to practice on my local beach.
