What is it with the ridiculous price of paint tester pots? I can't decide between 2 colours for the bedroom so I thought I'd get a tester of each, frigging 7.50 each for 500ml pots, the manufacturers are taking the piss:mad:

And at the End of the day when the whole room is done you'll try to convince yourself that "the colour will grow on me " , whilst deep down you're trying to convince yourself that the other colour wasn't better .:D

I'm very fussy. At the moment there are patches of the first colour we tried painted around the bedroom, it's really annoying since we don't actually like it.

I should paint out that the colours clash, badly. The old colour is a very deep blue but we're trying to find a very deep green so the clash is awful

Restaurants where you have to queue for food with a tray, like being in prison.

Indeed. I'm paying you for food in your restaurant and I have to go get it myself?

No thanks. I'll go to a real place.

Is it a family run business? I only ask as the family run businesses are notorious for this, at this point I think of them as 'nobody else will employ our kids' businesses:D

No, it's a chain.

When people are so proud to be Irish over the smallest little thing. You mainly see it online when Ireland is mentioned somewhere abroad or something.

'OMG I'm Irish, so proud'

Kevin Dundon. Mainly due to the fact that when he's presenting a cooking show he says "chop it down" instead of "chop it up" like every other English speaking person.

When you're dying to fart but there are too many people around you. Or you think the coast is clear so you let one rip and then someone appears behind you out of nowhere and starts chatting to you.

Finishing my second bottle of wine, not drunk enough for my liking but not sober enough to go get more

This reminds me... the horror of being brought to a restaurant only to be given little barbecues and expected to cook our own food. :eek:

Sitting in front of a hot smoking barbecue in a restaurant is not my idea of a good time!

And this reminds me of fajitas. Here are multiple plates that can't even fit on the table. Now go spend more the making them than everyone else spends eating.

The constant celebrity spotting in the Wimbledon final. Just show the tennis please.
The accent on that Graham McDowell fella.

Garth Brook - not Gareth or Gorth! The latter pronounciation by Sinéad Desmond!!

Where did she get that accent, she sounds dreadful. I just caught a bit of that programme one day last week, and barely knew what she was saying!

There was a very funny thread at one stage here about cooking stuff at the table, some of the posts were hilarious.
I've never come across it, I wouldn't like it either.

She and Mark (Mork!) Cagney regularly remind us that she went to The Holy Child School in Killiney!

I did this the other evening. I was going into a supermarket and had to let off as I walked through the door. So I did. A nice beery one. Then I noticed a woman walking right behind me, right into the eye of the storm!

I mentioned the other day that my awesome new neighbour brought me cake as a nice new neighbourly gesture and thanks for helping them out with a few bit and pieces. What I failed to mention is the delivery of the cake, but this has reminded me.
My kitchen is at the front of my house beside the front door. It was a warm day and the kitchen window was open, I was there quite close to it and let an absolute ripper, plenty of bass in it and dragged out for a few seconds.
Just as I completed the flatuence, there was the knock on the door.
The neighour had to had heard it or at least felt the vibrations.

I "heard" that fart in your username when I read this! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....Bap!"

Tumblr. Everything about that useless website annoys me, right down the me wishing great harm on those who actively use it.

Clickbait links on Facebook too. It's bad enough that I need to use Facebook for college/gym updates, but when my feed is populated with "You'll never believe what happened next..." "What she did will shock you..." "This is simply incredible..." **** OFF.

Oh so that was you

You know the way you hear of boards meet ups, never thought that would be how I would get to know people here

You really are like the guy in the coke ad. Not.

Look at it this way, she still bravely continued her mission, despite that greeting!

Yesterday I saw man, dressed in flip flops with navy woollen socks, whitish football shorts,
a red shirt, and a brown cardigan.

If you had to guess, what country would you say he was from?
