    Does the reverse apply? What about people like me who pretend to be intelligent but are actually completely vacant?

    Intelligence is overrated, particularly in today's Western society. I find it helps enormously during the day to sit in a corner with one's head lolling slightly to the side, wobbling your lip with your finger and going Wubba-Wubba-Wubba.

    Got home from a 9 hour shift at work today to find a group of cyclists, complete with van sitting out in front of my house in my parking space and the one beside it. I had to park sort of awkwardly jutting a bit out on the road and walk through them to get to my front door.

    I was going to say nothing to them but they were still there after half an hour of seeing me go into my house and one of them decided to sit with a cooler of food and drinks on my front lawn so that tipped me over the edge.

    I went out and asked them how the **** they decided the front of my house was a picnic area and the head Dub (inevitable, he needed the cycle as well because he had a monumental beer belly) said "shure we didn't know it was your house and it was just where we stopped and it's near the shop" to which i replied "well it's obviously someones house. why not stop in front of the shop instead of someones houses? what normal person would think that's ok?" (they where taking up my neighbors parking space as well at this stage)

    He got shirty at this stage and said "what's the problem, we're only stopped here for a while?" to which i replied "do you not think it's a bit ****ing ignorant to just set yourselves up in front of someones house to have snacks and then act the **** when they say something to you about hanging around in front of their property?".

    All i got in reply was some mumbling so i just went back inside after calling them all ignorant dickheads.

    I wouldn't have minded at all if i had have been in the house at the time they arrived and had the manners to asked but sure they were the amazing Dublin people down the country to grace us with their knacker presence to do a bit of cycling so i was the asshole for questioning them breaking the simplest of social conventions.

    I had a sledge hammer out the back of the house and i was genuinely considering going out and just smashing the **** out of whatever bikes i could get near but then i'd be the one in trouble then :mad:

    You could have just politely asked them to move, as they were blocking two driveways, I would say they would have moved.

    "Amazing" Dublin people gracing you with their knacker presence...wow

    sounds like their bikes were nice and shinier than yours:D

    On FIFA and the ball goes out for a throw and instead of going to a cut screen a player runs the length of the field to get it. Especially annoying when ur a goal down and five minutes to go. So ****ing annoying

    Ogling the array of delicious freshly baked, plump and moist looking scones at the bakery near work and ending up being given a scabby, rock hard, burnt one

    I'm annoyed with how I feel today. Went out for a meal last night and was a glutenous pig. Eating scraps off others plates, 'helping' the kids eat thier dinners, getting that unneccasary desert.

    It all seemed so right at the time though.

    I do that all the time. They call me the Combine Harvester. I think you're suffering from Fat Bastard's Guilt, and you need to get rid of it. :cool:

    I was getting it as a take-away so didn't realise until I was back at my desk. I'll just have to take my custom elswhere as punishment:p If I was running a nice little coffee shop like this place is, I'd be all over quality control and not letting the inferior scones out of the kitchen. Its left a bad taste in my mouth, quite literally!

    Going out for dinner with the OH tonight. Looking forward to encouraging her to order too much and then, when she realises she can't eat it all, getting a second dinner.

    Sure, I could just order two mains, but who does that? This way it doesn't feel wrong.

    The beauty of havig kids is that you
    a) get to finish thier food
    b) eat food that is attractive to your inner kid that you wish was on the menu for adults.

    Ah I hate when that happens. It's almost as bad as when you get a sandwich made and it looks fantastic and you are already looking forward to lunch time so you can bite into it only to realise when you get to work that YOU LEFT IT IN THE SHOP! The horror!! It happened. It was a terrible day :(

    This is why starters (a.k.a. extra din-din for Fatbasts) were invented! :D

    Now I love a starter, but you don't get the same options that you get with mains. Besides, part of the joy is that you've finished your meal - you think it's all gone and then... more food!

    Yes, it's great - I'm also in the habit of having my porter first, and so I'm dangerously hungry during and indeed after dinner! :pac:

    I'm not a fat bastard (well not yet) but I love starters! The only downfall is I can only order one and only if I'm really hungry otherwise I won't eat much of the main course. That's why I love dining with my brother and few other friends, we just get loads (and I really mean loads) of various stuff, absolute pigs...:pac:
    Give me a starter over a dessert anytime! :D

    My physical form is not that of a Fatbast - I have the metabolism of a top-fuel dragster - but like you and yours, I am Fatbast in spirit. Bon appétit! :D

    Aye, I am the same. Although the late 20s are a dark time and I can feel the winds of change beginning to blow in this regard. More running seems to be good medicine though.

    Speaking of food:

    I don't mind sharing, that's fine I'm not Joey but don't fcuking touch my ice cream unless I give you a permission (which is guaranteed if you ask nicely), I usually even offer you to try it out but don't you dare poke at it with your spoon/fork/whatever before I even tried it myself.
    That won't end well. For you.

    And don't eat my last piece of meat or veg unless you ask. Sometimes I save that piece of broccoli until the end for purpose. Leave it alone.

    The late 20's hit me hard, happened so quick, thinking it wont happen to me.

    Robert de Niro in "Casino" speaking to the chef of the hotel De Niro is running for the mob

    "There is only one blueberry on this muffin, in future, I want an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin"

    Chef: "Do you have any idea how long that will take ?"

    De Niro" "I WANT AN EQUAL AMOUNT IN EACH MUFFIN, DO IT!!"

    My type of coffee shop:D

    Ah I wouldn't get too freaked. It's not like I suddenly put on 5 stone, I just noticed over the last year that I was gradually putting on a pound here or there, whereas before I could eat everything in sight and it would have no effect.

    In truth I was probably just less active this year and it might have nothing to do with being 28. Walking to work and going for a run 3 times a week seems to have put it right.

    When my son throws a tantrum in public, I like to be a responsible parent by taking him to one side away from other people and putting him in time out till he calms down and we can talk about what he did wrong. All well and good until someone, usually an old biddy, comes up and goes "Oh what's the matter, wont you daddy get you something? Oh you poor wee one."

    Great, now you have reinforced my son's opinion that I am being unreasonable and as a result you have extended his tantrum.

    anyone sticking their beak into your business when your out with your kids
    and think their doing you a hugh f*cking favour with their advice.

    I think my husband is becoming a feeder. He's got a week off at the moment and he's picking at junk food and encouraging me to join him, not good, I can do without weight gain and I have the will power of a gnat with junk food.

    Send him my way. I'm starving. :)

    Getting private messages that confuse me are trivially annoying but only because I'm lost at how to sort it out so I'm no longer confused.

    If that makes any sense.

    So you're one of those people then... The ones who sit in the overtaking lane doing the exact speed limit... The kind of person who hits their brakes when you flash the lights to tell them to move the fcuk over!

    We got a christening invite today. Mr P's niece is having her daughter christened and it's in England. We didn't get an invite to the last childs christening and won't be shelling out to go over for this one. I think she's angling for a christening present, she can shag off for that one, she knows we wouldn't go over for a christening. I haven't spoken to the selfish little bitch for years, we send Christmas and birthday presents for her son every year, so this will be another kid to shell out for.

    I remember a friend of mine telling my 20 year old self: "You know czechlin, when you pass the 25 yo mark it goes downhill. The body, it's not the same anymore, it requires more work, things'll get loose, it's not nice." Pushing 27 and it's starting to haunt me. Although I'm in a much better form than I was when she had that speech.

    Sounds to me like she was probably just a saggy old fart who was jealous of your lean, young figure. :p

    Sure we've all seen men and women well into their 40s and 50s who still look great. It's just going to come down to looking after yourself surely.
