    So is my apartment. My windows face north and it feels cold and muggy today. The humidity is at 80%.

    We'll have to organise a search party for OldNotWise now, probably last sighted around Busaras :pac:

    Here's something trivial that annoys me. You get involved in a thread where the OP has suggested something that suggests at worst complete idiocy or at best a serious lack of thought. Naturally there is a slew of responses explaining the various ways in which the OP is wrong. Then the OP comes back with a response which not only ignores the responses, but suggests that taking valid criticism on board is not something they've ever considered. A response that is so mind-bogglingly ignorant that you realise not only are wrong on this particular subject, they're actually incapable of thinking.

    Abortion thread?

    Yeah, he's a little trooper. He was so skinny and neglected when he first showed up in the back garden 6 years ago. Now he's a whopping 8.7 kilos. :eek: Too heavy I know, but he doesn't know how to say no to food and he likes to eat out with some of our nicer neighbours, even though we had a please don't feed me collar on him.:rolleyes:

    I used to have a cat like that too. She was a skinny little thing until she was fixed and developed a penchant for chips that my boys used to feed her when I wasn't looking.

    I miss having a kitty around. They are great company. :)

    When you're watching an American tv show, one of the hour-long ones, and it's been on for ten minutes.... and then the intro/credits comes on. Wtf?

    Once years ago I had to use the facilities in Busaras. I've seen my share of bus/train station toilets but this by far was the worst! I felt like I was walking the line and wasn't meant to return among the living. I did come back. Utterly disgusted, feeling like I needed a bath in bleach. Yuck. And they had the cheek to charge 20 cents!

    Could hearing screams coming from outside and not knowing what direction they are coming from be considered trivially annoying?

    People leaving a trail of gick behind them in the cinema. You brought in one drink and one bag of popcorn. Why cant you just bring it with you and dump it on the way out. More often than not, there are cinema staff at the bottom of the steps with black bags. Just pop it in there or wait til you hit a bin on the way out of the screen instead of rising from your filth infested resting place like an unhygienic self-entitled modern day Lazarus.

    When stuff breaks soon after you've cleaned it. I descaled the kettle a week ago, a task I hate doing. I picked up the kettle to fill it earlier and there was a puddle of water under it, I could see the water trickling down the plastic level indicator. I stupidly paid 60 odd euro for that, I don't usually pay silly prices for kettles but I got sucked into the red morphy richards one.

    Worst kettle I've ever owned, even though it was the most expensive. So now I've reserved a 15 euro one in Argos to collect tomorrow. Never buying an expensive kettle after the Morphy Richards one.

    Fecking iTunes library refusing to upload the artwork for some CDs. Thus, lots of album artwork interspersed with the odd blank square.

    I admit this probably annoys me more than it should.

    It's a source of almost constant annoyance to me. I feel your pain.

    That, and when the covers of my ebooks don't show on the Kindle home page and I'm left with the generic Kindle cover and no details.

    I'm like King Kong in a rage when that happens, it's a teeny bit out of proportion. :(

    A woman on the bus having a conversation through face to face chat. Yes the whole bus can hear everything.

    I think that's the point of it. 1 of our next door neighbours takes his mobile phone calls out in the garden or walks around the street having a chat on the phone.

    Mosquito bites. I've got bites all over my legs and I can't even scratch it because I'd look like a lunatic. :mad:

    I got this pen-like stuff called Afterbite in Dunnes, for insect bites. It's really good and takes the itch out of the bites. It stinks while it's wet but dries odorless in a few minutes.

    Careful what you wish for - the bus station facilities in Limerick they use so much bleach in there it'd tear the eyes (well, 'eye' in my case :pac:) out of you! :eek:

    They could do with one of those weed killer sized backpacks for around the station though, I often picture something like Ghostbusters :D

    Been using a basic plastic kenwood kettle for the last 2 years and will never get a fancy one again.

    used to have a fancy stainless steel one before that. the stainless steel ones inevitably get streaks of limescale on the outside of them from water trickling down the side when filling it, ends up looking fooking awful then it went and broke after a year will defo be sticking to basic plastic ones in future.

    I opened a door of a toilet at a London Tube station once. Words fail me, it was unusable, to be polite about the state of it. I think I've mostly blanked the memory.

    Everyone should join in. I've often been tempted when someone is yelling into a phone, in a public place, to start a competing yell. :D

    I can't recommend one of these highly enough. I have zero interest in exercise, etc, but I got up on one of these the other day and laughed my ass off, they're deadly altogether.


    Ugh, embedding YouTube videos, pain in the proverbial, I don't want to share the bloody thing, I just want the link and not that youtu.be shyte! :mad:


    Anyway, a vibrating stepper pad thing!

    "storms off in frustration* :(
