Can somone explain to me what in the haemorrhaging fcuk it has to do with anyone else's kids if I choose to give my youngfella a whole roast boar covered in Nutella, or owt else, for his lunch? ?

Children are often stupid and the parents probably don't explain to the child that nuts are dangerous to them so nobody can have nuts in case they start eating other kids lunches.

Smelly people.

Smelly people in confined spaces such as public transport. You smelly git on the bus I wish I could drown you in Fabreze!!! :mad:

my nephew has a nut allergy... it was discovered when his mam kissed him on the cheek after eating a snickers.

They have one of those pen things for him but have never had to use it.

He's dead wide, won't touch a tin of roses at Christmas... just incase, asks if there is nuts in anything you give him, he's cagey around cornettos incase he gets the wrong one, even if you give him lasange for dinner he says 'is there ANY chance that there may be nuts in this' -

He's only 7 but he is wide.
No chance of him eating someone else's lunch !

Don't bleedin blame him!

Dunnes kitchen wares, they're absolute sh*te and they shouldn't be allowed to sell crappy products. I bought a baking tray in there, the first time I used it the fricking thing bent upwards on one end. As if that weren't bad enough, when I washed it with a gentle sponge the fecking thing was scratched everywhere the coating was that thin and useless. It's in the bin now so I'm going to have to buy a decent one somewhere else.

I haven't seen them yet, but the Cadburys advertising campaigns generally annoy me lately, any of these self-congratulatory "look at us tappin' into the yoof market and going viral" crap. They're terrible. An advertisement should make you want the product, not have you spending days after thinking "the hell was that about?".

Wrong side of the bed this morning

Haven't seen the ad yet, but there are so many trivially annoying ads that make me think I just would not buy the product or service cos the ad is so rubbish.

I have to say I love this. I love that they fully understand his allergies and have taught him so well.

I suffer from quite severe allergies. I carry a pen and take prescription antihistamines everyday, I literally don't go anywhere without a full arsenal drugs for my various ailments.
My parents did not understand my allergies when I was growing up, they just thought I was being difficult. They used to force feed me all the stuff I was allergic to and when I was having a reaction they used to think I was just putting it on. For example, I have a bad allergy to red meat and my mum used to cook either roast lamb or roast beef every Sunday for dinner when I was younger. I'd eat as little of it as possible but I'd be made sit there until I ate all my dinner. Then I'd have a reaction, I'd be wheezing (I also have asthma so this used to be really bad), my ears would be itching, my eyes would be streaming, I'd feel my mouth and my tongue swelling up and I'd be told "cop yourself on".
When I moved out I got myself a proper doctor who sent me for tests etc, I have a card in my wallet listing my drug allergies, I carry all my stuff around and my parents still tell me I'm just being difficult :rolleyes:

Defo allergies are more understable nowadays....

No such thing years ago sure !

Another thing that really p***es me off given that English has long been the de facto language of Ireland :

Stupid, useless and completely unnecessary road signage in "Irish" and particularly the signage in Dublin Airport and some other places where they've had the stupidity to give priority to the so-called "Irish"" and only have English in a much smaller script. Also the pathetic signs in places like Tescos - Like we really need signs on aisles saying such stupid things as "Bia Eitneach" - RIDICULOUS. A complete national joke and embarassement....:mad:

Sadderday · 17-09-2014 09:49AM

fiancee or fiance (cant figure out how to do the dash thingy on top)

Wrecks my head, I hate calling the other half my fiance, its so in your bleedin face.

Two things so far this morning and its not yet 10!

A thread today about not eaving washing on the line at night because "Bugs and stuff might get on them". I blame Dettol and their 'more germs on your chopping board than in your toilet' cobblers. WE HAVE AN IMMUNE SYSTEN DEVELOPED OVER MILENNIA!!!! A spider touching your freshly laundered knickers wont give you ebola!!!!
And
A friend of mine who only last month had her two boys Confession and Communion splashed all over facebook sharing the meme with Maggie Smith telling people not to be waving their religion around and forcing it on others a day or two later

This one

What about that yucky slime that slugs leave all over everything?

gugleguy · 17-09-2014 09:59AM

My HTC phone camera simply not quick off the mark for photographing that vehicle on the road this morning. Instead it photographed something else a nano second letter.

This annoys me too. How much money has been spent on translating documents etc all to pander to oh about 12 people in the entire country? How far would that money go towards emergency neonatal equipment or a hospice fund?

It's another trivial annoyance (or should I say major concern) of mine at this time of year wrt the pets. Out the door dosing them all with advocate to prevent lungworm. Slugs are not our friends

Trying to wash bowls that have been left out at night - the slime has to be scrubbed off with steel wool!

Shudder....

Yeah, with Dunnes, you are really only paying for the name:D

Yeah yeah, I know... it trivially annoys me having to watch the roast wild boar closely in case I inadvertently make some other poor little mite bring his ring up in class.

I hear this. It's either monkey-metal or brittle plastic that breaks when you look at it, or somewhat better stuff with some gowl's name on it ("Carolyn Donnelly Eclectic!" is de rigeur in our local one) that's about twice overpriced. I hate Dunnes!! :mad:
