I'm all for educating women about their mental, physical and sexual health, but the whole performing smear tests live on morning tv is just that one step too far and screams exploitation more than education.

It's like that embarrassing bodies crap, pure titillation tv, and because I'm sure I'm not the only one changes the channel, the actual message people should be learning, is lost.

I really can't stand these latest exploiting people tv shows disguised as 'raising awareness' :rolleyes:

And who are these people willing to share such intimate moments on tv? They clearly have a want in them!

Chatting to people, usually women, and they are blatently and unashamedly looking you up and down as the conversation goes on.

And prying as well if you’re a male, younger generation.

I joined Weight Watchers after two of my pregnancies to help try to shift the last stubborn bits of baby weight. It was grand, it worked. But what struck me was that there were a core group of women who had been going for years and yet never seemed to lose the weight.

QUOTE]

my ex was going to weight watchers and there was a long termer who went mad one day saying she wasn't losing weight and it was sham.
the leader then asked her to go through her diet that week. Turns out she had a magnum after dinner every single day.

I did laugh.

Indeed, do these people not have parents? Would you not be terrified that they'd see? I often think about that when the ad comes on for that hotline number with yer one in the black lingerie looking like someone trying to be seductive. (girls from all over Ireland are having fun on the phone right now - really? Are they?) Gods sake woman I can do better than that with a bottle of wine in me. She's pure blue label "fun" but even forgiving her the appauling acting and faux playfulness and tacky prim*rk lingerie cráp, would she not have some consideration for her family? Her parents must be so proud....

Celebs getting nude photos robbed. I feel sorry for them but the way certain commentators in the media are going on and on and on about you'd swear the world was ending.

The contagion effect of negativity. I'm usually an altruism junkie and love letting people out when I'm driving but this morning I was trying to pull out and not one fúcker would let me out. Drove like a canterous rat for the rest of the journey. Similarly, just refused to help someone who reached out to me because I'm stressed about money and college fees etc. I could have easily helped him but I just thought, life's not fair so fúck you. Nobody's helping me why the hell should I help you. Being nice get's you nothing so might as well be a bítch. Hate myself now. Feel like crying. What's the point in spreading misery? He could have been my brother. Damn. Fúcking screw loose here.

Yer woman must be 60 by now, she has been on TV for years, and she never answers the phone.....:D

They're not hired to display their Einstein levels of intellect

Though indeed many of them are quite highly educated and shamelessly intellectual as they are exhibitionist!

Big Bushy Beards. Almost every young man under 30 has one. A well trimmed beard can be very attractive but Gordon Darcy style beards are awful imho

I was thinking 'jesus that looks awful', but then without it, he looks a bit like Wayne Rooney -

Yeah but there's a lot of ground between Einstein level of intellect and the vacant, lights on but nobody home thing they have going on... It's a wonder they can breathe and move at the same time.

Negotiating a trip to the loo when I am out on my own with the kids. It generally involves all four of us squashed into the cubicle with me trying to perform with 3 sets of eyes staring intently. And then the questions/comments in extra loud voices start. I've had:

'Are you doing a poo Mummy, or just a wee?'
'Make sure you wipe your bum properly'
'Daddy has a willy and you have a vagina. Why don't you have a willy like Daddy?''
'Can I see your vagina?'
'Why doesn't wee come out of your bum?'

I think the safer option would be for me to invest in adult nappies in lieu of using the toilet when out with them

So it's not just me, i just have 2 extra sets of eyes though, and replace Mummy with Daddy.....well sometimes they call be Mummy.

I also cant take a shower now without my daughter wanting to jump in with me.

I remember stumbling upon that logistical nightmare when I was out with my godson one day. He was around 4 at the time and because he's not mine, I thought it was inappropriate to be peeing in front of him, so had to park him outside the cubicle so that I could see his feet and make him sing (yes sing, poor little fella) until I was done to make sure nobody had run away with him. Fastest, most nerve wracking pee ever

How would you even explain if he was robbed - "er...I left him right here!"

swing open the cubicle and theres two empty shoes, and a tape recorder

To follow on from my rant yesterday about "The Match",

There is an nice (yes , I do like some people) old guy, who will always after the health of my dogs, kids and Mrs E, in that order, and because I once told him I dont know anything about soccer, he assumes I follow GAA and rugby, and I dontb have the heart to tell him otherwise. So I have developed a strong list of neutral, inane comments to try to get myself off the hook. like..

"Ah sure the lads did their best"
"I think the other team just wanted it more"
"There is always next year"
"The referee was a wanker"

Sometimes I dont even know what sport was played, never mind the teams.

Any addition to above would be welcome,

Or will I tell the truth?

Anyone ever try mash potatoes in a blender? I have never been as disgusted by anything as much, it looked like regurgitated puke, like a thick creamy paste

I once wound up using the stick blender when the masher broke. It wound up overworking the starch, and turning it into glue, and it was inedible.

Think that's what happened mine too they didn't even taste like potatoes. Bleh.

Having a bad day before you even wake up because some asshole projects their bad mood onto you before you even get to open your eyes.

People who wear white or majority white bike shorts when cycling on a day where it is drizzly and the roads are greasy from heavy overnight rain. The road grime makes it look like there is a bit too much scutter about and when those shorts get wet there's a bit too much arse crack visible too...

Middle Age Men in Lycra cycling who think they're Alberto Conquistador.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 23-09-2014 04:04PM

The next time an asshole cyclist cycles out in front of my car, and almost kills himself I'm going to tell him real men ride women. If I had hit him its my insurance that'd be in ****

Thankfully I havent hit the Lycra stage.....but my head is turning for the benfits in speed. They also have cushioning in the rear area which might be nice.

MsBubbles · 23-09-2014 04:14PM

There seems to be an explosion of these fellas Boom Bap. I don't understand the need for the lycra. Most of them buy all the gear then get up on a bike and like me they haven't cycled since they were children
