The prize was for an overnight stay at a trendy Dublin hotel on a night I can't go.
I might consider passing it on to a Boardsie or if Boards wants to raffle it off..

You could try selling it? Anything you get would be a bonus if you can't use it yourself. Or if a friend or relative has a birthday or anniversary coming up it would make a great gift.

Metallic pearly light beige is nice.

Sludge or mud brown, not so much.

Mine is the former.

Pathologically tight Yorkshiremen in a Morris Marina or a 1988 Skoda Estelle need not apply!

I thought about selling it but I don't think anyone would give me anything for it. Might hang on to it for a friend's birthday or something...Meh I'll think on it

A brown car is allowed as long as it's a Triumph Stag or a Mk. III Cortina. Can't help you with the designer dress, guv'nor. :pac:

Now it occurs to me, I don't think I've seen a brown car since the late 80's! :eek:

Winning a competition but realising you can't actually use the prize :mad:

Tell me about it -

That reminds me, I bought a crunchie yesterday, and they're running some competition at the moment where you're in with the chance to win €500.

So I open the wrapper and discover I'm a winner, just have to enter the code and a few details on the website and click SUBMIT...

Come on! Tell me what I've won already!

"You will be notified of your prize when the draw takes place on November 14th 2014"

NOVEMBER?? THAT'S SIX MONTHS AWAY!!! Aww go fcuk yourself Cadburys! :mad:

One more month to go, it had better be damn good!

fussyonion · 30-09-2014 03:43PM

Ugh, Czar, that reminds me..

Back in January, there was a fella in Nutgrove Shopping Centre selling tickets to go in the draw to win a shiny new car.

Car was on display and it was all new and lovely. So I bought three tickets, thinking the draw's probably soon and God-wouldn't-it-be-lovely-'cos-our-car-needs-replacing....................

Only for me to check the TEENY TINY print on the bottom of the ticket that says :
"Draw takes place December 31st 2014"

Fcuk off! I'll be twisty-eyed on New Year's Eve, don't bother ringing me then ffs!

Did the small writing state that the prize may not be EXACTLY similar to the one you saw?
You saw a maserati, you win a smart car (2003 vintage)

Don't know if this has been mentioned but people who stop at the bottom of escalators of all places to have a conversation while everyone else is coming behind them. GET OUTTA THE WAY :pac:

I've mastered a tone of saying 'excuse me' that sounds like I'm going to kill you and you're entire family if you don't get out of my way now, but I have an angelic smile on my face when I say it and they do a double take, unsure whether or not they heard me right.:D

Trivially annoying thing just happened now!

I was doing that staring thing..you know when your eyes find a comfortable place to stare and then someone asks you to look at something but you don't want to move your eyes away 'cos it's comfortable?
Do you know what I mean?

Please tell me you know what I mean.

A comfortable place to stare...like a warm, welcoming bosom?

Over here! :P

I also hate when you are doing the comfortable stare and then someone moves into your line of vision and starts being all weirded out cause you're "staring at them" - fúck right off I was staring here first!

There's a name for that, can't think of it though.

Can't go five minutes without hearing something about Conor Mcgregor. Its grating at this this stage.

His fan boys are among the worst and most annoying Ive ever seen either.

Pumpkinseeds · 30-09-2014 07:01PM

It's that time of year when I start thinking of what to buy for family for Christmas. My brother is a huge Tottenham fan and I usually get him something Spurs related, but everything I've looked at on the club site and thought he might like is out of stock tonight. *Sigh.

McChubbin · 30-09-2014 07:32PM

Why do home-made Christmas puddings take over 6 hours to steam? Surely in this day and age there must be an easier and more time-effective way to make one?

While I'll admit that he is growing on me and it's a genuine good-luck story for an Irishman in a competitive sport, what's worse is the general snobbery those involved in MMA appear to have towards other sports.

They keep preaching that it's the best training one can do, that it's a life lesson and that in no other sport is there such respect shown towards competitors. While I won't argue with their assessment, you still have to have a bit of dirt about you to be willing to continously punch someone in the face!

The way they go on you'd swear it was some form of artistic life-changing activity that every kid in Ireland should be made to take up, and that it's team sports you'd want to be wary off.

Girl in front me on the bus had some gossip magazine, she was reading the horoscope page section, turned her to friend and said

"Oh my God, it says I will have great success this week ahead of my Birthday, this must be true, how the hell does it know when my Birthday is?"

Your horoscope thing is allocated to you based within certain birth dates so of course it knows what drivel to write for goons like you.

Argh, some people!

Being invited to like pages on facebook relating to water charges. I already pay for my water, kindly fook off.

People who have a million unread messages in their inbox. Read them, delete them, filter them out - why are you letting them just sit there?!

Housemates who think things like washing powder and fabric softener are communal. Or that the bathroom magically cleans itself.

Just to let everyone know, downloaded the ryanair app which let me show my boarding card on my phone and it scanned in the airport on those machines with barriers. Disaster and 15e print boarding card avoided!

bluewing your post is for the thread
’Trivial things that make you happy’
I think.

Checking out Ann's Bakery in Dublin on Google streetview, wishing you could pop in for a visit and cannot because of geography.
