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!

I lost all repsect for her here

I lost my voice. I'm sure there would be lots of people who's trivially happy with that though

That the knobs on the faucets in my bathroom are almost round, making them really hard to turn off with wet hands.

Back in work for a 12 hour day after a 4 day weekend.

LynnGrace · 01-10-2014 10:37AM

Contacted a company about some work on the house, looking for a quote, if they are interested in the work. They are...or so they said, and would be back in touch.
So, why have they not made contact? FFS.

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?

Every year I think about making one, then I end up buying one from Tesco. Although I'll be in Galway for a few hours the week before Christmas so I might try one from M&S.

Trivial thing that annoys both myself and my mother: there's no ruddy M&S in Limerick. Bah, rot, rhubarb-rhubarb!! :mad:

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of hearing/reading peoples rants about not paying water charges? I don't want to pay the charges but it's a fact of life. It serves no purpose whatsoever blocking meter installers and holding protests. I keep seeing facebook posts where people boast about having stopped the meters being installed, as though it's some sort of achievement, it's not, they're just going to get an estimated bill, just like everyone else who doesn't have a meter.

The usual unemployed, nothing better to do brigade have started protesting today and plan to protest in every neighbourhood as meters are installed:rolleyes:, I really hope they don't plonk themselves outside our house when the meters installed, they're more of a pain in the arse than the meters. Pay or don't pay, just shut the fcuk up about it and stop bothering other people not to pay it.

That's bad enough, but what properly gets up my left nostril lately is turning on the radio only to be forever hearing some clever, earnest fool of a bint blathering on about saving water by getting the children to wash their hands with their own urine the way Great-Grandad did in the RAF, leaving the day's excrement pile up in the toilet bowl until it resembles something from a particularly unsalubrious corner of Calcutta and flushing at bedtime, using a burette to fill tea-mugs and the kettle, yadda-yadda. Just fcuk straight off!! :mad:

You won't need to tune into Joe Duffy today to know what the calls will be about....'can't even afford a cup of tea Joe! It's a disgrace Joe!'

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.

There is a woman on the radio (pregnant) giving out because nobody on the LUAS stood up to give her a seat,
despite the fact she is wearing a ( if I heard it correctly) "Bump on board" badge.

I wouldn't mind people speaking out about it so much if I thought they were having any effect on the issue but we all know that people will give out and plaster their FB wall with pictures of envelopes saying "no contract, return to sender" etc. but in the end...everyone will fúcking pay anyway, because that's what we do. Complain. Pay.

I wouldn't mind people speaking out about it so much if they knew the facts and not what some eejit in the pub told them or some campaign ****e on facebook told them.

I have a big issue with people having their protests on the main road, blocking traffic, get out of my bloody way, I have to get to work or get home! I drive through one small village on my way to work and I work in a small town and I met 3 different protests this morning, standing out on the roads. I passed one protest yesterday and the protestors were standing, hand in hand around one of the IW vans blocking the workers from getting out, you can be guaranteed if one of the workers managed to get the door open, they'd fling themselves on the ground and be screaming about assault.
I also have a big issue with people dragging their kids out on these protests and then posting on facebook "we're asking all motorists to be careful around the area because we're out protesting and have no choice but to stand out on the road and in entrances and obviously there are kids with us so please slow down", GET OUT OF THE FOOKING ROAD!

The silly bint who beeped me yesterday for not stopping inside a yellow box. How dare I stop since the traffic was backed up, and allow cars from an estate to pull out into the junction. Just go fúck yourself. If you are so tight for time that you are a menace to everyone else on the road, maybe you should just leave earlier.

With the incident on the M50 yesterday, traffic was a nightmare. I was driving from Terenure to the North side at about 8 yesterday evening and there was some lunatic constantly flashing his lights and beeping in a rage in his car. He was weaving in and out of lanes and pulling off some crazy manoeuvres. He went up the wrong side of the road at one point on Patrick St causing chaos for oncoming traffic, got to the top of the queue at the red light, and turned left into the traffic turning right from the opposite direction nearly causing a massive accident.

I then seen him later on the Finglas Road driving real slow and not a care in the world.

My annoyance while driving was not the traffic, I was coming from a football match where I came off injured and pulled/tore a muscle in my calf. All that clutching was agony.

Amazes me why people think beeping will make the traffic move. "oh hang on, there is someone behind beeping, better switch the car to flight mode, open the doors and take off" :rolleyes:

There is a junction near our house that is sometimes backed up and sometimes clear. Drives me mad as I never know what to expect when I turn the corner. It's as of there are traffic elves that hold it up on some days but not on others - nothing to do with weekends/rush hour either. It might be clear on a Tuesday at 8am but blocked on a Thursday at 07:50

Lately, amongst most utterences from betwixt a politicians lips, its "I apologise for causing offense/concern............ BUT I fail to see the conflict of interest/issue.....!!"
Honestly its like saying 'Black is actually white so far as i can see it but I will accept the wrong opinion of every body else"
The TD who made a high up worker in Irish Water his Ministerial driver without advertising for the role really cant see what the issue is.....really

There's method in my madness, honest.:D I like to decide exactly what I'm getting for them all and find the best prices online. Usually by the beginning of December I've bought the stuff at a good price and without all the hassle. Organisation is the key.

Aglomerado · 01-10-2014 02:04PM

Friends on facebook whom I know have a septic tank and a private well supplying the water to their house repeatedly posting stuff about boycotting Irish Water. :mad:

You remind me of my sister. She's another dinger at all that kind of stuff, a bizarre hybrid of Nigella Lawson and the Terminator! :pac::pac::pac:

Trying to wax myself but due to me not having eyes in the back of my head, not removing all the wax and getting my uniform literally stuck to me.

That's me alright, I can easily rustle up a full Christmas dinner for 11 while I'm sipping champagne and smiling at the in-laws, all the time seething with inner resentment at them.
