You are supposed to wear other clothes under the coat ( apart from the jackboots)

Nonsense. What's the bloody point in taking up two whole cows if I only have to wear other crap as well??

Speaking of coats, I bought this little number a couple of months ago as a tranisitonal coat for summer into autumn

but the weather is so f*cked up that it looks like I'm going to have to go straight from rain gear to winter coat having only worn it a couple of times http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/navy-textured-duster-coat-_322154241

I'll be rocking the same coat from the last three years sadly, as finances won't extend to a new winter coat this year:rolleyes:

Hozier. And the fact that he is everywhere. It was difficult enough to avoid when only TXFM were caning him over the past few months before everyone else but now I can't seem to avoid him and his absolutely sh1te warblings

while we're on the subject of jackets, i'm tempted by this

http://www.adidas.ie/graphic-jacket/F50150_290.html

But I'm always hesitant about buying online because you cant try the F*Cker on. I'm constantly seeing things I like, then try it on and I look like a donkeys hind quarters in it.

Two aul wans who spy each other opposite sides of Moore Street

"Biddy? Biddy, is it really you?"
"Jaysus, Agnes, it must be thirty years since I last saw, you got very old looking"
"For fcuks sake Biddy, I would'nt have known you only for your coat!"

Would I be correct to say, that style of coat, in fashion circles, is referred to as a Riding coat?

It's very nice.

My sister buys most of her clothes online as she likes 'vinatge' stuff. She's pretty good at this stage at knowing what will and won't suit/fit her etc. and she just sends back anything that doesn't, but having to go to the trouble of sending something back and then being without the item of clothes that you wanted is more than trivally annoying. I prefer the instant gratification of an in-store purchase!

Vel · 08-10-2014 04:00PM

When you buy clothes in shop, they look great, and you try them on when you get home and realise that some serious subterfuge was going on in the changing room with the lighting/mirror

Vel · 08-10-2014 04:02PM

Ballinsloe Horse Fair and that element it attracts that treat their animals like pieces of rubbish to be used/abused and dumped/passed on when of no use anymore. Some of the pictures I am seeing are just horrible. And then RTE NEws do a big fluff piece on it and about how it is a great Irish tradition. Sickening.

My husband has something simillar that I bought him years ago, a full length leather Stockmans coat. He hasn't worn it since we've been back in Ireland, somethings you just can't wear here without drawing smartarse remarks. It cost me a small fortune too.

yeppydeppy · 08-10-2014 04:07PM

I'd like a nice sheepskin jacket but no where in the universe does the jacket I'm looking for exist.

You'd need a fantastic figure not to look very heavy in the hips in that coat.:D

I don't own a smart phone. I am perfectly content with my run of the mill phone that can make calls and send texts. I am happy to access the internet when at work (err...) or at home on the run of the mill laptop. When I tell certain people this, they act like I have just told them that I am in a relationship with my dog.

Me too

I like having a phone whose battery doesn't die every 4 hours because it's so busy performing every task known to man and allowing the user to live vicariously through it on social networking sites. I like the idea that if I leave it behind me somewhere, it will still be there when I go back for it. Although I recently upgraded to one from the recycling bin that has a calculator and alarm clock function, so I have to watch it now in case it's lifted

People who call or text radio stations looking for a song to be played.

Any song you could possibly want to hear at any stage is literally the touch of a button away these days.

What's the point? So they're in agreement with you and they play 'your' song?! Go away! Muppets!

LynnGrace · 08-10-2014 04:27PM

Not reading something properly. Darn it. Had to go into PO earlier, thought I had everything I needed, aaaargh. Anyway, got sorted, just annoyed with myself.

gramar · 08-10-2014 04:44PM

Asking a favour and then changing your mind and being a general nuisance to the person who is doing you the favour and probably making them think that you're an annoying arséhole.

I'm the arséhole by the way in this scenario.

Defrosted some chicken fillets last night in preparation for a home-made chicken curry this evening.
Made sure I had all the ingredients; tinned tomatoes, mixed beans, peppers, etc etc.

I started dicing the meat, chopping the peppers, ground the spices...............then I realised I have no chillies left and there's no rice.
Cue last-minute dash to the shop

This kind of happened to me yesterday. Forgot to defrost the chicken breasts the night before, but had all the other ingredients, I was feeling ill so I just got something else in the corner shop. Last night when I looked in the freezer I realised that we'd used the chicken already:D I'm vegetarian so I lose track of what meat/chicken has been cooked since it's my husband and the cats that eat it.

The rare occasions that I cook, I'm expecting a brass band and two medals and all I get is "you didn't mash the potatoes properly. Why didn't you ask me? I'd have done it". Yeah would ya?! Didn't know you could mash potatoes on a play station, my bad, ungrateful git. I hope he chokes on his lumpy potatoes

I usually get my husband to mash the potatoes, I always leave lumps in the mash, when I can find decent potatoes that don't turn to sludge in the pot. Don't ever use a blender to make mash, I tried it once and the result was disgusting.
