Smart fúckin arses. Or...people who think they are. Just had the following conversation:

Me: It's terrible what's happening in Canada isn't it?
Him: What's happening in Canada?
Me: Er...have you been living under a rock?
Him: Well no but I don't have access to the news websites here, unlike you. I have work to do
Me: Um...I knew about this before I came in here this morning!

:eek::mad:

People having inappropriate conversations in public places. We went to the cinema tonight. The fact the carpark was awash with white transits should have warned us, but nope. We stood in the que with tangoed women, with hoopy earrings high heels and one actually had pj bottoms on her. Most of them had Paul's boutique coats. They had swarmed the place and two of them behind me in the que had a loud conversation about how his finger slipped into the wrong hole. What the actual ****?

Like call me old fashioned but that's not an image for the faint of heart.

Going in the wrong hole is never really an accident, us men just claim it is

Recruitment agencies.

I know there are good ones out there, but most of them seem to make estate agents look like angels.

I've spent the last few months trying to get my details removed from their systems. They always ignore me. Even when I make a complaint to the Data Protection Commissioner, which is the subsequently upheld, that same agency will be trying to get in touch with me a few weeks later.

90% of the calls to our company over the last two weeks have been from agencies responding to our job advert, even though the advert clearly states "No Recruitment Agencies".

They wont take no for an answer, they lie, they cheat, they don't care if I get angry with them, they talk nonsense and they are like the terminator in that nothing stops them pursuing you if they think they can make a quick buck.

Judgemental friends. 2 of my best friends have kids, both 2 year olds, A and B let's call them. Friend C is a friend from school, we'd go out for a few drinks together but wouldn't have the kind of friendship where you'd just call over to each others houses. I'm really close to A and B. A is my cousin and before she had her daughter, she was wild. B never goes out anymore.
Both of them work part time (because of the kids), I work full time. Anyhow, last night I was chatting C, and she was like "are you knocked up?" No. "I was talking to A, I asked her if you were out at the weekend. She said you weren't, that you must have been sick. I was wondering if you were after getting yourself loaded". So I stay at home one weekend and people think something's wrong.

Then last night I rang B to tell her I was offered that new job.
"That's great Lex, it'll be good for you." I tell her I'm worried I won't have time for the OH and the dogs. "You'll be grand, and it'll do you the world of good, because no offence to you, all you're doing is drinking and at least if you're busier you won't have time."
I work full time, she works part time, and she thinks I need a job to stop me drinking?

Anyway nice to see all 3 of my friends hold me in such high regard.

We got our wedding photos this week. There are lovely apart from the group photos. My 21 yr old (who is right at the front) is making faces in every single group photo apart from one where her face is hidden.:mad:

Which in turn is not nearly as bad as 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife. As Ed Byrne said years ago in one of his very few funny utterances....that's not ironic...it's fcuking stupid.

Correct. 10,000 spoons and one blunt knife, now - that's ironic and bloody stupid at the same time.

Our photographers enjoyed the free bar a bit too much and passed out before the night was over.

They still wanted full payment.

MsBubbles · 23-10-2014 11:28AM

Yikes grundie. It's TA cos we can't use any of the group photos.
if she was 10 I think ok a kid messing but at 21 FFS grow up.

That ghastly hip hop (or 'urban' or whatever the fcuk it is) constantly pumping out in every clothes shop you enter.

What is it with places like River Island where they assume all their customers enjoy this utterly offensive garbage? It's fcuking pish and puts me right off spending extra time in the store itself.

The size of checkout queues in Lidl. No matter which one you go to, Ireland or UK. I'm sure their managerial drones design this on purpose.

Oh yeah. I don't know what MS are at with IE9. It's like a space alien came down and saw a Web browser, then went back home and described it - with more hand-gestures than an Italian taxi-driver on LSD - to some other space aliens (who weren't terribly good programmers) who then reproduced it. :pac:

I don't care what it is:P In places like River Island curvier ladies over a size 12 aren't really catered for, so if you aren't shaped like a teenage boy there's no point even setting foot in the place.:D

I don't know how ye women put up with it. I have a canvas spirit-level case that has a better cut-and-dash to it than most of even the size 16 stuff in these places. :pac::pac::pac:

I gave up on River Island (and Topshop and various others) a long time ago, have found that shops aimed at the late teens/early 20s end of the market stock very little that will flatter an hourglass figure.

MsBubbles · 23-10-2014 11:58AM

I'd love to know what patterns R.I and Topshop use cos I girl I used to work with was a 10 everywhere except Topshop where she struggled to fit into a 14:eek:

The same aliens taught them to count to 10.

I have big boobs, wide hips and more ass than I'd like. I'd be fairly hourglass, and river island is my favourite shop! I get loads of nice stuff in there!

I think they're in league with the local food outlets. Having a 'fat day'/not finding anything you like in your size equals binging on a big slice of cake to feel better, that's followed quickly be self-loathing.:(:D

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 23-10-2014 01:52PM

Forgetting appointments and when I put it into my phone it doesn't remind me until the day of the appointment. I'm supposed to be getting my nails done at 4:30 and I'm in work til 6. I think I'll have to fake sickness.

OldNotWIse · 23-10-2014 02:05PM

The appetite that swimming gives me. I mean, I'm swimming to lose weight...but when I swim I get hungry...and eat more

So ****ing annoyed. When my dad passed away, we assumed there was no will made. He never once mentioned a will, and a few days before he died he asked my brother to get his solicitor to come to hospital to make a will but when the solicitor arrived to the hospital, he wouldn't do it as my dad was too sick.

There's a lot of stuff going on with my fathers farm, since years before he died. For the past 4 years I've taken on that stress and have been sorting it out from then. He's also owed 4,000 euro from some leech that preyed on him when he was sick and is refusing to pay it back now that he's dead.

4 years of having absolutely no help, 2 years looking after my dad and. 1 year of intense 24 hr care as he went through chemo, radiation, heart failure, losing power in his legs and not being able to walk, strokes, fits and finally stage 4 cancer that spread to his brain.

Not one person helped me. Not my brother, or my fathers family. The most they did was visit him in hospital towards the end. There was nobody to be seen when I was lifting him out of bed, into bed, onto the toilet, off the toilet, shaving him, washing him. I did all that by myself.

Now he's dead, and everyone and their ****ing mother is racing around to see what they can get for nothing. Turns out my father made a will after all, when I was 11 and my brother was 10. He made both his nephews executors, one is dying with cancer the other side of the country and the other one who hasn't spoken to me my brother or my mother (when she was alive) since 2001.

They're now in charge of my dads affairs, trying to sort this mess from 2010 out, and trying to get back the money from the leech who borrowed it. To make matters worse, the solicitor we've had on the case, who's been dealing with me for 4 years, has just emailed me to tell me she can no longer discuss the case with me as its none of my business, basically.

I actually am about to blow a fuse.
