Awake between 4.15 and 6 , serenaded with a medley of tunes by the youngest. Then she only dozed till 7,am like a zombie. Have a longing for pancakes and Nutella, and just discovered there is only a scrape of Nutella left . The shop is 2 minutes up the road, but its too much effort and I look like the Wreck of the Hesperus. Teenager is not dressed yet, and is a bag of hormones, if I ask her to go, I'll be lucky if I have pancakes for lunch. The rest of em still in bed. Waaaaaahhhh!

Slightly off thread but the LIDL chocolate nut spread is excellent and far cheaper than NUtella.. I dont buy either as I would just sit and eat the lot with a spoon :rolleyes:

Cars with the wrong front light bulbs, ie, ones with a slightly blue, green or yellowish hue

Someone in my neighbourhood has pink headlights to match the lurid pink car she drives. It's atrocious and I suspect it's the female equivalent of using a car to compensate for penis envy.

One of hours is just short of 9 kilos. He loves to tenderise my husband by kneading him repeatedly while reversing up his chest. It's like being tenderised.:D

People in their 20s who work in music or charity shops yet can't handle cds properly. I've even seen one person place a disc face down on the counter.

Is that bad? (ducks;)) been years since i handled or had any CDs...

fiachr_a · 22-11-2014 04:11PM

When you go into a charity or 2nd-hand shop, spend ½ an hour browsing the CD section, find one eventually that's not available anywhere else, bring the case to the counter, and then they can't find the disc. I'll still remember those wasted 30 minutes in 2050 on my death bed!

Can they not just leave the CD's in the case, on display?. I cant imagine theft is a big problem for charity shops.....or am I naive?

I've suddenly got a real craving for coffee and walnut cake. Strange, as I haven't eaten any for years.

My last dog would shed like bejasus....the hall looked like a showdown in a western, tumbleweeds all over the place, we went through a few vacuum cleaners with him. We now have two non-sheds......bliss.

We have 2 shedders and 2 non-shedders, definitely couldn't have 4 shedders, I have asthma, I'm bad enough as it is!

Lamdlord inspection this week and I have so much cleaning to do and while my OH is great at helping, our roommate isn't and I imagine its going to mostly fall on me to clean because I have a less busy timetable then they do

My ability to underestimate things. It gets me into nothing but hardship.
I never drink coffee tea red bull ect, falling asleep in work this morning, went and got a black coffee with an extra shot in it. Be grand, wake me up, I'll have loads of energy I thought. No. I've been on the verge of a heart attack all day, I had the shakes, I had palpitations, I tried to eat to "sober" me up and it did jack ****.
You'd swear i was blowing coke all day, the state of me.I think Im sensitive or allergic to it.

Cotton wool and Vaseline, saw it on one of those survival shows, works a treat. Though why you would have those in the wilds is beyond me ?

People talking over the TV.
I was in my granny's house over the weekend and I was trying to watch the Late Late Show.
As soon as Sinead O' Connor came on, my granny plopped onto the couch and started lambasting her, saying things like "Ohh, she's a head banger! She's a hoer with 4 kids by 4 different men! She's a wagon rar rar rar!"
My granny's hatred of Sinead O' Connor knows know bounds. I was trying to hear what she had to say but my granny just wouldn't STFU. :mad: Then, when I went into the kitchen to try and watch the rest of the show in peace, she took a phonecall in the kitchen and completely drowned out what Dara O' Briain was talking about.
*screams*

Had to chop up some wood to make kindling, added in a newspaper and I got it going. Slower than firelighters and a pain in the ass, but at least it worked.

I hate it when you have to attend some kind of godawful in-service training for work, ya know the kind of thing that's mandatory for all staff like "effective communication in the workplace" or some such. My two least favourite phrases uttered by the usually over-enthusiastic instructor are: "Ok, so we're just going to go round the room and get everyone to introduce themselves and say something about themselves."

This will shortly be followed by a little blast of theory about whatever nonsense is being pedalled. Then next comes this old chestnut: "Ok, so if I could get everyone to push the tables back against the wall and form a circle."

Whenever I hear that phrase it makes me think spontaneous human combustion might actually be possible.

SureYWouldntYa · 22-11-2014 10:23PM

When you're in someone's company, do you say "I'm going to the toilet" being all awkward, or do you just say nothing and walk out ?

PizzamanIRL · 22-11-2014 10:28PM

When I can't say no to my 3 year old niece.

Working on a project all day. Or should I say, trying to work on it.

My niece was here until 4pm.

"Pizzaman, look at my drums"

"Pizzaman, look at my new trumpet" which she was playing for ages downstairs

"Pizzaman, let's have a tune party"

"Pizzaman, can I play the colour game on your phone?"

"Pizzaman, come down and get your chocolate muffin. PIZZAMAN! PIZZAMAN!"

"Pizzaman, let's play hide and seek"

Hear her downstairs "wait I want to show Pizzaman how I throw my jacket on over my head" *footsteps up the stairs* "Pizzaman look at this!"

"Pizzaman, lets jump on your bed. You stand up and hold my hands. No, stand up and make me go higher"

It's safe to say I got feck all done today.

usually everyone knows everyone else in the inhouse training to start with.

I just say ''can you excuse me for a couple of minutes?'' and leave their preence. Hardly rocket science.

'The Christmas' 'Crimbo' :mad: People, it's called Christmas, it's not that fcuking hard to get right and the other 2 sound knackerish.

I love all those American true crime/detective programmes where they focus on a murder(s) and the subsequent investigation of gathering suspects, evidence, building a case against someone and the court trial.

But one common thing I notice in many cases which bugs the sh!t outa me is when, for example, a husband is strongly suspected of murdering his wife - the guy having a motive to do it (the fact he just happened to take out a large life insurance policy on his wife a few months before, or he's having an affair etc), DNA evidence placing him at the scene and on the victims body, a few hours on the day of the murder that the guy can't account for, witnesses placing the guy at or near the crime scene, basically everything pointing to the husband showing him to be guilty as sin and it being just impossible that anyone else would have done it......and then you have the kids of the husband coming out defending him. "No no my dad wouldn't do that to my mom, he's a nice person".
I think in nearly all these situations they know deep down their father murdered their mother but don't want him to go to prison and then have no parents. Sad really!

Crowd following.

Rubberlegs · 23-11-2014 09:23AM

On the subject of true crime shows, why is it when they do reconstructions they use really good looking people? They look absolutely nothing like the people they are acting the part of. I was watching one and the husband had murdered the wife. The actor they used was a very good looking fella, tall, dark and handsome. I nearly bust my arse laughing when they showed courtroom footage. The actual husband was a little cock eyed runt:D.

My left arm trivially annoys me. When I'm in bed it gets in my way, there is nowhere comfortable for it to go. So I usually end up sleeping with it under me, or straight up over my head, to try and keep it out of the way. Either way I end up with a sore, strained arm:'(
