    The old queen mum ruined a trip to Whitby for us with her funeral, everything was shut but the pubs. We were living in York but went to Whitby for a few days, ironically the day of the queen mums funeral we were sitting in a pub called the Duke of York.:D

    She died on Easter Sunday; my first Easter in Ireland and it dominated the day.

    In every waiting room, there is always someone with an annoying cough. And someone else who seems intent on clearing their sinuses by sniffling from what can only be described as the throat upwards.

    Sounds just like me today on both count but at least I am alone with it...Dratted cold has solidified! Would never go to the drs with that though.Might catch something even worse there.....

    My electric shower, the difference between not quite hot enough and scalding is only a couple of mm on the dial

    The one here alternates between scalding and cold.. quite an art in timing... I hate
    showers anyway.. get enough rain without them!

    Stupid head cold is driving me nuts, caught it from Mr Pumpkinseeds, and to think at first I thought he had a case of man flu. My nose is getting flaky and raw and I've got backache from sneezing. Blooming cat also needs vet trip today.:(

    Resonating... I am dog tired after yesterday and keep losing my voice as talked so much yesterday.. all choked up and coughing... The sneezing seem to have stopped thankfully.

    Having a VERY BAD DAY...panicking re stock for two big craft fairs at the weekend.. victim of my own success of course..everything has gone wrong today... seems as if the toilet in the downstairs toilet is leaking.. I had thought it was rain coming under the door, aided by my old incontinent collie... it will have to wait until after the weekend now.. will just avoid using it!

    Someone gave me a rather luscious looking cake yesterday... saved it until just now then bit into it to find it is marzipan which I hate

    Have read the riot act to the cats as they turned their noses up at their usual food then cried hunger...

    Ah well, soon be bedtime

    If you feel like soup, have soup.. ... soup is always right

    In full agreement on this one, there are times when there's nothing quite like a good hot bowl of soup :)

    People who shoot defenceless animals for fun. Sick in the head. I'm onto one at the moment that I suspect is breaking the law...just need to wait for the right time to f.uck him over :)

    You go girl ( or guy!) I am up in the forestry here and the farmers who own land have NO SHOOTING signs up but always once or twice we hear gunshots.. I know who to call now. Apparently French men enjoy it

    Excellent...;)

    She was as vital as anyone else, no more and no less. I remember thinking what a stupid, horrible, unnecessary accident taking the life of a young woman like that and leaving those two youngfellas without their mam. And what a lonely, miserable and terrifying thing it was to die in the back of that Mercedes while being photographed by ghouls. :(

    I did not mean vital in that way.. sorry.. hard to express it.. maybe as important to others as she was, whose death caused just as much grief to loved ones.. she chose her lifestyle and that was the real tragedy.

    Whatever lifestyle she chose had very little to do with being slammed into a wall at high speed by some chimp who shouldn't have been driving a wheelbarrow.

    Me and my friend and her new baby went to the salon in another town to get my hair cut. I kept blacking out during it, like not noticeable, but I couldn't see and my head felt all fuzzy. Rather than be normal and tell my friend I needed her to drive us home in my car, I had to be a cow about it and blamed her baby's car seat behind the drivers seat taking up too much room and she could be uncomfortable the way home instead. I'm raging with myself for being such a c-word and can't bring myself to apologise and back down , because I don't want to explain why I can't drive

    Salt shakers should have one hole.

    Pepper shakers should have at least two holes.

    Any deviation from this standard in an indication that the devil has been up to no good.

    OHDEARGOD:mad: The christmas lights garland I ordered for around the living room mirror arrived, so I decided to put them up to make sure they work. Who packs these things, minions of Satan? First I had to use a scissors to hack my way into the packaging. Then I had to untangle multiple strands of lights and bits of fake pearl and fake diamond(it's not nearly as tacky as it sounds):D It works and looks pretty but I did too much untangling and then had to entwine it again while one of our cats decided to 'help'.

    Being constantly harassed when I am f.ucking tired. I feel an inner rage at this stage. Would everybody just please f.uck right off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭Dramatik


    People who pick things up in a shop and don't put them back where they found them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    People who drop chewing gum on the footpath. Put it in the bin ffs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,491 ✭✭✭kingtut


    People who go to the cinema and leave their empty sweet / drinks containers behind them! There are bins provided for a reason! Fair enough if there are no bins but there are!!!

    People might say but the staff get paid to clean up but doesn't give you the right to act like a pig!

    Not to be too obvious about it, but have you gone to the doctor about this? It's not normal to black out or be unable to see properly.

    Riles me up everytime I see this. And whenever I put my rubbish in the bin at the end of the film and the staff notice this, they always say thanks! Almost like they are grateful for such a rarity!

    Yeah I have, they're just little fits but it's not something I'm comfortable discussing with people I know offline which is why I made her drive back thinking the car seat made my seat uncomfortable.

    TA that my only proper day off evenings are taken up dealing with idiots, one telling me shed confirm our meeting this evening by text. The other telling me a time didn't suit, then all of a sudden both of them are waiting for me an hour away. I'm snapping.

    And the run up to Christmas will only make it worse.:D

    Keep having sexy dreams when I sleep. They're like normal dreams except I'm in them. The hardship


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭Barely There


    The amount of cars on the road without a full complement of working lights.

    I reckon about 15% of the cars I see have a least one light not working - the other morning I passed a car that had one headlight, one sidelight and one front foglight not working.

    The guards need to start cracking down on these people - it's potentially dangerous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Vel


    Shop assistants who are ON you the second you walk into a shop. It's enough to make me leave straight away. At least give me a couple of minutes browsing time before you try to commence your sales pitch, which will fail anyway because I never impulse purchase!

    I love an oul sexy dream;) However I had one a few years ago about a work colleague I sat beside at the time and it made me feel very strange and it made me act all awkward around him from then on even though he knew nothing about it!

    Also the opposite, people who don't adjust their headlights and constantly blind me on the road.

    This really annoys me! I have seen too many cars on the motorway with only one light :mad: :mad: :mad:

    For their own comfort and safety I can't understand how do they not notice/get this sorted immediately??

    Hate these people! Having been TA'd by them for years I have now perfected the perfect way of looking them up and down and giving a curt, "no"* when they ask if they can help.

    *have to higher the tone just a tad and place a slight question sound on the end.

    Also, those motorists who flash their lights at you in the fast lane.

    I was coming up to a lorry this morning so I went to overtake it, taking all of maybe 6 or 7 seconds, this arse speeds up behind me flashing her lights. Be patient. Wait two seconds and I'd be out of your way, but now out of spite I think I'll be EXTRA sure I'm well in front of the lorry before crossing back over.
