    No disrespect intended , but how in God's name does someone perish in a fire?? I can understand perishing up a mountain or in the sea, because they are cold places. It's always TA'd me.

    But it's so smooth after though, be like a weirdo asking people to stroke your face to feel how soft it is!

    My TA is the fact that every single time I eat, I think of something vile and make myself feel sick.

    Black pepper on my food? *lexies brain* - "that looks like mouse shi.t, you're eating mouse shi.t"
    Pasta bake? "Gloopy cum"
    Having soup? "There was probably a mouse running across that wiping his ass with it and his tail and all. You have a piece of a mouses tail in your mouth".

    It's completely irrational, but I do it every single time. Even drinking my protein shakes, mid swallow I'll have the vilest thought and start retching.

    /dumps todays pasta bake into the bin....... :(

    The train is packed and some girl is saving a seat next to her as clearly she doesn't want anyone beside her. I have a seat but as soon as the train starts moving I'm going to move and sit next to Her.

    People who actually sound like they're kissing when sucking sweets. I'm filling up with even more rage each time she does it, it's like smack smack smack. What the ****, were you raised with pigs? I'm glaring at her, proper full on evils and she hasn't even realised. She's done it 9 times so far into my message. When the trolley comes around with drinks I'm going to get one and slurp it so loud her ears will bleed. See how she likes dem apples

    We were meant to go somewhere tonight, but the Luas broke down and my OH is stuck in town, buses don't run properly either thanks to the water protests and traffic is crazy so no point trying to pick him up.

    Perhaps she just wants to drive you to another seat. See that empty one over there? Go on! You know you want to.

    Ridiculous portrayals of illness by people who don't know what they're talking about.:mad: I've just been watching some model turned actress whose current film is apparently portraying the 'reality' of someone with epilepsy. I don't know who she spoke to about Epilepsy but as someone who has had epilepsy for more than 30 years, she is talking out of her arse and making stupid statements that give bad information and actually harms perceptions of epilepsy rather than improving what people know about it and how they might perceive it. Stupid stuff like saying that people with epilepsy spend lots of time at their GP trying to get it under control. It shows her walking around with the world as a complete blur and having almost constant hallucinations and seeing lightening flashes, WHAT THE ACTUAL FCUK? I see a neurologist once a year ffs and have never experienced what she's portraying epilepsy to be.

    Someone calls to the house and you politely offer them a tea or coffee.
    Oh I would love a coffee they reply.
    Go to cupboard.....no bloody coffee! :/

    Maybe it's different for her though, I understand what you're saying, and I've literally only been diagnosed with it in the last couple of months but this week alone I don't even know how many fits I've had. I can't even drive anymore.
    It seems so complex and different for everyone. Anything I read on it doesn't make sense.

    So this evening I had to make a CD of seasonal choons for a friend, now her vee-ikle doesn't play mp3 so it had to be an ordinary audio CD. Now when I sat down to do it I realised that I hadn't actually done any sort of a disc in years and couldn't quite remember how. Took me 3 attempts to get it right. After the second failed attempt getting annoyed I broke the CD in two before throwing in the bin, this of course sent shards of CD around the kitchen floor, which I'm sure despite a thorough sweeping I will find a piece with my bare feet in days to come

    That is all

    I was in the cinema last year, enjoying the film, and someone starts eating, what I can only describe as rock.

    Really loud "crunch, crunch, crunch". I caved after maybe 10 minutes.

    I turned to them and asked "what are you eating? Rocks or something? I paid to see the film too."

    More recently, was in an imax watching Interstellar, and fella beside me was chewing gum so loud. So, I said "Stop chewing in my ear"

    Etiquette, dear etiquette.

    I did something similar last week....the freezer needed to be defrosted so when I squeezed loads into the drawer it wouldnt shut properly...I tried moving stuff around but still couldnt get the fecking door closed so I opened the drawer and lashed it back in as hard as I could in temper...the front of it split and a big chunk of plastic fell off:mad: the following day I cut my thumb badly on the broken part...If i could have lifted it the whole freezer would have gone out the window at that stage:mad::D

    All this argument on line about how many protested today. The anti water charges people with 100,000. The pro camp with 30,000. Neither will, naturally, accept any figure but their own. Official figures from Gardai, corporation etc are dismissed as biased. So what? Its over and you will never convince the other side so let it go.

    It gets a lot easier for most people, once the right anti-convulsant medications are prescribed. But, from the brief clips I saw and the description she gave, it portrayed people with epilepsy as basically wandering around in a constant hallucinogenic feeble haze and incapacitated to the point of not being able to function normally, which is absolute bollox.

    Was woken this morning by Maria Carey squealin' on the radio. Fookin ear bleed she is I wonder do they play her songs in Guantanamo bay..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    I'm gonna be really slated for this but I don't care. That Pakistani teenager, Milala whatever her name is, is really getting on my proverbials. Getting a Nobel peace prize for essentially being shot and talking about what you would like the world to be like bugs the arse off me. She could go on tv and say she'd like to buy the world a coke, or something equally vacuous and they'd applaud her. Sick to death of seeing her on every news channel for the past 2 days. Could they not have waited until she actually achieved something before giving her a Nobel peace prize? Jesus wept.:mad:

    They do, but only when it's not Christmas.

    When I'm up early, prepared and calm arriving in time for the train, the train is always really late. Two trains didn't show up this morning. When I'm running late (most days) the train is on time or a minute early.

    Aul ones who talk about depressing stuff non stop, and they relay it with such fascination. "Scandalous!! Robbed!! On the tram!! You do see gangs of them getting on alright!! You'd be shaken!!"

    I often asked why to get a Nobel prize in physics or chemistry you have to have discovered something of merit, proven it and established the discovery or theory within the scientific community. But for the peace prize it's given for a notion or single action that often hasn't achieved what the intention was?

    Prick trying to pin my arm up against the door of the tube because he didn't want to move his (for rush hour, a ****ing ridiculous amount of) luggage 6 inches in front of him, then trying to talk to me like I'm a 5 year old when I told him to get the fcuk off my arm, then getting to work, seeing a testing report and realising I'd forgotten to give QA updated requirements yesterday so no chance of my app getting deployed before Christmas network freeze on Friday.

    I want to go back to bed.

    I guess with her it's because she kept up her campaigning in spite of being shot, when others might have taken the hint and piped down. I remember thinking she was a f.ucking idiot for persisting and then I realised actually the more famous she became the safer she was, because they knew they wouldn't get away with quietly killing her - the whole world was watching. but...yeah she annoys me!

    The vague delivery dates a lot of online retailers are giving. I was going to order something yesterday from Amazon UK, but when I got to the checkout bit it showed the stuff as coming from America with a delivery estimate of Dec 19th to Jan 12th, I know Dec 19th is last date for post from here to Uk, so I didn't bother as I'm guessing it'd be post Christmas when it arrives.

    Second trivial annoyance is ridiculous delivery charges. No, I am not going to pay more for the delivery of a purchase than the item actually cost.:mad:
