    I'm in Limerick, and visited the capital for a few days. People in work saying to me the next day "Oh you went down to Dublin did you?"

    No, I went UP to Dublin. Really annoying.

    The railways designated the line used from Limerick to Dublin as the down line. Hence down to Dublin.

    The queue to tag off at the luas stop. Or should I say the non-queue, as people just bundle around it all waving their cards and gobshi.tes trying to push their card over yours before you've tagged off. It takes a full second to tag off. Silly bint tried to tag off as I was doing it this morning so I had to practically hold her off with the elbow of the same arm I was tagging off with until it was done. What an idiot. Then she tried to say something smart, at least she gaped a bit like a fish. I can't hear you I have headphones on ah la la laaaaaa!

    People who moan on and on and on and on and on, then when I try to give them a solution that would end the moaning in 2 seconds, they interrupt to keep moaning. You'll get a slap in the bake if I ever meet ye!

    This reminds me of people that don't take your advice the first time, then come back a second time with the same problem, so you give them the same advice again, and do they put it into practice this time? Do they fcuk, couple of weeks later, back with the same problem again, and then the classic -

    "You're not listening to meeeee".

    I've listened to them numerous times already, I usually record my meetings with people, I'm thinking perhaps I should just play them back to them instead of wasting my time going back over things again and again every couple of weeks!


    Also, nobody wants to go to Taylor Swift with me, I said I'd pay for the tickets and all, but nooooo... :(

    Got a text from my local garage to remind me I need to get a service. They spelled 'your' as "ur". Probably to keep within the 160 character limit, but still... :mad:

    When you don't quite have a hangover but kind of do. You know the way it is - feel fine and then bam - wave of nausea. Feel fine again then feel a wave of seediness creeping up.... Grrr...



    Salt and grease will either kill or cure me now.... Not sure what to do. Starve the hangover out or take a risk with a few sausages and bacon...

    There's a lad I see in college who wears a gold watch on the cuff of his jumper. He has to make sure everyone sees his watch, you know?

    Just like another lad who wears a sleeveless vest in the winter to show off his new tattoo.

    ONW - fruit (for some reason pineapple and grapes in particular) is amazing for hangovers!


    It's annoying how absolutely everything's making me feel sick lately. I eat, I'm sick, then I'm okay. Last night when the OH collected me from train, we went for food. I wasn't that hungry so I only had shredded chicken no chips or rice or anything. When we were about to leave I felt horrid nauseous, and then the waiter brought sweet and sour something to another table and I thought I was going to retch right there on the spot. I barely made it to the bathroom. I've never thought sweet and sour could smell so strong it was disgusting.

    and what was even more annoying was some bitch came to use the toilet (there's only one in this Chinese) and she obviously knew I was in there because I had the tap running when I was sick so nobody would hear, and then she started rattling on the handle, and then as I was washing my hands and all, I could hear her clearing her throat with those "hurry up" coughs.

    Ffs I wouldn't mind if I was ages in there I was literally only in there a few seconds before she arrived

    I would have purposely delayed, touched up makeup etc. An ignoramus like that deserves to be left outside a toilet.

    I was paranoid that if I spent too long in the bathroom shed think I pooped and I would have to walk out past her scarlet

    Do you maybe have some food intolerance? These can develop even if you never had an intolerance before?

    It's all about electrolytes! I think them, like coconut water, replace a lot of sodium and potassium, which is what your brain is starved of when you drink.

    So get the coconut water down ye!

    When companies (I think Velia might be one) put up signs saying they will "press for the highest possible penalty" for people who do x,y or z. It doesn't even make sense. This is a matter for the judge to decide.

    Mysteries:
    Does Lexie have a parasite?
    What was the good news someone had yesterday?
    Or were there two people with news they wouldn't tell us?
    Who is Lexie's stalker?

    When you want something in a particular size and you ask an assistant, "have you got this in size 12" - the glazed over "I will not help you" look they get around about where the bold text ends and then follow up with, "nah it's just what's out" - that's TA'ing.

    Is that on the Luas?
    I sometimes wonder, when someone doesn't have a ticket, what happens if they give a fake name and address?

    (P.S. I have an annual ticket, I don't have to tag off :D)

    Well nothing happened to me. Can't say the same for the lady who ratted me up to my previous LL for having a cat...she doesn't even recall travelling on the luas that day :D

    I'm ashamed to admit I broke into a bit of a Christmas song this morning, but managed to catch myself before anyone heard me, I don't know what came over me! :o

    I've administered plenty of Christmas begrudgery in the meantime to make sure it doesn't happen again :D
