My OH still won't tell me what she wants for Christmas. I'm close to leaving TA behind and just being really f.ucking angry.

I was in a lovely bakery earlier where they have little samples of the various cakes available for people to try. Some absolute grubby be-atch fondled nearly every one with her bare hands in an attempt to find what I assume was the biggest piece.

An Post putting the 'return to sender' stickers over the addressee's name on the envelope - pain in the backside!

Ridiculous amounts of compensation being awarded for minor injuries. In the last 2 days I've read about 2 cases where each individual was awarded more than 20 grand each for relatively minor injuries. 1 guy got about 23 grand for falling off a 'defective kerb' and scraping his knees. The parents of a child who fell and hit his head on a radiator in a pub when he was 1 and a half were awarded more than 26 grand for the scar on his head. Ffs, the world has gone mad.:mad:

Some people are mank. A guy just opened the fridge at work, and sneezed straight into it. Didn't make any attempt to cover his mouth or anything. I've got a (closed) carton of milk in there, don't want to touch it now :mad:

You need to smack his face with a leather glove and demand satisfaction, I suggest pistols at dawn.............not a rendition of The Stones hit.

Jesus! I'd put up with a lot, but that's right up there with skid marks! :mad:

Meanwhile, having sat for too long when your legs go numb and someone asks are you coming for lunch, it's easier just say "no", than struggle like a beached whale for the next 20 minutes while trying to get some feeling back in your legs...

Watching them walk off like "see that snobby bastard, doesn't want to go for lunch with us now" looks on their faces... feck it, they'll be over it by the time they get back

I said it this time last year and I'm saying it again today, bus loads of kids being brought to shopping centres to perform for parents and grandparents collect for charity. Every fecking year it's the same primary school with the little 6 year olds. Right smack outside the main shops you want to get into. I'd to go into Dunnes via one door and out the other door just to get to the trolley bay. Bussing 100+ kids to a busy shopping centre is fcuking ridiculous. The school is a 20 minute walk away at most. It can't be cheap to hire a coach and it's fcuking annoying. That's the 5th local school to be rattling a bucket in the shopping centre since last week.:mad:

Just reading the paper there...

Gardai arrested a guy in Cork, a father of sixteen kids, in his forties....but hold on,
they also arrested his twenty two year old son, who is a father of seven, AND his partner is expecting their eight child. Imagine if all sixteen reproduce at that rate, has anyone got a calculator?

Now is it just me.............

See that's why I always laugh when dads say they want sons because they're less hassle than girls. It would be next to impossible to have that many kids at 22 for girls. Boys are more hardship

Boom_Bap

Organising people to be on-call over Christmas and oraganising people to be in the office over the holiday period.
My good jesus, I've been at this for over a month now and still people are chopping and changing.

Could be done (legally?)....maybe twins here or there.;)

Reproducing at that rate, I'd nearly wonder how they even found time to get into trouble! This clip explains a lot -

Town at this time of year. Mother of God. It's insane. People everywhere. Can't move. Slow f.cukers in front, fast f.uckers behind. People bumping and pushng and shoving. Happy Jesus's birthday!!!!!

Mmm. I made the tactical schoolboy error of cruising down to Mahon Point shopping centre in Cork on the afternoon of December 23rd last. Nice place, bright, roomy, nice shops, etc. but the traffic. Oh by Cheeses the traffic in and out of the blasted place...

Said it before but it's worthy of another mention. People who say, "Oh hi" when you answer their call.

Golf umbrellas, useful in acres and acres of nobody else around. Not so useful digging a spoke into the back of my head while walking down a busy street! :mad:

Took slight comfort from watching said umbrella dragging it's hapless owner down the street, before turning inside out on him

"Would you like a bag, or anything??" from youngwans in grocery stores. "No, I have a bag here thank you, but this 'anything' malarkey has me intrigued. I'd like a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado, a stable World energy supply, a fair crack-of-the-whip for the little guy, and a large side-plate of peace and goodwill!"

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not averse to swearing where appropriate or for emphasis. But people who put f***ing in the middle of multi syllable words. Un (f***ing) believable, Liver (f***ing) pool, etc. Just does my head in.

You wait ages for the noise to die down so that you can actually hear your ears and make a call...and just as soon as you dial the number the place goes deathly quiet so that everyone can hear what you are saying.

Remember last year when the good weather meant loads of xmas trees came into people's houses with ladybird infestations?

Yeah well this year it seems to be worms - a dozen of the fcukers have dropped off my tree in the half hour it has be standing! Lovely

When I stage my benevolent coup, all umbrellas will be banned anywhere other than on the golf course.

This. I had to go to the chemist today to see if I could get something to stop me hoofing. I practically crawled my way onto grafton street, on the verge of passing out, and had people shove into me in all directions, got to boots then and it was like battling through a stampede to get to the bottom of the shop, people pushing and weaving and out because God forbid they get held up for a second.

I've just had my annual review which went well, the annoyance is that now I feel the work year is over, everyone is taking it easy and I still have to come into the office Thursday and Friday - I want my holidays. Plus why do I keep thinking today is Thursday?
