So many things I am awaiting confirmation of - still waiting for my good news, which may not be as good as I thought and now I am slightly terrified! Waiting for a text from my OH who I am not talking to. Waiting for a text from my dad to tell me how much it will be to repair car. Waiting for a f.ucking text from St Peter to confirm if he has a locker and towel in my name and then....and then! My phone vibrates! What can it be? Good news? Not so good news? Car quote? Message from apologetic OH? St Peter confirming my name's on the list?

"I'm on the bus" - from my poxy f.ucking friend who I am seeing at lunchtime. I'm on the bus - would you ever f.uck off with yourself! Notwithstanding the fact that we already have a pre-arranged time and I cannot leave work before then anyway, so texting me updates of your journey is futile, do you not realise that every text now sends me onto another planet of panic and trepidation?! On the f.ucking bus. Of all places too

I'll be more than TA if we don't get to hear what this good news once you get confirmation:D

Sounds like ya might as well go for it and do a bit of rutting then, better to be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.

Just the thought of her down there hearing would have led to the legs staying involuntarily clamped shut:D

Which reminds me of a TA I would have posted on here when I was in college if this thread had existed! Out of my tree one night and decided it would be a good idea to bring a guy home - to my parent's house who I happened to be living with. He ended up having the loudest snore known to man and I completely panicked and shunted him out of the bed and out the door at about 5am, about 2 hours after we had arrived back there, much to his disgust. Especially considering he lived right across the other side of the city and he didn't even get the ride!!

the purple tin

My friend always says he'll meet me at half six or seven , one or half one etc
Which means I'm nearly always left hanging around like a tool for half an hour. If I ever decide to turn up at half one he comes at one on the dot. :mad:

is he still wearing the Jerusalem cruisers with socks

Yes!!

He is also the laziest Man in the world. I'm feeling pretty rough today and have a sore back and tummy. We're staying in a holiday home and leaving today so we have to clean. He sat there and watched me vacuuming, wincing the whole time. And he made a big deal about how he cleaned the kitchen but he just washed some dishes, nothing was put away and no surfaces wiped down or anything else so I had to go over the kitchen again. He sat on his ass and watched me do it.

My O.H is a manager in a private place, 2nd to the owner, all the staff are told to keep 5 days annual leave to cover the two weeks over Christmas/New Year, BUT owner decided not to open on Friday 2nd, and DEDUCTED a days pay from everyone that didn't have 6 days left (no one did), Owner left on her holls on the Wednesday and left my O.H to face the flack, but she got shortshifted too, lost the days pay an has no explanation for the staff, Owner also didn't put the wages thru till after 6pm on Christmas Eve, So this in my O.H's T.A, Is this one a Grinch or just a Christmas Cnut??? I told her get the staff on Monday to stay outside until this is cleared up and/or staff is paid,

Surely friday 2nd would come out of the 2015 leave anyway. I'm pretty sure she can't just do that with no notice anyway

Possibly not as the holiday year runs March to March for many companies, where I work it does anyway.

It is. He is very special!

I'm counting down the days until he leaves at this stage. I'm a terrible daughter in law

My husband did discuss the sparkly pony gift with him and he said he thought it was pretty and would look nice in my parents China cabinet

Having an appointment in Mac at 4 to get my makeup done real dramatic. Supposed to be finished work at 3:45. Some wench just booked in for 4 to have her makeup, and now I have to cancel my own. Distraught. I am listening to konmak all morning getting myself revved up and now I'm seriously disappointed.

I hope, in the course of the discussion your OH had, that he suggested your FIL ram said pony up his own hole.

He was very tempted - I would not have been so polite!

His trip started off on the wrong foot tbh. He forgot to pick up his luggage in dublin airport. He said he followed the guy in front and was suddenly out in the arrivals hall. We had to wait 2 hours in a coffee shop for him to get it back. I was more than just trivially annoyed, let me tell you!

I'm sure it will.

Next year, I would give the pony back to him, with a dildo, and if he does not like the pony, he can go fcuk himself.:D

Banging headache and nosebleed?

Have you been to GP?

My sister just farted silently into the electric heater in my mothers sitting room, the pungent aroma rapidly filled the room. My mother shrieked at her to get out into the hall

Sounds a bit mad but if you rub a bit of Vicks vaporub into both of your temples it gets rid of bad headaches quickly and it's also great for clearing your sinuses if you rub a bit under your nose. Watch the nosebleeds though, my dad had a history of bad headaches and nosebleeds that he ignored for years, right up until he had his first stroke.

It's the nosebleeds to watch out for, often a sign of high blood pressure. Maybe get one of those home blood pressure check machines as a gift for yourself, you can get them in a lot of places for about a tenner.

Just think of it as giving yourself a New Year MOT. Better safe than sorry and keeping an eye on your health is a good thing.:)

Thats gratitude for you. You spend years and money raising someone and how do they thank you? By coming round and breaking wind into your heater.
It makes my blood boil :mad::mad::mad:

When people are utter knobs. I had to cancel my own NYE makeup because someone made an appointment in work which meant I had to stay late. I was supposed to be finished at 3:45 and it was 5:45 when I left work, because some well known irish model used a fake name to make an appointment. Arrived fifteen minutes late for her appointment with a full face of makeup which meant I had to do a mini facial too to remove it all. By the time she left, I'm so exausted I'm not even excited to go out anymore.

I wanted to go to get a pair of control knickers too, the shops were all closed by the time I got there. Then to make matters even worse, I got on the luas, some guy offered me his seat, insisted I took it and that he'd prefer to stand then when seats cleared at the next stop, he sat back down. Now I'm paranoid I look pregnant and I don't even have any control knickers for tonight.

Then when I got to the train station I missed my train, by 35 seconds. It was right there on the platform but the gates were closed. So im getting a train somewhere else and someone will have to pick me up.

I'm starving, nothing to eat the whole day. I've a headache from the stress. And the best night ever is just going to be a ball of ****e because I have no underwear or no makeup done.

Brought the missus and the kids out for lunch/dinner. The place we went to was fairly empty downstairs. Upstairs was some sort of kids birthday party going on.
As the place was near empty, but fairly noisy from upstairs, we let the kids off the leash a bit, and the staff were encouraging it by giving the kids balloons. The rest of the patrons were having a laugh at the kids as well so nobody seemed put out by it all.
Throughout the meal (I had an excellent Carabonara, fairly boring, but it's always good in this particular place) there was gas building up in my belly. So there were a few little farts gusting out by the end. At one point the waiter came over to take my empty plate but I had to usher him away quickly as I has just squeaked out a stench of rancid death.
I then contained myself for another while, table was cleared, desert, coffee finished. The waiter came over to drop the cheque on the table. I did not know the waiter was en-route. I didn't spot him coming, and let the lid off my ar$e for a few seconds. Just as I done this (twas silent) he leaned over me and inhaled all at the same time, the change in facial expression was incredible. It was like rotten eggs, mixed with newborn nappy mixed with 3 day old Indian food. I even noticed him going for the second sniff to see if it was real.
Quickly paid and started to get out of there. But as I had started moving, I lost all control of my gas valve. Essentially let a ripper, that lasted about 5-6 seconds, echoing around and resonating from cheek to cheek while I walked. Fairly audible to about a third (I would estimate) of the dining area. God and the few remaining people in the restaurant only know what it smelled like, and how long it lingered.
My trivial annoyance is that I wasn't able to hang on to it to give the missus the best Dutch oven ever tonight.
