No they stink! Anybody who goes to the public area of a golf club after a round without showering and changing is an disgrace.
I know of no golfer who doesn't shower after a game and before going to the clubhouse. That's why they have the facilities!

Good honest sweat refers to honest hard work, not to the smell of the bacteria that quickly forms in that sweat afterwards. Yuck!

On the wellie front, Hunter wellies are excellent, try Shuperb UK, you may be surprised at the prices. A good tip for cold feet in wellies is buy them a size larger than normal and use a template to cut a piece of carper to insert in the "foot".

The 20 quid jobs from Pennies etc are ****e and wont last the winter. The likes of Hunter will last years, and will be comfortable.

I think I'll just get them. I always go to pennies for mine but they split so easy. I'm on the farm a lot so I need a pair that don't get my feet wet.

I was walking towards someone this morning on the street and we both moved towards the same spot in order to pass each other by and ended up doing that little dance you do in those situations. To me it's no ones fault and a little smile to acknowledge the situation is usually warranted and is generally what happens. Except this sour faced wagon wasn't one bit impressed and rather than a smile I got a 'fcuk sake get out of my way' and then she shouldered me! Pedestrian rage

When you are walking behind someone and attempt to pass them by and they speed up and you end up walking along beside each other. I NEVER give in in those situations. They are either dropping back or we are going to be wandering around town side by side, happy as larry for as long as our journey coincides

Hunters are definitely the way to go then imo. I got three years of hard wearing out of my last ones. I've pm'd you with details of a shop running a promotion with them at the moment (not sure about Boards rules wrt advertising etc.

Sorry about that

Staff in cafés (and shops) who ask 'Are you okay there?'. I always reply 'Yes, I'm okay..... but I'd like a coffee'
Whatever happened 'can I help you?'

Those f.uckers who are walking slowly ahead and then start to veer in a diagonal direction as you speed up to overtake. Then they stop and you have to walk around them. I get furious even typing this.

Ha, yeah well you catch my drift. I don't always say this but I let it be known that it's sloppy and lazy. Customer service can be very slack in Ireland.

Pumpkinseeds · 08-01-2015 02:47PM

The fecking child 'huffing' behind me in the shop the other day because the shop assistant was taking too long serving me. I assumed it was an adult doing it so I turned to give the 'glare of death', but it was a child so I just ignored it. Jaysus, the kid was only about 7 but going on 35, no fecking manners these days.

Graces7 · 08-01-2015 02:49PM

range lit.. played with wee dog a while. She is moody these days, playing poor me and not coming when called. the bassett in her. she knows the collie is failing and wants to stay with her even though all the 8 years they have been together she has never let collie play with her. Poor collie will stand by her yipping and whining to no avail. Strange critters, dogs

True enough, but customers can be even worse. Is it just Ireland that has the "customer is always right" thing? I hate when staff say this to me in clothes shops, "are you ok?" or "is there anything I can help you with?" - they might as well just say, "I'm bored and I want to annoy you" or "you look like someone who doesn't know what they want" or "the security guard sent me over to ask you this because we don't like your kind around here" to which I give the same response. Look them up and down once so fast they may not even notice, give a curt "no" and smile and walk away. Or, reply with, "actually yes. I'm trying to find something for an elderly neighbour. Preferably a cerise pink onesie with a front opening. Nothing too OTT though..."

OldNotWIse · 08-01-2015 03:00PM

When you are walking through two sets of doors and someone holds the first for you. Not wanting to look like a knob standing there waiting for them to open the second, I usually open the second and then gesture for them to go through and....and!!! I always say the same stupid f.ucking thing - "huh, might as well return the favour!" - God damn. I hate saying that. I say it every time. I can't open the door and not say it. I am weak and repeptitive. I bet there is someone out there trivially annoyed - "you know what I hate? When you hold a door for someone and then they rush through and shout "might as well return the favour!" as they open the second for you" - The self loathing....

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 08-01-2015 03:03PM

TA is my own stupidly. Just finished washing the windows. Last window complete and I alight from the step - foot straight in to the bucket of soapy water. Stumble back and fall backwards over the dog. Apologies to the dog are now complete. Socks shoes and trousers are changed but still annoyed.
At least nobody but the dog saw it. Mrs S just laughs; which helps relieve the annoyance somewhat.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 08-01-2015 03:08PM

Having no money. Or no grown up savings. Starting on new year I have a direct debit going from my wages account to my saving account taking 1/3 of my wages to go into savings. Now only two weeks in, my puppy needs extensive treatment for his eye, I'm looking into a dog equivalent to the eye and ear hospital and I think I need to go to my doctor because it hurts to walk with a pain in my chest and feels like my heart is sore I think it's a chest infection. 50 euro for a stupid diagnosis I know myself and more money for more anti biotics that make me so run down ill have another infection next week.
I might as well not bother saving, it's jinxing bad things

Ah yes, a really good sense of humour is vitally important in a marriage.

When I got the chest virus a lady told me she had had the same thing five times and blamed the repetition on taking anti biotics the first time. If it is a virus they wont help. I have them here on stand by but waited and it has cleared now without them. Glad i did that!

I started off with a vomitting bug, then I got a really bad kidney infection, then I got another vomitting bug/virus while on anti biotics for kidney infection. Then I got a cold, and it's completely in on my chest. Every time i walk I get out of breath and a tightness in my chest. I'm so run down its not even funny. I get about 5 hours sleep a night, my diet consists mostly of sandwiches and macaroons and chocolate, I have a proper dinner maybe once a week, I used to drink like an absolute fish. I'm just fit for the glue heap at the minute

When you get this chest-cold business sorted out, get a full checkup, possibly followed by vitamin and/or iron supplements. I'm a great believer in proper daycint food. Get a proper Farmer's Dinner into you every day - that should be easy enough, I believe you work in Dublin? Don't tell me you haven't time or the other little wagons will be getting jealous, or whatever. Repeat after me - I'm the Bawss Maun I awm!! :cool:

NCT me hole. What we're looking at here is a full OBD-II scan, followed by filters, plugs and a refill of good, dear 5W-30 full-synthetic. She'll pull an eight-second quarter-mile in no time, bah! :cool:

Lexie if you don't feel like eating a dinner try eating/drinking vegetable soup, full of goodness.

Jimgoose I love it when you talk durty ! just don't tell my husband

:D:D

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 08-01-2015 03:29PM

I had bloods done I need vitamin b 12 injections (which i haven't got because .. Injections) I have a low thyroid and have to take eltroxin but eltroxin is expensive and now I have my epilepsy meds to get so they take precedent over thyroid.

I wouldn't have the appetite for a farmers dinner lol I'm a picker, but that could be because I feel so ****. Before Christmas anything I would eat wouldn't even stay there but I don't get sick at all now so it's much better

Many carveries do a half-portion. Try that someday, you might even like it! Be careful of that thyroid craic, don't neglect the medication. It's like the regulator for your whole metabolism, you'd be amazed what slows down/speeds up/goes arseways when that gland acts up. Always consult your GP.
