    Use of the word 'interwebs'.

    Getting stuck behind idiot drivers who don't know how a roundabout works.

    WHAT ARE YOU YIELDING TO!? THERE'S NO TRAFFIC! WHY ARE YOU STILL STOPPED?

    Of course they then moved off when there was traffic coming towards them - nearly causing a crash and leaving me stuck waiting for traffic to clear.

    Also, when your wife nips a rant about idiot drivers in the bud because she doesn't want to listen to it. Thank fcuk for this thread - I might burst if I had to keep it bottled up.

    I think that is the strength of the thread. Who the heck would put up with all the Victor Meldrew type rants and moans we post here?
    A simple harmless safety valve.

    Was thinking the very same Friday when the very same happened. No cars on the roundabout and the car in front is stopped. Cue swearing and head shaking from me. Just as cars enter and have preference this complete dunce starts to inch out into the middle making the oncoming cars brake.

    A very TA but an annoyance nonetheless. Received text from phone network reminding me that I was near the end of my monthly data allowance. Looked up my bill and phone usage on their app, I'm nowhere near the end of my data allowance. The billing period ends in a couple of days and unless I was going to constantly download apps or watch videos between now and then, there is no way I will be anywhere near the end of my data allowance. Plus my bill is the same amount it has always been, no extra charges, nothing. It was a complete waste of time for them to text me that I am near the end of my data allowance when I'm nowhere near it! Rant over *sighs* :D

    This!!!!! It does my head in !
    That and people who don't indicate whatsoever on a roundabout, so you have to be cautious in case they are passing your exit. Then the dipsh*ts take the one before it, and you could have been gone. Then there is stream of traffic that you have to yield to, all because of some ignoramus who hasn't the manners to indicate .

    I record all the programmes during the week to watch on a Sunday afternoon. It's the only day of the week I watch tv. Imagine my disgust when yesterday I went to watch my weeks worth of soaps and NOT ONE THING had recorded.

    The oh wasn't here all week either so I can't even blame him for it. **** sky.

    I miss the bus. Since I moved, I no longer have any need for it. Ah those hazy Nolans days when we hadn't a care in the world. I might take a pointless trip later to re-stock on TA's.

    Why?! On Friday I saw some pig picking his nose then holding the rail. Nobody could miss interaction with such dirty articles

    The actress playing Terry Keane is no beauty, but twenty times better looking than Terry Keane, she was an awful hatchet altogether, I don't know what he saw in her. Then again, Haughey was no hunk either I suppose.

    I have to dash now, I am in hair & make up in 30 mins as I have a photo shoot for the cover of PlayGirl.

    I saw the same thing with the bird on Hannibal. Disgusting really and pathetic that some deluded guys believe such shi*e.

    With Czechlin rarely making an appearance and you no longer taking the bus this thread will never get to part 28 or whatever number might have been put on it.

    MICE. There we were sound asleep at 2.30am, cue the sound of urgent meowing in the hall. Off I go to see what's up and there's Toby with a mouse:eek: Now, I have an absolute horror of rodents but despite it all I decided to brave it and get a shovel to put it in the bin and not disturb Mr Pumpkinseeds who was still sound asleep.

    So, down I step from the stairs in nothing but a t-shirt and mousey was just playing dead as he sped at me. I shrieked like some hysterical 'wan in a comedy, ran halfway upstairs and spooked the bejesus out of Mr Pumpkinseeds who jumped out of bed shouting 'what's wrong', probably thinking we were being burgled. Anyways, he put the mouse safely out the front door and off it went, poor Toby was all forlorn about his lost mouse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭MsBubbles


    Yuck Yuck Yuck. Good on ya though Pumpkinseeds I think you were very brave, I refuse to go within a 1 mile radius of rodents. Jake1 it was exceptionally gross. I have an iron stomach but what they did to that finch and how they ate it was vile.

    Disgusting. There was SO MANY of them this year. I'm terrified of mice too. Even dead ones. (My brother used to chase me with dead ones) we caught a couple with traps but the traps didn't kill them so theyd pull the trap around the floor. Ended up getting rentokil in which seemed to sort the problem fairly fast.

    Erm, I don't think you will be able to get it in Ireland. The editor said the Irish public were not quiet ready for me yet...whatever that means.

    Only available in Germany and Outer Mongolia.:D

    TA I need new glasses. I changed my glasses two years ago and got a ridiculously overpriced pair, you know those big huge black frames that make you look nerdy? Those ones. Now - it's killing me to spend so much money on new frames when my old ones are still good, but when I do wear them I expect 2012 to call looking for its frames back.

    The shoes that are hopefully going to be my wedding shoes arrived today. I am wearing huge boot socks which are held down by a pair of skinny jeans. TA'd that I realistically have to wait until I get home to try on pretty shoes.

    Door bells. Sometimes when you arrive at a house and press the door bell, you sometimes can't really hear if it made a noise or not. There's an awkward moment of - did that ring or should I try it again? God, if it did ring and I try it again I'll sound like I'm impatient. If it didn't ring, then I'm just standing here like a fool! Why can't door bells be alot louder to the the ear of the person outside who rings them?! A total TA, I know!
