    Past few days I've been in an absolute fouler. Nothing's wrong but everything is bugging me. I don't want to talk to my best friend, I'm furious with her over something stupid, so im just blanking her, she knows something is wrong but isn't sure what so she keeps sending stupid snap chats and texts trying to goade me into conversation, that doesn't work she's writing to my cousin (another of ny best friends) to see what's wrong and that's doing my head in but I can't tell her why I'm upset with her because I know it's a stupid reason and it'll sound worse when I say it out loud.

    I got my nails done again today and trying to readjust texting on a touch screen with them is headwrecking I feel like flinging it at a wall

    People are just being mean, knowing I'm in bad form and deliberately trying to get a rise out of me.

    And the hose on the shower was leaking so I bought a new one. It was so hard to unscrew the old one so when I finally did get it off and tried put the new one on all the water started spraying out of the wrong end of the hose and drowned me so I hammered the head of the shower off the ground in temper so that's probably in ****e too


    And stupid auto correct.

    God I wish I could drink. It's a 2 bottle of wine and 4 Valium kind of night.

    And you'd most likely be dead after that. Sometimes I wonder if you post things like this just for attention. Seriously.

    No actually, you wouldn't be dead after that. Not that it would be a good idea to do it. If you have a problem with my post, report it ;)

    What mileage was on it? If high-ish, a clutch-kit should probably have gone into it as a matter of course while the 'box was dropped out!

    In all fairness.....it's usually standard practice to replace clutch when replacing the gearbox....as it costs more im labour to reopen it than the part (unless yoave to do flywheel again)

    Yeah...I'm annoyed that it wasn't all done in the first place. These lads are... or WERE reliable...used them for 20 years or so and never a bother, but in the last year they must all have got hooked on heroin or somethin...

    I have a friend who snores like two chainsaws mating. (as I describe it!!) You can hear her all over the house. And I slag her off for it. She and her husband got revenge on me a couple of years ago when I passed out asleep from drink, snored like THREE chainsaws mating and they recorded it and played it back to me the next day!! :o

    Aglomerado Lol ! Tuesday is his day off but I work on Tuesdays. I'm sitting in the kitchen listening to the radio and I can hear him over the sound of the radio.

    Come home work today, notice the house was like a bomb had hit it.
    I immediately knew that a friend of the missus and her 2 kids were over visiting. Her 2 kids are little f*cking animals, I find it hard not to hit them with a sly boot in the face. My kids are no angels, but they know to respect things, boundaries and not to try break everything they see.
    And also not to be whiney little c*nts like these 2. I know its not the kids fault they have ended up like this, all down to the parents, they are a couple that just shouldn't have reproduced.
    Thankfully I had to stay a bit later in work, if I had of witnessed them destroying the house I would have done some actual parenting on them.

    And the TA,the parents know themselves that their kids are little f*cknuggets.

    So instead of climbing into my fleece, having a laugh with my kids,putting the kids to bed, getting a bite to eat, I'm cleaning finger paint off walls and trying to find pieces of the scalextrx track. I haven't even started looking for the remotes yet. And I have no idea what the brown stuff on the rug is. I know it's going to be sh*t. I just know it.


    I feel your pain.

    Have similar issues with other people's kids running amuck around our house on a regular basis.

    Parents just arrive in and release the little feckers and then sit down at the kitchen table. They seem to be under the impression that they can just leave their kids to do what-ever-the-fcuk they want to do without any supervision what-so-ever.

    It really annoys the fcuk out of me and shows a total lack of respect for our property. I'd never dream of letting our kids run around without keeping an eye on what they were up to and my kids and about a bazillion times better behaved than these particular little tykes.

    They're in-laws so I just about manage to bite my tongue in the interests of keeping the peace, but I come damn close to snapping some times.

    The last time they arrived just after we finished a big tidy up operation. 'Little Fcuker 1' stomps into the living room, picks up large box of lego, upends it over his head spreading hundreds of blocks everywhere and just marches off to find something else to wreck. His parents observe all of this and just smile and shrug their shoulders.

    Some people just have an incredible blind-spot when it comes to their kids. We don't all find them adorable little angels just because you happen to.

    Getting angry now just thinking about this again!!!:mad::mad::mad:

    I had all that for years with my sister in law, I did snap one day and put her in her place. She left with the kids and it took her a while to cool down but when they visit now she won't let them move and that's how I like it. People have some cheek. I know I sound narky but I brought my kids up to respect our home and their stuff and I expect the same from others.

    Zanablue We call her Mamo and she is great craic. Loves us all dearly but doesn't take any nonsense from us.
    I'm 39 and She still tells me off.

    Unnecessary pluralisation of words. Foods. Foodstuffs. Plural verbiosis I believe? Maddening.

    Also generally unnnecessary words: Cutbacks - why not cuts?

    Weather conditions - why not weather?

    Meet with instead of just "meet"

    For free - can simply be "free" (or "for nothing" if you want to use "for" that badly)

    Safe haven is simply a haven.

    Also "pre-prepared" - is this more prepared than just "prepared"?

    I feel a seething, burning resentment inside for anyone who uses these unnecessary words :(

    My clutch pedal, started sqeaking today.
    Indicator bulb went today.
    Reg bulb went today.

    A trip to Halfords at lunch time to go in, buy lots of random stuff and not what I originally went in for.

    @jimgoose - your a chap that has knowledge of the workings of cars ->squeaky clutch pedal, would that just be a WD40 job or a sign of anything worse to come?

    Oh, and the other car got a service and a once over yesterday. About a grands worth of wear and tear stuff to be fixed up on it. The sly git in the garage was 'trying to do us a favour' by taking the car off our hands for about a grand.

    A rather odd squeak when the clutch is pressed that most definitely wasn't there before? The last time I encountered that it was an early sign of an expiring release-bearing. What mileage is on that clutch?

    The landlord is here with a couple of guys to paint. I'm worried about the spider who's lived in the corner of the bathroom for the last six months. She dug herself a little hole in the soft plaster there so I hope she'll be able to stay out of the way. Poor Charlotte :( .

    And I'm TA'd that we were given about two minutes notice before they showed up. Well, I suppose we technically had six months' notice, because he first mentioned painting about six months ago.

    I'm on a detox, it's vile. After being on a two week bender that nearly ended my personal life, college, job etc, there was nothing else for it. Day two without booze and zanax. Feeling weirdly tuned in and alive. Want....to....retreat.... :(

    Yep, it's a new noise.....or maybe I'm not listening to music as loud as I normally do :)
    It's when I press the clutch down, and a bit on release as well.
    Over 100k on the clutch at this stage.

    I still feel like vomiting after witnessing the antics of a couple on the Luas yesterday evening.

    Crusty looking pair, him with mad eyes! She sits in the pair of seats beside mine and proceeds to pull out a take away box and chopsticks and starts chowing down on a load of smelly noodles. It seemed to be some kind of magic box that looked small but actually contained a kilo's worth of noodles because it felt like she was at it forever.

    He stood opposite her and pulled out a toasted sandwich wrapped in clingfilm and proceeded to make love to it. I've never seen someone so engrossed in a sandwich before. There were crumbs going everywhere and every so often he would have a good old brush of his beard, scarf and clothes to ensure they were distributed all over the floor around him, rather than on him.

    He finished first and spent the rest of the time staring her out of it while she massacred her noodles. Every so often he woul crack a big smile at her and give her a thumbs up sign and ask her was she enjoying them and she would answer yes with her mouth full.

    She then finished, wrapped up her little box and distributed all of the noddles that had fallen on her all over the floor to join his crumbs.

    AND THEN the final insult! They started snogging and my gag reflex started to leap into action.

    And all the while, to add insult to injury, despite having earphones in I can clearly hear the music from the earphones of the bloke sitting beside me.

    There are some majorly sick b*stards out there!

    Yes, I encountered it on a 3l Jag that was starting to pound its clutch into submission after 130,000 miles. Get an actual mechanic to have a look at it, but I suspect the release-bearing. Budget for a clutch-kit as well while it's split - it'll make a new car of it.

    Meghan Trainor. Her nose. The stupid way she moves and makes silly faces trying to be sexy. And the Silly clothes she wears that just don't flatter her at all.

    That nose is quite impressive alright. Reminds me of the intro sequence to Yes Minister. :pac:
