    Sorry Lexie but false nails are an annoyance for me. They look shíte and I don't understand why people can't grow their own?

    yeppydeppy I've tried everything under the sun to grow my nails but without fail after 2 weeks they break.
    I gave in December and got gel overlay for the 1st time in my life my nails don't break :D

    They're not fake! Mine are gel overlays on my own nail.

    73cat always happens to me when I'm out for a meal just as I've put food in my mouth the waiter/ess will come over to ask if everything is ok .

    I've noticed this too! Is it perhaps a cunning ploy to make their lives easier? Because we are forced to nod rather than say, "well now that you ask, can I have..."?

    There is, but its located fairly high up on the wall, so any attempt to dry myself will look like I'm making awkward, but sweet sweet love to it as others come in!!



    I managed to get back to my desk without many second glances thankfully!

    A friend of mine is pregnant. Just saw her today and the baby was kicking her. You could see bits of the baby, maybe a foot or something, wiggling about in her tummy. It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I feel queasy even thinking about it. I am freaked out. Gross

    False advertising. I usually buy a bag of brown rice in Dunnes. I've never paid more than 3 euro for it, not their own brand. Today it was priced at 4 euro 'reduced from 5.99'. Total bollox, they must've had it at that price for 1 day or something. Either way, I won't be buying it from Dunnes again.

    I honestly think they do that deliberately, like an in-joke among waiting staff, as it happens to me every time.

    I'm picturing the staff having an evil little laugh to themselves, a bit like the scene in Friends where they are taking bets with one another on whether or not Ross has been stood up :D when Joey sets him up on a blind date, then cancels it deliberately. :D

    At a parent teacher meeting in a massive queue so may as well have a bit of a TA. There are some very good looking teachers here, only one so far teaching my girl.
    One teacher had pen on her chin and the urge to lick my thumb and rub it off was overwhelming !

    Withered up veg in super markets. What a disgrace thinking people would want to buy such substandard food!

    Am still seriously impressed by your earlier rant about the person in the queue! :D
    I'd love to have seen the hurt look, jeez some people!
    Did she think the rest of you should just stand admiring the check out while she had her chat!

    I've never seen anything like it before. She honestly just stopped packing and stood with her back to the checkout chatting.:confused: Maybe she expected the cashier to pack for her. She picked the wrong checkout though. I wouldn't put up with it any time, but certainly not this morning. It was funny that she just ended the call and dropped the phone in her bag, she said nothing at all to the caller so she knew she was in the wrong.:D She seemed genuinely shocked, can't see how though. Stupid cow, sometimes I think that giving them a boot in the arse would be providing a public service.

    I wish I knew people like you pumpkin :D

    If you know any women in their 40's then you know people like me. You just reach a point in your mid 30's where you just don't take sh*t from people anymore, especially not from simpletons. The bullsh*t tolerance level decreases with age.:D Factor in having had no coffee or food that morning and you have a woman more volatile than explosives.

    It just shows how much some people live in their own little world, having zero consideration for others, holding up the queue and delaying the cashier.

    When a film catches you off guard be becoming really really sad in the last 10 minutes. I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower earlier and it was all lovely, there's Emma Watson dancing and the misfits are the really cool kids (sounds just like my secondary school) and there's a few shady bits but really they're all just having the craic. You think the film isn't going to delve too much into the shady bits but then 15 minutes from the end the few shady bits are explored fully and jesus christ it's so sad :(

    That's it in a nutshell LynnGrace, feck all consideration for others. Some people are so self consumed!

    I loved the scene with patrick and the teacher but I agree, was a very sad movie :(

    I'm morto for myself, when it was announced over the tannoy that there was only 5 minutes left, and therefore no point in waiting, I stood up and went "Boom!"really loudly . Totally forgot where I was stuck in the thread. Hasty exit, no looking back!

    In films or tv shows when a woman takes off a motorbike helmet and shakes out a glossy mane of hair. That never happens. Ever. If you leave your hair loose outside a helmet you'd be better off shaving your head than trying to get the tangles out.

    That reminds me of a girl I used to work with, one time, her husband gave her a lift to work on his motorbike. When she was trying to take off the helmet, she couldn't open it, at first, she was nearly hysterical with laughing, as a result...which didn't help :D.

    Definitely not a glossy mane scenario.

    The best time for a shave and you can't see jack.
