    Stupid noisy neighbours are doing diy. FFS who the hell does drilling, hammering and sawing at 22.41

    My (new) neighbours are doing this too. Once at 1am. They gave a two year old and a four year old who run around at 10.30pm slamming doors and screaming :/

    But if you hold the pen right then I don't see how this could happen. I'm going to have to watch my brother in law write. The fingers resting on the page would be lower than what you're writing...It's not like you're going higher with each line!

    Unless the hold the pen beside the fingers that are resting on the page... I'll investigate! :o

    It doesn't really work like that, if you're writing with your left hand you've to push the pen along and drag the hand behind it, you can't really put the hand below where you're writing and then just pivot it clockwise as you go like you do with the right. It's kinda hard to explain. :p

    In short, avoiding smudging with your left hand involves some discomfort and writing more awkwardly. If most people were left handed, we'd probably write from right to left.

    You may notice that some people when writing with their left hand sort of hook it around and write from above in the most uncomfortable, Gollum looking way - that's to avoid smudging!

    Yeah I thought that was more comfortable for them for some reason!! it looks really weird. my son is left handed, maybe I should force him to use his right like old times, save him a lot of hassle in future!! :P

    You'll probably just make him hate you :P His brain is wired how it's wired.

    Oh of course, I was kidding! His dad was left handed but forced to use his right, his writing was always terrible, he said it never felt normal to use that one.

    Yeah I can't imagine it would be good. I was ambidextrous as a child but I ended up falling into a habit of using my left. So now I'm right handed for sports and stuff, left handed for writing, and ambidextrous for other stuff. A freak, basically!

    I knew you were kidding! ;)

    Men who sit with their legs wide apart, taking up double the space. What are other supposed to think? If your meat-and-two-veg are overheating, go dunk them in a shot glass of water ...

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    jimgoose no it wasn't a euphamism. They really were doing DIY. Having previously heard her (think the fake orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally) inflagrente . I know the difference

    One is more than enough for us! He is a lovely wee fella but has us worn out. I danced a wee jig when he got out of nappies. Dont fancy doing all that again.

    Waiting for a series of phone calls, very important phone calls that may or may not come that could either make or break me right now. I'm so drowsy from the medication I'm on that I'm afraid I'm going to miss the call so I'm on edge waiting on the phone.

    Crappy sleep again :(. I never have any bother going to sleep, it's staying asleep. Was in bed for 11.30, awake again at 3.45. Still wide awake after 6am. I only dozed after that, as I was expecting the little one to be up any minute. She actually crawled in beside me at 7, and slept till 8. I don't think she has ever slept that long which was great, but I'm highly trivially annoyed that I didn't get the benefit of it :(

    The pope saying people who remain child free are "selfish". Excuse me but am I missing something here? Where is his brood??

    Depends on what you mean by "have". They must be getting low on alter boys or something.

    Lexie i have to say you are one of my favs on TTTAY.Your posts always make me laugh.

    To the guy who is swaggering around the office, with your phone headphones on acting all important, and with a pencil behind your ears (I mean, seriously??!)...
    Please have a bit of decorum, and hold the doors for your fellow workers... don't take up so much of the corridor as you swagger along, and don't act oh so 'holier than thou' as you are acting like knob jockey of the highest order.

    If you're reading this... YOU'RE A COCK!!!


    Sincerely.

    On facebook, there was a person who mentioned they had an "abyss" on their tooth.

    Imagine if it has to be filled, at the rate dentists are charging that would be a couple of million euro at least.

    I can't think of any TA's :( Don't get me wrong, I'm not TA free, I still feel like a f.ucking briar but I just can pinpoint any TA's. TA dysfunction, one might say.


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


    ONW It's ok I get like that sometimes too.

    On the Luas lately I have noticed people becoming more and more annoying all the time. Or perhaps I am becomigng less tolerant. No matter where I sit, there are annoyances. On the inside seat, you are directly under the air con and slowly freeze to death, plus some fat f.ucker will undoubtedly phlump down beside you and touch their horrible fat thigh off yours. On the outside, there will be people standing way too close, crowding your personal space and will either have their crotch at your eye level or be pushing their áss into your shoulder etc. Some f.ucker this morning stood in the aisle (not down the aisle of course, oh no we had to stand right beside ONW didn't we?) and muched his /her way through a cereal bar right in my f.ucking ear :( Sitting in the very front seat will leave you open to having your shins touched off by people who crowd on with no sense of spatial awareness :( Then there are the sniffers, snorters, hackers, gulpers, swallowers etc. Is it just me or does every single f.ucking person have some kind of throat/sinus problem?? Give up the dairy, dimwits!
