Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

My painkillers are making me sleepy and I'd love a nap, but there's a power play going on between 2 of our cats and while they're being very good right now, I know that there's a good chance that fur will fly if I'm out of the room for long. So, no nap for me then.:(

No, he is not. That's because you're treating him like a human baby and feeding him human food, both of which are bad for him. Treat him like a dog already, for the luvva Mike - you'll both be much happier! :pac:

I had a massive lunch and now I feel really sleepy. In fact, I may enter a food coma shortly....

Shot of a garden hose first to cause a scatter, then blessed sleep, peace in the valley and peace in the hills.

He won't eat the dog food. No interest in it at all. I feed him meat that I cook for him so I hope that it isn't bad for him. Now you have me worried!!

I won't eat dog food either, for the same reason he won't. Can you guess what that is? The difference is, he's supposed to be eating dog food.

I usually go walking on my lunchbreak but today I decided to drive to Douglas to get some shopping.

My troubles started before I even left the car park... some twit decided to reverse into a space as I was exiting, blocking me from going anywhere. Oblivious of course to me waiting...sure why wouldn't I be stalled in the middle of a thoroughfare?

Then...Douglas traffic!!! It's been so long since I sat in it!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: And I remember why I avoided it for so long.

Then being unable to make a (correct) right turn down a one way street because some useless twat was driving up it the wrong way and blocking it.

Then all the good spaces at work taken so I had to park in a REALLY awful place which will be a c**t to reverse out of later.

The only good thing is I did manage to cut up a Land Rover while in Douglas.

He'll eat it when he is hungry enough. I had the same problem with ours. We had her on Royal Canin dried, which she ate for me no problem. Whenever she stayed with my parents, mum would be on the phone telling me she'd only eat Bakers and bits of chicken :rolleyes: She knew if she ignored her dried food, mum would panic and start giving her human food. There's none of that play acting with me. She'll get raw mince once a week, a tin of sardines mixed with dried food another night, and a boiled chicken fillet if she has been unwell but the staple is dried food and what's more, if she doesn't eat it, she knows I will bring in a cat from outside and put it in front of her bowl

That's the reason I was alluding to above: I, like Lexie's dog, figured out some time ago that I could do better than dog-food! :pac:

I wish. I don't think I have the right accent though (economic migrant from Clare)!

Aglomerado I love to hear 'langer' in the proper accent i.e. Cork
' Sitchiation'in a Nothern Accent and 'Bleedin looper' in a proper Dub accent.

It TAs me when people announce their weekly weight loss on Facebook after a weigh in at some slimming class. Seriously, does every realm of a persons life have to be on a social media site? And said individuals spurring themselves on with a caption under a photo of their weight loss record card saying "Won't be long now til I'm skinny Minnie". Trust me, it will!

Me too... Dublin's a good one too "Wat's that buke yizzer' readin'?"
"bleedin BOLLIX"

Someone in my local Dunnes put all the Weight Watchers booklets next to the Easter chocolate display, that someone must have a very sick sense of humour.:D I noticed it this morning, I wasn't buying either but the managers should move one or the other.

They're so clever. He punctured his eye around xmas and because he was so unwell, I minded him. Had the oh in the spare room and the dog in our bed. Got him out of the habit of our bed but he still likes his nice food. When he won't eat from the bowl and I know he has to be hungry because he wouldn't have been fed in ages, he sits on my knee and eats from my hand. It's grand when I'm not wrecked but to start that rigmarole after being at work all day, ugh. He is TERRIFIED of vivienne though, maybe I'll pretend vivienne can have his dinner (I have no cats)

That's funny, I'm from Clare and nobody ever guesses it from my accent. Even my hospital consultants point out that I have an unusual accent and ask me where I'm from. I must have picked up some sort of weird Clare/Essex/Yorkshire mix.:D

Pumpkinseeds you need you say 'Hon the banner' more

and that young O'Donnell fella is a mighty hurler

When tv shows edit a scene to remove a "curse" word like "bítch" or "shít" and they remove so much of the scene that the lines either side of the removed part make absolutely no sense together. So fúcking stupid.

I live next door to that kind of mouth-breathing muck savagery, I could shout as much as I liked and I wouldn't be heard above them shouting it.:D

My parents minded a dog once for a woman while she was hospitalised and he was spoilt rotten. Apparently he would get a biscuit every night after he'd gone out to do his business. After a while we noticed he was simply going out, pretending to pee and then coming back in looking for a biscuit

My accent isn't the typical East Clare (Ger Loughnane styleee) one of my origins; I've lived in several places for college/ work in Ireland/ UK so it's been tempered by those influences!!

I've done this dressed in full Saffron and Blue in a Cork pub on All Ireland Final (both days) in 2013. Cork folk are nice and did not (Colin) lynch me!!!:D

Pumpkinseeds The md of the company I work for is a Clareman and mad about hurling so I've learnt by osmosis
