on the (reality) TV show Don't tell the Bride,

The guy picks a wedding dress for his bride, she absolutely hates it, she can't get married in it, her life is ruined, her dream of a fairytale wedding dashed forever.

THEN DON'T GO ON A TV SHOW WHERE YOUR SOON TO BE HUSBAND PICKS THE WEDDING DRESS FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SAY IN IT WHATSOEVER

your getting a free wedding, you might just have to accept that your boyfriend (who is a bit of a berk) will pick a dress for you that he thinks is lovely, but you think belongs on my big fat gypsy wedding!.

The way Enda Kenny pauses and takes a sharp intake of breath through his nose, in a vain attempt to sound commanding!

Enda Kenny is getting rightly on my tits these days.
Especially when he wants to get some point across and comes out with an anecdote about how me met Mary from claremorris this morning who told him something that completely backed up his point.

As if national policy should be dictated by a meeting of Enda and Mary from Claremorris in the local Fancy good shop.

That everything is a fcuking challenge these days. 'The Aldi challenge', yeah it's such a challenge to do your grocery shopping in a different shop!

And if it's not a "challenge" then it's either got "gate" or "tastic" stuck onto the end of it.

When you're looking forward to tinned spaghetti on toast, you open the tin and here are all of these little hoops

They taste totally different

Then you look and realise you're after buying 4 cans of hoops.

I hate spaghetti hoops.

PTSB automated banking down

"Please call back later" -

When? "Later" is not a time. "Later" is entirely subjective - what time is "later"? I know exactly how much is there, but the only thing that offsets the mundane and the general shít is that one time per week when you can go and just have a look at what you got in exchange for said mundane and general shít

The spate of heartwarming stories on Facebook about a strangers positive reaction to an autistic child having a tantrum on public transport etc is driving me nuts. The first one I thought awww that's lovely, but when several different versions appeared it's clear that they are made up. It's a lovely thing if it really did happen of course, but I just hate BS in any form. Maybe the idea is to raise awareness, but it's annoying me nonetheless ...

Menas · 09-04-2015 09:04AM

Clickbait headlines.
Only popular because simpletons click on them. The art of journalism is dying a sad and sorry death.

Tinned spaghetti must be one of the most vile creations ever.

I could never imagine a time when I would be looking forward to that.

Just my opinion of course:D

Youngest had surgery on her hip two weeks ago. It's been hellish but she is starting to feel better and sleep better. As the weather was nice yesterday I decided to take the kids to the local playground. We tend to frequent it all year around but yesterday it was full of the 'fair weather' parents who wouldn't dare let little Mork or Mindy out in public during the cold winter months.

Youngest is in a brace for the next few weeks. It holds her legs in an awkward splayed position to keep the hip in place. There was nothing in the playground she could really use apart from one large swinging thing that you lie in. I plaaced her in it and just as I started to swing one of those obnoxious little Morks, about 8 hurtles over and starts to climb in. I placed my hand in front of him and asked him would he mind waiting until we had finished as the little girl in there hasd a sore leg and if he climbed in he might hurt her. He starts getting pissy with me and trying to push in so again I place my hand in front to stop him.

Next minute some overweight heffalump of a parent storms over and tells me that there is plenty of room and why was I preventing her little Mork from climbing on and that he would stay over one side so he wouldn't hurt her leg.:rolleyes: I was so livid that I needed a cigarette to calm down when I got home and I've been off them 6 months :mad::(

Short version: over indulged kids and their fat parents!!!

Or knowing the format of the show, have a freaking discussion before you go on so he knows exactly what to buy.

I got so angry just reading this! What utterly inconsiderate twatty parenting. She had a perfect opportunity to show her son not to be a spoilt little b*llox and to put someone else's needs before his own

Fairweather (especially in this weather) parents do my head in. The hometime commute was a f*cking nightmare yesterday too as they all decided to come home on the same luas as the 9-5 ers after a day out spending their mickey money. The carriage was actually like a creche, and I had to start navigating my way off a stop early because there were so many buggies blocking the doors. Where are these people when the sun is not shining??

This enrages me - lazy journalism.

Latest one? Cameron eats a hot dog with a knife and fork?

Yup - you've guessed it!

Hot-dog gate!?

Ah Vel, that's awful. I don't know how you resisted the temptation to say 'fcuk off ya fat fcuk and take your kid with you', she'd have deserved it. Jesus, with parents like that it's no wonder so many kids/teens have become obnoxious wan*ers.:mad:

There's no putting it off. I've got to go to the library today, the library that's built almost entirely of GLASS, so it feels more like a greenhouse than a library and will feel like walking into an oven in this heat.:(

FFS. What a charmer that kid is going to be, as an adult. Some kids really have no chance to develop any bit of kindness or sensitivity to others.

I nearly needed a cigarette just reading that, and I don't even smoke.

Menas · 09-04-2015 11:38AM

Stop talking about smoking everyone! Off them a good while now and suddenly getting pangs!

Mudmask · 09-04-2015 11:40AM

Waiting for the post man all day, no sign yet and I just know that he will arrive when I leave the house later. And then I'll have to get two buses and walk miles to get my package.
Even more trivially annoying was realising I had parcel motel credit, just after it had been dispatched.
