    Seeing two mothers with new born with perfect eyebrows and makeup and I forgot to even moisturise this morning :(

    Why would a baby even need its eyebrows and make up done?

    How the guy doing the Guinness Hophouse 13 ad pronounces 'lager' as 'larger'.

    When people refer to food as 'grub' or 'noms' ... YUCK

    TA is lack of that leafy substance you put with tobacco and skins to get ya high, Galway is completely dry, we need a flood of weed to enjoy this weather with. :(

    Women in work who talk about one thing only, their young children

    No matter what you start a chat about they'll bring it back their little darlings. "We're busy today, hope we get out on time.......c'mere and I'll tell you what little Sorcha did this weekend" and then you are trapped for the next 15 minutes

    And if you dare state an opinion you'll be dismissed with "one day you'll understand"

    Remember children are like your fantasy sports team. You're obsessed and could chat for hours but that doesn't mean others want to

    It's not even a sport. Do they ever work up a sweat? Have to laugh at the old lads with their golf cars. Playing a "sport" but too fúckin lazy to drive from hole to hole :rolleyes:

    You should try working in one!! Need a shower every evening.

    :D. During the 80's there was a male librarian working there who always wore polyester shirts and he stank of BO. The library doesn't have windows that open so the smell used to linger.

    Reading a book on the way to work and realising that I may have mixed up two character's ages but being too proud to go flicking back through the pages looking for a reference to an age in case I come off as too intellectually challenged to remember what happened in the previous chapter :)

    People who pierce their babies ears when they are so small. If I offend anyone - good :) it's a horrible thing to do! Let the child decide for themselves and dont use them as an accessory!

    When plans are made for me by friends/family. I hate being told what to do :D

    Spitting. There is no need to be doing that outside. Stop.

    Loud eaters. It's a phobia of mine :D

    When someone calls me "Hun" eeuugghh, makes me cringe!

    Feet. Especially weird feet. Ew.

    Fricking gnats/mosquitos won't stop biting me and every chemist in the town has no bug bands, all of them are on order. I hate the smell of deet but I'm just gonna have to buy some kind of spray. For some reason they keep going for my right arm, think I've got about 9 bites there now and I look diseased.:(:o

    Waking up at 6 to make the OH's coffee (and she complains because we "dont hold hands anymore") and instead of staying up, going back to sleep for half an hour, falling into what can only be described as a delicious slumber only to be woken shortly after and feeling less refreshed than after the first wake up :mad:

    Ah books. Hubby bought me a book ' just because' ( it was really a delayed apology). Been reading it in the sunshine this week during nap time. It's pretty good and part of a series which I like.

    Went into easons yesterday only to be told its brand new and the next book isn't due out for 18 months! wtf!?? If I'd known I wouldn't have bothered reading it

    Never ever go to china. I hated it over there for a lot of reasons, but these two were top of the list.

    Thank God! At least now we might see and end to:

    * fluroescent Penneys wear
    * trams full of kids on the way home from work
    * scobes drinking in the streets while the rest of us work
    * people talking about the weather
    * Irish sunburn ie; top of head, bottom half of arms, neckline etc.
    * The (what was it someone said) "less sun kissed, more dorito raped" howiyas around the place

    TA the discriminatory "policies" of health insurers. Pricing around for the folks and apparently my 67 year old dad is not covered on the pistes :eek::D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    TA that my car has a puncture.
    My luck is just rock bottom this week.

    That I really like Mumford & Sons song 'Believe' from the new album...

    Hated all their other stuff, but really like the newer sound!

    I might have a listen to that later. Something similar happened to me last night - the battery on my phone I listen to music on, ran out and I figured I'd fire up Spotify on this one - "no Taylor Swift, bollocks... James Bay? Aww man, might as well... Heyyy that's not bad actually!" :D

    Spotify free is still painful though with all the skipping and the shuffling and I could hardly find a decent song on it. I could listen to a single song on repeat for days! :o

    I like my routine, when my routine is upset, it can throw me something fierce :pac:

    Nadia Forde - Seriously, would she ever just go and fúck off?

    FM 104 don't play my songs because my ex works there... or maybe your songs are just shít Nadia
    They didn't support me when I was on I'm a celebrity get me out of here - maybe because it's just trash TV that aims to promote nobodies into some sort of higher place in society where they genuinely believe they belong.

    as I flick through the various newspaper websites, I see nothing but stories about this attention hungry parasite!!

    The boss of the football organisation doesn't talk to me anymore!! oh boo bloody hoo!!! who the hell cares?

    Meanwhile, Nadia is currently promoting her new reality show, Nadia: Chasing the Dream

    looks like you've caught the dream Nadia, because the newspapers won't stop writing about (promoting) you, while having absolutely no talent in the process.
    I bet she's already been on the Late Late??? another RTÉ darling in the making??


    I wonder what it will be next week: Nadia Exclusive: The guys in the coffee shop just can't get my frappachino right, the way I like it!! OMG The world hates me. buy my album to make me feel better.

    I want to buy a pair of Toms online and the colour I want is sold out in my size :(

    Also, I really want a kiwi and I don't have any kiwis.

    Waiting for a new phone to charge. It flies from 50-99% and then takes an eternity to reach 100% :mad:

    I'm taking an edumacated guess?

    http://www.toms.com/women


    Toms, Cons, Vans*, I just don't know any more, everything is all brand names now, like "I like your dress, who are you wearing?" :(



    I did laugh though when one of my friends sent me a message saying there's a strange van in her driveway, with a picture of a runner in her driveway, I thought "huh?". It was still stupid, even when she did spend ten minutes trying to explain the joke :rolleyes:
