    Ha! Oops.

    I love Fig Rolls but McVities Fig Rolls are horrible! Bought them tonight thinking they were Jacobs, i.e. the original, got home and tried them - puke! They taste like tangy fruit.

    Stuff being described as a 'life hack'.

    Stuff being described as a 'hub'.

    I'm completely obsessed with adverts! Bought loads on it lately, then last night I advertised something and it was sold within 5 minutes.

    I can't stop looking for bargains :o

    God motherf*cking dammit. I post this here all the time, I should learn my lesson, but f*cking drinking cold coffee.
    Time to get a thermal mug or a hotplate to keep my mug warm.

    Also, went camping at the weekend. Pack up all the stuff, fit the tent back into the carrier. Lovely. But then when you get home you have to unpack the fecker and hang it up for a while to air it, then repack it again and try to contort it back into the carrier bag thing.

    I know!! You make a coffee, sit at the computer and start reading through emails/responding etc... then you go to take a sip, thinking you only made it 5 minutes ago, and it's colder than the hearts of all your ex's put together!

    I've got an abcess under my arm that my underwired bra keeps poking, trivial annoyance bit is that the only comfy bras that I have are non-wired ones that I only wear around the house but don't wear when I go out as it makes me look like I have a uni-boob.:(

    Little reminders of stuff from the past that you'd rather forget and move on from.

    That f*cking Nescafe ad that has a load of women sitting around at home with nothing to do at 2:47 in the afternoon. Are they broadcasting it back in time or something?

    Not one dude in the ad, not one woman at work. Just a load of women in their thirties with nothing but time on their hands. It seems to me that they're targeting a market that hasn't existed in about 20 years.

    To be honest, today everything and everybody is annoying me!

    I'm trivially annoyed that I can't control myself!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,971 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    f**k it.

    go to Tesco, use the self-service tills. It all comes to 8.13.

    Put in two 5-cent coins first, then three 1-cent coins, then 10 euro note.

    Expect just a 2 euro coin back, and feel happy about getting rid of some coppers.

    Get back 1 euro coin, and 99 cents in crap coins, plus the original, and somehow faulty, 1 cent coin that was rejected.

    F**K IT!!

    Street posters saying the gay marriage referendum is about equality. Let's see how easy two married men will be able to adopt a baby.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    That retro Ryanair ad, for so many reasons. From 19.99, b o l l o x, by the time you've actually finished you're booking you're looking at 3 times that. 2 bags allowed in cabin, yeah that wasn't the case until recently.:mad: Also the A-Ha song makes me feel old, since I remember when it came out.:( I'm gonna stop my Ryanair rant at that as that's a whole other thread in it's own right.

    At which point I was shouting at the TV "BUT YOU OWE THEM €71 MILLION, PAY YOUR DEBTS AND MAYBE YOU'D OF KEPT YOUR FANCY HOUSE!!"

    Yeah, fancy that, they lend you a shed load of money, and then they have the cheek to want you to pay it back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Sky. The monthly payment was due today and was paid today and despite that there's a message after popping up on my tv screen telling me we're about to loose our channels if we don't pay our bill. What the actual fcuk:confused::mad:

    I'm connected remotely to a customers PC. The fecker doesn't realise that the audio from his machine comes to mine.

    I'm listening the Battle Hymn of The Republic at the moment.

    So its now suddenly pronounced "Ne Pal" and not "Ne Paul".

    All my life I have never heard it pronounced 'Ne Pal'. Never. But every single news reader on RTE is calling it Pal. Do they get told to call it that. Was there a meeting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    Teenage discos that you have to supervise... yawn!

    Jaysus, just heard Eileen Dunne there now, and it really does sound wrong! 'Ne-pal-ese' she said, rather than 'Ne-paul-ese"... reminds me of that whole 'onvelope', or 'an otel' :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,215 ✭✭✭Samsgirl


    Not forgetting Holloween!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,180 ✭✭✭✭One eyed Jack


    I thought I got lucky today, the phone wasn't hopping, until I went to make a call there myself, and I realised the bloody network was down! It must have been down all day and I never realised... :(

    Three, used be great value, now I'd be better off carrying around a pair of tin cans on a string :rolleyes:

    I've always said Ne Pal!
