    My house being too warm.
    Is it just me or does the central heating feel warmer at night, even if the temperature hasn't changed?
    Sweating cobs here.

    Having a delicious sandwich in someone else's house but being too shy to ask where they got their cheese/ham from.

    How no-one dies any more.

    Happens in work all the time these days. "Did you hear Stephen's father passed on".

    RTE was at it the last few days too. Derek Davis passed on yesterday and Larry Mullan's father passed the other day.

    Are people afraid to say the word now?

    When I go, I want to go out the old fashioned way, I wanna die.

    no no no!!!!

    They want you to ask where they got it, so then they can impress you by giving the whole story on how they accidentally bought the wrong cheese one day and it turned out to be awesome!!

    They actually made the sandwich thinking, jees, I really hope fussyonion asks where I got my cheese from!!

    Singing along to Hopelessly Devoted to You in the car while in a traffic jam and realizing some nosey parker can see you from another car.

    I'm at a doctors appointment, in the maternity hospital. There's an absolute nightmare of a child here, screaming and running around wrecking the place, barging into rooms while other women are being examined. If I hear stop it Alex once more I'm going to put the mother through the wall. CONTROL YOUR CHILD!!!!!

    The mother is absolutely f*cking useless. I'm going to clothesline the f *cker next time he stomps by. Christ.

    The word 'ONLY' in front of overpriced products. The latest one being advertised is an upmarket smoothie maker at ONLY 179.99:eek: Fool, money, easily parted.

    Similarly stupid sale signs like "up to 50% off everything in store" usually that up to 50 equates to 5-10%

    It's so creepy to dress little girls up to look like, well hookers is as good a word as any. It's sick and I always find it weird when people put toddlers or young kids in bikinis or hot pant type clothes in summer. I don't get the logic of it. Kids should be innocent for as long as possible. Whatever happened to letting them be kids and play in kid clothes.

    The Ben and Jerry's frozen yoghurt is fabulous too, but is around 6 quid.

    What so fabulous about B 'n' J stuff that it has to be horrendously expensive?

    It's not like it's made by some producer in West Cork with only 1 cow...it's mass produced and shipped all over the world. Why the fcuk can't it be a reasonable price?

    I only get it when it's on offer, which is rarely. I got some lovely Moo Yoo frozen yoghurt ice lollies in Dunnes yesterday and they're really good. Good frozen yoghurt tastes like ice cream, the crappy stuff just tastes vile.

    Go to the shops...buy all ingredients for dinner...get home....chop up all ingredients....get pan out of press....reach for cooking oil BUT THE BOTTLE IS EMPTY.....and that someone was probably me.


    This is a relative of the "Make the tea, no milk" TI, but somehow worse.

    And the 'up to' part is usually in tiny print beside the % off bit.

    up to 50% off all stock

    They are living out their own failed dreams/fantasies through their children.

    Quite sad really, as always, it's the children that suffer.

    A close second to the tiara brigade would have to be the Irish dancing gang. Wigs, sunbeds and mad looking dresses that cost a fortune.

    My ridiculous shrinking feet. I was walking to an interview today, I was all dressed up and strutting - aaand my right foot just fell out of my shoe. It took me a few seconds to get it back on. Thankfully I didn't fall over or kick myself in the ankle :p. And I think I recovered pretty well! I made a ghastly, startled sort of beeeeeahhhrgh sound when it happened though.
