    its a very hot day in ireland 20 something degrees (presuming you live here)could be making you irritable. I know it bothers me anyway.

    Nice to know I'm not alone. I get awfully cranky in warm weather.

    Are them big bum Kardashians ever out of the news, well the cr.p news anyway?

    Cannot open a paper online but they are there.

    But I should read the Guardian and the IT I suppose. Must try that soon.

    But honestly, what have they done for us. They are not like the fekkin Romans.

    My friend, I know your pain.

    I have it sorted now thanks to another blog.

    Bring water to boil. Put in pot, add pasta, bring to boil again AND WATCH IT FOR A FEW MINUTES PLEASE. When it comes to boil again, turn off heat, put lid on and leave for fifteen minutes. Sorted.

    The phrase "too cute" - it's too annoying!

    My tracksuit bottoms had no pocket so I had to store my house key in my bra when I went for a walk.

    I just put the pasta in cold water, add salt and bring it up to a boil. Once the water is boiling just turn the heat down to a simmer and 10 minutes later the pasta is done.

    Cyclists cycling two or three across on roads. If you're going to do that you had better be going at an acceptable car speed otherwise show some manners.

    Cycling two abreast is perfectly legal, leave them alone. As for three abreast one should get in behind obviously.

    It's a waste of time using bleach. Bleach has ammonia in it, which is also in the urine, so the dogs like the smell. Use hot water with a dish washer or washing powder tablet dissolved in it.

    Though it would be better if the owners made sure it did not happen in the first place.

    Thanks for that! I thought they would hate the smell and stay away. I don't know much about animals. :o

    Buying a tank load of petrol at 1.45 a litre. But by the time I am leaving the forecourt the guy is adjusting the machines to lower the price to 1.44.
    Pesky bad timing!

    Does anyone else feel like 99% of all coverage of the Kardashians is people complaining about how much coverage the Kardashians get? If people are so sick of them why do hey have to bring them up constantly?

    Blokes that wear long sleeve shirts all the time.

    T-shirts with the word Tokyo on them...

    Frozen pizza in Spar is €4.79 but for 2 it's only a fiver. Can't get the logic there.
    Surely they're overcharging for the single pizza?

    I was in a Tesco Metro in temple bar a while ago , went into buy grated cheese, 1 pack was €2.99 but it was 2 for €3!!! only needed 1 but made no sense not to get 2 as I was only paying 1cent for the second pack!!

    :D The second verse would be about awkwardly fumbling in a bra cup trying to extract the key when I got home. It's difficult to do discreetly.;)

    Waiting for my period to arrive. I know, TMI, but what the hell.

    Was due them last week. Didn't arrive. So every day I had to anticipate it and wear a pad, which in this weather is horrible.

    Bloody hate the anticipation, especially if I'm going to the gym and fear it happening as I'm working out.
    And it never arrives when you're just at home doing nothing. Oh no, it's not considerate like that.

    You'll be there, in your white jeans or in church or something (who am I kidding, I don't go to church) and HELLO! IM HERE!

    There is a stupid ad on my phone in this thread for "uber", whatever the hell that is. All I have to do is scroll past it, and it loads and opens another tab. It's doing my head in :(

    Kanye Gobsh1te West, murdering Bohemian Rhapsody.

    He should have his testicles stapled (rusty staples) to his knees.

    When people don't put clothes pegs back on the line properly, making it really hard to push them along to make room for the washing as it goes up. Every single one of them was on ar$eways. At least there's great drying out ;) .

    When you forget that the electricity in your area is being turned off for the day. :o

    Colleague has the sound on on their pc speakers and apparently keeps clicking on stuff they're not meant to be clicking on, or getting system messages. Bing! Bing! Bing!!!! Just turn the damn speakers off and only enable your headphones.

    Am feeling decidedly irritable and lazy today. Have the day off and was meant to go into town to get a few things but I cannot get up off my behind. Everyone is annoying me lately, except for my dog and the stray cat that comes to the window.

    Typical...

    from: theguardian.com/business/2015/apr/21/uk-supermarkets-dupe-shoppers-out-of-hundreds-of-millions-says-which

    Multi-buys: prices are increased on multi-buy deals so that the saving is less than claimed. Asda increased the price of a Chicago Town Four Cheese Pizza two-pack from £1.50 to £2 last year and then offered a multi-buy deal at two for £3. A single pack went back to £1.50 when the “offer” ended.
