Good thinking! I will definitely try this. Thanks

Think also of the poor folks squashed to death or burnt alive in a sweatshop in Bangladesh.
Works for me, anyway.

My TA. Living with someone who doesn't wash underwear. Just throws them out and buys new ones.

The fact that you can't get a decent fillet steak in a supermarket. You spend ages searching through their pre packed offerings, only to find when you get it home and unpack it, it's full of gicky bits of fat etc.. And they've just packaged it in a way to hide all the streaks of fat running through it.
I got one in Supervalu Swords (from the butcher counter) a few months ago, and by the time I (carefully) cut all the bits of fat away, there was only about 30-40% of the steak left!!
Kind of defeats the purpose of calling it a fillet.

The same applies to a ham fillet, it looks brilliant, but then you take the plastic packaging off it, and see that where they placed the sticker there is a big horrible line of fat going right through it.

(I know, I know, butchers are best, but a lot of times it's just more convenient to get all your food under the 1 roof)

I skipped breakfast this morning then was too busy at work to have lunch, so as starving by the time I arrived home. I decided to order a big pizza and extras, total pig-out, so I got my pizza, chicken wings and garlic bread. I forgot to order the fcuking garlic dip!! It's not the same without the fcuking garlic dip!!

People taking the P*** using communal bins, how do you generate 10 big black bags of "waste" in 3 days in and apartment, Washing my car on Friday, two of them carried 5 bags to the bins, on Sunday, while chatting to a neighbour same two guys walk over with 5 more, how???

KatW4 · 06-07-2015 08:16PM

I had dinner but I'm starving! Last week I had no appetite and this week I apparently have worms. Fix yourself body!

So what, it rained most of the day. Why does everyone say it's terrible out because it's raining?
If it didn't rain, we'd all die.
Put on a jacket and shut up.
There's no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothes choices.

What about tsunamis? Would they not count as bad weather? An anorak would be FA use:)

So every now and again when Mr Pumpkinseeds gets a bit run down I get him some Pharmaton and he takes them for a few days, then forgets them, then I nag for a few days about him not taking them and then I just accept that he's a grown assed man who can make his own decisions and I don't mention the Pharmaton again, so they get left there until they pass the sell by date. The last batch I got him a couple of weeks ago are still sitting mostly untaken in the kitchen. Bloke in work tells him how great the Pharmaton is and he's suddenly committed to taking them.:rolleyes:

Spanish Eyes · 06-07-2015 09:41PM

Re the Penneys thing, OMG, if I find something that is nice AND FITS ME WELL... I have learned the lesson and it is this...

Buy three or four of them that day or the next, because if you want more, they will be gone. Just like that.

The Call Centre posts above were hilarious. Even though I am TA'd that call centres think we are stupid. Even though we mostly are when it comes to that kind of thing!

The amount of times I actually roared and swore waiting for the bells of the angelus to stop ringing and ANSWER ME is unreal. My neighbours think I am nuts. Probably am.

Typical men!

But those Pharmaton, jays they are whoppers like horse tablets. I cannot swallow anything bigger than a smartie. I gag.

I am TA'd that I have to look at all this stuff for SIZE. I once even had to get the kids Penicillen in a bottle, because the tablets were like mini nuclear bombs.

Yeah, they're massive. I'd take them myself but they're not veggie friendly. That's another trivial annoyance, the amount of foodstuffs/vitamins/sweets and even crisps that have hidden gelatine in them.

I have male relatives who have never lifted a finger to do anything in the house, and they're adults.

My obsessive nature. I obsess over everything and usually they're stupid things!

This might sound a bit weird but, birds. Birds which hang around fast food joints and restaurants. They are huge!! They waddle around barely able to keep up on their spindly little legs, swaying uncontrollably and drunkenly in front of cars, too slow to really flutter off due to their diet. I'm scared I'll squash them but they are like vultures swooping down on fragments of burgers and whatnot. 'Tis a sad day for them.

Menas · 07-07-2015 07:44AM

I seem to have been eaten alive by bugs over the last week. But because I was loaded up on anti-histamines (for hayfever) I did not notice.
But am off the anti-histamines now and all the wee bites are itching like hell. Need to get to the Pharmacy!

Captain Chaos · 07-07-2015 08:15AM

I'm in bad need of new footware so for the past week or so I've been shopping around for various types of shoes and runners to cover all events and situations. Do you think I can find anything I like in size 11, not a hope. Anything I like the look of and ask, oh we only have that in a 10 and 12. The 10s never fit and the 12s are like clown shoes. Even tried the online stores and the same thing. So by the looks of thing most men in Ireland have size 11 feet, why won't stores take note of this and order more of that size for everything.

Looking at that post it reads like a womans problem.:D

TA that I should be working but am looking at boards for distraction...but it is mad quiet in here!

Ireland AM. I think I've only ever seen 1 other episode and had forgotten how awful it is. I only put it on as Sky News are really only running with 1 news story for the rest of the day. But after 5 minutes of Ireland AM I just had to turn it off, so much vacuous twaddle.

Such crap. And does it really require four people to present such mediocre nonsense?

People who post selfies on FB every day for attention. Emm, you're the wrong side of 40 and still single with no sign of a boyfriend on the horizon love, you're not that great now are you?

Minion Quotes on FB, FFS they're the new Marilyn Monroe quotes.
I saw one last night that had a passage that went out for ages. You wouldn't be able to quote the first two lines never mind the whole thing.
