Yes, but not in Ireland. I have yet to hear anybody use it in everyday conversation but then it's probably the company that I keep.

I can't tell if that was an intentional joke or not?

Are you really from Del Monte? :pac:

EDIT: Bloody hell, I'm only after discovering that pineapples don't grow on trees!

I only had to check because of the way he picked the pineapple -

Was walking down Henry Street this morning, minding my own business and eating a sausage roll.

What can only be described as a MONSTER seagull appeared at my shoulder, grabbed what it could of the sausage roll, and took off.

It frightened the bejeesus out of me but most of the people passing by were laughing out loud and pointing

Not guilty

Blister patches. The Compeed ones used to be really good, but for some reason they kept falling off so I got some of the 'extreme' Compeed blister patches. It sticks but there's no buffer it's just a thin oval of bloody uselessness and since there's no actual comfort in it I might as well have just saved my 9 euro and put sellotape over the blister.:(

I just cannot learn the material for the theory test. Now I'm doing a degree in biomedical science, attend med school as a result and did pretty well in school. But learn the answers to the theory test? Hell no

Fair weather Cyclists , all over the roads in the summer wrecking my head, nowhere to be seen on a cold wet Tuesday morning in December :mad::)

That's what happens if you shove a sausage down your throat in a busy street: the censoring brigade swoops in and takes control of the situation

Summer - great to see the sun and warmer weather (sometimes)...
Sandals - great time of the year to wear them...
Crack Heels - not great to see in public.

If you want us to see your lovely sandals, put some cream on those heels.

I'm the same as you. :P I find the questions so tedious, which puts me off learning them.

Really dull or something? I never get more than 30 correct. But sometimes it's arguable that there's more than one correct answer :mad: ...
Or so I tell myself :pac:

Mice. We spent over an hour getting a mouse one of the cats had brought in out of the living room. The little rat bastard could certainly move fast. Mr P caught him and put him over in the fields, I'd have let the cats have it. Now we can't find the remote control.:mad:

I do, and of course the beauty of not liking someone's posts is that you can click the ignore button.

The back brakes of my car are gone apparently. I am carless for the second time this year

There's an awful lot of children with phones now, it's just the way things are going really. My young lad is 10 and he's had phones since he was 6. He just uses it like a normal person though, as in he doesn't have his head constantly stuck in candy crush or selfies or snapchat, etc.

He's also responsible for buying his own phones and credit though, he's not that bloody spoiled! :pac:

Filing my nails - one of the most boring tasks ever. I need to file them to strengthen them but all I want to do is bite them. It's actually driving me mad not being able to nibble them.

Couldn't get on to boards for an hour! Nothing would load and I couldn't come on here to complain that I was annoyed!

Samsgirl · 08-07-2015 10:33PM

Couldn't log into Boards for just over an hour and had to actually have a conversation with my husband!!

lizzyman · 09-07-2015 12:47AM

Packaging that is unnecessarily difficult to open. Spent about 10 minutes earlier wrestling with a bottle of Listerine just to get the fúcking thing open.

That sentence is ever so slightly self contradictory.

Especially not today. We still haven't found the remote control so I've got to use the button on top of the Sky box until my husband gets up later and pulls the sofas out to see if it's under there.

Couldn't log into Boards earlier because the page wouldn't load in any browser. Did all the usual stuff, reset router, checked settings, proxies, firewall ect, ect. I then checked PC time & date in control panel and it was up to date. But I decided to do an auto time update/sync anyway. And hey presto, Boards.ie is loading as normal. It's the kind of annoying glitchy nonsense, that reminds me I'm glad I don't work in IT.

It was down for me too....about 30 mins ago.

I can't track a package that's due because the courier companys site hasn't been updated all week, so I don't know when it'll arrive. Kind of defeats the point of tracking.

Just following up from my previous post, I'm noticing it's taking about 15-20 seconds for every page/thread to open. My connection speed is perfect, so it must be a site issue.

People spelling Barbecue with a Q. It's wrong. Really, it is.

This irritates me every single time, which is just about every time I ever see the word, these days, so ubiquitous is this mis-spelling.
