    When you go upstairs to get something, but have to come back down because you forgot what you went upstairs to get.:(

    It's a pain in the ass for staff who have to ask it. It's called upselling and you're forced to do it.

    reminds me of (as previously mentioned in this thread);

    Do you have a loyalty card?
    No.
    Would you like a loyalty card?
    No. (I receive enough spam emails as it is!!)

    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.

    A barbequeue is a queue formed at a barbecue (noun) in order to obtain some barbecued (past participle) meat from the barbecue (noun).

    Robbed from a grammar site I came across.

    Sounds a bit Baroque to me. (not Baro-cue)

    Would that barbecue have been at Kew Gardens? I mean, Q Gardens?

    While doing the dishwasher, I scraped my finger along a cheese grater. :o

    Annoyed that a friend is trying to turn me off getting my hips pierced because of the scars. I don't really care about the scars, the purpose of getting them pierced is to hide other scars, so what have I got to lose? Absolutely nothing. Can she understand? Absolutely not. GRRRRR :(

    Would a tattoo not be better? I only ask as I've a really big area of scar tissue that I'm planning to have tattooed at some point and a tattoo seems like the right way to go.


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


    When a tissue gets put through the washing. Not just any wash, oh no, this had to be a dark wash.:mad:

    It probably would be a good idea, it's just I'm only 19 and don't want to rush into a tattoo I'd regret either, so I'll leave it a few years :)

    Be careful inking over scar tissue, if its all scar tissue fair enough, but mine are more random scars over the area, so it would look really stripey if you get me? But if you just have a full area of scar tissue it would work really well for you :)

    I know. It's very bumpy skin and I'll be very careful about who I get to do it, at least it's an area that's usually covered up.:D

    It's surgical scarring as a result of skin grafts, so nothing other than clothes or a big tattoo will hide it. :D

    TA by people who act like they're all confused and overwhelmed by Ryanair's queueing arrangements and conveniently get themselves through the priority boarding lane without a priority ticket.
