Just saw someone say 'I'm in Marbs on holiday' on FB. Why does this annoy me.

Soak in fairly hot water and then use a sterilised sewing needle to pick it out

I soak it in hot water, then get a nail clippers and clip the skin off until the splinter comes out. So basically you're left with a really sore bloody finger with a big hole in it

Possibly because they're all wearing bikinis and, well...

Threw on a size 14 this morning and looked like a whale. I've become rotund.

TA: Women who refer to themselves as rotund at a size 14, unless you're like 3ft in height or something.

Otherwise, it just sounds... odd!

Well I'm odd then. And rotund. The 14 doesn't fit?!

A nail clipper? !?!
No wonder you have a sore finger.
The trick with the sewing needle is to gently bore to the splinter :-)

I read that as "My house is empty, rob me"

Use of the term Marbs?

The whole live updates of someones holiday on Facebook which includes a daily check in at the hotel/resort, daily photos of the swimming pool, and/or a beer, followed by the quotes "just chilling by the pool"

1. I don't care where you are or what you are doing.
2. Your hotel/resort actually looks quite shítty
3. You must really be 'chilling out' if you can't leave your phone down for 5 minutes, and feel the need to constantly update the world on how relaxed you are.
4. I don't care where you are or what you are doing.
5. Oh look, you're eating/drinking in an Irish bar every day, on 'holz', how original and cultured you are oh wise world traveller.
6. You're about 1 more inane post away from being deleted.

There are some people who never post on FB and then they go on their summer holidays to some resort somewhere and you get hourly updates for 2 weeks.
Who gives a fck?!

Had 4 pints on Sunday. Thumping headache the next morning. Nurofen didn't work, nor did paracetemol. Headache still here today. Gonna have to buy Nurofen Plus even though they're a fiver more than Nurofen but normal Nurofen don't work. Why are they selling them anyway??

Soluble solpadine is your friend then.....though pharmacists tend to treat you like a coke fiend when you try to buy them

The amount of times I have answered a question on the interview thread, then deleted it because I can't think of a question to ask:(

whiskeyman · 28-07-2015 11:12AM

Eating a lovely clementine and then being distracted / interrupted if you've some segments already peeled left as they tend to go all hard very quickly in the air and it just ruins the soft, juicy experience

Just join the "Write the first word that comes to mind when you read the word above" thread, it's much easier!!

The Irish Times magazine on a Saturday. Once upon a time it was interesting read with decent features.

Now it's infomercials for nice hotels and luxury resorts, rivetting cover stories on where to get a haircut in Dublin and Ronan Keating's latest girlfriend. And syrupy Hello style wedding features.

Teyla Emmagan · 28-07-2015 11:47AM

One of my friends is having her first baby. Has she always been this boring or have I just not noticed?! It's baby baby baby 24/7. I would just like one conversation with her when she is not talking about the baby, how huge she is or rubbing her bump and making "ow" faces.

I'm worn out!

Menas · 28-07-2015 11:49AM

Missing my lunch to wait for a pre arranged call that never came. So I called yerman who was supposed to call me...and he was in a nice restaurant...having lunch.

FFS!

If you think it's bad now, wait until she actually has it:D

When you buy some food that's divided into sealed sections (savoury muffins from Aldi for example, two on each side) and you carefully tear along the middle, but both sides end up tearing! Now you've got four open muffins when you only wanted two....grrr

I can help you by eating two of them if you like?

I am sick of being such a Nervous Nelly! I get heart-poundingly, breathlessly, dizzyingly nervous over the tiniest things. I had to make an important phone call and hand in a form today - I nearly puked! Strangely enough I cope really well if there is a major crisis or high stress situation, it's just tiny things that make me a Panicking Pamela. TA'd by my weirdness!

Boom_Bap · 28-07-2015 01:43PM

The motherf*cking motherf*ck*r that tried to deliver a leaflet in my door again today.
This time it was a 'handwritten' letter from an estate agent telling me of the millions and bazillions of people that want to buy my house.
I opened the door and handed it back to him, wihout even looking for an explanation he said 'My Mistake'.
The motherf*cker knew exactly what he had done. Motherf*cker.

Ever read the Mr Men book about Mr Jelly? He was a wee bit nervous too....

Spent all of last week working on a group project. Paid a babysitter for three evenings and worked straight through so I'd get finished. Then I couldn't resist uploading it all, so yesterday the others in the group passed off a lot of their work onto me because they hadn't finished yet and knew I had. The deadline is tomorrow so I ended up having to have my children minded again today so we'll be finished in time. I knew I shouldn't have sent my stuff on so early - I could have pretended that I'm still working on it and taken the children out for the day. I just couldn't resist pressing that send button on Friday evening! I'm fuming!

You should have told them to jog on the cheeky bastards.

The Sunday Business Post 'Agenda' magazine is a much better read, and similar to what the IT Magazine was like back in it's heyday. I agree it's turning into mush now. It's only a matter of time before Rosanna / Wes are on it!

TA - went to staple a document and didn't realise there was only one staple left in the stapler... that decided it must get caught coming out and mess the whole damn thing up...
bah!

You need to be a Mellow Maeve. Try to wake up and be a Happy Helen.
