My mother in law's dinners. Just had a baby so herself and the hubby think it's great to give me dinner at her house to save me the bother. The bother of eating something I might like. The bother of being able to make myself a cup of tea when I want. The bother of keeping the house from looking like a squatters' refuge. If I am offered one more carrot I'm gonna turn into Bugs Bunny. The woman thinks you can be a vegetarian with one vegetable, carrots. I'm not vegetarian but she makes meat so inedible it's becoming a reality. It'd be a lot less bother to just turn on the bleeping oven than pack half the house into the car just to get stinky dinners. On the upside, my figure is returning really quickly because I'm freaking starving!! Freaking carrots!!

Sliced chillis for dinner. Washed hands - very well I thought until I went to remove contact lenses. The burning will subside Im sure.

I know that pain, has happened a few times.

Another time I was opening chillies, no contacts or glasses, and a seed popped up in the air and in to my eye.
Honest to God, the left side of my face went numb. The pain was something else. Had to take the next day off work too.

Now that I have you all here, I need to ask a question. (and any other Game of Thrones watchers out there.) I find GoT quite hard to follow. I understand what's going on only about 50% of the time. So, after every few episodes, I read episode recaps online to try to help me figure out wtf just happened - but to be quite honest, the recaps are even more confusing to me than the episodes themselves. Has difficulty in following GoT storylines been a common thing? Or is it just me? :pac:

I've never been great with being able to mentally process storylines in tv shows or films that involve a lot of politics or which have a high concentration of dialogue, and there's a ****load of dialogue and politics in GoT. I'm more of an emotional watcher.

The first season, I was confused as to who was who sometimes. But as it progressed I was able to figure it out. They do mention alot of things that seem insignificant, but kind of are. I read the book after S1 or S2 which sorted everything out in my mind. Then I carried on reading the books ahead of the show so I knew what to expect.
So my advice is to read the books as well as besides being awesome, answer some questions for you. Even if you are not a big reader, they are easy enough to get through.

My TA for today. Why in the name of bejaysus is there always, always a little black floater in a bowl of Frosties.

I have noticed that when you watch 'Despicable me 2' for anything more than the 12th time you start getting these little shakes. I wish the 4 year old would obsess about a different movie.

I hate the morning. I'm not a morning person in any way. Unfortunately my boyfriend is and he drives me mad trying to talk and snuggle. I just want to curl up in a ball and be silent for an hour or two. He gets all upset when I get cross with him. Ugh stupid mornings.

When you try to put a point on a pencil nowadays with a penknife, the lead breaks off just when you're nearly there

That sounds more like the blade on your penknife isn't sharp enough. The few times I'd sharpen a pencil at home and I didn't have a sharpener, I'd use a kitchen knife, and angle it so you're not cutting into the lead, but tapering off just to skim it.

Hahaha, true HBO seem to like stupidly long intros.

The Wire, went on for about 3 minutes. Good job I could fast forward.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Texting someone, and they ring back. I'm having a lazy Sunday morning, in the bed, just texted brother to say I'd meet him later today around 4pm, as we had discussed this during the week. He rings back, and is on the phone for nearly 15 minutes. A blow by blow account of every detail of a wedding he was at yesterday.
Anyway, lesson learned.

When you're hungry but you don't know what for, rooting through the presses.A missing piece of the hunger puzzle you can't find.

What annoys you about white girls liking Eminem?

I believe they're called "wiggers".

The new True Detective intro is really beyond the pale. I watch it on the PS3 so I can speed it up but even that is long too.

I was visiting an Aunt of mine earlier, who's just out of hospital after fracturing her hip. She's pretty religious so I thought she'd appreciate me bringing her to her local church. That's when my TA happened. There was someone sitting in front of us, who reeked of stale sweat. I'v never smelt BO like it, it was absolutely disgusting and eye wateringly bad.

Now if it was coming from a frail elderly person, I could have at least understood why their hygiene was a bit off. But the smell was coming from a couple in front of us, probably in their mid-forties and they appeared to have no physical impairments which might have affected their ability to maintain their personal hygiene.

Which begs the question, in a country where water is a very bountiful resource and a bar of soap can be purchased pretty cheaply in any shop. What kind of unwashed scumbags, would go into a gathering of other people with a bang off them that would raise the dead?

frozenfrozen · 02-08-2015 02:34PM

when someone gives a missed call and then sends a text saying call me back when you can. why not just text saying what you want. I know for a fact you want a favour, give me a head start for making my excuse up

I had to use ticketmaster earlier, this website combines so many annoyances I think its main purpose is just to annoy people. You can't choose the seats you want and just assigns random seats each time, you can't see what's actually available. There's a countdown on each page so you better hurry up or you have to start all over. Stupid captcha thing. Verified By Visa pops up just when you think you're finished. The fees are quite annoying too.

What is it with public transport and smelly people, fella sitting ahead of me must of showered in a slurry pit this morning.

Longest 3 hours of my life

Loafing Oaf · 02-08-2015 04:49PM

I wanted a €2 coin for the washer-dryer in my building so I put a tenner into the Dart ticket machine even though I had a fiver in my pocket. And got 6 singles back.

Is there a prize for the most trivial contribution to this thread?

AndyBoBandy · 02-08-2015 06:22PM

TA that I haven't a clue what those Lair threads are about over on the nocturnal forum!!
The best Google can come up with is it appears to be a game of some sort!
I just can't make head nor tail of what they do be saying in there, and I'm too afraid to ask as I think they'll just respond with coded riddles which will be mocking me, even though I won't understand said mocking!!!

They wouldn't mock you, any of them I know are really decent people.
So shopping in Lidl cos it's healthier I think and noticed the olive oil now is in a plastic bottle half the size yet still costs the same???? And the white potatoes are nice for roasting but due to the season perhaps they are now unwashed, I hate washing spuds.

They're just chat threads, Andy.

They're not a bad bunch over there. Just jump in and chat.

Some bastard stuck a knife or something into my car door and it's gone all rusty. My car is ancient but that doesn't give them the right to go around scraping it.

Sometimes the more ancient the car is the more of a magnet it is to tools who want to damage it

Robsweezie · 02-08-2015 11:54PM

Walking along in a world of your own and some cuntwaffle decides to beep at presumably someone they know as they pass by and frightening the **** out of me. Unnecessary.

Embarrassing bodies, and having to nervously flick between channels so someone doesn't catch you watching the awkward nudey parts. There's even a show entitled embarrassing bodies: penis special that's on from time to time, might as well pop on some Asian fart porn at full blast, easier to explain..

Seriously though, who looks at a penis special programme and thinks " better book that for later, nice night in sorted"

" babe, can you sky+ the penis special for me?"

one of my Mum's neighbours hates that we park down her street when we visit. He hates it so much I've had my car keyed twice. The whole length of the bloody car. My sister has had hers keyed 3 times and had foundation smeared all over it. My mum's car has had chocolate smeared on hers.

I understand that it's annoying when someone parks in the estate but my mum and sister live there and I did up until last year. Disgusting behaviour from a grown man. We cant prove It's him either even though every one knows
