All last evening there was a blue bottle so big that it must need to get flight clearance to take off and land, recreating his favourite scenes from top gun just above my head. And me too lazy to get up and sort the big blue hellion out :mad:

I mowed the lawns yesterday. Every time I got near a hedge, I was absolutely swarmed with flies. It was like the fourth fcuking plague.

Since it was such a nice day yesterday we went for a spin to the JFK Arbotetum. We got sandwiches and drinks from the cafe, and sat outside. Oh my God , the f*cking wasps were dive bombing us, landing on our plates etc. My mother is terrified of them, and was jumping up and shrieking every two seconds. The teenager sat there with a face like a slapped arse. Three year old was choking laughing at the whole scenario:). I'm more of an ignore them and hope they f*ck off type. The wasps that is. It was too much effort to pile everything back on trays and carry it back into the cafe, so lunch was inhaled

I will never get back the 5 minutes I have just lost watching the start of Police Academy 3. What rubbish! To think that there were 8 movies in the series.

Flies in my part of the country are more psychotic. Once I get near a tree line I get swarmed also, but then 3 or 4 of them will follow me everywhere no matter where I go. The little b@stards will just dive bomb my head and seem desperate to fly into my ears. I've often had to leave the garden for a couple of hours because they just drive me nuts. Thankfully I have no neighbours living near me, otherwise they'd probably think I was crazy as I frenziedly swipe at thin air shouting out every expletive under the sun.:(

Thankfully, I am not alone. That was me yesterday. Sister in law thought I was cracking up. And what is it with the ears. I went in at one stage and emptied half a can of fly spray on my head. Did no good at all. Maybe I am cracking up. Can you get those Aussie type hanging cork hats in Ireland?

fussyonion · 08-08-2015 11:30AM

Fruit flies hovering around me 'cos I'm eating strawberries.
FECK OFF.
Where are you when I want to kill you? Nowhere, that's where.
But as soon as I take my berries from the fridge, you're all around me!
Seriously, get the fk.

Like yourself, I was checking out those mesh hats but I never got one. I can't remember where I've saw those hats, but check out some hunting & fishing websites. They usually sell anti-bug protection for hunters ect.

When you watch part of a little-known movie called Twilight Zone and realise that the famous later movie Cocoon ripped it off and copied it.

Just relax as much as possible. Try to see it as a learning experience rather than a make or break interview. Have confidence in yourself....and try to picture the interviewer naked!

I remember when I used to interview people. It totally freaked me out to think that some Hotie lady was imagining me naked.

The poor girls were probably ill at the sight of me!

Try and be confident and think 'I'm right for this job'.

Best of luck!

I'm trying to learn answers off by heart so I don't mess up.. I already have a job so I don't even know if I want this one

I'm useless at thinking on the spot!

Bought a really pretty dress today.

Friend: how much?
Me: 45
Friend: seriously?! That's so expensive.
Me: didn't you spend 23 on one lipstick??
Friend: eh yeah

Whist then

I went into the supermarket in sunshine, and came out to black sky and wind. My copy of Lidl News blew out of the trolley and wrapped around my face.

My uncles wife trivally annoyes me and beyond. She treats everyone like they are remedial or something. And questions my mother intensively and pries way too much. "Is mud mask working yet?", " What did mudmask's sister pay for her house?". How can people be so blatenly rude and noisy? I've been in college and am planning on continuing straight into a masters so I've it done with, but this is deemed ridiculous in her opinion as I should be working full time

Tell her to **** off. People like that tend to be deeply unhappy with their life choices and pick other people's lives apart to give them a sense of superiority and accomplishment that they can't get anywhere else.

RTE sport reporting on the Ashes cricket snore fest between England and Australia. "Blah blah innings, boring, not a real sport if you don't have to be fit, runs, blah blah, fall asleep, wooly jumpers, no one cares"

McChubbin · 08-08-2015 05:52PM

TA'd that Dublin Comic Con only lasts 2 days. Most fun I've had in ages!
Also, very annoyed that not only is there nowhere to sit to wait for the buses/Swords Express outside North Wall Quay but also that I was left standing for 40 minutes as the shagging Swords Express never showed up. Cost me €21 taxi fare to get home! I could've used my bus pass for free and gotten another film cell out of that money!

:mad:
Lastly, TA'd that I might be slightly addicted to buying Funko Pop figurines. I have two already. Why are they so cute?! WHHHHY?!

That is a beautiful image.

If it's any consolation to your TA, I'm sitting here stressed out at my desk and it cheered me right up!

Ugh my Facebook news feed is now only showing around ten posts and then it shows this message at the bottom :

" You'll have more stories in News Feed if you add more friends. "

Rub it in, Facebook, why don't you

TA that my ears get blocked twice yearly and I need them cleaned

Who needs their ears cleaned that much seriously! Haven't been able to hear for the past few days so cant even watch a film with the oh .
So I resort to boards where my addiction is rapidly growing.
Also ta that the oh calls nachos and salsa chips and dip
