    The "shared bedroom" option when seeking a room to rent should be 100% BANNED.

    Cuisine de France bread rolls all nice and crispy when you buy them, then end up soft and bland the day after.

    Soft? You could use them as a weapon after a few hours.

    When I message someone interesting on POF, I open with something nice and friendly.

    Then she messages back and we get a good conversation going and 3-5 messages in, the conversation just dies and I being the one who sent the last message and I'm left hanging then.

    Annoys me when there isn't a reply, like I didn't say anything to frighten the girl off!

    When you fill out all the details to book a flight or a hotel online and when you get to the final button to click Confirm and............the webpage freezes and you have to fill out all the details again..........:mad:

    Also a bit more trivial but I hate being in a toilet cubicle having some quiet reflection time and someone walks into the next cubicle, SLAMS the door closed and SLAMS the toilet seat down. Instantly makes me feel anxious and on edge. :(

    At least you get a few replies.

    Oh that's happened a plenty, I don't know which is worse getting no reply, or getting replies and the conversation drops out of nowhere, messaging some Jersey Shore wannabe perhaps.

    I do the lotto online and I got an email from them this morning.

    "Hi SFP

    We have some exciting news!

    Your ticket number xxxxxxxxx has won a prize! Please sign in to your account at www.lottery.ie, go to your account and take a look in your Gaming History to see what you've won."

    I had everything planned out. Bags were packed, goodbye note on the kitchen counter, passport in my hand. Then I logged in.

    ..... €4! Trolling bastards.

    Staying in someone else's house and waking up not knowing whether to get up or stay in bed.

    Also, Wales is very wet. It's like Ireland. Doesn't feel like I'm on holiday :(

    It's good if they're trying to be smart but expose themselves by pronouncing it hyper-bowl.

    About 29 seconds in......

    I'm going to guess that it's Plenty of Fish, a dating website of sorts, I think.

    My TA today, I have a stinking cold and it's such a nice day. Was meant to be going out, but haven't the energy :(

    If you're not going anywhere, I strongly suggest having alcohol.
    Seriously, it really helps a cold/flu.

    Last Christmas Day I was in the height of it with a really bad chest infection/cold and felt so awful.
    Obviously I couldn't get medication as it was Christmas Day, so I had a few glasses of wine, and I felt a lot better afterwards.

    When I told my doc a few days later, he wasn't surprised to hear alcohol had helped.

    I also had a few beers a few months ago when I had a stinking cold and I felt 80% better afterwards.
    And no, I wasn't drunk on either occasion!

    Try it and see...oh, and feel better soon :)

    A few years ago there was a brazilian lad on daft advertising a bed share. In the ad he said he was not fussy if it was a woman or a man.

    So we faked a profile of a gamely young lady and contacted him. Was great fun leading him on for a bit.
    But he was very creepy!

    The rental situation is absolutely appalling at the moment. I am incredibly shocked at the state of it. It has to be seen to be believed.

    A fur ball would be better, I could dislodge it with a bit of malt paste:D, but this is a lung infection and I'm on to my second course of antibiotics to try to shift the damn thing.

    Hayfever and/or sinus problems.

    My head is absolutely blocked full today and if it were possible to lose weight through snot, I'd be anorexic by now. Or a skeleton.

    Watching any track & field athletics events on BBC while there are British athletes competing!

    I know they are biased, we are too, but damn they are just so cocky & smug sometimes, and it really annoys me.

    And while we're on the subject, the term 'Team GB' oh how I despise it!! Not the athletes themselves, just the whole love in the U.K. nation had for 'Team GB' over that last few years!!

    Just get a room already!!
