    Mr FelineOverLord made a classic school boy error this morning. My hairdresser also cuts his hair and after his haircut he proceeded to tell me that she's lost weight, and was wearing a very 'sheer' dress.:rolleyes: Never, never, EVER tell your spouse that someone younger and slimmer than they are is looking very well, it just doesn't end well.:D

    My place of work is advertising heavily at the moment and it's wrecking my Friday buzz. Have seen the ad about 5 times since I switched on the telly a couple hours ago.

    Out of sight out of mind is just not possible! !

    Someone I know just posted 10 near identical photos of a fountain on snapchat. It's obviously not that impressive if you have time to take loads of pictures of it. :rolleyes:

    When you choose a cafe based on excellent reviews and it turns out to be crap. We had breakfast yesterday in a cafe that had great reviews and I was disgusted by the place. No light and fluffy scrambled egg for me, oh no. What I got was a puddle of half raw slop on a plate, 2 bog standard frozen veggie sausages that are available from any supermarket and a half cooked tomato that had been doused in ground black pepper in an attempt to disguise the fact that it wasn't cooked properly. I don't even like black pepper. Mr FOL's toast was so undercooked that it turned to mush when buttered. FFS, what kind of incompetent twat can't cook something as basic as egg, tomato and toast:confused::mad:

    I was all set to complain as we'd left most of it on the plate, there was no way I was eating that egg, but some wan' had her kids running around the place and I'd already had one of them bump me in the abdomen. Plus I was still peeved at my husband over his tactless earlier comment.:D

    Getting ready to leave the country in a few hours, severely ticked off that I never made that list of things I need to remember last time that I always swear I'm going to make.

    Am I going to make it this time? Feck no, I'm busy packing. Sure I'll remember it all next time.

    When you're walking down a road, approaching a junction and a car is coming and indicating to turn. You stop walking so they can make the turn, and they stop (to let you cross the junction). I stopped so you don't have to. Worse when they do it on a main road. Grrrr.

    People with double-barrelled names.

    A few girls who I went to school with are now married and a few days after the wedding they changed their names on Facebook.

    Out of 8 of them who were married, 6 now have double-barrelled names.
    So instead of it being (e.g) "Lisa Smith", it's now "Lisa Smith-Murphy" or instead of it being "Ciara Ryan" it's now "Ciara Ryan-King".

    Feck off.

    Must have been mentioned before. People who pull into a petrol station and park at a pump and then get out, don't get petrol and saunter off into the shop for whatever. Especially worse when its a garage with a big forecourt where there's plenty of parking away from the pumps. ****.

    People putting chopped onions in the fridge.
    It doesn't matter how tightly-sealed the container is, don't put onions in the fridge.
    Bloody stinks.
    And now my jelly smells of onions. Bang goes dessert.

    My wife has her name double-barrelled on social media, and I initially passed it off as pretentiousness, but that didn't make any sense as my wife isn't the pretentious type, so curiosity getting the better of me I asked what's the deal with that?

    "It makes it easier for my friends to find me on Facebook"

    I was sorry I asked :pac:

    Perhaps you should have been more fussy about not storing a chopped onion in the fridge. ;)

    I had to do it.:pac:

    Bloody computer speakers are crackling, really irritating. Plugging them out and back in isn't working.

    Do people sneak into your house to do this?

    Being asked "where are the eggs / bread / coffee etc"? when I'm in a supermarket - just because I'm wearing a shirt and tie.

    The over analysis of sport on TV.

    We have at least 30min before the game, then hour afterwards (you can double these figures for sky's super Sundays).

    And when it all boils down to it, most is irrelevant as humans make mistakes and don't always play well, that's the nature of sport on all levels, it happens to even plebs like me and you. Sometimes I can play a great game if footy, score with every shot, other days couldn't hit a barn door. It's the way it is.

    So why analysis every single goal and say this guy should have done this or that. If they all did as the analysts said, games would be nil nil as there wouldnever be a mistake.

    Latest example, the great Paul O'Connell talking after today's defeat to Wales, saying we didn't execute as we would have liked to. So why didn't they? Simple, because you can't always perform to the highest level no matter how much you plan or try to.

    You beat Wales one week, lose to them the next, that's sport, because one team can be great one week and not so great the next
