Noisy smokers.

There is a bloke where I work and when he smokes you would think he was deep breathing for child birth with the noises that come out of him.

:mad:

Hotels that have those conveyer belt style toasters in the breakfast room/restaurant.

They're not slow enough to properly toast bread with 1 pass, yet too slow to toast bread without burning it with a second pass.

Example;
Run the bread through once: comes out mildly warm with just a hint of discolouration to show its actually toasting.
Run the bread through a second time: Black carbon is the result (bonus points if there is a smoke alarm nearby)

Some of them I know you can control the speed of the belt, but with a lot of them, the controls are hidden away!!

:eek: What kind of third world hell hole hotels do you stay in? Sweet Jesus, the waiting staff are supposed to bring the toast to you.:D

I decided to treat myself to a night of luxury in a hotel before a weekend camping at the Electric Picnic. I got to use my new bag (with wheels!!) for my stuff. My brother had been at me for years to get one but I'm stubborn. Leaving for the train station yesterday, I carried the bag first but then whipped out the handle to wheel the bag after me.

However, because I'm 6'5", the wheels didn't even reach the ground, the gap being about 2 or 3 inches. I was not impressed...

You need to get yourself a man bag (not a satchel) but one of those leather carry ones (not marked with Adidas & Fred Perry), the only downside is amount of ladies hanging off you. The wife gets very annoyed, you may as well be out walking the puppy with his tartan neckerchief.

When you're in a cafe or similar and there's one table left and you want to eat/drink there. You wait in line, table is still free, still free, about to get your food.

Then a couple comes in and one says "I'll save the seat, while the other goes off to queue". :mad:

What are those? · 03-09-2015 09:18AM

people who sit in the wrong seat at the cinema/matches/gigs etc, either your ignorant of not understanding where your to sit or your just a prick knicking someone elses seat (i dont mind if you move once the event begins tho if theres free spaces elsewhere)

My own laziness. I am off this week and cant be arsed to go and do something. Lousy weather putting me off.
Luckily the Irish times got delivered free so I can spend a couple of hours with that.

Indicators must be an optional extra on some cars. V TA that I got them. Could have saved some money and got some shiney go faster stripes instead!

I was looking forward to trying a new recipe out tonight, then I realised I forgot to buy one of the key ingredients so I'll have to go to the supermarket again tomorrow.:(

Nosey in-laws.

Other half's mammy tried opening a rant to my girlfriend about what I buy with my own money and her disapproval of the items I buy.

I play games as a hobby so naturally I buy games every now and then.

One man's trash is another man's treasure

What are those? · 03-09-2015 02:35PM

Sometimes it's more practical to stay in a shïttÿ little Holiday Inn on the side of a motorway for me, as I visit industry, so not always in the most glamorous locations! (That's in the U.K. anyway!)
Europeans tend to build their power stations in nicer places!!

When you're treating yourself to eating out in a restaurant, you finally get your food and you've just started tucking in to a tasty meal when....

"Hi is everything alright for you?"

Two minutes later:

"Hi is there anything I can get for you?"

Just **** off and let me eat my food! if I want something I'll let you know ok!

It's always when you have a big mouthful of food too, so you end up furiously nodding and trying not to talk with your mouth full.

Because I have a stye, I can't wear mascara at the moment.
So now I feel like a baldy panda.

PandaPoo · 03-09-2015 04:23PM

We have a basketball court in the estate, some idiots brought their huskies into it two weeks ago to shave them.

Now the court is full of fur! Who the f*ck thinks that's acceptable?

Not trivial but very annoying, how many camera people took photos and filmed that poor kid lying on the beach before the Turkish policeman moved him,
Photo op or run and take him out of the water..

Sadly there's nothing new in that, usually it's war zones though.

Today trivial things seemed like just that, trivial.

selous · 03-09-2015 06:19PM

Sorry for ruining the trivial things guys,

But i'll try n get back on track now, got my THIRD bill yesterday from Irish water, this one in for E17,80 and yet I registered before the cut off date, and this came to "the occupier" the ones I got before I registered came addressed to my name, hmmmm.

mud · 03-09-2015 06:39PM

Plans changing and suddenly it's almost 8pm and I've done feck all with my day.

Robsweezie · 03-09-2015 07:16PM

Dramatik, Do a bjork and reef them out of it :-D

TA farting in polite company, and hoping it's not smellable, and if is then hoping it's gone before anyone comes in and notices.

McChubbin · 03-09-2015 07:54PM

TA that the art of letter writing seems to be dying out. One of my dearest friends recently quit the auld BookFace and I haven't heard a thing from her in a few weeks which is slightly worrying. Still, a mutual friend told me she's doing grand and suggested sending her a nice little note. Since I don't have her email, phone number or even a Skype address, it seems the best option.
So yes, I am bringing back letter writing. Got some lovely purple envelopes in Tiger so there's no excuse! :P

In fairness it takes half of a second to take a photo, so it could have just been one person who simply went "click" and that was that.

And they may have already reported it to police and been told not to touch the body and were awaiting their arrival.

Or there could have been police already in the vicinity who were keeping people back.

Either way, if I saw a child's dead body I certainly wouldn't immediately know how to react.

Impossible to tell from the photos what was actually going on around the body.

I love letter writing too. I've written at least three letters this year so far. If someone sends you a letter, it tells you that they've dedicated a special amount of their time especially to you. It says a lot.

You're making me nostalgic now. When my husband and I were first going out together 20 years ago he was in England and I was in Ireland so we used to write each other really long romantic love letters and we only got to see each other every 3 or 4 months. Flights were about 300 pounds then and our phone bills were shocking. Ah the old days, before mobile phones and the internet.:D Oh, and we both still have all the letters.:)

And when you've actually had enough time to taste the food or need something, they are far too busy polishing cutlery or folding napkins and impossible to attract their attention!

After my dad died we were clearing out the house. And hidden deep in a dark hidey hole I found a batch of love letters that he had sent and received from my mum when they were courting. He had kept them for 30 odd years and they looked well worn which I guess meant that he read them every now and again.

I could not read them, too personal, but did give them to her a few months later.
I really hope she has them still as I really want to own them some day. I just hope there is nothing dirty in there!
