Can a week go by without gremlins affecting this site? Every post I've tried to make, takes about 2 minutes to actually post into a thread
. And I've had to log in and out multiple times because I'm getting this.
I can't see any links, tabs, usernames, titles ect. Fecking crazy shít and it's getting real tiresome.0 -

In one of the chill insurance ads the girl at the end goes: "do you like that joke? It's about as funny as your head".
What the ****. There is no logic to that joke, there is no point to it. What does she mean when she says "about as funny as your head"?
"as funny as" surely means degree or level of funniness, not type of funniness.
If she said "it's funny alright..... funny like your head!".... okay, that makes perfect sense. Of course the writing's terrible, but at least it makes basic bloody sense in english.
"about as funny as your head" in that context is a new type of english that I'm unfamiliar with. Just because the ad is somehow meant to be light-hearted, doesn't mean that suddenly normal rules of english don't count. It seriously does my head in every time I hear it.
And aside from that, what is the girl hostile for anyway, why was she insulting that guy and saying the joke was terrible. It makes no sense to begin with.0 -

Those invisible posts are probably mine.
You need Adobe Awesomeness to display them. :cool:0 -

They probably want to put a brand new engine into it. You could always get one from a breakers yard, but then you'd have to find someone to fit it. Happened to me before and I just changed it myself - new engine for €600!

I don't know, would it be better if they spat the phlegm out on the luas?

On the other hand, I've a very annoying colleague who always has to make a comment. Every time I meet/pass by him, it "Big Badly Drunk Boy!!*" (I'm about a foot taller than him). I'm tempted to call him 'Little Dave' but I don't.
He cycles to work, as do I, and if my bike is out of commission or I just decide to walk to work, he always has to say "No-Bike Badly Drunk Boy!!*".
Three times in the past 2 weeks, he has commented on the way I locked my bike so I was devastated to hear that his bile was just robbed. (I've an alibi.)
I probably brought it on myself as most people dislike him, or just think he's creepy (especially females), but I tolerate him.
*Badly Drunk Boy is my real name.
Your post reminds me of another TA that is people feeling they have a right to comment on your appearance. I grew up with my mothers bItch-ignorant stay at home friends commenting on how tall I was for my age. Just f*ck off the lot of you. Grew up with a complex about my height because of them. And also, why is it that people feel they can comment on your size if you're tall but not if you're small? Similarly, they say things like ,"well aren't you a skinny bItch" or "you must be watching your weight" but never, "Jaysis look at the size of you, have you been eating all the pies?" 0 -

Clearly not, it would be better if they behaved in a civilised fashion and refrained from snorting, hacking and digesting the contents of their nasal passages when sitting on a luas. Or you know, use a tissue?0 -
Reading back through older than old threads because I'm bored and seeing what an out and out sap of a poster I used to be. "Oh my God, I'm a virgin, what goes where?" or "help he hasn't called since we had sex!" (duh) and parping on about relationship insecurities and fighting with people about cats and whether they should be inside or outside. Shame on Old OldNotWIse, she wasn't very wise!

Don't worry about it, I usually feel this way if I happen upon one of my own posts from last week, let alone years ago!0 -
