    Forgetting to get yourself something nice for lunch.

    I was shopping and spotted a Mexican restaurant in the shopping centre as I was going up the escalator. I said to myself "I'll get a burrito on my way back".

    Went off, did my bits and pieces, left the shopping centre; it was only as I was driving out into traffic that I realised I forgot my burrito.
    And that made me want it even more.

    But I was stuck in traffic and I couldn't be bothered going back.
    Ended up having a wholegrain toasted sandwich....didn't hit the spot like a burrito would have :(

    When in the kitchen.

    Ah, a good friend approaches, Im sure they can see that I am using this facility and will wait the required 40 seconds for me to quickly finish before taking their turn, since they are evolved beyond baboon level and do have a modicum of patience.

    But nae.

    sorry can i just:
    -(open this press door in your face)
    -(push you aside like you're not even there)
    -(take your water/utensils/last cup)
    -(piss in your face)
    -(back you into a corner)

    no you cant, now fvck off.



    Yes your honor I killed him.

    -20 years for you

    Ah, but I said "sorry can I just".

    -Oh ..... I see...well ...well....thats ok then, since saying 'sorry can I just' means you can do whatever you like, a bit like hazard lights allow a van driver to park anywhere he wants, thats how it works.

    That Java updater thing pisses me off. I couldn't be bothered to update Java.

    Also, AVG hassles me to restart my computer when it updates.

    10 = Ten

    100 = One hundred

    1000 = One Thousand

    10000 = What's this?

    100000 = What's this?

    1000000 = One million

    On my nerves ever since I first learned to count.

    I can't help but get the feeling I'm missing something incredibly obvious here...

    Is it something to to with bits, bytes, megabits and megabytes?

    Has it something to do with Notavirus.exe being annoyed by antivirus software?

    That's going to annoy me now for the evening! I love cryptology, spotting patterns and all that stuff, but I'm no good at riddles :o

    I thought it was that ten thousand and a hundred thousand should be called one something.Now Im confused and a bit TAd as well (a very small bit but still..)

    Just turned on the beta out of curiosity on the touch site... jesus christ you'd want the thumbs of a child! :pac:

    Nah, that's just not going to fly for me at all at all, the people still using m.boards will have a fit if their beloved "Boards on a diet" gets turned off in favour of this mobile data hungry monster! :eek:

    EDIT: Trying to find the "Submit reply" button, 'twas hidden behind the page numbers button, and there's no attachment upload facility for screenshots either. It is still in beta I suppose in fairness.

    No the million is ok imo but the other two should have their own name as they are multiples of 10 similar to 100,1000 and 1000000.

    I didn't like when a supervisor would demand a standard of work that he wouldn't be able to produce himself.

    I'm laughing to myself right now. I genuinely didn't complain about AVG just to make a reference to my name. That was a coincidence, I swear! :p:D

    It's not a riddle and it has nothing to do with bits, bytes, etc.

    The Three network. Why did thy have to go and take over O2??? It was all working perfectly fine before they merged.
    Nothing but hassle with the network. No phone coverage for most of yesterday and today. Broadband is practically non existant also. Sick to the back teeth of them.

    TA: Neighbours.

    No, not the television soap (although that's also TA), but the bulb wrecker next door. I won't even... :(

    I hate when that happens. Virgin has taken over UPC now also and I can't sign in to get my bills on their shítty website.

    When you are pulling into a filling station behind another car. There are 2 free pumps in line with each other. Instead of driving past the first one to go to the far one to allow you use the first one the other car will do a crap park job at the first one making it ultra awkward for you to have to squeeze by him to reach the other pump. :mad:

    (Hope ye get the jist!!!)

    Thats terrible jack. With a little understanding you can find the perfect blend. Neighbours should be there for one another. Thats when...good neighbours...become...good friends :p

    My hairdresser is closing. I had my very first haircut with her and she really understood how I liked my hair especially because it's so big. Now I have to try and find someone new. :(

    You'd best bring a bottle of wine Colser :D

    Genuinely nice chap, but far too much "joie de vivre" for my liking. I was coming home from work the other night and he didn't seem his usual self, I was feckin' sorry I asked him afterwards was everything ok because he kept me talking for three hours, fascinating stories and all, but my ears just weren't able for it :o

    I called over to do a few small jobs on his laptop tonight, and when I came back up to have my dinner, he called me about five times to come back over and show him how to do something or other on the laptop. Each time I got home I was praying he wouldn't call again :pac:

    Now I'm sitting here with a glass of baileys and ice, and I'm hoping that's the last I've heard of him for tonight! :o

    My wife usually entertains him, and just now I asked her would she say he was attractive (thinking of the other thread), and she said "Well, he's not ugly, something about him alright"... my wife, queen of the roundabout answer, there's another TA:

    "What colour is grass?"

    "Well it's not blue!"...

    Just... :confused::(

    They'd probably be well matched tbh, now I think about it :pac:
