    Helpful people who, when handsoap is running low - half fill the dispenser with water to make it last longer.
    Then you go to put soap on your hands but instead you get a splash of water on your clothes.

    The old watery soap stains on my trousers story:eek:

    I've had three (possibly four) pay rises since 2006, but they've all been absorbed by FG's weekly salary rape. That IS b*llocks.

    I'll say one thing for Texas, they wouldn't put up with that there for five minutes, they'd burn the place.

    I am now on the same take home pay I had in 2008.

    I earn €13,000 more gross than I did then, but only now is my net pay catching up. :mad:

    Salary looks good on paper, but not in my pocket...

    And there's still people out there who think that 35k+ is a great wage.

    Even doubling it would be a tight wage when it hits your pocket! then again, it's all relative.

    Which was brought in as a temporary, emergency measure....

    Even more annoying is the double-speak like he thinks people's memories are that short -

    Taoiseach Enda Kenny told The Star that the USC is worth e4billion to the Government and won’t be done away with.


    And less than one year later, in the run up to an election -

    Enda Kenny said his manifesto will include the total abolition of the Universal Social Charge.

    Not noticed any problems the last week - certainly not compared to usual - but http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057503701&page=35 is probably a better place to ask than the trivial annoyance thread.

    Thanks, yeah I posted in there and there are others reporting issues with the site too, but I'm not sure if that's just always the case or if there has been an increase this week, so I'm just wondering if the more general boards population are experiencing the same issues..

    Watching a Norwegian film on Netflix with English subtitles.

    Still need to have volume at decent level even though I am not listening to it.

    I used to watch the Danish version of The Killing and the BBC would sometimes warn about strong language before some episodes. It was in Danish for God's sake!

    I hate the way the commentators on MOTD have obviously not been at the match, and have seen a video of the game BEFORE they commentate on it.

    e.g. "And Liverpool have not scored from their last 16 corners at home"

    "Oh my word, Skirtel has scored with a wonderful header..."

    Even poor old John Motson is at it. Not fair on Mottie.

    Beggars in supermarkets. I don't want people harassing me at my door, neither do I want to talk to someone who to offers help to pack my bag as if I am 100 years old while the checkout assistant is asking for ID!

    My favourite alms collecting reason so far was the dance group/ club that was trying to gather funds to go to New York. **** you, I would really like to go myself!

    My name isn't a hard name to spell right, yet the insurance broker added an extra letter when processing my details. I got an Axa Plus card in the post today, my name spelt wrong on the envelope , and on the bloody card.
    My three yr olds face is still tinged green from Halloween face paint. She looks quite sickly.
    It's one of those days today :(

    I got a letter from city council today which addressed me as Mr. Never forgotten.

    I am a female.this is my official file and I am now classed as a man. Ffs.

    Somewhere, a post is thanked twice. Bollocks! I know efb posted two hours ago, but all I can see is the post from nine hours ago :mad:


    EDIT: Now that I can actually see my post - also TA are these "heat pads" that feel like I have another sort of a "pad", stuck to my back :pac:
