    People reading way too much into tv storylines, particularly soap operas.

    Sore nose from blowing it with tissues.
    Even the softest cotton would feel like sandpaper against the red raw skin around there now :(

    Nothing worse than red raw skin from blowing your nose! A bit of vaseline on it will help :)

    My exceptionally bad Internet meant that it took a whole 28 hours to download Fallout 4.

    Yup. Welcome to 2015 in the countryside.

    I had to stay up late last night as my OH downloaded it, it took ages and of course he had to try it out as well then..

    I have a google chrome extension for my bank feed that allows me to export all my business bank transactions into my business accounts system.

    But this morning my internet banking is no longer giving me the option to export to the business accounts system. (I'd removed the plug-in and re-intstalled but no joy). There is a message on log-in saying that the internet banking system got updates overnight, so it'll likely be related.

    Don't know how I'd cope doing in my accounts without this plug-in. And annoyingly, my feeling is that if I rang the bank's telephone banking department / online chat, chances are they wouldn't know what I was talking about.

    This may end up being more than trivially annoying, time will tell, but crossing my fingers it'll fix itself.

    I don't know what I should do at lunchtime. I am trying to lose weight and I have my running gear with me, but my co-worker that was meant to be running with me didn't bring his gear. I could eat a salad but then I'll feel bad. Or I could have some drinks as I am going through some personal sh*t at the moment and that is the most appealing.


    I'll end up staying at my desk and doing nothing except post on Boards for an hour because I am incapable of making a decision.

    My advice: Base it on the TA / TH threads.

    Would you prefer after lunch to be posting in the TA or TH thread?

    If you will end up trivially annoyed by sitting at your desk all lunch, then let's avoid that :D

    Whichever of the decisions that will result in a trivial annoyance get avoided.

    Go for the one that will make you have a reason to post in the 'trivially happy' thread.

    I say if you're going through some personal sh1t, then if having some drinks helps, so be it. But that's just me.

    But yeah, I totally live my life based on TA thread vs TH thread :D:D:D

    Go to that thread that has the big red button that gets you banned when you press it. Boards problem solved!
    And seriously, if you have stuff going on in your head then a good run may do you the world of good. Exercise is so good for clearing the head.
    And you wont feel guilty!

    Smug inconsiderate parents who park their prams across the whole path expecting other pedestrians to pass by on the road.

    When you get a missed call from a number you don't recognise and you call back into their voicemail to see who it is and they haven't personalised it :(

    One for the ladies, you know when you get your eyebrows done and they always ask are you going anywhere nice or going out or going to an event or something. As in that is the only possible reason why you're getting your eyebrows done. I always feel stupid when I say: 'No I'm not doing anything they just need doing'. I get my eyebrows done when they start to get a bit wild. I don't get them done because I can't go some party or whatever with imperfect eyebrows.:rolleyes: Every bloody time I get asked it.

    The hairdresser asks me the same when I get my hair done, and it annoys me too, I think they just do it to make conversation. I always lie and pretend that I'm going out for drinks. I admit that I do feel like it is a bit of a waste when my hair looks so good and I go home and get right into my pyjamas :pac:

    I have to laugh because, ok while I don't get my eyebrows done in a salon, I'm still reminded of my granny when she said of me as a kid "never trust a man with a uni-brow" :D

    I've always just shaved the middle bit in between, to give them some separation :o

    Don't worry I'm the most un-lady ever. I should edit that to say: 'anyone who gets their eyebrows waxed.'

    Restaurants that don't have an online 'book a table' thing. Meh, I'm not going to call them, just go somewhere else then.
