How embarrassing for me

I could have sworn it was a Cork accent, anyway, never mind, nothing to see here, move along folks...

So I posted in another forum for some advice/feedback and I pop back to see if I got any help.

Sadly, it turns out I didn't but my post gets thanked and I'm now like

Perhaps it was someone who had the same problem as yourself, and were glad they didn't have to post the question themselves? Maybe just plain old sympathy for your predicament? Ok, I think I've just run out of semi-logical explanations.

I see what you're saying but normally people will parrot what you said or quote it, just to push home the point & get some help. Thanking it just causes confusion.

I know, I was just clutching at straws... Here, let me thank your post, that'll help. :pac:

I love corned beef.

I love potato salad.

So I thought a corned beef and potato salad sandwich would be delicious.

I was wrong

I took one bite, and the minute it entered my mouth, I knew something was wrong, straight back out again. I've tasted a lot of things in my time, but that particular combination was one I won't be trying again, and now I'm hanging for a decent sandwich :mad:

You were. You want the corned-beef and potato salad on a plate with a dollop of English mustard, and your brown bread on a side-plate. You attack the resulting edifice with a knife-and-fork. Think of it as a reverse-sandwich-autopsy. You're welcome!

Just got another Billigí Waterahooraha na hÉireann there this morning. I've been completely ignoring them from the outset - I have no idea who these people are, for all I know they're Nigerian 419-artists - but I am looking forward to when they get really hysterical sometime next year, and I'll pull the chequebook and tease them with it like a dopey labrador with a dog-biscuit! :pac::pac::pac:

I got another one today also..They now come to "The Occupant" as someone rang them last year and told them Id moved out;) At least now they cant go to payroll like the LPT crowd have done. No doubt this will bite me on the ass at some stage but until the USC is abolished (not just reduced) Im paying nowt to anyone.

I surrendered on the LPT when Revenue took it over. I know when I'm done, I can't fight a Revenue ED-209! :pac:

I'll probably be bate and leathered into paying this eventually - when they get around to garnisheeing my payslip I'll probably pay whatever is owed then, in hundredweight sacks of five cent coins. And that's the way I'll be doing it every year - after it's cost them the maximum in money and stress, and not before. As my father would have said, "the fcukers will wear two sets of tyres collecting it!"

Our canteen at work doesn't have any soup spoons and I keep forgetting to bring one in with me, so every time I have soup for lunch I look like an idiot using a dessert spoon.

Any canteen I've been in, no-one would notice if you were using a garden trowel! :pac:

This is another TA of mine, the way some in the popular meeja have pulled the rather impressive stroke of equating in people's minds not wanting to hand over any more of my money for Denis O'Brien's new conservatory or new Art Deco lamposts for Temple Bar with being some sort of a "Leftie". I can assure everyone here that I am the right-wing, free-for-all asshole your mother warned you about.

Doing a 14 hr shift... And the guy that is in to let me away rolls in the gate 40 minutes late.... No apology or anything.
Doing another 14 hr shift tonight... Who's letting me away in the morning? Yup, same cûnt.

Fat Christy · 18-11-2015 11:15PM

People that can't spell and people that constantly write in text speak. I just can't be dealing with it. The odd mistake here and there okay, but the same word misspelled over and over, stop! It's enough to drive me over the edge. *twitches*

Washing my hair every day and trying to keep it dyed and straight and cut. Why fcking bother? Sick of it and if I don't wash it, it gets all itchy and greasy. So much hassle over nawthin.

XplaygirlX · 19-11-2015 03:27AM

I can never get the messy bun right in me hair and my hair is really long which I obviously love but I love it in a messy bun and can never seem to get it right despite looking on utube

mckar · 19-11-2015 03:47AM

That Votomatic.ie just told me I'm a "hardcore Renua supporter"

I tried this twice, first got social democrats but felt maybe I moved the slider a bit too much. The second time I got Fianna Fail. I'm off to take myself off the register so Im not at risk of voting for FF.

it gets itchy and greasy because you wash it so often. the best thing you can do is switch to every 2-3 days and just put up with the nasty feeling of it as your hair adjusts to the new regime

aaronjumper · 19-11-2015 09:32AM

People that can't take a complement (1) at all, or (2) at face value.
(1) They say you're wrong or need new eyes.
(2) Think you have an ulterior motive "What do you want?"

I was just being nice, won't make that mistake again.
