    When you're wearing long sleeves and washing your hands, and a single bead of water rolls under your sleeve up your arm

    Driving on country roads and caught up to a car... 152 reg... Must be afraid of her shîte to get it marked from a hedge or something.... She drove for over 4 miles perfectly straddling the middle solid white line, only moving in for oncoming cars and slightly in on bends.. All at 45/50kph on an 80 road.... I was nearly chewing my own steering wheel by the time she got off the road. :mad:

    Would you believe Kat that in the 15yrs Ive been going to my Doc Ive only once seen someone else paying and that man gave a cheque,no wonder I have to pay cash as he has no card machine.


    What!? Madness! I know what you mean about the social gathering. I think some people make up illnesses so they can go down and have a nose!

    I do it too if I don't know the road. My own road I'll fly down no bother. I hate people who flash me at night to make me go faster. People are nervous, be patient!

    Reporters asking locals for their reaction when there's a killing in the area.

    Local priest/TD... "This is a big shock to the locals. You would never expect it to happen here"

    Neighbour - "he was very quiet - lovely guy.."

    WTF do you expect them to say?

    "To be honest, I'm not surprised. They guy was an a-hole; it was only a matter of time before someone capped his ass"

    Unless they have something else to say, there's no need for this lazy journalism

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    When you're watching something on your laptop and you keep forgetting to pay attention so you keep having to rewind scenes.

    I'm the exact same, driving at night I hate it and they're all windy country roads and I dont know them at all so I go super slow and then oncoming cars dazzle me
    I pull in as much as possible to let people pass though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Not that one


    The amount of toilet roll my wife uses even for number 1s.
    cant keep the batheoom stocked up
    how trivial is that.
    My toddler went to toilet and was wrapping around 20 sheets in her fist after a squizz. When i asked why, she replied "thats what mammmy does" ( pronounced "dooos" in three year old lingo.

    I've sat behind countless drivers, impatiently waiting for a chance to pass them on all kinds of roads... But I've NEVER flashed or signalled anyone to speed up and I hate it on occasion when it happens to me. (Likely on a motorway when I'm doing the limit speed with my kids in the car)
    I know that flashing a nervous driver does nothing more than potentially make the situation turn from a frustrating one to a dangerous one.... I just wanted to clear that up. I'm not "that" guy. :D

    My thing I've noticed about my driving on country roads is that I'm actually more confident and drive faster at night... I think it's because I'm much more likely to be aware there is a car coming round the next bend due to the headlight glare or something.

    Sorry but I'm in stitches here... You really make a terrible MacGyver... :D
    I had plastic, a door opening sensor, scissors, a nail-file and a paperclip. MacGyver would've... macgyvered a bank safe opening device. I managed nothing but frustration and a broken staff card. Epic macgyvering fail. :pac:

    Savage Tyrant I know you wouldn't do that! :)

    My bf drives me mad. I'm not in school tomorrow because of my migraine so I was writing an email of work the sub can do for me. He just wouldn't leave me alone! If I interrupted him in work he'd be so mad at me. Git.

    I'm way more careful at night too, in case I come across an unexpected person or an animal. And, usually, those don't have headlights...

    Also, comments like "People in the area are trying to come to terms with..." which for most people usually consists of "Well, fancy that, who would have imagined it..." followed by them carrying on with life as per normal.

    People leaving dog poop bags hanging from trees and tied around railings at the local park , just cos they can't be arsed walking a few extra yards to put them in the bin.:rolleyes:

    The kids programme , Tree fu Tom, never have I wanted to strangle a cartoon character so much. So irritating.

    Dacia Dusters, with the big silver name thingy going across the back of them "DUSTER". In case we don't see it, like ;)

    How do you know you are on Boards too much? When you dream that you are hanging out with other posters. How sad am I :) ??

    Picking up and bagging the dog**** and having to walk two miles before you can find a bin to put in!

    Though why you would tie it to a tree is beyond me.
