    My cat is probably thinking that his name is 'Little Boll1x' at this stage. I've been in the door about an hour and must have called him a little boll1x about 30 or 40 times so far.

    Haha haha this made me laugh far too much!

    My will power when it comes to shopping absolutely kills me. I've just gone and bought more makeup that I don't need just because there was a sale... I need help :(

    An animal is not 'a thing' though.

    My cat decided to climb all over my laptop and he disabled my touchpad, it took me several minutes to figure out how to enable it again, he just doesn't want me on boards!

    It sounds a lot more impersonal than I intended.

    I own and have owned many pets... And I have had great affection for them all.. I also have 7 children and it TA's me that people can equate the 2.
    Pets are property. ... You can buy them, sell them and give them away.
    If your grown child had quintuplets you wouldn't advertise them for sale on donedeal? Or would you?

    I wouldn't sell a pet either, it wouldn't cross my mind. I'd find someone trustworthy to adopt it, but I'd never exchange money for a pet.

    Little Boll1x Part Duex by the sounds of things.


    I fired up the the oven to heat up some lasagne. I notice that there is a glorious smell in the house and couldn't figure out what it was. I figured that Mrs. Bap went nutzo on the bank card today, so there must be something stashed away somewhere that smells good.
    Open the oven as the preheat light is off and I discover the source of the scent. There are 3 of these glorious bastards in the oven

    Then the TA kicks in, I remember she said she heated them up the other day and we never took the out of the oven.

    Ok you wouldn't sell a pet you've lived with and cared for... Nor would I. But you are aware that the vast majority of pets are purchased to begin with right?

    Anyway... We aren't going to agree. That's fine. My original annoyance was people that equated their pets to children and themselves as a parent... It still stands for me. :pac:

    I've had a few vodkas at home tonight, but have now stopped drinking. A few minutes ago, I was in the kitchen. I spotted a glass with a little bit of water in the end of it, and gulped it down. NOPE.... that was vodka too. I nearly puked.

    Testing € € € € €€ €10 Euro

    Why are some peoples euro symbols showing up like this € or is it only me?

    It's really beginning to annoy me

    Euro signs show up like that in a lot of situations, and have done for eternity. It's very annoying.

    That happened to me a while back, but I was hungover and it was the next day and I thought it was a bit of water in the glass and I drank it and it was vodka, my god, the burning.

    There's a little red stain on my t-shirt on my shoulder. Too lazy to change it now.

    It's either ketchup or blood. I haven't had ketchup today, and I'm not bleeding (either are the kids).
    Will this mystery be solved.


    Fun Fact: My mother bought me the t-shirt. She was dead proud when she gave it to me, she exclaimed "IT'S MADE BY THAT RAP GUY YOU LIKE!!!!!!"

    I didn't recognise the brand of shirt or design. So I thanked her and told her she's awesome.
    Googled it, it's a Vanilla Ice t-shirt. Vanilla f*cking Ice.

    Boom Bap, consider yourself lucky she didn't buy you a pair of his trousers....

    Not a TA as such, just thinking about the whole 'The old Fiat 500 were tiny' discussion a few pages back, Minis were minuscule too and nobody seems to remember that. :)

    Took me 10 minutes to take the plastic off of my new foundation. Very irritating.

    Oh God, I remember! My Dad had a little blue mini in the 80s. It was like a can of beans on wheels the size of it:). It was just as well there was only the two of us kids.

    My annoyances today are losing what was going to be an amazing sneeze, and being very slow altogether today. I couldn't remember what a phone top up was called at the checkout in the supermarket. Then I couldn't remember how many were in the family for dinner when asking for stuff at the butchers.

    Your mother knew what she was doing... You just haven't copped on that you got trolled by your own Mammy. Brilliant. :D

    facebook, I DO NOT care if someone is interested in going to an event near me today.

    Buttevant, the quicker they by-pass this place the better. A kilometre tail back to get through a village.

    So so wrong. Loving Colser's answer!

    My bf would say "here comes the cement mixer" when I go to put makeup on. Git. I actually don't wear that much at all.

    Having strong cravings for a curry chip but with no chance of getting one, both since it's 8am and I'm in hospital. So annoying


    TA right there. If I worked in a chipper I would literally give you one solitary chip.

    Not sure whether I should post in 'Menas's happy thread' or 'trivial things that make you happy thread'. :o

    The alarm in my car keeps going off for no reason. At first I thought it was sticks being blown up the drive and that's what was setting it off. I came out of the petrol station yesterday and it was going off. So I've resorted to leaving it unlocked. At least I know it works, my last car didn't have a car alarm. Very fancy altogether, electric windows, an alarm AND power steering. :pac: That's another annoyance actually. I've nearly sprained my wrists badly twice because I've forgotten I don't need to pull on the steering wheel so much. :rolleyes:
