    Sh1tty wedding presents. 95% of them was money, which is great. But wine glasses, candle holders, casserole dishes, vases and other cap. The wine glasses from an aunt, who is loaded was just crap altogether. I don't drink wine, and she knows this too.

    There are roadwords all along the front of the estate beside mine, so they decided that anyone going along the road away from my house is diverted right (which could be a minimum of 5 minutes out of your way). Cars coming from the opposite direction (coming towards my house) are allowed, even though it's there side of the road that is being worked on. :confused: Could they not alternate the traffic, allowing one side to go for a minute or 2, and then the other side? I was on the bike so I just hopped onto the footpath (there were no pedestrians around). :D

    I prefer Culchie Day to Black Friday. :pac:

    Any time I go to visit my sister in Bandon, to get to Cork city first from Galway can be trivially annoying, roadworks at Mallow, Buttevant and outside of Buttevant are a royal pain. Whats worse is, come the Galway leg more roadworks around the Gort, Kilcolgan area.

    I have a habit of biting the skin on my lips when I'm worried. My lips are so sore today :(

    That reminds me: town planners who prioritise cars over pedestrians. We pedestrians know that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and so if you try and send us on some crazy detour to the traffic light position that suits the cars, we'll just go straight across the road instead. Put the traffic lights where the people need them, not somewhere that suits the cars.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    "Partly tempted to just get married to get all the stuff for my kitchen" from my aunt when she and her fiance moved into their first house. She was only partly joking (they'd been dating for ten years and already had two kids/ plus non-religous - great party though) it is awkward justifying buying something that serves one purpose in your kitchen (coffee press/milk whisk etc.) so why not have it as a present people will get you anyway. Why can't you get something you really want though - like a playstation :cool:

    Day two: oh Argos how I hate you. I spent two hours in the phone queue yesterday to arrange a delivery - actually two separate hour long calls - the line went dead at the end of each hour. I called at 8am this morning when you opened. I spoke to a human at 8.10am - hooray- said it was about a delivery and gave my order number but when I said I lived in Dublin, Ireland you asked if it was Belfast and then the line went dead. I am now back on the phone queue waiting. You (Argos) keep leaving me automated messages about contacting you to arrange delivery. I am really trying believe me. Please, pretty please, just let me arrange a delivery date/time and get on with life.

    Oh and god awful sinusitis. I want to cry with the pain.

    That is all. Thank you

    When two people talk to me at the same time.

    My parents do it all the time. Drives me spare. I end up not hearing what either of them are saying.

    Happens in work too. Usually when you are on the phone and someone starts talking to you. Does the big phone shaped piece of plastic stuck to the side of my face not give away the fact that I am otherwise engaged.

    And on general rudeness, when I am talking to someone and someone else interrupts to speak to them. Height of bad manners.

    We got loads of picture frames, but 95% of them were wedding themed that said 'mr and mrs' or 'Him and Her' or related to weddings specifically.

    Who da fuc wants to fill their house with dozens of pictures of their own wedding in garish frames?

    I was Joan Burton's nipple-tweaker for a few years in the Bad Old Days. I eventually left for something less psychologically damaging, like defusing IEDs with my mickey.
