Shane Filan's new album, it's absolute rubbish but no-one will say this.

I'd say plenty will. Absolute rubbish. I hear Nicky Button is making an album now. The track list is this.
1. How have I got away with it for so long.
2. I'll make the tea today.
3. Did you get the fig rolls
4. I used to play soccer you know.
5. It's not a band if no one can play an instrument.
6. My favourite film is P.S I Love You
7. Louie's still in the closet.
8. Why am I on the radio
9. We need tea bags and milk.
10. Just one more cover version
11. I don't know how we did it
12. They're all so gullible
13. Late Late show again
14. My kids have dogs names.
15. Keep smiling.

Trying to have a cigarette and my hair keeps blowing around my face.
I must have singed the ends of my hair half a dozen times.

That car ad, for Kia I think. The new car has a remote tailgate release, which is great. But the ad shows them poor plebs that have the manual type and it's all such a big hassle to open the boot thing. One poor woman has some parcels in one hand and a dog of a leash in the other, and she can't for the life of her figure out just how she is going to open the tailgate! If only she had a Kia all of life's problems would be solved. If you are that dopey, that you cannot figure out how to get in to your own car because you are carrying a couple of bags, you should not be allowed have a driving licence!

Although I have some time off work today it's cold and miserable outside and I have to hang around 'cos I expecting/hoping a UPS driver will collect my too big for me shoes

AND I'm about to part with a pretty hefty sum to renew my car insurance, I really begrudge them that money!

Proper Tailgate people do not struggle with dog-leashes and shopping bags like the common Yeomanry. Proper Tailgate people use proper Range Rovers (none of this "Sport" or "Vogue" David-Beckham's-nutpurse bullshine) with proper tailgates, which as evry fule no is utilised by sitting on it cross-legged with a glass of Pimms in the hand and a rather elegant old Purdey broken over-the-shoulder.

Same goes for Seat, lane assist. If you need the car to beep at you because you are wandering out of the lane, you should not be behind the wheel of a car.

There they are still, drifting around on some pre-historic autopilot routine deep in the hippocampus, mouths open like the nose of an F-86 Sabre, one barely-formed thought echoing continuously - "Food! Fooood!!". Who do the bastards think they are, me?? :pac:

I'm more like something out of Jurassic Park when it comes to tidbits left around the office. Hence my completely unreasonable and disproportionate annoyance when the other folks eat it all.

I beginning to think that my choice of 'Ivory' (la de dah for a kind of off white) for my car seats was not one of my better decisions.

the amount of people on here starting sentences with *so* - it bugs the bejaysis out of me.......

Boom_Bap · 11-12-2015 02:49PM

so I'm just back from a run at lunchtime. Someone spilled talc all over the floor of the shower room. My footprints are all over the building now. But soooo soft and they smell like a babies arse.

Secondly, the stabbing pain in my calf muscle. That aint right.

The opening word of this post was intentional.

Someone did this at my mums house. She used the letter box and when my sister opened the door, the girl was standing there with the letterbox in her hand! Now it bangs even with the slightest of breezes. Very annoying.

Office chips scavengers. It's Friday and you fancy a takeaway. You announce you are heading to the chipper. You politely ask if anyone would like anything brought back. Everyone says no. Then you arrive back with your burger and chips. Next thing a scene from the Walking Dead is recreated, with hands everywhere scavenging through your bag of chips. In the last place I worked, we'd buy an extra "scavenger bag" of chips for people who were not interested in doing anything but dipping

You should just fake sneeze into the bag when you open it.

I've never driven into the city centre in my 7 years of driving.

I've never had to; my other half does most of the driving and if I need to go to town, I usually take the bus or Luas.
But today I ended up there and Jesus Christ it's bedlam.

I wanted to pop into a place on Cork Street but I missed my turn and ended up at Patrick's Cathedral.

Not being au fait with all the different side streets and turns, I was starting to panic and ended up driving down Dame Street before being able to turn quickly at the Mansion House.
Then I made my way back to Cork Street.

The traffic was absolutely appalling; people moving an inch forward at a time and it didn't help that I've had a new clutch put in so I'm trying to get used to it.

I was sweating and my back was killing me and it took me nearly an hour to get to Tallaght.
I'm home now and I'm never driving through town ever again.

Im just in the door and after doing a detour through 6 traffic lights rather than go through "the magic roundabout" at this hour.Ive already done it once today and its a complete joke as no one (except me;))knows where theyre fcuking going.I havent time to get out and kill the person that would probably hit my car as Im busy today so I went the long way around and still met every kind of a muppet on the road.

Those reindeer ****e on cars :mad: and if its a man driving them:mad::mad::mad:

I was going to post about the reindeer decorations on cars as well. They annoy me more each year. One of my neighbours has ones that are bigger than the 'normal' ones, and even uglier!
