    "Can you call me?"

    Make call. Goes to voicemail.

    Or people who have one giant hair growing on their face (usually women and usually on a chin). Just one, like an overgrown feckin pube. I have to sit on my hands to keep from attacking them with a tweezer.

    That really bothers me too and I just keep having to stare at it all the time. Can also be a really fine, long, white hair that grows in the middle of someone's face. My OH gets them sometimes and I have to trim them whenever I notice them (he won't let me use tweezers).

    I do wonder where people like that get the energy and motivation to keep this kind of thing up. :pac:

    Lemsip, brandy and plenty hot soup.


    It's so pointless.

    I wouldn't describe myself as being pernickety or having to have things "just so". But Mother of Sweet Divinity if the child moves one of the Christmas decorations one more time, or rearranges the figures in the little crib, I'm going to lose my mind:(. Every last figurine is rammed into it, Baby Jesus included, despite the fact it's not his birthday yet. I'm twitching :(

    People who think that my shyness entitles them to speak to me like I'm a child or an idiot.

    When I'm out walking and I keep humming or singing whatever song I have stuck in my head that day and I know I look demented but I just can't stop!

    When I'm trying to sleep but my brain just won't go on standby.

    This is where a second TV with satellite feed and DVD player in another room comes into it's own. I do not do any of the "Strictly Come Benefits Out Of Here Big Brother House Got X-Factor" things, and when any of it is on in the living room for some reason I repair to the study to watch men with beards earnestly discuss spanners. :pac:

    TA that I can't figure out if I should see a doctor or a dentist.
    Pain in my jaw and teeth. Also have a headache.

    if you have some cloves handy (worth even popping to shop for them!) put them in your mouth and hold them near your gum / teeth where the pain is bad.
    Toothache can be up there with the worst pain experienced, and I found cloves better than any over the counter pain killer!

    TA at these manky, dark days

    The family get together at this time of year. Making small take about the weather with relatives you have absolutely nothing in common with. I used to work in a job with very unsociable hours and had lots of ways out of going to these events. Now I have to sit and listen to "de dark days and awful rain". And "what age are you now". A year older than what I answered you last year, and the year before, and the year before.

    The subtitles on this programme are really beginning to TA.

    As well as translating, they're explaining plot points that they think you might not understand. Such as explaining that Orwell's 1984 was banned in East Germany and your one really shouldn't have a copy. Or that the young fella doesn't understand what the other two are saying in French...

    Jaysus, give us a little bit of credit would ya?

    Tell your teacher or lecturer that you have done them. If s/he demands evidence that you have done them, explain that proof denies faith, and they'll just have to accept it on faith as evidence of things unseen. Instant A+. :P

    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.

    To add to the above: both Jesus and Joseph were chippies before Jesus got too big for his sandals (not to be confused with Mario & Luigi - the plumbers). Common misconception.

    Someone stood on my very sore toe on the bus tonight. I think it's an ingrown toenail AAARGH. Anyway, I jumped...as you do and said "Oh Jesus!", but the perpetrator of this near massacre just kept staring like a zombie into their phone.

    Trained by the SAS to not show any emotion like. Fecker.

    Haha thank you both for that! I got them done (badly) last night. Shame I didn't see these suggestions/comments!

    I'm having a day full of TA's. My cats do not appreciate me dancing around the house with them. They're no fun at all.

    Then they got giddy and knocked a cup of tea all over my laptop, a new book which was a present and some letters. I have to admit that I screamed in anger! Loudly!

    I ran out of conditioner in the shower and half way through my shower, it ran out of hot water. Yuck.

    I think I need to sleep and forget about today.

    Had to sit on the most uncomfortable chair in Tallaght Hospital for almost TWO HOURS today with my other half as he had an appointment.

    Why did they give him an 11am appointment and not see him til 1pm?

    My back was killing me and I couldn't get settled; I was afraid to go to the shop incase my other half was called in (he wanted me with him) and every other patient was called in before him.
    I left there feeling wrecked and all I'd done was wait around!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    How could I have forgotten this one last night. My stupid car! The sensor for my brake lights are gone so now my bf has to drive me to work and I've to get the train home.

    Also I have a cold and my asthma is really bad. I really hope I don't have an attack. :(

    There is nothing worse! I did it for 3 years going over and back from London. Even now I feel sick going to the airport!

    The vegetarian option at our recent work Christmas party. Starters for everyone else was a chicken Caesar salad. Starter for veggies was chicken Caesar salad minus the chicken. Main was room temperature pasta with a can of chopped veg thrown on top in a "fúck you for being awkward" kind of way

    I think I'm getting a cold.

    And it's really annoying because this time last year I had a cold that developed into a bad chest infection that was at its' worst on Christmas Day.
    I remember thinking last year: "Surely I won't get sick at Christmas next year, what are the chances?

    But I can feel my nose is getting a bit stuffed and my throat's hurting.
    :(

    I'd prefer a cold any other time of year!

    I was really looking forward to a fantastic homemade lunch today...
    but forgot about our team Christmas lunch is this afternoon!
    I hope my homemade goodness can hang on another day.

    That's exactly how I felt last Monday. Almost over it now. It's going around

    Go on the attack with vitamins and whatever else and it will be gone by Christmas Day
