So much to do that I can't get started. I am the procrastinating b1tch from hell. I really need to organise and clean my house but it's so messy that I'm lying in bed on Boards feeling sh1te about it yet still being unable to just get up and get started. Because where do I start? Ugh.:eek:

The word 'knickers' annoys me. I nearly shudder when it's used in conversation.

I'm almost certain I mentioned this last year
My forename is one which is often associated with Christmas, people say 'ah it must be your birthday soon' etc and I go nah it was a couple of months ago. The real TA is that it seems to be the same people every year.

I don't feel Christmassy yet and its 10 days away. I'm so terrified that I wont feel it and then it will be too late! I don't know whats missing. Is it the cold weather?

My cat decided to do a poo at 4am last night.

I always scoop the poop right away as I don't want the smell to linger, even if she goes in the middle of the night. I was wide awake when I got back into bed, and super tired today!

Work christmas lunch today, I am so full now! Not sure there will be much work done here this afternoon!

Artists putting out "deluxe editions" of albums they've already released just in time for Christmas. And the bonus tracks are usually crap that was left out for a reason, live performances of songs we've already heard, and well known songs they've featured on elsewhere. Go into the likes of HMV and it's everywhere.

Oh, and the ads for albums that have been out all year, trying to pass them off as new. " the incredible new album from X"

For me it's "panties". There is something so dirty old man about that word.

I've either lost a bit of a filling, or a bit of a tooth. I've a really sharp edge on one of my teeth, and I can't stop poking at it with my tongue. I have begrudgingly made a dentist appointment since I don't want to be in trouble with it over Christmas. Now I'm dreading the dentist saying my teeth need cleaning. I can't handle getting my teeth cleaned, my front ones are so sensitive I'd be nearly hopping off the chair

Going to the shop and forgetting cash, so I've to use my card for the sake of €6 odd.

Went to a school Christmas concert today. The kids have been practicing for ages, the teachers have done a deadly job, the PTA have helped out alot as well. All the kids were extremely well behaved.
It's just a f*cking shame that the parents could not avoid being d*ckheads.

This is the kids big day and what do alot of parents do? They sit there ignoring what is going on and have a f*cking chat about whether they are buying Jacobs or USA tins of biscuits for Christmas or some other boll0x. I'm not talking about the odd whisper, full blown conversations all around the place drowing out the singing. There was one group of kids that were singing away, and the 'ah jaysus howya' in front of me copped on that her child was in the group after looking at the stage midway through the first song. Does she shut her face? No. She decides to start a commentary with the people sitting beside her of what is happening on the stage in front of their faces.

Then there is the father who is excited and has his handycam out for the big day. His child is obviously not looking at him, but he does his best to get the childs attention by standing, waving, hopping, dancing (all 4 combined at one point). He also started shouting his childs name to try get his attention. Shouts mid song and distracts all the kids!

Then there are the parents who get up and walk out once their precious child has completed their bit of singing. The clapping at the end for the kids was pathentic.

Or the parents who walk up to the stage and just start snapping away with their phones taking pictures. Don't worry about the audience behind you.

This is probably more of a rage than a TA.

Only Georgie Burgess can say that!

TA that everywhere gets so busy before Christmas!
And I don't mean just for Christmas stuff / presents.... even if I want to pop anywhere / to get anything, there's queues everywhere and places all booked up :mad:
Looking forward to January already! :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.

Do you also have a cold? I had a bad toothache once, and it took me quite a while to figure out it was actually due to the pressure from blocked sinus. I was about to head for the dentist, except I was feeling too crap from the cold to drag myself there. And then I worked it out.

Weird. Woke up with that this morning. Had no feeling in teeth on top left and pain in back tooth. Then there was suddenly a noise in my ear like a drain clearing and pain went away

People who don't know how to walk with an umbrella..

OldNotWIse · 15-12-2015 04:56PM

The fact that its still Tuesday.

Jamaican Me Crazy · 15-12-2015 04:59PM

This is just a bad day. I need it to be over.
Not really a TA, more of a serious issue.

TA people being unreasonable and self righteous and not listening to me!!

OldNotWIse · 15-12-2015 05:15PM

Christmas panic. I keep thinking I don't have enough presents. And then I have to write a list of what I have, even though I know already. But writing the list makes me feel better.

KatW4 · 15-12-2015 05:21PM

On the train home again because of my bloody car.

Got great news today that I'll be staying in my school until Easter so I'm going to save (yuck) for a new car that doesn't break down every 2nd week!

Medusa22 · 15-12-2015 05:23PM

My whole face hurts, fecking sinuses

KatW4 · 15-12-2015 05:32PM

A guy on the train answers the phone, "I'm on the train half way across Ireland". We were in Clara, at the station so it's not like he couldn't look out the bloody window and check. Half way across Ireland... Lord God give me patience.

I suppose it's marginally better than "I'm down the country", the Dubs favourite:)

True! Incredibly lazy to speak like that. Ireland is not a big country and there are only a few stops along the route. It's not hard to even give a guess as to where you are!

wp_rathead · 15-12-2015 07:04PM

after buying a nice new jumper today as need one for a get together on Saturday..
...get home and realise they never removed the Ink Security Tag

Gonna have to go into town again Friday (next time im free) now just to get it removed, and I was hoping to avoid the chaos of what will be Friday night

fussyonion · 15-12-2015 07:19PM

My Dad made me a ham sandwich for lunch today and at first bite I knew the ham was gone off.
I had to slyly remove the ham from the bread without him seeing and throw it in the bin when he went to the toilet.
Do people not smell open packs of ham to check they're OK?!

Niall said the very same thing about panties the other night.

McChubbin · 15-12-2015 08:47PM

TA: Fancied a slice of Black Forest Gateux with my coffee for lunch but Thunders only sell logs for €9 or a full sized gateux for €15. If they sold individual slices, I'd buy one for meself as no-one else in the house likes cherrys/kirch in their cake and I simply can't be trusted not to eat an entire one by myself. Ended up getting a Danish pastry. T'was nice but not what I wanted.

Also, my coffee was lukewarm at best. I know they have rules on how hot takeaway coffee should be but really!

Trivially annoyed I had to google who Niall Boylan is:(. Not me !

I got an awful fright.

I was taking off my headphones after watching a programme on my tablet, when one ear smacked me right in the gob on my front tooth.
Panicked, I touched my tooth, expecting to find it gone but it wasn't. I felt it a bit to see if it was loose but it seems fine.

I was so shocked and scared I started crying, much to the bewilderment of my other half who had been snoozing on the sofa beside me.
