    I'm in a very quiet doctor's waiting room. Didn't have breakfast this morning.

    My tummy is making soooo much noise! :o

    In my head I see the great Ron Burgundy, in one of his classics, talking to a maid and says (in an aul Mr Brennan voice) "here love, blow the dust offa dat will ya":D

    It's Ron Jeremy, RON JEREMY!!!:mad:

    Ron Burgundy is Anchorman, Jesus. TA'd that I mixed them up. This hit me last night when one of the TV station mentioned that Anchorman was on some night this week. I am taking the rest if the week off.

    Motorists who think a little apologetic wave makes up for the fact they nearly knocked you over while they drive through a pedestrian crossing.

    It might not be too bad, what did you sing?

    Hey while we're on the subject - pedestrians who press button in the process of crossing at a junction, irrespective of the consequences of leaving the frustrated motorist to sit there while the green man observes an empty pedestrian crossing and the culprit is sauntering away down the road oblivious to all of this.

    I used to think like this. Used to really annoy me when people would press the button and cross before the lights.

    Then I figured if the pedestrian waited for the green light you'd be sitting there anyway so there's no difference

    And little sh!ts who press it when they get to the opposite side.

    Love Shack. It was terrible. I'm just getting flashbacks of myself dancing as well during the performance.

    He was actually mentioned last night along with the infamous Amex Black Card incident.



    Another TA, I used to like wearing a suit the odd time. Now they just annoy the heck out of me when I have to wear them.

    Hey that Amex incident was above board. We definitely chanced our arm but we got the approval.

    As much as suits annoy you I'd say you still looked amazing :cool:

    I was cycling around a roundabout recently.. pretty damned visible and signalling correctly to show which way I was going, going straight and taking the third exit, when an idiotic old man turns in from the second exit (while I'm passing him) and almost clips me. If I hadn't sped up when I saw what was happening, he would have absolutely knocked me over. Idiot was actually staring right at me as he did it. Load of people saw it happen and a few looked at him really shocked - I threw back some hand signals saying, "what the f*ck?!", of course.

    I'm awful at describing it -

    On this animated gif - I was going the same way as the green car from the top and going to the right, he would have been the red car going from the top to the left. Just as I passed him is when he almost clipped me.

    Doing my christmas cards now. I have had to knock two people off the list as they died in 2015. :(

    I got two things in the post yesterday:

    Firstly, a Christmas card, meaning that I'll have to send one in return, and possibly more when I see the deluge of them that will await me today (because I'm so popular). I mentioned it as previous annoyance, but the person I got this card from is a neighbour (and a relative) who live 19 houses away from me.

    Secondly, I got a letter from ComReg threatening to fine me €5000 because I bought a €30 GPS tracker on eBay which was seized by Customs. It doesn't have a 'CE' sticker on it.

    "BOO-URNS!!" to the lot of them!

    Roadworks near my office.. DDDRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! for the entire day. At least it's Friday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭xLisaBx


    Got an iPhone 5 for christmas, happy days. Had to order a smaller sim for it, so that will be here in a few days. Sounds grand, I thought I could use the phone for a few days without the sim, getting apps and stuff. Apparently not! So annoyed :(

    I have PMS and I'm feeling all narky and if someone said the wrong thing to me I think I would bawl my eyes out.
    I'm going to make a cuppa and have chocolate.
    Then all will be well.

    Manic day today buying KK pressies for work. Got them all sorted and ran out to the car... drove up towards the gate and then realised I forgot to validate the ticket. Had to park the car, run over, run back, hope into car and then back to work :/

    I was walking this morning and just as I licked my lips (I have a serious lip-licking habit) a manky drop of water dripped off the edge of a gutter right onto the tip of my tongue.

    Guilty! Even more so when the reason you are far away is that the motorist stopped to let you cross as you were pressing the button and got caught by the light....

    Just like to say a Merry Xmas to all the aul ones of Dublin who stop for a chat at the entrance to LIDL and tesco.

    To the good shoppers who bring enormous rucksacks - like they intend to trek across the arctic - out shopping, and clip everyone after turning around to get some milk. Fair play.

    Its the time of year to get as much done as quickly as possible and not give a fook about anyone who gets in the way. And once you have all sh*t done at record speed, it will be time to wish it was all over, whilst wallowing in self-pity after checking the weighing scales.

    :pac:
