I am sick of the General election already...and it has not yet been called.

But I must remind myself to make a list of things to give out to each of the candidates knocking on my door. The hoors wont be getting off scot free this time!

rosie16 · 11-01-2016 05:50PM

I can see my breath when I breathe out, maybe I should put on the heating. :eek: I'm not as cold as earlier though, I'd to drink tea to get warm.

That is annoying. Lidl and Aldi seem to be pretty good at that too.

TA that whenever I enter such a store but they don't have what I need and then I need to leave, I feel like a robber by-passing the checkouts and leaving without anything... just waiting for security to shout 'Hey!! STOP!!' before me sprinting off...

You're not alone! I do this all of the time. It's a horrible feeling.

Sorry Medusa, I finally got to sleep, only to wake up every hour. Typical.

Work went great today, kids were calm, they were sensible about our toilet situation but the heating wasn't working. My hands were numb and even though I've been home an hour, I can't warm up.

Anxious, can't sleep, can't shake this feeling of dread.

I hate that. It's worse when alcohol has done it to you. Demons.

I've often been awake in the middle of the night, thinking of some imaginary SAP problem from work. Even though I'm awake, every 10 minutes this imaginary problems pops into my head. Again and again. After no sleep, I go in to work, and there's no SAP problem (except me being the sap!).

Opportunism in politics.

Tonight I was listening to a report of how Ireland/the Gov is going to house the 4000 refugees we agreed to accept over the next 2 years.

When a problem like this arises, certain parties use it as a stick to beat the current regime. "You have to take these poor people in", "We aren't taking in enough", "We need to do more". And indeed members of the public are the same (then some of the very same people shortly afterwards are on complaining about refugees being put in their town).

Next comes the time when the opposition then moan about the Gov having no plans to house these poor people, they say its all going too slow, not enough effort is being made etc etc.

So the Gov make an effort to house them, put them in certain places, much much better than being in a war zone. But whatever facilities the Gov gives them, again not good enough. Its nothing but direct provision.

So then once the Gov are spending money they ain't got housing these folk, the opposition will launch an attack on the increasing number of Irish homeless, and say the Gov isn't doing enough, spending enough money on them.

For me, this is a low form of politics. If they were in charge, it would happen exactly the same way, but when you are in opposition, its easy to say you could do better.

I seriously despise that feeling!

That stupid Leo Dicaprio and Lady Gaga video. At first when I saw the story outlining what happened I thought jesus get a life. This happens millions of times the world over everyday. Then I saw how much coverage it was getting so thought there must be something more. There isn't. Don't waste your time looking at it. I can see how people despair at this celebrity obsessive culture we live in.

TA that I have no idea what you are talking about, but that I am curious now.

People who use "@ instead of at" in normal sentences.
What's the point? You have to press two keys either way!

OldNotWIse · 12-01-2016 01:37PM

I've exams in two months so I'm starting to feel the fear and I need somewhere quiet to study. It is near on impossible to do this in the house because of other people's selfishness and inconsiderate ways. Living in a bungalow, there is constantly someone walking up and down the hall (and tiled floor means feet make more noise!). My brother (who expects quiet during the day when he is sleeping) makes a hell of a racket going out to work at night. My father is nearly deaf so the TV is always blaring and then there's my mother who keeps running into the study to fill me in on the latest fad fúcking theory "they" have come up with now wrt nutrition. Last night was a classic. She came running in, "Can I ask you something?!" and I nearly had a coronary event as I flicked through the files in my head trying to figure out what she was going to come out with. Then she says, "how much sugar would YOU say there is in a slice of bread?" -What. The . Fúck.

She was watching some program about sugar in food and how we are all getting fat etc. Like, I'm trying to study here! Go away! I don't care how much sugar is in a slice of bread!

Then the OH comes home early from the gym and expects me to keep her entertained. She's up early for work the next day so makes sure to put the light on and spend fúcking aaaages getting ready while I try to sleep.

Shopping list for today: ear plugs, new house

I think I need to get my hair cut. it's so knotty after showers that I end up pulling a load of hair out. I'm afraid I'll get a bald patch if I pull any more hair out. :eek: That's not my trivial annoyance. The hairdresser I've being going to (albeit once a year) put up their prices. The last few times they've done living social deals, wash, cut and blowdry for 30 quid, happy days. They haven't had any offers the last few months. I think I'll have to go to another hairdresser, I'm scared, :pac: ha. It's not like they gave me an amazing haircut it's just the fact they leave you alone and don't try to make stupid small chat is what I liked about them.

When travelling along in my car and I approach a queue on the road. I can see for about 2 miles ahead and the car in front has his hazzards on to 'warn' me of the queue i am about to join. Eh... I can see there is a queue already!!!. What really annoys me is when I am behind him he continues to leave his hazzards flashing!
Fuk off, I can see you I can see the queue. There is nothing cool about having your hazzards flashing.

Medusa22 · 12-01-2016 03:03PM

I really need to get my fringe cut, it's in my eyes now, I'm like a dog that is overdue a trip to the groomer.

eisenberg1 · 12-01-2016 03:04PM

^^

I do that, but I don't leave them on. I assume the person who joins the queue behind me will turn their hazards in to warn traffic behind them.

Makes sense to me. It's a safety thing. I only do it on motorways where people might not be expecting stopped traffic

Others might not be as attentive as you and the hazards can stop an accident.

Fair enough he should turn his off when you pull up and you should turn yours on.

Yes! Especially if I might come up behind you quickly but when you can see miles ahead, brake lights are enough
When I am behind you turn them off!

I really need to trim my moustache, every time I'm eating something it feels like I have a mouthful of feathers as I'm chewing on my whiskers :pac::pac::pac:

I'm in the same furry boat. I'm thinking of getting rid of all the beard. You'd think that on these cold mornings it would be a benefit. Not if you don't try it properly and step outside.

Keep it until the weekend. If the more dramatic weather forecasts are to be believed then this will be your beard.

jennyhayes123 · 12-01-2016 03:41PM

Lazy people who park in parent and baby spaces. I don't know if I'm more annoyed at the lazy b***ch for doing it or me not having the balls to say it to her

Exactly. That's what Park-Anywhere lights are actually for, believe it or not. :pac:

Nobody has less better things to be doing with their lives than "Internet" people. That explains why you see so much of this crap all over the net. It's like people who have nothing better to do than spray graffiti everywhere. The place gets covered in the crap.

You can't get rid of the beard! Beards are sexy as hell (unless you have a big pube beard, then get rid, get rid!)

I hate travelling on public transport. Today's highlights, on the same bus, were the 2 American tourists who kept their rucksacks on while getting on and off the bus, not a single feck given about battering other passengers with them. The middle-aged man who sat staring at me for a minute and who then had a good root around in each of his nostrils before bringing his finger up to his nose so that he could thoroughly inspect the fruits of his excavations really took the biscuit though. I always feel like I need a shower after being on a bus.

Vel · 12-01-2016 04:41PM

Trivially annoyed that I don't know whether I could get away with painting my skirting boards and doors with matte emulsion instead of satinwood/gloss and searching the internet is giving me conflicting answers.

If only there was a fellow TA'er who might be able to give me advice but I'm ta'd that there probably isn't

:D
