    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

    You can do it. It will look good for the first day. But once it starts getting dirty it will look real dirty. Much easier to put the effort in now and paint it with a gloss paint and then easy clean thereafter!

    What he said.
    It will look bad and need re-painting much sooner.

    Spank you!

    Trivially annoyed that I don't know whether I could just get away with sanding and applying the satinwood or if I need to do a coat of primer/undercoat!

    The news that a truck has overturned on the M50 and there are major delays, and the snide comments that people rush to post underneath. Things like, "oh well maybe some potholes will be filled" and then idiots trying to be funny saying things like, "how come no trucks carrying porn mags ever overturn". Then there are the people who only think about themselves and whinge about how the trucks insurance company should pay out for the "inconvenience" caused to drivers. The driver is in hospital ffs, and you are not going to recover for "inconvenience", how would that even work? All of a sudden everyone in Ireland will have been on the M50 at the material time.

    Fúckin grumps and g**bags is all they are. Try taking the luas to work and you'll see what inconvenience is. If we were to be compensated for every inconvenience, I wouldn't have to work anymore!

    I saw 5 161 cars on the way home from school but there was no one in the car with me that I could punch. :(

    People who pass me out either just before I go onto a roundabout, or just after I've come off one.

    I am so tired after school that I have to have a nap but then I feel even worse! Ughhh.

    Urgh yes this so much! I don't care who "they" are. I don't care what "they" say. Fúckin nanny state. And we know what it is of course, because nothing in Ireland happens without an agenda. This is all a prelude to a tax on sugar.

    If I am never seen again it is because I am at the bottom of the Liffey clutching a tub of polyfilla. Jesus that stuff has me broken. My walls now look worse than they did before I let loose on them. Splitting up with my partner and having to now be responsible for all diy in my house is a right TA!!

    I got stuff in B&Q it was a joy to work with, smoother than polyfilla, made by Diall, and can sand it easier to, but the rain came thru my feckin walls and ruined it all 2 weeks ago.:mad:

    That sensation when you don't think a tablet has gone down.
    I feel it's stuck in my throat and although it is probably gone, that feeling is still there.

    Making meatballs for dinner.
    It's one of my favourite meals but Jesus it's tedious...rolling mince for what feels like an hour.
    I always feel annoyed when they get cut up once on the dinner plate but obviously they have to! :)

    Very tempting just to paint them though. A couple of years ago I did all the gloss work on the skirting boards and bannisters since my husband was doing the painting, seemed like a good idea before I started, but by the time I'd done the sanding the novelty had worn off. It'll need doing again this year too.

    Feckin' PayPal won't let me add my new 3 Moneycard to my account. I keep getting a "the bank that issued this card had not authorised this transaction"-type messages. Eh, I'm only updating my info FFS! Very annoying.
    I also have a chest infection. Every time I cough, it feels like my lungs are in a vice grip. :(
    Lastly, my mother has wired into my lump of Canamzola. I don't share food! :mad:

    I spend 10 minutes inputting all my personal details to get an online quote for car Insurance from AIG. I am then asked to ring them as they are unable to offer me a quote. Tossers.

    everyone in my house has now got the stomach bug after one of them brought it home. everyone except me. hours of vomiting and smelly bathrooms later, im now wondering if ill get it myself or will I successfully dodge it. i ****ing hate vomiting. i hate the anticipation where you know you're gonna be sick, its just a matter of when.


    I did indeed get the bug and puked all over the bed and laptop last night, I knew as I lay down to sleep that something wasn't right. i managed to use a bin for most of it but also destroyed my duvet. i was in so much shock i couldn't talk properly, felt like a tit. its a rotten, rotten thing to get. i was like a dog that needed putting down. im ok now though.

    also, i bought a pair of shoes recently in my size and even tried them on in the shop walking up and down in them, they felt fine. i wore them out for the first time last week and they cut the ankles off me. the back of my right ankle has been cut to the point of scabbing over. wore them out again today and it just hurt the whole way. they felt fine in the shop! i cant bring them back now as its too late, and id be too embarrassed anyway. i want to just stop wearing them and just use my old ones, maybe sell them. its a shame because they're nice shoes.

    when using google earth.

    you want some specific address like say, hill avenue, main street cork.

    so you look for something like say ....main street cork.


    zooooom google earth brings you to main street cork - wonderful. fantastic invention.

    so now you just need to lower it down to hill avenue.

    you type in 'hill avenue'. enter.




    zoooooooooom out.

    ........zoooooooooom in.

    hill avenue, abawenge province Tanzania.

    I can live with that, but when they start calling technicians "engineers", that's ... bad.

    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.

    I lost my passport so I've got to submit a first time applicant form for a new one and that means providing my birth cert, marriage cert, proof of name, proof of address and photo id as well as 4 passport photos, and it has to be stamped and witnessed at a garda station. Dafuq?, yet over a million people force there way through Europe with no documentation and that's fine? Something seriously f ucking wrong.

    Tarantino's "wordy" three hours long films with mostly talk and a bit of violence. I'm so sick of his films. All over-acted. And add it it that overrated shouting douchebag Samuel L Jackson, the worst actor I have ever seen.
