^Ugh! Or when you get your morning cereal (porridge/weetabix in particular since it's soaked in) and realise the milk is gone bad. Then you face the dilemma of throwing out your breakfast and making it again with new milk if you have it or just sucking it up and eating it in order to not waste food.

There is no dilemma. Bin.

I feel sick at the thought of someone even contemplating eating it

The following two clichés in comedy movies :

People terribly singing in the car. I gettit, meant to show how friendly and zany the characters are.. It's beyond cringey..

People going "well that went well" when situation did not go well.. It's not witty.. It's just lazy...

Rumour has it that you use champagne instead of milk. :pac:

I've been trying to write a document all day on possibly the most boring process ever. I cannot motivate myself for this.

I know the feeling. I have been known to go around the place like an anti-christ for an entire week hating the prospect of the thought of beginning to think about writing some Jaysis document or other, only for the muse to hit after the Friday morning caffeine hit and then I belt the thing out in an hour-and-a-half.

Hang on you mean it's acceptable to start a document more than 30 mins before it's due?

It can be done, yes.

It's not really to do with when it's due, my point is you really have to be in the particular humour for some things.

I find the biggest motivator to be that impending timeline. I cant start until I have barely enough time to get it done

I'm like that too. My work expands to fit the time available. And I have to have a timetable. I can't function without one because it feels like I am just studying in an abyss. I also cant study in a room that is untidy and that doesn't have all objects symmetrically aligned.I can only study on the hour or half hour, so if I plan to study at 8pm and it goes to 8:02pm, I have to wait 28 minutes to start. Can't tolerate any noise whatsoever and sometimes ear plugs are not enough. I need an electric heater beside me and if anyone interrupts me I am likely to throw something at their head.

My OH is going to Brazil for the entire month before my exams start. She's putting about 5 thousand miles between us

:P

Sometimes it's only a little gone off - unpleasant as opposed to potentially making you sick. Or sometimes there's nothing else to eat so it's eat that or starve until lunch (happened to me in work one time). That's where my dilemma came from. I wouldn't eat it if it had lumps and stank.

there is a new place on camden street called monto cafe.
Monto was on the north inner city around talbot street/Gardiner Street area.
I pass it most days .

the historical inaccuracy of the name infuriates me
I will never eat there on that basis which I know is trivial but I can't help it.

Buckingham st/Sean Mac/Gardner st/Foley st. I think Buckingham st was formerly Montgomery St = Monto. Apparently the largest red light district in Europe in its day. Who would have thunk it:D

Seeing a Nissan Micra merging onto the motorway, you just know it's gonna trundle along at half the speed limit and be a general obstacle.

Try this so, i was in the bush in Africa once and the guide got some carcass that was on the ground, put it in a can with water boiled it up, served it with some stuff he had in his kit, and we ate it, wasn't great, but survived. It seems you can boil rotten meat once, do it again, you're dead, ate the white flying ants there too, for dessert..:rolleyes:

When you open a web page to view a video, click on the video to view it and the pre-clip advert works (wait 30 seconds or so) but the video itself doesn't. First world problems!

maudgonner · 14-01-2016 08:27PM

Waiting for a file to encode before I can leave work. Computer says "Pass 1 of 2. 39 mins remaining". Does that mean 39 mins in total, or 39 mins for Pass 1, and then another 39 mins or so for Pass 2?

I want to go home

bridgettedon · 14-01-2016 09:59PM

I don't even know if this will make sense. From seeing so many posts on social media dedicated to Alan Rickman and David Bowie it actually is a bit ott. Ok so you were a fan of their work but they had many other parts to their life such as husband, brother, son, friend, neighbour. Just because you liked what they did as their job doesn't mean you actually knew them. One post had Alan Rickman's picture and saying I'm going to an exclusive Bowie concert and you are not'. Was he a fan? Do people even care if he was or not? It all seems just too over familiar, a bit tacky being honest.

Felt a bit better from my chest infection so decided to chance venturing out of the house today. Brought the shopping trolley and went shopping for ingredients to make lasagna from scratch along with other messages. Filled me trolley up and got the bus home.
By the time I got back into the house, my energy left me and I just slumped in front of my laptop and ate some cheese- couldn't be arsed making the lasagna so ended up getting Chinese takeout.
Still, making it tomorrow so it shan't go to waste! But even so, dont you just hate those short-lived bursts of energy?
Also, I had a coughing fit last night so severe that I ended up throwing up water. To add insult to injury, my granny kept giving out to me today because I'm drinking a lot of sparkling water in place of beer/spirits/etc and said "all the stuff making the fizz made me throw up". She means well but it's so annoying when she gets preachy.

Chatting a nice guy at the bar and then his annoying friend shows up! I've been cock blocked!

brummytom · 15-01-2016 12:55AM

I was in a rush to catch a train the other day. I was waiting for the tram to take me to town, but the ticket machine wasn't having any of it. As the tram approached, I thought, "fcuk it, I've never seen an inspector, I can't afford to wait for the next one, I'll just hop on."

Obviously, it's sod's law. I got hauled off the train and issued a £100 fine (it's 'not their fault if the machine's broken, I shouldn't have got on'). I know it's my fault, but the one time I try and chance it!..

We ended up dancing naked together in our underwear! Lolz

I hope you shake off the chest infection soon, they're awful. I got one last year and kept putting off going to the doctor, in the end it took 4 courses of antibiotic and the best part of 6 months before it cleared up.

The sound of power tools at 8am.

F**king politicians.

Some advisor of Charlie Haughey dies and there are tributes everywhere. A man has died and I am respectful of that. R.I.P.

However, firstly he was "a close advisor" to one of the most ruthless and corrupt politicians of our time, Charlie Haughey. Secondly, he is being referred to as a "master of the black arts of politics" - well if that's what he practised it should not be lauded as a good thing. And finally 20 or so years of politics is not "public service"... it is self service. They are extremely well paid and I cannot name one who does things for the good of the people.

There.

That's it.

I'm off for a lie down

Medusa22 · 15-01-2016 10:54AM

So annoyed with myself for eating so much rubbish yesterday, I'd been doing so well. Now
I feel fat and guilty and I knew that I would but
I did it anyway.

I finshed off all the ice cream in the house last night.
I'm annoyed that I have to go out of my way to stop at the shop later to buy more.

everlast75 · 15-01-2016 10:59AM

Go that extra bit today, exercise wise. Try work it off. If you go for a walk normally, double up and go for two.

You will feel better after the exercise and also know that you've gone some way to undo the damage

Alternatively eat even more icecream, junk and cake today. Then you will not feel so bad about yesterdays scoffathon!

Short term thinking is best!!
