This will help you get rid of the reminders for good.

Even more trivially annoyed now because I can't follow any that. Is there a geriatric version?

I'll PM you, hopefully I can help.

Breaking your nail really low down where it's still attached to skin and would be too low to clip, but it hurts like a motherf*cker if it gets caught in anything. My thumbnail is in this situation right now...it's just started to bleed a bit too

I stick it together with superglue! Works a treat and then it grows long enough to clip.

Had two glasses of wine last night and woke up with an incredible hangover. I'm 22, I should not hang like this, TA.

Narrow minded, blinkered idiots who think that the only world that exists is within their own limited bubble.

Not a TA but here goes... dratted washing machine is dead.. No light on and no one at home... Have checked the fuse box and the sockets and it is " just" the machine. Will later try changing the plug... There is no power getting to the machine even for the wee green light. If i have to call the landlord he will not be a happy man. I though the machine was new when I came here ( 3 1/2 years) but the plug looks old so maybe the fuse has gone.. I rarely use it , only for towels and sheets. Ah well! Bitter wind out there; the utility is round the side and has its own door.

Had the exact same thing happen just before Christmas, ended up having to get a new machine!
Tho we did have the power light on but it would wash for about 5 mins and then stop!

How do you manage superglue with one hand! I always end up glued to myself anyways.. they use it instead of sutures don;t they?

The fact that here is no light on encourages me! Had a look at various help sites and no one has had that problem.. When I am feeling a little better will find a spare plug and change it.. No power light at all..I was sure all NEW machines came with a fitted plug and this one looks old but this IS rural Ireland..things get used and reused. Felt VERY clever taking the electric kettle in there it check the socket! Landlord maybe got hold of a used machine..he had a fit re the fridge freezer but I forestalled him and found a second hand one locally. The old one was ancient and when I asked how old he admitted he could not put an age on it.. the ark maybe? Rentals can be like that and as long as things work, fine.

A few guys at work have had a laugh at the "Squatty Potty" trend going around this month. If you don't know what it is: (a) good for you, (b) it's the ultimate "you're doing it wrong" claim: all of us Westerners are apparently hurting ourselves by sitting on normal toilets.

There's a company that will sell you an expensive piece of plastic to help you improve your sh!tting posture. Or ... you could just lean forward. I think I know, by now, the correct method for dropping the kids off at the pool. :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with my posture when I'm 'cutting some rope' let me tell you, never even touches the sides on the way out and I curl it straight down the bowl, none of this doublecoated pebbledash with me!!!

Not sure I should post this!.. Two weeks after I left hospital early after surgery on my wrist, I heard the dog barking and when I went to a window to look, there were two strange (!) women attacking my gate as if trying to climb it. For security reasons ( including keeping my dogs safe) I keep the gate padlocked at all times and after one episode, we added a single line of barbed wire across the top. THANK GOD! I called to the women who were getting frantic to get in, fingering the barbed wire ( which they declared was dangerous!) , and when they said they were the district nurses I went down, locked the dogs in the house.. for some reason TWO WEEKS after I came home, there were checking I was .. alive?Not starved to death? Anyways they were very chatty, a great double act and started re toilet habits and how to make sure you were really EMPTY by leaning back. And there they were in the lane, demoing this! Both of them! I mean REALLY!

This reminds me of when I had my son..I didnt need to "go" for 2 weeks after but I will never ever EVER forgot the agony when eventually things started to move...worse than labour and I dont say that lightly.2 hours of not knowing if I was coming or going and a screaming newborn that I couldnt even lift out of his cot.:o

Its a mans world ,no doubt about it.:pac:

Au contraire, that is one thing I'm not full of! Needed a double flush in Trap 1 earlier, thought I was gonna have to go for the toilet brush at one stage :P

TA'd that time seems to be creeping by today and of course I'll finish work, blink my eyes and it'll be Sunday evening already :rolleyes:

Enough with the poo talk, I am trying to eat.

I've just had the most pointless row with someone over something so pathetically trivial it's not even worth the effort of going into detail, and now I'm pissed off.

Hardest thing to avoid doing that. It really is. I pretend to be deaf...;) Once you start nothing will stop it.

suicide_circus · 29-01-2016 04:27PM

Standing at the urinal doing the necessary and the man next to you is involved in a long protracted **** under the guise of a post pee shake. I mean tearing the wire off himself for 30-40 seconds, the full George Michael. Dirty bastards.

In a church for the first time in an age last night - for a removal - had to sit through two! decades of the rosary. Thought I was going to lose my mind at the repetition.

Sorry about that! I love making rosaries and sell many, and love teaching it and handling beads, but as for praying it! During Advent and Lent the old wans pray it in the cathedral after mass and it sounds like a dirge.. But you did it and in respect for the family and their loss. Well done!

By the way many of the saints and respected ones do not pray it either; remember Sr Wendy Beckett? And St Teresa....

It should be on tonight.

TA: That Mastermind and University Challenge are the only proper (i.e. without gimmicks or suspenseful music) quiz shows out there.... I love quizzes and would watch them every day!
