    A basin of hot water with a bit of something nice thrown in might give you some relief Tom.

    A good shake of Epsom salts in the basin of warm water is the job for sore feet :)

    Was on a Ryanair flight recently and while walking to the gate was almost knocked over by this clown rushing past. So I arrive at the gate and see the same gob****e sitting in seat number one of the priority line, I smiled at him a shook my head.

    Then as we were boarding this young couple came running down the priority lane that was empty at this stage and jumped the normal que. Aboard the plane and the boyfriend heads straight for the emergency exit and asks the stewardess can he and his girlfriend sit there, she kindly asks him to return to his seat but he stays there telling the stewardess no I'll stay here to make sure no one else sits here.

    Well then you need to be prepared for the future fallon. Little bottles around your house. One beside the couch, one beside the bed, one at your front door and one outside the bathroom door in case you don't make it :p

    TA at people who don't dress their kids in clothes, appropriate for really cold winter. Over the weekend, I must have seen 4 or 5 little girls, dressed up in their Princess Whatsherface from Frozen dresses. Dresses made from the cheapest of cheap, paper thin satin. Absolutely zero warmth in them.

    But there they were, out and about in the garden centres and shopping centres. No doubt, they all went into school on Monday morning, with roaring head colds and God knows what else......infecting their teachers and other kids, who then pass their doses onto their parents and siblings. It's very irresponsible and selfish imo.

    I have a sister who is a single parent to two young kids. If she catches a dose from them, it's sheer misery just going thru the daily grind, all on her own, with no help from anyone. And all because some selfish twat can't say no to his or her little darling, who wants to be a Princess for the day !

    PUT SOME PROPER CLOTHES ON YOUR CHILDREN PEOPLE. IT'S FEBRUARY FFS !!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I see this a lot and eventually came to the conclusion that a lot of people just can't figure out how to dress themselves. Not just aesthetically, but practically also. 25 degree heatwave in the middle of July? Tshirt, jeans and hoody. -2 degrees in January? Tshirt, jeans and hoody.

    Oooh... I'm one of those! I usually add a few extra t-shirts when it's - something though!

    Seriously considering going into work & leave a bit earlier ( if that will happen)

    Happened to me twice in the last few nights. painful as hell!

    TA: Stomach sort your sh1t, you can't be hungry already! :rolleyes:

    Perhaps it's not trivial, but, why the hell does it always seem that when in a relationship people seem to hit on you more often than single? Do I just keep convincing myself that women are flirting with me more when I have a girlfriend? Am I secreting some weird hormones or something? What is it and why won't it stop!?

    That's me. Unless it's extreme heat or cold I don't feel it. Wife always gives out to me for not wearing scarf or jacket


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    I keep waking up feeling like shít. It's like low level nausea every single morning. Even more TA is that I am drinking an awful lot less than I used to - max two night a week, yet still feel like this. I was expecting to feel amazing and cartwheel out of bed each day :(

    It's probably because when you're single you're often actively looking for someone but when you're in a relationship you're not looking and people can just pick up on the fact that you don't seem interested, which makes you all the more interesting.

    People want what they can't have.

    Once in a while I give the kids a treat and they sometimes ask for KFC. This fills me with dread not just because the 'food' is a very liberal description but the sheer torture of ordering it. Why do the staff think my orders are just clues on some sort of bizarre KFC sudoko-like game? I ask for various burgers and chips with or without sauces but this is not enough for the staff. Instead they tell me I should be getting the Junior Box Snack or the Super Humdinger Zinger Pox Box, I will get everything I asked for except the burgers but I will get chicken tenders and chicken popcorn (???) instead and some large sugary iced water that I didn't want either.They then offer helpfully that this will cost €1 less.

    I look at my children for a clue as to what is going on assuming they are experts at this; they look blankly back at me as the responsible adult. I can feel the eyes of the queue behind me burning into the back of my head as they assume I am some moron who doesn't know what he wants which was exactly what I was doing when I was in their position. In the end I always give up and take whatever bizarre mix of snack boxes and pox boxes I have been offered and I smile weakly at the kids as we try to divvy it out. Oh yeah, hungry pissed-off kids are really good at compromising.

    I presume it is just some way of up-selling and KFC think this is a bit of a lark. But here's the thing, whenever the kids suggest it, I remind them of the "you-don't-want-that-you really-want-this" ritual. Occasionally they win out and we hope that we will get an English speaking staff member for once but generally I win and we go for a pizza instead. So KFC, please stuff your up-selling where the sun don't shine or may, just maybe, consider giving the customer what they actually order.
