wondering if you have ever tried to make little girls wear what YOU want them to in a hurry? More than TA ...and colds are from germs not being cold?

I have as it happens. And they never walk out the front door on a freezing cold day, in clothes that have all the warmth of a Kleenex tissue. If they are dressing up to go to a kids fancy dress party, they have warm coats to put on, or warm clothes to change into afterwards. Keeping your children warm on cold days, is basic good parenting.

I find that when I bring up Google in Chrome I'm defaulted to Belgium, if anyone has Virgin Media as their IP or Server this is a pain if you want to watch something on RTE player or 4OD, it says I'm geo-restricted.

My spinny office chair doesn't spin any more.

I must have slept funny because my whole body hurts and it feels like I twisted my back. So much for feeling refreshed after sleeping.

Some bastard took my parking spot!

Now, when I say it's MY spot, it's not really mine...as in it doesn't have my name on it or any thing. In fact it's for general public use, but still, it's where I always park.

TA'd that I looked at the clock EXPECTING it to be 3.55pm and it was only 11.06am

Another chunk of change paid to the Vet. 2 weeks running I've had an animal in with them. I was late to work too as a result.

I topped up my leap card yesterday at the LUAS stop (just ten euro as I'm going off work for five weeks

) but when I tried to tag on it said, "purchase needed". I was TA'd that I missed the luas that I had run for and the next one wasn't for ten minutes because presumably the driver was on a toilet break. I had to top up my card again and it was accepted the second time. What TA's me the most though (and it's very trivial) was the thought that if I hadn't had another ten euro available on my visa card, and therefore been unable to top up the second time, I would have been stranded with no credit on my leap, and no cash to buy a ticket and no phone to call my Dad to bail me out. What would I have done? I had to get to work. I'd have had no choice but to take a chance and get on the next one. No doubt there would have been an inspector who would have been delighted to issue me with a fine and no doubt my story would have fallen on deaf ears. None of this actually happened but the idea that it could have annoyed me so much.

I was watching Grand Designs on the television last night, and as usual there was some twit on it building one of these super-duper sustainable yoghurt-knitting zero-emissions passive houses. Fine and well. He's also spent £40,000 installing a huge wind-turbine. The thing must've been fifty feet tall and featured a new gearbox that promised super efficiency beyond one's wildest imaginings. Except the knobjockeys who designed the thing didn't bother calculating the correct gearing, with the result being that despite a gale blowing the generator wouldn't spin fast enough to drive a toaster. So the suppliers came and changed the gearbox. Then the turbine spun reasonably quickly, but the tower became dangerously unstable due to resonating with the rotor revolution and wobbling like crazy.

Are these people insane? "Green" my arse. How is this better, more efficient, cheaper, than just hooking up to the likes of Ardnacrusha like everyone else? This is even without considering the fact that these things are dangerous eyesores.

Trying to decide if this would be worse if she was obviously not busty or obviously busty....

The same thing happened to a colleague of mine, and the person she was emailing was... Extremely so.. to the point where she had been spoken to about appropriate work wear! Obviously the error led to much laughing on my part and much embarresment and many apologies on the part of my colleague... I don't think the email recipiant ever truley forgave her!!

Sorry to hear that

Needing to make phone calls or go into somewhere. I'll procrastinate until the last second, have to wait until I can set aside a hour or 2 and then I get it done in 10 mins.

26-02-2016 03:02PM

I have to wear a belt with these pants. I don't like wearing belts. Silly things.

Also I'm being shown an ad for "The Sporty Dog" on here and think it is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

Boys are dumb. If he pulls your pig-tails and puts sand down the back of your collar, it's his way of saying he likes you. I'm 44, and still do that to Mrs. G! :pac:

TA that one or two of the Republican US candidates is starting to look more appealing than any of the democrats.

TA that Hillary has a good chance of winning.

Bernie No.1!

When you're eating something nice but you're kind of distracted (watching tv/replying to a text) and you finish it without even noticing!

Turtyturd · 26-02-2016 03:24PM

When you use on street parking and leave enough space to ensure you and the cars either side of you can get out. Only to come back to your car to find two other drivers have parked either side of you and decided to get as close to your car as possible without actually touching it.

Couriers that dont give a shyte.

I am expecting a package so I worked from home today to be available to collect it. Nothing had arrived by 1:15 so I went to collect my daughter from school. As I'm walking out I check my postbox to see that the An Post courier has been to my house and left the green slip to say he had attempted delivery at 11:30. Which is a fcuking lie, our apartment wasnt buzzed and I was here all morning. I have to drive to the sorting office now because Postman Prat didnt bother his hole ringing my bell.

I'm with Virgin Media but that's never happened to me. In work, if I use the wifi, unless I specify Google.ie, I get Google.nl (because that's where our server is). If I use the LAN connection, I can't do stuff like the Lotto because that server is in the US.

Either way, I can't use the RTÉ player in work.

A good food snack should always go with a good TV programme. So it's even worse when you sit down with something nice to eat and you end up stuck on the ads.

Couriers that dont give a shyte...

Oh yes, I had an episode like this lately. There's a house around the corner and a couple of blocks away with a very similar address, i.e. if we're "27 Dribbling, Whichways, Penzance, Cornwall", they're "27 Whichways, Penzance, Cornwall". I was expecting a parcel a couple of months back and it got to the point where according to the tracking system it had been delivered for about four days. I reasoned it probably ended up at the other 27 - it happened before - so I contacted the courier. The lady at the courier's office grunted her assent that that might indeed have happened and I should contact the driver. Let's call him "Kevin"...

JG: Hello, am I speaking to Kevin of WeLoseStuff Couriers?

K: Yeah?

JG: Super. Now - I was expecting a parcel lately to 27 Dribbling, Whichways, Penzance, Cornwall, and I suspect it might have been delivered to 27 Whichways, Penzance, Cornwall.

K: Uuhh yeah, I s'pose. I'm new.

JG: OK - so what do we do?

K: ???

JG: Kevin, I'm trying here, I really am. You're not making it easy for me to maintain my usual mallet-headed optimism.

K: -

JG: That is to say, my goods, which I paid for with money that was mine and had to be found somewhere, are missing. You say you delivered them. I have a photograph, kindly provided by your office, of what in fairness looks very like my parcel lying on somebody else's porch.

K: Uuh yeah, like I said, I'm new here. Sure if you call up for it they'll...

JG: Shush! No no no, sending me running around in a fool after you'll made a pigs ear of things will not be happening. Now listen to me carefully - you will go and fetch my property, you will fetch it fairly lively, and you will deliver it as you were originally contracted to do. That way I might maintain my usual good humour and not get all narky and raise a fuss, including telling Jeff Bezos personally that his logistical infrastructure is all shot to shit because no-one cares about what they're doing. Do you understand?

K: Uuuh, I'll have to get on to the office.

JG: Good lad. You do just that. I shall wait with bated breath. Take it hawndy noy! <CLICK>

My parcel arrived the following morning.
