    Something I saw a few times over the weekend at a bar/restaurant and out with a gang. People covering their food in salt before tasting it.

    Basically a few of the patrons ordered food. A brunch of sorts- mostly fry ups. Now, without even tasting it two of them just grabbed the salt and spent a good 4-5 seconds sprinkling salt all over the food...without even tasting it. I mean how badly do you want to die? It was a fry up which is 90% salt anyway.

    My other half's brother in law does that. Drives her up the wall, especially if it's something she has cooked.

    It was a full flight or I would have!
    We were half way through an hour long flight from the UK when she did it, and I don't think waiting another 30 minutes till we landed would have made a big difference to the baby.
    He was very placid & not in distress or uncomfortable so its not like she needed to do it urgently.

    The whole cabin stank to the high heavens for the remainder of the flight. Never again!!

    What she did was disgusting but leaving baby in shítty nappy for another half hour wouldn't be right either. It would eat the ar$e off the poor little fella. My own baby is teething and her nappies are horrific. Even a few minutes in a dirty nappy has her bum red raw.

    ta not sure how to find the right forum for a question . If it's ok to ask here.. I'm curious about something that might fit into a category like psychology or personal issues but it's only a general query...like ,can anyone explain what this feels like and how they experience it, kind of thing...is there anywhere suitable to ask about this on Boards ?

    I do know Google is there but I've already read the academic stuff...


    Basically, the subject is''emotional detachment ''

    TA when I sit on my hair

    The ends dip into my tea

    and a long strand plasters itself to one of my eyeballs

    And ta other long haired people being knob-ish about ''specialist care by long hair expert Vidal Baboon at salon swankypants''. spare me.

    The secret to long hair is...don't cut it.

    Midget bites.

    I've never been bitten by a dwarf or suchlike, but have been bitten ferociously by midges, very annoying, especially the next day when the bites itch like mad. :(

    The shaving brush I used this morning smelled like a damp dog, (or should that be badger) and I imagine I can still get it.

    I was looking for a quiet morning when leaving the house. Fed the cats before they went apesh*t me-owing, fed the dog before she started fighting with the cats, put her out in the garden for a slash. Let the cats out the other side of the house.
    All calm, all good.


    I let the dog back in, she flew past me, up the stairs and woke everyone else up.
    Goodbye peaceful morning of coffee and Cheerio's.

    Was watching Thronecast last night where a panel of guests discuss Game of Thrones.

    Dara OBrian was on....my God he was talking at about 20 words a second and made no sense whatsoever.

    When we have bright days and we are both out all day, we turn the heat off.
    The switch comes in two parts, a set of light switches and a terminal with a black switch that says something like, constant, off, intermittent.

    Flat mate turns the light switches off and I use the black switch, he knows that the light switch set up confuses me with my combined memory and dyspraxic issues, yet he gives out to me for turning the heat off using the black switch and cops an attitude when I try to turn it back on using the light switch set up.

    I cant change and he won't, somehow this is all my fault. tatatatatat

    Forgetting to bring a euro for the supermarket trolley. I've probably posted about this before but it doesn't get any less (trivially) annoying...

    Pro tip - The round end of a key works in many trolleys if you don't have a coin.

    Put a corn ring pad over it . It cushions the wound

    This is the posh version, PR.

    Blister plasters or hydrocolloid dressings would work wonders, too. :)

    A funny little man told me I should not wear black tights with a red backseam to meet with a solicitor today . Beneath a skirt past my knees. ''Dress like a grey mouse'' he said .

    As it happened , the solicitor's skirt was shorter than my underwear .

    Reminds me of being in hospital a few years ago . I was under the care of Dr So and So . I had this vision of an older man in a pinstripe suit
    Dr So and So turned out to be a young female dressed in biker leathers and with scarlet lipstick and a spikey haircut !
