Very trivial indeed, but my hubby's love for Game of Thrones. He's set his alarm for 1:30 am, because the show returns at 2am tonight/this morning. He gets up at five am for work, ffs.

But I love the bones of him, so I'll let this pass....as long as he doesn't wake me. :pac:

:eek: Who knew... I love the bones of you is a bigamist!! :eek::eek: Does poor Fartie know?!?

Bad mannered horses. Usually I'm on the way to work by now so don't hear it, but the last couple of weeks I've noticed there are a few door kickers in the yard outside my house.

Do they not know I'm trying to sleep??? :pac:

Attention seekers on Facebook who spell their name in Irish just to stand out from the crowd.
Ffs you haven’t a word of Irish and you probably had to use google to spell your name in Irish but carry on please.

I used to think the same, but apparently it's generally people who don't want colleagues or bosses etc checking out their FB stuff.

I had a far fetched fb name , it was an in-joke with friends but would've looked delusional to others ...(alt. models and burlesque dancers , etc, do use daft names , it's for fun, really )I didn't want someone to find me on fb...used mine for an email address as anything else was in use despite having 2 , one unusual, names I use interchangeably . I've changed it to my Irish name because it's time to stop acting the maggot with stupid names . In fairness those of us who attended a gaelscoil can find Irish popping out now and then and it's nice to feel you still have some connection .Never occurred to me it seems pretentious . Sometimes I do wonder ''what the hell is that one in English , though

TA feelings . Must have fallen into a puddle of feelings .

Speaking of co-workers, the young guys behind me have been blathering on about Game of Thrones almost non-stop this morning. I've never watched it, no intention of watching it, and their obsession just drives me up the walls! Can't they at least talk about The Expanse?

Was sat beside a couple with a young baby on a flight I took over the weekend.
The baby was the cutest, most well behaved chap ever and all was going well in peaceful harmony, until mammy decided to change his dirty nappy on the fold down trays.
I was extremely hungover and both the sight and stench had me dry heaving. It was so unhygienic and intrusive.

Bredabe · 15-04-2019 1:41pm

Have a bad feeling about my last two submissions for uni, so to head off any unwanted 'Breda, please resubmit your work' emails, I've
been checking if the tutors have started their marking yet ,on a daily bases.
One is still saying its awaiting marking and the other says marks will be posted shortly(shortly for here could be tom(unlikely) or next year)

Now I wish I didn't know any of that.

An assh*le I went to school with just posted a full synopsis of the new episode of Game of Thrones on fb, complete with spoilers.
Some of us have jobs to get up for in the morning and couldn't stay awake till 2am to watch last night.

People who do stuff like that are **** of the highest order. I'm actually raging.

Oh my god, my postman is doing this too and it really annoys me!
Last week he folded a clearly marked official letter that contained the log book for my car. There's nothing behind the letter box making it difficult to open, he just seems to be in the habit of folding over letters to push them through.

GBX · 15-04-2019 3:49pm

Somebody who visits my job and comes in the door, mid mobile conversation on speaker. Holding out in front of them. Can people not take calls putting the phone up to their ears anymore?

partyguinness · 15-04-2019 3:52pm

Mr Ahmad turns into the biggest pain in the ass client...calling every fcuking day demanding x, y and z.

Matter completes. Do you think he was as on it when it came paying his invoice? Ah hell no....after the 28 day were up sent up we sent him a snotty debt collection letter.

Oh...that got your attention and now you're giving it loads about being a good client for years. No you are not- a few ****ty poxy little matters. Nothing worth talking about.

Well all I will say is: "Fcuk you. Good clients pay their invoices in time. So I would be delighted never to see you again."

You wouldn't mind but in this instance the tenant paid you our costs so you had it already and didn't have to put your hand in your pocket.

Yeah I accept my predecessor was a pussy when it came to billing but there is a new sheriff in town and I'm cleaning out the rubbish clients of this world- you Mr Ahmad are on my list.

I got up at 2am to watch it despite being in work today (and have hit the wall big time as a result) but would never in a million years post about it. You shouldn't have to, but it really is safer to just avoid the internet altogether until you watch a big show you're invested in. Although I memorably once managed to spoil Orange is the New Black *on myself* by reading a synopsis of the series I was about to start instead of the previous one I meant to refresh my memory of...

That is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
You should have asked to be moved.
Never in a million years would I even change a wet nappy in that circumstance.

And that is the reason why I have avoided all social media today. Boards, I can deal with by not opening up specific threads..fb, twitter and ig on the otherhand...never know what would pop up. Even the news media are cretins for this.

I've the 2am show recorded, and I will watch it at my own leisure, no spoilers seen.

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!!

That is such a dickish thing to do. How could somebody be that unaware? I don’t watch GoT but it cannot be ignored that it’s a huge cultural phenomenon and even non-watchers are well aware of that. I’m inclined to think that that person is not unaware and is a huge, massive attention-seeker.

Words fail me.

Where were the flight attendants? Besides the disgust of it all, its a health & safety issue and staff should have been all over the parents. Even if it is too late by the time they realise, they should still be warning the parent(s) that this is unacceptable.

As someone who travels with children regularly there is no excuse for this. When there are queues for the toilet, I've never had an issue with people allowing little ones to skip ahead.

TA with this bloody weather, it was all hopeful last week with a bit of sun but back to bloody cold, well, a cold breeze. Living near the sea is bliss in the hot summer but now its the pits. Winter please fcuk off to the proverbial.

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.

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.
