    Having to get a patch test (again) before I get my hair done because it's been over six months since I've been in a Peter Marks.

    I actually think that's quite clever! It's the Fir & Mna ones in super-touristy pubs that strike me as particularly cruel :D

    Not so clever when you have had a few pints already and inter cert science was 30+ years ago.

    Awh, we are not all bad! :(

    On topic, people who are convinced they are the only people on the team who are busy. Everyone is busy, if we muck in like a team and prioitise properly we will get there. If you try and throw your weight around and only prioritise your work while constantly giving out about how busy you are, we will not.

    7 nights left..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,926 ✭✭✭mikemac2


    Everyday, well Monday to Friday I download podcasts. Ah stuff like sports, Pat Kenny, and the like

    I had an amazing app called pocket casts and I paid near 5 euro for. Considering there a gazillion free apps out there I decided to pay as it was a super app. I loved how it worked

    They "upgraded" it and now it's a pos. Yes it has more options but I loved it slim, clean and simple. It's near unusable now

    TA'd at companies who have an amazing product and just won't leave it alone

    when boards makes me feel dumb. And me with Honours English in my leaving cert years ago and saw Macbeth in the Bord Gais Theatre this year n'all

    correlation does not mean causation
    strawman arguement
    dual dichotomy

    I see all of these in After Hours and I iz dumb :(

    "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" (I know the feeling...)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,204 ✭✭✭Kitty6277


    My boyfriend has told me he’s getting me really amazing presents this Christmas and that I’m going to absolutely love them. He’s said they’re gonna cost almost €300 :eek: my TA is this year, because I’m not working and am living on my own I’m not going to be able to spend anywhere near that amount on him :( we’re the type of couple that it doesn’t matter if one of us spends more than the other, but still, I feel bad :(
