    Why are songs like You Get What You Give by The New Radicals and Smooth by Santanta still being played to death on radio in 2019??

    Speaking of flakes and liabilities. Dont think they dont care about money. They can be quick enough to take the money and have an eye to screw people over.

    Apparently a woman I've known for about 6 years *In person* took umbrage because I liked someone else's comment but not hers on my Facebook post. I probably didn't even see hers.
    And our mutual friend who I've known much longer *in person*and have more history with than she does was "very chummy" to me. I've been promoting and praising the jumped up clown to everyone with a scintilla of interest in what she does in the hope it might bring good connections her way. Mercenary *****. When I started publicising my own work she made weird comments on a group photo someone shared of my work, assuming I wasnt actually in the group (id just joined)about the environmental impact of the processes involved. I asked directly what was she referring to and laid out the facts and she vanished.

    Bloody hippy nutters can fester in their harem pants and paranoia now. They deserve each other

    *point out worrying side effects of a common drug
    * outraged person storms in and informs you that they've been taking it for years and they're still here

    Instant death isn't one of the side effects. ..

    I'd hazard a guess they could be due to play gigs here soon so!

    Middle aged/elderly auld wagons and s big pile of money off vouchers are a nightmare combination.

    Behind one in Dunnes Stores last week, not such an auld one. She hands the cashier not just the money off vouchers but the whole of the shopping receipt from her previous shops. Too lazy to tear the voucher off the bottom. Leaves it for the cashier to do.

    Then she hands in pages of the 50c off booklets that you get in the post and asks the cashier to scan all of them to see if they are acceptable.

    We don't mind waiting behind you.....lazy cow.

    People, especially women dressing as if they are going on an Arctic expedition when they are literally walking from the door to the car which is parked as near as possible to said door.
    It's Ireland,not Northern Finland and you aren't driving an open top vehicle,so why do you need a giant wooly hat on in a car?

    I have a musical ear, but no ability to play anything. One side effect of this is that I remember distinctive rifs and the like.

    Last night I came across the original version of Elbow's on a day like this, I recognised the opening strings in a second but it took ages and ages to place where I had heard it before. when I did it opened a flood gates of emotion which was very draining and left me really really shaky all evening/night.

    This morning still emotionally shakey, my carshare buddy turned his radio up as he 'loved this song', which mentioned christmas shopping on grafton st and meeting ppl off trains for visits, resurrecting my latent homesickness.

    Music is trying to drive me to a breakdown!

    I'm annoyed with......TIME....or more the fact of how quick it goes.
    Sitting here inside in work and reminiscing of being younger and me and my siblings playing on my dad's back during the summer, only feels like yesterday. In the blink of an eye it's gone from having a strong dad who played with us to a frail father who we now look after.
    My parents are living by themselves now, gone are the days of they having 7 children with them and the home been a hive of energy. It seems to have happened in a blink of an eye.I grew up with 5 sisters and 1 brother in a 3 bedroomed house, laughs...fights...tears...but 9 of us always there, now we very rarely spend time together, our own families have taken us over but it doesn't stop me from thinking of the great family time we had when we were younger and sometimes wishing we could go back to those times.
    I'm 48 now and before people tell me I'm still young I know that but that does not stop the time going too fast. I've 3 chicks and when I look at photos from a few years ago I can't stop thinking of how the time is flying. I'm watching my chicks getting older and I'm dreading the time where I can't carry them on my back, hence I'm always messing and playing with them, cos I dread the day when I look at them and realise I'm not able too anymore. It's not right that it's going to fast.

    Dam you Time!

    Apologies for the rant folks...move along now.

    Dear Aldi,

    I recently purchased your Owl Mug. I am now blind and bleeding from both eyes, thanks to having impaled myself on its 'ears'.

    Happy Christmas,

    Trapped with two of Mr Crumble's aunts at a family gathering over the weekend. One of them was told by the other that she needed to be 'pacific' about something. She replied with "I AM being pacific" and was told that "Well, you need to more pacific so".

    After we left I told Mr Crumble that I was done with his family gatherings, and I was quite SPECIFIC about it.

    Couple of week's ago, I was working one on one with a colleague from a uk office, he kept changing what time he wanted to start at, then he demanded a map of how to get to the venue.

    At the end of an exhausting morning we head off to the only bus heading back to civilization for the next hour, turns out we were getting off in the same area(it has 3/4 bus stops in a short space), so off he gets with me, as we are headed to much the same place. He complains to me on the way to his venue, that I had gotten off at the wrong stop and this was a much longer way than he usually takes! on this walk he criticized my handwriting(justified, but he knew this ahead of time)

    Today I get an email from him asking if I would like to have dinner with him when he is back in the country for his next training!

    Ta that such miserable,cranky ppl think I would want to spend anymore time than Im paid for, with them!

    That speech error is associated with a specific minor defect in hearing. They literally can't hear the difference. You're annoyed at a disability.

    They were both in the charts in 1999 which may just be a co incidence.

    Didn't you read the warnings? It says "suitable for right-handed people with no cheeks only - dimples preferred".

    I know it's the 20th anniversary of these songs this year but these 2 songs have actually been played to death in Irish radio SINCE 1999 :(
