    I’m not good enough for perm but I’m good enough to train someone to be perm :/

    I'd be telling them to stick it!

    Hearing horrible things about two of my friends (from a mutual friend) and not knowing what to think... :(

    Retweeting a pic from Cristiano Ronaldo with his kids and having two (now former) friends making all manner of nasty comments.

    One ending with "support women you bitch".

    Lovely.

    Hey guy driving the black Mercedes van, what's the story, you nearly clipped me 3 times and it looks like you were trying to do it on purpose.
    Pr*ck.

    My missus had her flight cancelled last night. The early morning flight got booked out before she had a chance to get a seat so she had to opt for the 11.40 one which means that she won't be home until 2pm. The cat sitters dropped the keys through the letter box yesterday because she was supposed to be back last night so the poor cat must be out of food by now and wondering why he's on his own. I have the guilts over it. My missus also has a deadline in work today but she'll be lucky to make it in by 3pm so there's no way she'll make it. The poor girl is stressed to feck and I feel so bad for her.

    Posters on social media who start their sentence with "Jaysus".
    Really shows up one of our Irish communication skill deficits.

    Cats are fairly durable, it'll just sleep to conserve energy.
    Plus, it has a set of keys to play with as well to entertain itself.

    Still feeling so hurt and heartsick over the end of my relationship even though its been 4 months now.
    I genuinely don't know how people whose marriages end or partners pass away get up in the morning. This is torture.
    The pain will ease eventually and you will be stronger. If you had stayed with that ar$ehole you'd have had a lifetime of misery.

    You made the classic mistake of not making yourself indispensable.

    Trying to decide on new coat. One I really like is over €40 (which isn't bad for a coat) I'm just not sure I should be spending that much. There's one I like less which is cheaper at just over €20, but it doesn't have a hood or button/zip at the front. Don't know what to dooooo :confused:

    This sh*t. Especially the last one. That's a made up sign which means that somebody imagined it, somebody made it and then someone else displayed it. That's three different people.

    When you receive a letter from the financial institution that has taken over your mortgage and it starts..

    Due to data protection etc etc we need photocopies of your passport, driving licence, utility bills, signed by Gardaí etc etc,

    Now this company has been collecting my mortgage on behalf of a different company for the last 2.5 years with no bother, so now they own the mortgage why do they want all this stuff now, nothing has changed on my side.

    If I protect my data by NOT sending what they want, what will happen, will they stop collecting my mortgage??

    And who are they, send me their passport, licence etc, grrrr.

    Think me phone is on the way out, it's getting iffy charging, lately I've missed a few calls where people said it went to voicemail despite being in good signal areas.

    Part of me would like something snazzy-ish but I'm baulking at the prices when 90% of the time it's for occasional calls and texts. Not used for music/camera/games etc.

    GET YOUR FRICKING ACT TOGETHER BANK OF IRELAND!! For days now Transactons have been updating. Can't see how this is taking so long. I'd give what oh maybe 48 hours for this type of thing would give 2 days in case the day was a busy one in the first 24 hours, but.... after 2 days, I'm starting to get a bit suspicious now about and want to ask questions about what ye're at. The funny thing is, - yesterday it did go full circle and everything did seem updated but then today is back like it was 2 days ago. I did ring them last night. But all's the gal on the other end of the Phone could tell me was it'll be updated whenever it's updated. Whenever that will be. :rolleyes::rolleyes: Shure what kind of useless info is that. No help. Have I go sitting down with a Calculator and totting up everything. FEIC SAKE. :mad::mad: SORT YOURSELVES OUT B.O.I.
