Following on from a chat with GP last year and a NYE sifting through numerical data, I've figured out I'm past the stage of needing 'female sanitary paper products' any-more.

I'm well OK with that, its the fact I have over a boxful of them that I cant donate to charity as their sales packaging is opened and its going to sit in the attic attracting vermin for ever.

A little TMI maybe but can't help wondering why you don't put them in the wheelie bin.

branie2 · 04-02-2019 7:24pm

That would be a good idea

Its a process, once I've tried all options to up scale or pass along,they may end up there, but at 5e at least per box, it would seems soooo wasteful. Hense the TA

CrowdedHouse · 04-02-2019 7:38pm

Ah right I get you now.

I had to dump gels (energy for cycling), they were OK after the best before date but eventually the taste went off and had to go to the bin. Good price in Lidl but bought too many.

What about the homeless shelters ?

None will take them because their outer wrapping is opened.

I found two grey hairs today. Feck.

davidk1394 · 04-02-2019 8:52pm

It was the culchies day out in big shmoke yesterday. Decided I’d see what the fuss was about over these Krispe Kreme doughnuts. I was in the drive thru que when a woman pulls up on the road in a Merc jeep. Leaves it running, gets out and walks over to the drive thru and somehow gets served.
Not sure whether I’d give her a pat on the back or a boot up the àrse really.

My mother asked me where too. On my head, so yes they were mine

Let's just say I couldn't find them down south

Kitty6277 · 04-02-2019 9:16pm

Stress. Week 3 of the semester and already I have so much to do and no time to do it. Have readings, draft blog posts, an article for the college newspaper, and a proposed outline for my FYP to send to my potential supervisor. How will I find time? Can’t do it in the evenings as I’m usually wrecked after driving home, can’t do it any the weekends as I’m working. Feeling like somethings gotta give between commuting and working, but neither can because I can’t afford to move in, and I can’t afford to give up work.

Only two? That'd be nice.

Advantage of having a tight haircut is you can't see all mine for a few weeks at a time

NewbridgeIR · 04-02-2019 11:57pm

Cooked a chicken in the slow cooker.
Very nice.

Went to lift out the cooking point so as to empty out the chicken juice. Forgot I hadn't unplugged it so had to run my hands under the cold tap for ages.

madmaggie · 05-02-2019 12:50am

When you do something with the best of intentions and trying to be helpful, and told to back off. Not in a nasty way, but coldly polite.

CrowdedHouse · 05-02-2019 7:58am

I'm wide awake much earlier than I need to be, which is a TA in itself, decide to have a listen to the news, look at the clock and it's 6:04....ggrrrr

Mollyb60 · 05-02-2019 10:13am

Sprained my ankle at the weekend so the OH drove me to the shops yesterday to pick up a few things. Jesus Christ I remember now why I do all the driving! He is the most nervous driver I've ever met. Drives too close to the kerb, too close to parked cars, tried to take our wing mirror off driving into the driveway, couldn't drive nose first into a parking space, can't reverse, revs the car to **** and refuses to go into 4th gear, nearly cut it out on a hill, drove consistently about 10mph below the speed limit with no other traffic on the road and brakes really harshly. He hates driving with a passion and it shows. My nerves were shot when we got home!

Count Down · 05-02-2019 11:11am

When people use that idiotic phrase 'World class'. Minister Simon Harris was on the news yesterday and described the National Children's Hospital upon its completion as "World class". What does 'World class' actually mean, literally?

World class means forget about the overspend pleeeeeeeaaaaaasssssee

castletownman · 05-02-2019 11:26am

Heavy weekend of a night out on Saturday (after a dry start to the year) and a Super Bowl party on Sunday, meant I was wrecked going to bed last night.

Of course, it was the one night the OH's dog decided to have a one-person barking concert downstairs. He seemed to be at it all night.

So much for a recovery nights sleep. Groggy in work so far today.

This seems to be a weird northside thing. I used to work in Finglas and on two separate occasions saw people park their car at McDonald's in Charlestown and walk through the drive-thru???

Kitty6277 · 05-02-2019 11:55am

Class in 5 minutes and every car park on campus is full

Genius here decided she didn't need a raincoat this morning, sure only a few steps from car to office building.

Tazzimus · 05-02-2019 12:31pm

I've been caught in the rain too many times lately, in a jacket that's more like a towel, to take that risk.
Checked the phone this morning, high chance of rain, brolly it is.

Not a drop yet but I'm prepared at least.

Bredabe · 05-02-2019 1:01pm

When the solution to a lot of problems is simple, but completely impossible to implement!

RMAOK · 05-02-2019 1:01pm

TA for some people's lack of punctuality - if you say you'll be somewhere at a particular time, you be there. If something came up and us delaying you, ring or text to tell them you are running late. It's quite infuriating at times tbh. :mad:

Rubberlegs · 05-02-2019 1:37pm

Every time I put up my hood today I managed to dislodge my glasses.

When did we start using "semester"? Of all the Americanisms, that word annoys me the most. I instantly picture a Frat House.

Isn't it still called "term"?

(Sorry Kitty, I do hope things work out for you

)

I’ve been in college three years and it’s been semester since I’ve been there, I just figured that schools had terms and colleges had semesters

And thanks, I’m sure I’ll be just fine

Blasted Americanisms - teachers are becoming 'Educators'. What next?
We'll be buying gasoline instead of petrol.....:mad:

Jeremy Clarkson giving out about the Americans. "They call a liquid, gas"

Bredabe · 05-02-2019 4:49pm

Three days the ladies in my assignment group have been going back and forth saying things like "on point b, do you think she means this or that" and " now here, does this word mean x or y" Middering like a flock on every dam point.

Fed up to my runny nostrils with this I suggest they compiled a list and ask the tutor for clarification at the online classroom tonight, they respond by saying they are going with what they have.:mad::mad::mad:

Bredabe · 05-02-2019 4:53pm

The definition of ta, a hard of hearing and shortsighted dyslexic asking a dyspraxic how to put a mini sim into their new phone.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Not at all frustrating or time-consuming, not at all at all.

Now if only they were quieter and not so loud I can't hear the phone!!!!!!!

Sushi.

Never enough of the stuff unless you spend a small fortune.

whisky_galore · 05-02-2019 8:08pm

People that drive into perpendicular parking spaces only to reverse out into traffic blindly.
Far easier to get out if you only reverse into your space.

Is it far easier to get in?

It's the spellings that do my head in like - tire fiber liter color etc. might be some excuse if you're a Yank, but not if you're from some backward place like.... Dublin. Irish web site in Ireland = Hiberno-English please.

You can see what you're doing if you reverse in/drive out. Reversing out blind is hoping someone's going to stop for you. Saw someone almost come a cropper assuming this, nearly ramming into another car.

castletownman · 05-02-2019 8:46pm

Caught behind a fella at the petrol pumps, who could clearly see me in the queue behind his car, yet still engaged in conversation with someone in the middle of the forecourt. For about five minutes. Even the person he was talking to was acknowledging that perhaps he should move the car.

He was driving an Audi though, so perhaps that explains it

NIMAN · 05-02-2019 10:10pm

Irish people obsessed with Israeli Palestinian issues.

Theresa May came to Belfast today to talk about BREXIT and the border.

There were a handful of protesters flying Palestinian flags and moaning about her supporting Israel.

You'd think BREXIT and the border are slightly more important issues in their lives?

Then again, as long as it doesn't affect their dole or disability allowance, they probably could care less about BREXIT
