Shitting shit it.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

A thread for all things that make you cross.

I am currently annoyed by the following:

– There seems to be nothing on telly but coverage of the sodding financial crisis.

– Big Monster Munch are back…but they’re still not quite like they used to be and nobody believes me.

I am skint and all thoses temp jobs I used to do seemed to have dried up.

[Danny Stephenson]

My computer is a Dell

[Pete Part Three]

I’ve been on antibiotics and haven’t had a drink since August.

[Andrew]

Gout. Fucking bastard bloody gout.

[Kris ‘Drivaaar’ Carter]

Currently irritated by:

The cost of repairing my roof.
Every other driver on the road.

[hummingbird]

I hate my job.
I can’t sell my house.
I need to get laid.

[Phil]

If it’s any consolation, my life is great. Babes, bucks, I got it all. Anyway, goodnight. I gotta get up early to go parasailing with movie stars!

[Ben Paddon]

I want to sell my shares. LET ME SELL MY FUCKING SHARES, COMPUTERSHARE.

[Stabbim the Skutter]

I’m a fat bastard and my acne won’t fuck off.

[mick]

>My computer is a Dell

Awww dude, I don’t know what to say, I had no idea!

I’m so sorry man, my condolences to you and your family.

You never think it will happen to anyone you know do you :(

>Gout. Fucking bastard bloody gout.

It’s awful when your tile lines go black, i recommend B&Q.

[James]

Hate Malware, and if I catch (most unlikely) the twat that infected a random Excel file, I’m going to rip his/her nipples off with a waffle iron!

[ChrisM]

In debt (and the company went bust before I finished the courses. I’m still expected to pay for it all though, oh yes.)

Unemployed. Have been for months. I wasn’t paid well in last job and ended up in greater debt as a consequence (lots of travel expenses on job.)

Single. (Debatable whether that’s a bad thing or not I suppose… )

Receding hair line. (Although there’s plenty of hair where I could do without it. Can’t say God doesn’t have a sense of humor at least.)

Still live at home with Dad. (Actually this isn’t much of a problem as I like where I live and I get on well with my Dad; a great bloke. Not keen on other occupant though… but we mostly keep out of each others way.)

Still gotta laugh haven’t you? :)

On bright note, I get to do lots of reading, and that’s a favourite past time. (Sounds boring? Not at all. You get to go to places your never would when you read. Really.)

[Dave]

>You get to go to places your never would when you read.

I’ve been to Titan, I’ve been to Bolanski

[Tarka Dal]

I can wrap a mini round a tree when I’m drunk-ski?

[ChrisM]

Exactly.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

Three air-raids last night. Spent most of it down the Anderson shelter.

[Dave]

The Anderson shelter is a flawed design. That hole in the roof to let the strings through is just asking for trouble.

[Jonathan Capps]

> Gout. Fucking bastard bloody gout.

I literally feel your pain. I keep getting it in alternating feet, so I’m just waiting for the day when it gets both at once. That will be a day that will be not good.

[Andrew]

> I keep getting it in alternating feet, so I?m just waiting for the day when it gets both at once.

My giddy Christ, what a terrifying thought!

I’m reducing my booze intake (seems this one was set off by a particular binge). Presumably, if it keeps happening, nothing you’ve tried has actually worked?

[Ian Symes]

Gout. Fucking bastard bloody gout.

Let it all out.

[Jonathan Capps]

> I?m reducing my booze intake (seems this one was set off by a particular binge). Presumably, if it keeps happening, nothing you?ve tried has actually worked?

I suspect booze is the cause for me, too, but I only really drink on weekends. Still, they’re usually a bit bingey. I did try cutting out cheese (at random, really, as I’m not even sure it’s a cause) and that’s been followed by a largely gout free spell, so who knows…

Thank God for Nurofen and Volterol, though.

[Andrew]

> Thank God for Nurofen and Volterol, though.

I was given Indometacin. Great for the foot, but my guts were less than keen.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

I’ve got a boil on my arse.

Fucking boils? Gout? Is it the 18th century again?

Stocking up on oranges before the scurvy kicks in.

[Jonathan Capps]

> I was given Indometacin. Great for the foot, but my guts were less than keen.

My guts openly welcome Volterol so maybe that’ll be better for you – unless Indometacin is important in your case for another reason.

> Fucking boils? Gout? Is it the 18th century again?

I look a bit like Samuel Johnson, too.

[Ben Paddon]

Cadmium2 irritated me by posting a rumour that they made up about who the Eleventh Doctor might be, and then removing it when I call them on it only to replace it with a bitter rant on “the perils of blogging”.

Edit: Which has now been removed.

Edit: Don’t worry, I covered most of this on my blog. ChrisM

>boils? Gout? Is it the 18th century again?

Boils are quite common really. (Verucas for example are basically just foot boils, although they sometimes go inwards.)

I had one on my finger for quite a while. It’s gone now thank goodness.

[Danny Stephenson]

A verruca on your finger, you unlucky bugger.

[Jonathan Capps]

> A verruca on your finger, you unlucky bugger.

One of the less successful curses of the past.

[ChrisM]

>A verruca on your finger, you unlucky bugger.

Heh, yeah. Handstands were a bummer.

I’ve had a couple on my feet too. Seemed to happen relatively late in life for me though*, i.e. not in my teens like when it usually seems to happen, i.e. from PE showers etc.

I also had this really strange thing where I had this thick skin grow on my big toes. It happened when I used to wear leather boots with steel toe-caps as my regular walking shoes. (Back in my kinky biker days. Not really, they were just ankle boot things.) It didn’t hurt at all (I think it was just dead skin really) but it got so thick in the end it made my big toes look deformed.

In the end I did a bit of self surgery in the bath-tub with a pair of scissors. (Very carefully.) The dead skin was so thick you could cut into it 5mm or so without hurting yourself. (Not advisable though. Use a pumice stone instead.)

Oh and I stopped wearing the boots. They were well made boots though, but no ventilation, hence the problem.

(That post was probably what the Americans class under TMI.) ;)

*EDIT- ‘Late in life’ looks strange. Late in the life I’ve had so far I mean, still being on the kinder side of 30s. Not that people above 35 are unkind.

[Andrew]

> (That post was probably what the Americans class under TMI.)

No. Kidding.

[Jonathan Capps]

I have this strange growth in the middle of my face…

[Phil]

I have a crack in my butt.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

I’ve got a bone in my pants.

[Ben Paddon]

I have… hair. On my head.

[ChrisM]

I’ve got hair in lots of places.

(Could do with more where it matters thought but I’m not planning a transplant. I’m not sure the kinkly look would suit me.)

[Pete Part Three]

I’ve got so much hair it’s as if Robin Williams?s back has mated with my old dinner lady.

Or something.
