Reasons not to be cheerful

[rusty66]

Ok again, stolen from another forum, but if you like a wee moan...look! Now you gots somewhere to do it!!!

My RNTBC:

I feel boaky still!

[arginite]

Right tough one... so many things good and bad.

Today's reason not to be cheerful is that my lovely little VW Bug is going to a new home and I will really really miss him.

Ode to Burt:
My cute little bug you were the best car ever and im sooooo sorry!! :'(

[Fintan]

Hmmm I have one for today...

...the fact my digital camera won't turn on.... :x :x

uh-oh!!
Need techie help? what is it doing? if anything!

[Fintan]

Ohh please!

When I turn it on the screen lights up,clicks three times and then just turns itself off :?

Yes!

How can I get the dust of my sensor without bringing it to a photography shop or blowing into it with my breath?

[quote=Claire Guinness]

Yes!

How can I get the dust of my sensor without bringing it to a photography shop or blowing into it with my breath?

DSLR you mean??

If it is only a bit dusty and not dirty then buy a 'Rocket Blower' they look kinda rude but it has this twisty nossle thing that lets you angle the air (very light air) in the direction you want. Great for 'on the go' and mirrors as well. DO NOT let the nossle touch the sensor!!! The only thing that should ever touch the sensor is a swab with solution or one of the special brushes you can buy.

Ok if it is really dirty then you need to buy a Copperhill Sensor Cleaning kit, about ?30 and swab the sensor! It is no harm to have this on standby as you will need it at some point.
Sensor cleaning servies offered in exchange for chocolate or JD. Oh wait... you live in Belfast! :( Ah well

This is where I buy mine from, Chili Pix, best value!
<a>Copperhill Cleaning</a>


DO NOT blow into the camera.
DO NOT use a can of pressurized air to blow into the camera.

[Guinness]

Right, Well I'll take those into consideration.

I thought though when you touch the sensor it invalidates your warranty?

[arginite]

I thought though when you touch the sensor it invalidates your warranty?

Yeah it does. But that is exactly what the shop will do and charge you twice the price. Every photographer I know cleans his own sensor, except for 400D users who dont need to do it at all :( Its scary first time round but it is the only solution. If you dont want to go through that then get the rocket blower, that'll remove most of the gunge without going near the sensor.

[arginite]

Reason not to be cheerful... I feel really sick... or to use the new word I learnt from you Belfast folk.. boaky!


:(

[rusty66]

My housemate:

Lovely girl.

But holy hell does she ever do anything but moan?? Now, as I have said I love moaning, its what I do best but everything has to be about her. Every time we talk she has SOMETHING wrong with her...At least I can be happy sometimes?! Grrrrrrr

[/rant]

[mac]

Friends who confuse the word LEND with the word GIFT.

[Fintan]

Haha, quite convenient some might say...although I tend to ''borrow'' things and never give them back so I can't really say anything! :roll:

[Guinness]

Yes you do!

But when I do get some things back from you, they all smell of you which is class!

:D

[rusty66]

^

possibly cutest comment ever!

[thesneakybandit]

one person's cute is another person's boaky! :D :roll: :wink:

[arginite]

rntbc: making the same mistake over and over again. So much for a lesson learned!

[Fintan]

PHONEBILLS :x :x :x

And also when you are running to catch up with your bus and the second you reach the door they drive on and don't even come back :(

[thesneakybandit]

ahh that peter kay moment

[rusty66]

rntbc:

Got some bad news... :cry:

[arginite]

rntbc:

Got some bad news... :cry:

For you Sian, http://www.flickr.com/photos/click_click/269594950/ and the biggest hug I can give over the internet. Thoughts are with you xx

[jan]

So sorry to hear you had bad news Sian.
xx

[arginite]

rntbc: Bloody ISP being crap and leaving me with no BB. Stuck at home in Kerry with no net ararghagrhagrhagrharghagrhagrhargharg

[rusty66]

More bad news...

Will there ever be a break?

[Fintan]

Thoughts are with you Sian.x

My reason not to be cheerful for today is WORK. Customers just thinking that because you are significantly younger than them that you don't have a clue how the company runs or what the policy is and asks to speak to the manager which just tells them exactly the same thing. Also the fact that when you are meant to finish work at 10 and then they expect you to work work work until they see fit, which tonight was 11 :evil: :evil:

[arginite]

my rntbc: is that i dont have any reasons to be cheerful :(

[Fintan]

Awhh Katie, can you not think of one wee tiny tiny thing?! Go listen to a song that always puts a smile on your face, always seems to work for me! :)

[thesneakybandit]

try "cheer up (you miserable fuck)" by the lovely mr david ford ;)

haha only kidding!

[Guinness]

Thanks to Katie herself I was able to listen to that song for the first time the other day!

w00t w00t

[arginite]

aawww guys thanks! well im not cheery... but i was just taken to a 'cheer you up' dinner and bought a slice of 'Toblerone and Butterscotch Schnaps Cheesecake' hard not to smile when eating something that yummy

[matthew]

rntbc: tuesday night parties and wed morning confessions!

Live Sex (http://livesexwebshows.com/)

[jan]

Sounds like fun to me :D
I'm too old to have anything to confess.

[matthew]

its not that fun :( but

CHEER UP SLEEPY JEAN!

did anyone else watch the wiggles

[mac]

Getting psyched up all day for the Duke and Divine Comedy concert tonight
then realising it's not til next week. Doh! :oops:
I don't get out much!

[jan]

Premature senility Mac?
I'll send you one of those things you put on the wall with spaces to write stuff beside the date........the name of it escapes me just now :?
Now I know I have to go out but why?.......someone said I had to go out more...... :D
xx

[Fintan]

lack of sleep...
coursework...
also realising I'm forgetting most of my Spanish and regretting throwing all my notes out in a rage!

[thesneakybandit]

ay carumba senorita!!!

[Fintan]

Muchos Gracias Sneaky! Estoy contenta ahora! :D

[thesneakybandit]

tengo demasiado trabajo ahora pero estoy bastante contento por que esta el fin de semana :)

[mac]

Oh yeah thanks Jan, I had one of those things before but it fell apart one day when I was draining my vegetables with it. I'm not too worried about the premature senility though! I get lots of emails everyday from the eastern bloc offering cheap cures for that. In fact I get so many...... frankly I'm getting a little paranoid that people are spreading rumours...........
Oh no, it's all happening again

[Fintan]

Sneaky....Hableis espanol?!?! :!: Hablo un poco....pues...trato!

[jan]

Very good Mac :D
Note that I am resisting the temptation to degrade this thread by descending into smutty innuendo 8)
I think we may have strayed into some European website - half the folks are talking in foreign! They could be saying anything!
Reason NOT to be cheerful: It's cold and frosty outside and I'm getting electric shocks off everything....the fireguard, the cat, the door.........nurse! the smelling salts!!
xx

[mac]

Consider me chastised Jan
I won't do it again I promise!
I was wondering what all the foreign lingo was about too.
Hey, if you guys are ordering Pizza I'll have a hot 'n' spicy.
(What?)

[jan]

Make mine a vegetarian......and a little green salad on the side.....

[very_special]

Make mine a vegetarian..

Yaaay a fellow veggie :wink:

[jan]

Yeah about 10 years now!
You know that most people think we're strange?
I can live with that 8)

[very_special]

Ditto Jan :)
Most people assume I'm vegetarian for health benefits?? Ah no, Guinness and red wine are (supposedly) detrimental to my health and I have absolutely no intention of giving them up. :wink:

Not long now till a huge bunch of UK viewers become smitten with the Dukester and join us devotees....
Basing that on the amount of new bands I've discovered from Later with Jools :roll:

'Portrait' and 'No Cover Up'.....bliss :D

[jan]

Not long now........ah the anticipation!
I've told everyone to watch Later........several of them people I work for who are 'English ladies of a certain age' and they all think I'm barking 8) ....
hey, this should be on the Reasons to BE cheerful thread......
What the heck...........anyone wanting to post here from this moment on tonight had better listen to David Ford's Cheer up you miserable ****! (With deference to a previous poster making this suggestion)
Anyone finding this difficult can contact me for further advice.
Night night all.

[arginite]

listen to David Ford's Cheer up you miserable ****! (With deference to a previous poster making this suggestion)
xx

Thats supposed to be my form of intervention lol! Its kinda a knock on effect. Steve introduced me, and then I sent it around the forum... its like a cold.. but in a good way!

Cheers Steve :D

[rusty66]

I dont want the cold you miserable fuck! :D

[jan]

Cheer up etc is a great song though and what I really meant was that if anyone wanted to hear it i could do a secret tape thingy whatsit...nudge nudge wink wink
If it hadn't been that i wanted to go and see Mr Ford in Feb I would never have heard of Duke Special since he was supporting at the time and wouldn't have been constantly digging myself out of the hole I'm in with this forum :D :D :D
We have some neighbours we don't get along with and I make a point of playing Cheer up...etc on the car stereo as we pass when the mood is right :evil: :evil:

[rusty66]

Claire G has never seen Garden state nor does she know who Zach Braff is. this makes me sad...

[Fintan]

I know who he is NOW Sian! Hehe!! Here thats nothing...

*waits for Guinness to comment on the amount of films I HAVEN'T seen*

[thesneakybandit]

wasn't it you who had never seen star wars either!?

[rusty66]

That just means she is normal!! :D:D

[Fintan]

Yup, never seen Star Wars, the goonies, any James Bond...I'm sure the list goes on!!

[jan]

You ain't missed anything Claire - but have you seen Shrek? Now that's a funny film.
xx

[Fintan]

Yes, Shrek one AND Shrek 2!! Go Me!! :D :D

I was seriously deprived as a child though!!

[rusty66]

I know all the words to Shrek :D

I worked for Xtravision for 4 years and that was my "happy" film! I loved it and can stil, to this day quote it! I especially love after Halleluyah plays...

"Donkey?!?! what are you doing here?"
"I would think of all people you know a wall when you see one"
"But the wall is supposed to go around my swamp, not through it!"
"It is. Around your half see, this is your half and this is my half"
"Your half?"
"Yes, my half...I helped rescue the princess, I did the half work so I get half the booty..now hand me that big old rock, the one that looks like your head."
"GRRRRRR....Fine!"


I am going to stop now....ahem

[Fintan]

Hehe!

'I like your boulder....that is a nice boulder'

Makes me laugh everytime!! :D

[jan]

I just love all the little visual jokes and homages to other films, too numerous to mention.
When we can't think of anything else to do we say 'Shrek! Yes!'
C'mon Pinnocchio, tell a lie, say you're wearing women's underwear.
Silence!..............
Brilliant!

My RNTBC:

realising the weekend is well and truely over and feeling worse today than I did yesterday! :?

[thesneakybandit]

reasons not to be cheerful...
i now have the cold! at least yesterday i was still too drunk to appreciate how shit i was feeling. i'm pretty sure this is what claire is feeling right now too :)

and also i have to go and buy some tea towels and dishcloths from somewhere ;)

[Fintan]

Yeah I think the whole walking to Siano's with no shoes probably didn't help how I'm feeling...Awkk Sneaky this time yesterday you were still on the JD! :)

Just send Siano down some of your T-shirts...How about the red DS one! :wink:

[thesneakybandit]

this time yesterday i was actually sitting shivering on the kitchen floor contemplating the shape of my life... this time today i'm doing exactly the same only on a slightly broken swivel chair rather than sian's kitchen floor! :roll:

[arginite]

rntbc:

leaving Belfast :(

I had such a lovely weekend. and met some truly wonderful people. made some great friends and had so much fun. Back to reality now, and 7 hours away from all the fun and some really SPECIAL friends. sniff

[Fintan]

But then Katie ur reason to be cheerful can be planning another trip up to Belfast again! There's always a bright side! :D

[rusty66]

Could I have anymore work to do?!?! ARRRRGHHHHHH

[PD]

Believe me I feel your pain my dear, the evilness of college!

RNTBC- I had to go to A + E today due to the war injuries I received Sat night by some randomer's lethal stilettos...!! :( I thought I would be ok and could handle the injury because I'm a student nurse....but no. It got worse even though I had nursed it well, I followed all the rules! Cleaned it , elevated it and put a cold ice pack compression against it. My friends made me go because I couldn't walk properly without pain or get my boot off the swelling was that bad, the whole top of my foot including my toes are bruised....So yeah tissue damage and suspected ligament damage due to crush injury, yay!

[Guinness]

That accually sounds worse than the woman who was projectile vomiting over katie and our coats on saturday night...

Does anyone else have anything to add that went wrong on that named night?

[arginite]

see... it worries me that I dont remember this... where was I? ooohhhhh I dont want to know I think. Im never drinking beer again. Ill stick to the JD from now on... once again... apologies to all sniff

[rusty66]

When the hell did that happen?? Was I plastered too I take it? and Katie, no apologies are needed. at all.

One question remains from last weekend...

Where the fuck are my glasses?? I know I had them at some point! *squinty Sian*

[thesneakybandit]

i don't remember anyone projectile vomiting either. it must've been when a few of us actually went in to watch the divine comedy.

[Fintan]

Oh god I completely forgot about that woman! Awwhh was disgusting! Was just as she was leaving the union, she was boking everywhere, looked up for a second and was sick all down the door frame! Eugggh! I think Katie and Steve were there for this could have been at the point where Sian and Scott were in watching! :?

Didn't see the vomiting incident either, yeah it musta been when I went into see Mr Hannon.
Sneaky was that you right up centre front? Think it is was you anyway?

[thesneakybandit]

no me and siano were strategically place equal distances between the music, the bar and the toilets lol...... ie. near the back!

[very_special]

Doppelg?nger :roll:

no me and siano were strategically place equal distances between the music, the bar and the toilets lol...... ie. near the back!

lol, yes ineed, close to all amenities - very wise.

It was well worth the crush to the front though, 'The Divine Comedy'' were on top form, I think Mr Hannon thoroughly enjoyed himself 8)

Was Steve granted access to the pit during their set too? Didn't see him again that evening after I left to go see TDC??

[Guinness]

He was yes, I saw the pics he got.

Very nice indeed!

[rusty66]

My computer smells funny...

I am sitting in on a Friday night, done 350 words of an assignment and now I am throwing my modem cable back down the stairs to do another hour of work...I suck :(

[PD]

Wow nasty, I didn't think gigs could be so dangerous!!? :!:
Hope the foot is feeling better :wink:

Lol, thanxs, I wasn't at a gig that night though just out with my friends in a club.It's still pretty bruised, infact it's turned blue, yellow and purple including my toes, like something out of a horror movie according to my pals... My new phobia is now drunken gals with mega sharp stilletto heels in situ! :!: <----Loving that little smiley right there.

How to roll a joint (http://howtorollajoint.net/)

[arginite]

soooo many reasons today:

1. i have to go to work tomorrow after my break
2. my supervisor is horrible and sent me a horrible mail today and in 1.5yrs has never once said anything positive to me
3. as a result of number 2... im gonna start job hunting and i have no idea where to start... leaving the world of academics is scary
4. making the same mistake over and over and over again
5. being eternally stupid and thick


... I wonder how we're supposed to do this living..... maybe we could just pretend and paper over... i wonder if we're the only ones who struggle..... maybe this is as good as it gets sometimes...

[rusty66]

I don't feel "myself" at all...

Portable vaporizer reviews (http://vaporizers.net/portable-vaporizers)

[PD]

RNTBC-I went to the doctor about my injured foot because it has been so painful lately, turns out I have cellulitus! Horrors! :!: I have to take a week off college to rest it and take anti-biotics to get rid of it.....all because of some random plonker standing on my foot with her stilettos! :(

[Fintan]

Argh I hate when people stand on your feet with their stilettos! But the only thing I ever get is a bruise! Hope it gets better soon Ro!

My RNTBC:
Stoopid internet deciding when to work!
Also...FALLING! Walking along quite happily last night and almost fell twice! TWICE! Stupid Lagan Lookout Bridge! :evil:

[Guinness]

*No Comment*

[PD]

Thanxs Claire, I have been stood on so many times when I have been out with my friends, it never turned out like this though! :? That girlie must have had a stiletto made out of glass or metal or something! :roll:

[thesneakybandit]

akk you can get cellulitis from anything. i got it from a wee insect bite once and nearly had to undergo serious surgery :S

hope you get better. keep taking the flumoxicillan and keep your foot elevated and all that... ;)

*er and casualty have taught me well*

[rusty66]

I KNEW IT!!!

I knew I had talked to SOMEONE about Cellulitis and made the shit joke about having it on me thighs hahaha *ahem.

Twas the sneaky one, shoulda known!!

[Eoin]

My reasons not to be cheerful today and its my first post in this thread so...!

1. I messed up my shifts and came in an hour early for work this morning. I was fecking wrecked this morning too!
2. Came down to the computers to find that there are actually no more tickets available for sale for The Gaiety and as I said before I never ever wins things.
3. Then I head back upstairs and my phone goes off really loud and gets everyones attention who then feel inspired to slag me about said eary rise and my ringtone-its Lay Me Down by the Frames its not the crazy frog or anything!!!! Grrr grumple humpf argh

[Fintan]

my RNTBC:

1. Loosing/ breaking things that are really important to me
2. Drawing too much into things and having too much time to think...its never good hehe!
3. Missing memories that you've realised you'll never get back

[PD]

Sian you literally made me laugh out loud when I read your cellulitus post! Sneakyb, I learn from Scrubs, well that and nearly three years of nursing training, I'd be very worried if I didn't know something by now....! I told one of my friends recently about my cellulitus and he said to me, "Ro is that not what old men and ladies get in their thighs??" :!: Yes I very nearly killed him...... :roll: Football players and dancers get it too god dammit! lol

[thesneakybandit]

lol ro... i don't learn anything medical from scrubs. i just watch it for the relationships advice :)

when i was in hospital with my cellulitis they told me they might have to cut my leg open and drain it or remove the infected area... eek!

[jan]

The wind has lashed rain at me all day and I've got no work done at all outdoors :(
And it's due to get much worse....no work, no money, no Christmas presents :cry:

BLOCKS - nice of someone to goddamn tell me... WHY does everyone hate me this week ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

EVERYTHING is gone pete tong

[PD]

Yikes! I was told it could get nasty alright esp. if it's not caught early.....fingers crossed the anti biotics do their job. About Scrubs it is very educational programme....erm it helps that the delightful Zach Braff is in it too..... :wink:

[rusty66]

Zach Braff is in it


ZACH BRAFF IS MINE!!! ALL MINE RO! AND NO, YOU CANT HAVE LIGHTBODY EITHER! ha!

amazing dot com.Scrubs is possibly one of the funniest, best written and best produced shows on tv at the mo. Me loves it.


Right back to the grind of powerpoints and communication audits...YAWN! :arrow:

[rusty66]

Can ya use yur medical expertise to tell me why I have had chest pains all day???

[Guinness]

Smoking?

WOOHOO well said!! By Mr Lennon and Mr Mac :D

[rusty66]

dont get it.

im thick.

[jan]

Siano, Guinness suggested that your chest pains were due to smoking, Mac and Katie were agreeing.
Don't know if you imbibe of the evil weed or not but that's what they were saying.....clever buggers!
xx

[Fintan]

Could be stress from your assignments and stuff chica, I get chest pains when I get stressed...

Heehee I wasnt really agreeing... I was just agreeing with mac's words ! Being an uber-Lennon fan is all :)

[rusty66]

Noooo! I dont get the thing that Mac said :(

And Jan ermmm yeah I *may* happen to allow a cig to perchance make an appearance in my hand the ODD time :D

[jan]

For anxiety I would recommend using essential oils like lavender, geranium or palma rose....all very good for girlies.
Using them in a burner is lovely......but use them sparingly as too much can have the opposite effect.
Bergamot, grapefruit and neroli are good too......all are citrusy and lift the spirits.

xxMy mums an aromatherapist and she used to make me sniff lavendar when going into an exam so now it has the opp effect on me cos my olfatory [spelling?] recollections just seem to place lavender equating with exams....

[arginite]

K... what mac said means this:


Its a line from one of my fav Beatles songs "I'm So Tired" on the White Album.

It references Sir Walter Raleigh in its initial verses "I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette And curse Sir Walter Raleigh He was such a stupid git"

It refers to the fact that Raleigh is famous for popularising tobacco.

Make sense now?

[rusty66]

YAYYYYYY

Im not Sian not very nice but dim afterall!! yeo

[jan]

Sorry that you have that problem with lavender Sian....me too, I used to drop it on my pillow when worried and probably over-did it because i can't use the oil now but when I have to work amongst lavender plants I find it calming.
Geranium is very good for girlies who have stressful problems but my faves are grapefruit and neroli.
Worth a try?
xx

[PD]

Good one about the Beatles songs. :) About the lavender......yep my Mam made me sniff it prior to a big exam and also made me take rescue remedy which just tasted a wee bit like flowery tasting alcohol....meh, seemed to do the trick!

RNTBC- Drama last night...alcohol should be banned from certain individuals.

[Guinness]

Slicing my baby finger with a brillo pad in work tonight...

Oh my goodness....

[rusty66]

I am a constant in this thread, apologies...

Just back from a fab night in Dublin and first thing I heard when I crossed the border was that my ickle babby nephew has MRSA.

The only stuff I can find on it is really confusing so if anyone can point me in the direction of less confusing stuff can u pm me please? :cry:

[Fintan]

Awk Sian so sorry to hear that. *hugs*

Love and hugs Sian.

Don't be fooled, he is about to lull the old man into a false sense of security before whacking him out with the baseball bat then he will run upstairs and fill his sneaky pockets with fisherman's friends and pension books and then leg it.

He ain't called thesneakybandit for nowt ya know ;) :lol:

It's 5.25 and I'm still awake! And since I have to be up in ywo hours there is zero point in my trying to get some sleep :(

[Fintan]

onefreeman I know how you feel...my sleep patterns are awful recently, was wide awake at 4.15 this morning and was NOT impressed when my alarm went off at 7 :(

[rusty66]

Clairebear, you should have came online...I didn't sleep til after 6am :(

my rtbc: there is now offically nowhere I can hide and lurk on the internet without being told by someone to go do work...feck ye all...im gone :arrow:


(I hearts you all really cos I know tis for my best interests but still!)

[Fintan]

hehe yeah Sian there's really not! I hope you were writing that from Jtown though :wink:

[arginite]

I was awake for hours too. really crap tension headache.. and now im seeing white spots in front of my eyes... i wonder should i worry...

i may have TEH PLAY-GOO-EEY hehe

[Guinness]

Its that fiendish VINO!

:evil: :evil: :evil:

[brianmcf]

I got to bed at 9.20 this morning, up again at 10.50... Darn this has been a long day! Time for bed, I think :oops:

[rusty66]

My tongue stud is starting to be eaten by my tongue...:(

[Guinness]

You might need bigger balls...

(that wasn't a joke by the way)

[rusty66]

weirdly, someone else told me that...

can i just get one bigger ball for the bottom, would it still fit on the original bar? or would i need to get a new bar with bigger balls?

[Guinness]

Bars rarely change in size due to them being standard for most areas of the body (1.6 or 16 gauge)

The balls you can buy from nearly any jewllery shop (fresh garbage, in shops, skin works) and depending on what your problem is depends on how big u need your balls and what material they should be when thinkin about the weight factor and how that may stretch your existing piercing hole.

[rusty66]

Cool, thats Mr O.

I will pop into fresh garbage tmoro...think it could be because I have always kept with the original bar that I got once the swelling went down...so its been the same bar for over three years..I am suddenly realising how completely mank that is...!

boak. :lol: knew you'd know! ta mucho

[Guinness]

So long as you continue to clean it that bar is probably the best and safest bar that you can use. It will either be made out of surgical steel or titanium.

Only thing that might irritate your wound is if the bar is exceptionally long for your tongue. When I had mine done, my tongue was relatively fat so the bar was the perfect size even when it had fully healed.

Anyway, don't worry it could be worse... My tongue went through a phase of trying to grow over my bottom ball and inbed it in my skin.

:smt118

[rusty66]

See that is what is has been doing...and as Claire will tell you I look like a rehab sticking my tongue out to get the ball loose. Minging. Might try a shorter bar while I am at it...

Ta Conor. Soz for hijaking another thread peoples. I should get the best Spammer award!!

[very_special]

It may well be my schoolboy temperament but the last 6 posts or so have been amusing me greatly, I do apologise. :oops:

[rusty66]

Keiran I am glad my talk of tongues and balls has amused you..

Dear holy hell...I need shot for typing that. But hey, I am here all year folks ;)

my rntbc:

aside from the fact that I have an abstract to write and a letter of appeal, and that neither really matter cos ill be forced to leave college anyway... aside from those reasons.. and aside from the fact that i wasnt going to come in today until I remembered lying there in my cosy bed that my new housemate couldnt get to work unless I went it.. only to find that she was being collected this morning so I could have stayed in bed... ignoring all that...

i walk out my front door to find a half dead rat on my door step.


next door's cat likes me.

or so it seems.


ggrrrrrrr is all I can say.

I don't really know if this goes under RNTB but there is no "I really wish I hadn't said that" thread so...

Me last Friday on my practice placement in A+E-

"Your in good hands" to guy with a degloved finger.....*doh*.

[rusty66]

what is a degloved finger???

[thesneakybandit]

it sounds like a horrible euphanism :roll:

[very_special]

Scott is right Sian, it's a less gory term for a nasty hand injury, usually involving a ring finger. Not for the faint hearted, I'll let Ro go into further detail if required :oops:

[Flackmeister]

A picture would be good :twisted:

[rusty66]

WWWAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!


why why why why why did I google it????

[very_special]

lol, curiosity got the better of you Sian!

I did try to warn you with phrases like, "nasty hand injury" and "Not for the faint hearted".

So yeah...Picture the scene...

First night at a LOVELY hotel in town, first couple came in, wanted 2 gin and tonic...I get them their drinks, put them on a tray, lift the tray...turn around and drop the tray!

SMASH :!: everywhere!

Thank God I wasn't fired and I have the nicest manager in the world who just laughed and said he expected it from me! hehe!

So must for first impressions, eh?! :roll:

[Guinness]

See when you told me that last night, I couldn't do anything but laugh!

I just knew it was going to happen at some stage of the night... Practice makes perfect eh?!

[Fintan]

Thank you for that!

So much faith you had!

What's your name on bebo?

Thats it! haha!

I give up, we will never get the truth out of claire it seems

[Fintan]

Pffftt...

For the record it used to be 'Claire McClumsey' Cause I am a tad clumsey...

Et Voila...it is all explained

[brianmcf]

Mind what you say there claire! Or should that be 'trish'? You'd be amazed at how sneaky you can be with google :wink:

[PD]

Scott is right Sian, it's a less gory term for a nasty hand injury, usually involving a ring finger. Not for the faint hearted, I'll let Ro go into further detail if required :oops:

Ro will not go into further detail, as Ro had to put up a mental block while carrying the degloved thumb in a bag of ice down to X-ray....

Poor guy though, he actually was quite calm but I'd say it all hadn't really sunk in. I mean he was asking me did I get any Christmas hols and all that, I was talking to him to try and distract him from the whole horrors of it all. He was Russian so we got our Russian security guard to translate everything for him which def helped. It is amazing what plastics can do for patients these days though.

[brianmcf]

I've just eaten so I'm not gonna google it but does it involve separation of flesh from bone without breaking the skin? If so that's exactly what my boss did trying to take a particularly stiff tyre off a bike wheel with his thumbs.... arg! :!: :!:

[Fintan]

Mind what you say there claire! Or should that be 'trish'? You'd be amazed at how sneaky you can be with google :wink:

haha Ooops! I should...the wonders of the internet! Well not at least you can enjoy my Duke Special photos I have up! :wink:

[brianmcf]

Cheers :D

It is funny to see photos of people in normal situations rather than the hand-picked ones they show on forums :oops:

[Fintan]

'Normal situations' hehe! That's if you could call them normal! :roll:

But yeh I completely get what ya mean! :)

[PD]

Onefreeman, the skin is broken, it's basically separated from the bone. Sometimes it is still attached to the end of the finger, sometimes it's completely detached as it was in this case...*shudders*, which makes things difficult for reattachment. It's not pleasant. The main thing is just to provide pain relief, comfort and support to the patient before surgery. But all in a days work.

RNTBC- My house was taken over by team testosterone last night, my little bro had a house party....sink is full of dirty dishes, stains on the floor etc. He is now in bed and I wonder who has to take responsiblity and clean up.... :?:

[rusty66]

Team Testoterone!! I love it!


my rntbc: I asked how my housemate was when she came in from work....

I got TEN MINUTES worth of moan in return. :smt015 :smt021 :smt100

(i am hearting the extended list of smilies I had no clue existed!)

[Guinness]

Bet she reads the forum....

:P

Sorry to hear about the house mate thing Sian!

my rntbc: my supervisor who just wont let me find any pleasure in life anymore... everything is totally crap right now... i remember when life was fun... PRE PHD! I need out

Well after I found out she was using my laptop when I wasn't in the house, now that I have changed the passwords she'd have a hard job! ;)

[arginite]

job hunting sucks

:smt091 :smt010

[Fintan]

Katiec it does indeed... Talking of jobs...

My RNTBC (for the weekend):

The In-balance my body must have, as just like the first night of working there were a few accidents!
*I dropped a pint of Foster's on a fellas knee...(wasn't too impressed to say the least)
*Walked into a fella who was carrying a tray of 4 champagne flutes and 4 bottles of Stella
*Dropped a tiny bottle of tonic water onto a glass table and shattered the glass at the top of the table...

So I think Conor was right about me being clumsey and it doesn't appear to seem the 'first night nerves'...

[missbee100]

I can just see the whole thing infrot of me now ... :D

[arginite]

aawww Claire!! im sure its not that bad... prob just nerves... you are probably so worried about it happening that you stress about it, just go in and say to yourself that you can do it, and if something falls its no big deal, the less you stress about it the easier it will be!!

best of luck hun xx

[Fintan]

Almostfamous: Ahh seriously was so embarassing!

Katiec: the thing is my manager is a wee dote and was all ''you're brilliant at carrying the ashtryas and nuts and olives and you can run about no problem and are a really good at going over and making people feel welcome and talking to them but as soon as you put a drink on your tray you just look so worried!'' <-- probably because of what has happened! I took a tray home with me so anytime any of my family want a cuppa or a drink I'm getting it for them carrying their drinks on a tray to them! hehe...got some wierd looks from them at the start but if it's going to help them all the better!!

Thank u!! :)

[very_special]

He He Claire, sounds like you were particularly accident prone during the weekend.
I like the way you've taken your work home with you though, that shows real dedication :wink:

How can mothers disguise the most hurtful, scathing and cutting remarks as things that you "should be aware of...only in your best interest".

Yes, actually I am aware of the state of my life, I do not need you to constantly point it out to me...over and over again. And then she wonders why I don't go home more often?!
:(

[brianmcf]

I start back to uni in just over 8 hours and I'm still wide awake :(

Sian, today must be the day to argue with parents then! Cheer up though it's not all bad - less than a month to the Duke's gig now :oops:

[rusty66]

Families eh? The friends and enemies God chooses for us ;)

I was supposed to start back to uni in 7 hours...but thankfully checked my email and my module is cancelled and have been placed into another shittier one that I dont wanna do. At least I have tmoro off.

Good luck tmoro Niall.

[brianmcf]

Cheers sian... hope the new module is at least a bit interesting.

And yes, I should have been asleep by now. Oops :(

[Fintan]

my module is cancelled and have been placed into another shittier one that I dont wanna do. At least I have tmoro off.

Is that why you were walking round J-town at 10.10 this morning Sian! :wink:

[rusty66]

woo Claire can quote properly now!

No the reason I was left wandering is because stupid other module was cancelled too but no1 informed me. I got up at SEVEN O CLOCK (ive not seen that time in weeks!) and went to class, no-one there. went to the lecturers office. she didn't know anything. she's not teaching it. doesn't know who is. FFS!

Also got my dissertation proposal mark back. It is a high 2:2 but thats not good enough. Its given me a kick up the arse. Need to up my work. But it's all good!! :)

[arginite]

got an email last night about my appeal that left me crying myself to sleep, which hasnt happened for about 7 years. things are incredibly grim right now.... and... i think i have the flu... and i really wish i stayed at home at the wkend, and not done silly things, and i cant get over to join the rest of my family to see my new niece.....

actually in short, i have NOTHING to be cheery about right now,.,.., cept maybe that the album i preordered from Play has just arrived, but thats not even cheering me up.

[Guinness]

Yes thank you to all who were involved and make the night a great success.

It was brilliant and the "special" people that were there also put that little something to the night when it was just starting to get settled down.

Thank you to Scott, John and Chris for doing such a fantastic job with the sound and music. You guys where great!

So my initial plans for Nairobi are now scuppered. I received the volunteer pack today and its $10 a day for accomdation...No way I can stay longer than 3 months now. So I might just go in Sept and be back for Christmas :( Not perfect but I guess I can work for a while when I get back and then if I want, go back over?? Just means I have to either persuade my cousin to lose 3 months rent, find somewhere else to live in January or pay her for 3 months to keep my room available :(


Why can nothing go to plan?!

[Fintan]

Everything happens for a reason Sian, just remember that and I'm sure it will all work out. 3 months is still a lovely length of time and you will still get the experience. But at this stage it could all change again and for the best. :)
