Last year we paid €25 ph. If you requested one on one it was €40 but we were never charged that even when because of drop outs my son was the only one there for a while. They took place in a rented space in town, If the next class turned up early or were running late there was a waiting area so...

People who wear scarves indoors. Not small decorative scarves but full outdoor winter type scarves, in a warm airconditioned office! people who insist on sitting by a window who then refuse to allow the window to be opened.

My mother in law became ill around this time last year and spent several weeks in hospital. She was eventually diagnosed with bowel and lung cancer in November last year. She is still waiting for a prognosis or any idea of how they are going to treat her. she has always been a fairly active...

The River Lee and Lancaster Lodge are about 15 minutes walk from the city centre. They are practically next door to each other and both get mainly excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. I haven't stayed in either but am booked into Lancaster Lodge in a few weeks time, based on location as I find it...

Certain work colleagues of mine who never stop complaining about their lot. they have their health, a secure job ( company is expanding) are paid over the average for the work we do, excellent pension, excellent working conditions, in terms of actual office facilities ( we all have a large...

Ha! that remind me of an ad a few years back for some lady's moisturiser that was " scientifically formulated to include aquaspheres"

People who think it is ok to steal the freshly bloomed daffodils planted at the entrance to our estate:mad:

I have recently started a job where most of the people in the company are significantly younger than me. On my department the nearest to my age is 8 years younger, the furthest is 20 years younger. One thing I have noticed is the younger ones have no concept of the value of money. They complain...

I am already seen as weird because I choose to eat my lunch alone in peace rather than sit 15 round a table designed for 6, bitching and moaning about how hard done by I am. I am simply relieved to have a job and will be doing my utmost to keep it.

It is not just in the trades. Lack of skills and pride seems to be common now. I have been fortunate to secure a permanent job recently and I alternate between shock and dismay at the shoddyness of some of the work that I see. Most of the people where I work got their jobs in 2007/8, fresh out...

Front seats in economy should definitely be fixed so as not to recline, if you are quick enough to get these seats there is plenty of leg room to stretch. I spent almost all of a flight home from NYC on the second row behind a girl who reclined ther seat the moment we were airborn and had to be...

Companies who idea of "next day delivery" is actually a week tomorrow....

I wouldn't go as far as hating it but I do dislike the forced cheeriness, the expectation that everyone should be whooping with delight at the sight of a bit of tinsel. I just wish people would consider that it can be a dreadful time of year for others. My father in law passed away 25 years...

I have only started at the company. The "official" do is this Friday, completely free. I have heard several people have already dropped out after learning the Big Bosses were coming down from Dublin and staff have been instructed to kerb their behaviour! We are being given a 2 hour lunch next...

I can ask for you....;) Talking to colleagues today about the whole meowing thing..it seems she barks from time to time too. ( I have already heard her making vroom vroom car noises) Very odd woman!

The woman next to me at work Cannot sit without making noise...not just talking, but grunting, sighing, humming, wailing and most oddly, meowing! People who spray deodorant on their armpits while sitting at their desk. (i am requesting a seat move today)

People who suddenly decide to start looking at the same thing as you in a shop then shove you out of the way...this happened to me 3 times, same woman in Boots today, while looking at hair dye, foot creams and aftershave. Queuing for 20 minutes in a shop to pay, it's less than 4 weeks to...

I can understand that too! Anyway back on topic.... When you start a new job and are learning so much, writing everything down but still make a mistake, instead of explaining what I did wrong and offering to explain it, colleague goes complaining loudly to manager about having to sort out "the...

I have just gone back to work after 7 months of unemployment so maybe my tolerance of people is low! But, Lunch at your desk is only ok if everyone else is supposed to be on lunch at the same time. At my place we have a split lunch shift so while I am working the woman next to me is eating her...

No, I should have been clearer, you see these people are making a point of "working" through lunch, even though they have to stop to make the food and eat it. It's not a place where everyone goes to lunch at the same time so it's not exactly a quiet place to eat and relax. And as for people...
