If you're on Android try SwiftKey, it learns the way you type and once you've used it for a while the predictions are really good.

My toilet's blocked too, i have no idea what to do with it

I put some soap and hot water in, it just flowed right to the top of the bowl. I'm leaving it til later and if nothing happens i'll have to bail the water out (Gross) and fill it with baking soda/vinegar. argh

Also we are havign a fruit fly infestation. I have been trying home made cures, even used a bit of my wine on the damn things but there are too many

People who use sarcasm to moan on facebook. Or who write 'sigh'.

'I just love it when I wake up at 6am for work and my hangover is still there. Sigh'

Talking about American influences, it does annoy me very slightly when people say 'train station' instead of 'railway station'. TBH i'm probably being petty.

Ever so slightly punctured crisp packets and the stale crisps that reside within.

I've never heard anyone call it a railway station.

On the crisp subject - ready salted crisps annoy me. What's their point? They taste of nothing. You might as well eat paper coated in a load of salt and fat. There are so very many great flavours out there and yet every time you go to any type of social event they only ever have ready salted non-flavoured pointless crisps. I mean why? Why goddammit?! *shakes the world violently*

Are you me? This sounds just like my Summer!

The toilet blockage can be solved with a plunger and a bit of elbow grease. It'll only cost you about £2 to buy a long handle plunger, so you can throw it away later without feeling guilty. Baking soda won't do much, but caustic soda will - I wouldn't recommend that as your first option though, as it can be quite dangerous if anything splashes back on you.

Fruit flies can be caught by half filling a glass with some kind of dark coloured vinegar, then adding about 2 or 3 drops of washing up liquid. Trust me, this works; although you may feel like you're a bit of a mass murderer afterwards.

Ugh, Renee Zellweger's English accent is killing me.

I like ready salted, it's simple

Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds ready salted crisps dull I also don't understand how most people list vanilla as their favourite flavour of ice cream. But at least vanilla ice cream does have some flavour.

My little niece's favourite drink in the whole wide world is water. What the hell is going on there?

4 hail mary's for swearing at an opponent taking too long in chess.
(I don't really hail mary, just taking the mickey and slightly apologetic for being a bad loser- even if the opponent is the other side of the planet)
As you can get guess small things that annoy me- losing at chess.
I give up chess now.

^ I always try to be gracious in defeat, but it's not easy. When I was young I would always win at chess, but I realise now that I was never good, I just had terrible opponents.

^^ It's subjective though, innit?

[iTz0kt0Bu]

^Yes it is. I don't find the same things funny as others and vice versa. But some people are more serious than others, more laid back and so on.

Not sure how you mean subjective there. But that's a good quality to be gracious in defeat. One thing I try to think now is I am grateful for this person to provide me a challenge at the other end. If I was a twat in real life noone would want to play me, so thats where I got to keep working on being appreciative of the opponent. Bloody hard though.
