Bad beat/Moan/Venting Thread - BBV Archive 1

[NewApproach]

Fcuking doctor had to wait until 9pm to come in and tell me I wasnt going home from the hospital (and theres me all packed ready for road). So not only am i gutted to now miss the IPB game tomorrow, but she also tells me that theres absolutely no way I'll be going to malta next week for the EMOP. Theres just no way of describing how disappointed I am.

Really bad to hear Connie, hope you are better soon.

Another query for the BBV.

I will possibly have a medical next Wednesday for a job. I'm getting the fight on the box tomorrow night and having a game of cards after it with a few lads over.

A couple of them always enjoy a few "smokes" during the game and sometimes the room gets a bit cloudy.

As its passive smoke should I worry about this affecting the results of the medical?

Careful now

But you didn't do that for the 3rd one?

Or the 4th due in January Time for some surgery otherwise I could write my own version

[bantee]

You will have levels in your body as a result of it but it won't be close to enough to fail a drugs test if that's what you are thinking about.

To be honest I'm not sure why anyone would consider it a stupid question one way or the other. This very question has been the subject of a variety of scientific studies over the years.

Thanks hotspur, thats exactly the constructive answer I was looking for.

Probably should have googled it to avoid certain people lurking in the long grass to give a stupid one-liner in a thanks-whoring attempt.

Or the 4th due in January Time for some surgery otherwise I could write my own version

O right i assumed it was 2 and one due...

[Morihei]

Honestly, its a genuine question. I sometimes feel stoned from spending a few hours in the room with them.

Do you just think its stupid because yes it will show up, or "no you imbicile thats OMG LOL you tard for thinking that it would!!!"?

Edit: actually Morihei, do you know me personally as I just looked back at a rulings thread I made and it was full of smart/snide comments from you?

Never intentionally smart/snide, Just to the point... sometimes via an adventurous route.

Your question just made me laugh... (you could wear a painter's mask for the evening to be safe)

Good luck with the job.

Ok appreciate the well wishes but just thought your comment was a bit OTT.

Ok appreciate the well wishes but just thought your comment was a bit OTT.

Are you going up to the IPB game tomorrow Bantee?

[dannydiamond]

Well man up the fuck with your girly flu and your 500 large and i will see you in the pub tomorrow

I'm not feeling too bad at the mo. 80% to be heading up.

I'll see in the morn, but i'd be def interested in your thoughts on how best to approach the ever increasing questions from my 8 year old about all things birds and bees!

2:30 in the Belvedere I believe.

Not sure what history you two have but I didn't read his comment as snide.

I read it more as 'Jaysus, don't be silly', if there's history though it reads totally different.

Anyway, whatever you do, make sure you....

Are you going up to the IPB game tomorrow Bantee?

No can't make it this weekend but hoping to get up to Galway in a couple of weeks.
Are you playing? GL again if you are!

I'm donating yeah. For the IPC? Might see you there so.

Yeah I s'pose it might've been, I know you're excited about your new path an'all, but go back and reread my original answer and consider it a reply from someone who skimmed past the inverted commas around the word 'smokes'. Kinda changes the context d'you think?

[bantee]

Sorry but after reading his comments before, I didn't see it in the same light as yourself.

Either way I'll be getting pissed, at least I know that'll be out of the system by Wednesday

[Opr]

People aren't being asked about their level of happiness, they are being asked how they are feeling right now on a negative-positive scale of 0-100. So they being asked about current positive emotion, not the more complex and multifaceted concept of happiness.

Within positive psychology happiness or well being is considered to be a founded on these pillars:
[IMG]http://positivepsychologynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/life-well-lived-map.jpg[/IMG

So while you are correct that asking people about their "happiness" without operationalising the construct would lead to arbitrary and not very useful answers it is important to realise that this is not what people are being asked in this study. They are being asked to rate how they are currently feeling. Positive emotion is just one component of happiness. But this is not a happiness study.

In respect of the discrepancy I mentioned between how much people think they tend to enjoy something and how much they actually do in the experiencing itself I think it's important to understand the differences between memory and experiencing as explained by Daniel Kahneman here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgRlrBl-7Yg

I still think that the number given by people about how positive they are feeling isn't all that useful. I mean generally if I am after coming from the gym the number I would give to stuff I am doing after this will be high but not caused by the activity. The base level at which I am setting my scale will be different from week to week. Maybe I am just more receptive on a given day and reading a book makes me feel really positive or maybe I am trying to force it and this leads to me not enjoying it, even the book itself will influence the amount of positivity I give for the activity.

I agree fully about the difference between memory and experiencing but I don't think that study gives any meaningful data towards anything.

Nothing to do with excitement, just wanted to know whether or not to ask the lads to stand outside the back door or just to tell them work away

Ok I'll drop it now, confusion over.

Which comments before? Refresh my memory.

Is the above the smart/snide kind of thing you're talking about?

Man up dude.

Just thought it was a bit of a coincidence that's all. As I said, confusion cleared up so lets leave it at that.

Edit: BTW, I knew I recognised your username from a previous comment but had to check it up. Nothing to do with "manning up".
And obv a comment which reads "the silliest thing I've read all year" is going to get someone's back up

Workplace ettiquette.
When your having a slash in the urinal versus someone simultaneously finishing in the bog surely its an unwritten rule for the player in the bog to wait a few seconds to let the urinal user leave before exiting the bog?.
Whats with these people who come out contending the handwash and hand dryer before time with the more sanitary urinal user.
Seems to me they are advertising they had a sh!t and are proud of it.

Getting close to that stage myself Danny. Was in the car last week with the 2 kids and someone pulled out in front of me and i had to jam on and forgetting about the kids, i called them a stupid cnut.

Dropping the kids over to their friends house tonight, and someone in a hurry nearly took 3 cars out of it at the roundabout so i said "That idiot could have killed someone"

So my 8 year old says "Dad, what didn't you call him a stupid cnut. What's a cnut anyway?" Before i got a chance, my 10 year old pipes up "It's a womans vagina. I heard someone saying that the baby came out of her cnut" "

I have absolutely no idea where she heard that but had to nip that language in the bud asap!

[oleras]

latest Fringe. Excellent, best so far all season.

Going by the writing on the outside of the piece of the machine the dug up, burried millions of years ago by "The First People", do we assume their ancestors are the Observers ?

I'm surprised you're even able to use a shared urinal. Thought you'd have some private arrangement, with someone to shake it off.

paper towel dispensers ftw, far more hygenic, and i also open the door with spent paper towel, rather keep it my pocket till the nearest bin or the next time i use the loo then be touching the door handle.

It's getting close now, gonna have to throw him a bone shortly, he's getting curious. My lad's well aware of 'boobs' ladies 'front bums' , 'how the fk does a baby squeeze through the front bum' and he's not buying the 'when a man and a woman love eachother....' for much longer.

The Belvedere for you me and Fran tomorrow for a brainstorming session I think.


The road rage stuff is funny, I jammed the brakes going around a roundabout this morning and my 8 year old got in before me and piped up 'look at that fkin clown!'
I've got to learn to be cool with the kids in the car!

[rounders123]

Yeah but you have to act all professional and expediant when someone comes out of the cubicle. I feel vexed and confronted when this happens.
Turning the tables i gave some guy so much grace recently when i was in the bog because the guy around the outer urinals wasnt going away by the sounds. I came out and there he was shaving ffs!. Some balls eh!.
I came back later at theres stubble all over the sink, didnt even wipe it off pffft.

I don't mind that (although I always wait the obligitory time).
I hate it when one of your collegues piss at the urinal and just go straight to the towel, wtf man?? wash yer fxcking hands.
Or the best one, I'm washing my hands and one of the guys come out of the cubicle, he says: "did you see Justyna coming back from her break?"

Justyna is the gorgeous well endowed Polish receptionist and she was wearing a white blouse on a cold day.

I giggle like a schoolboy and say "fxck yeah....I mean wow....jeez....yeah" Do the old universal cupping sign and mention where you could hand yer coat etc.

And he goes " I saw her walking across the yard and I had to go and crack one off"

Where I work and when they had production guys on their break the jacks was like the brass section in the London philharmonic orchestra and the sound of daily mirrors turning over akin to changing the music sheet page. no place for the sensitive urinator unless he had a musical imagination

On the toilet etiquette thingy I think it is really inconsiderate of people when they go into the next cubicle when your dropping the kids off....takes away all the enjoyment of finishing the job off.

Ok conference at 2.30 in the Belvedere with Tony and Danny. Feck I better get to bed soon up for a run in 7 hours

[oleras]

Nah, but we live in different times!

Some things never change though ! All the information children have these days, my young fellow came home with english homework last week, he is in 6th class btw, and it was a story about parents divorcing and how the child felt about it, long way from when we were growing up eh !

Every generation tries to beat the last one, as the song goes...lol

Dont beat them, dont let them sleep after a row without explaining what they did was wrong and how you still love them. Job done.

[40something]

Hard to believe my two lads are 4 and 8 on Sunday the years are flying by to quick.
I better not be hungover on Sunday from the IPB poker/drinks.

My 2 lads are 5 and 8, we should have a beer and a chat Fran, we can compare notes! .
