not to help

[creamponies]

Ok I am doing a course and I got friendly with a guy in my class. Purley platonic may I add. He is hard of hearing and english is not his first language. He can be nice or rude. He walks 8 miles to school and backeveryday as this is his fitness regime. And frequently naps and of course I fill him in. He canbe nice and I did felt sorry for him as my dad has hard of hearing so its tough. But lately he is becoming very disrespectful

the last straw came when he kept sniffing and caught my sleeve of my arm and tried to blow his nose. I gave out to him and he qas like ha ha but your jumper is so soft. Well I ate him I told how dare he

and I dont like it and I didnt like he tried to wear my scarf last week. I told him not to touch my things. And who ever was iny class I said it out straight.

This guy personal hygiene is so bad . Wears the same clothes every dat. I sit beside and a few times he has asked for help.

I just told him im too busy you have to ask some one else I can barly grunt hello to him at the moment

Sorry I didn't see your post there, Great.

Ah. Thanks, just thought it was more of the op's bollocks. I've never heard that.

It's northern irish- like I said up the thread. "I ate him" means "I gave him a piece of my mind"

It's not only northern Irish.

We all use those phrases.

He sounds like an arse, ignore him, blank him completely. Wiping his nose on your sleeve is just gross!

Definitely talk to your Tutor (including about moving seats).

With regard to the pre-diabetes, while it's completely understandable you be scared by it, them finding it now is a really GOOD thing, because it means you're in a position to make the necessary lifestyle changes to prevent things from developing further. If you're in NI, it's worth contacting Diabetes UK for some advice & support (IIRC they, like Asthma UK, have an advice line thing). If you're in Eire, look up Diabetes Ireland. (Of course you might be living somewhere else entirely & just have the speech of a good [Northern] Irishwoman. This Londoner'd no problems reading your posts in terms of dialect, fr'example...)

Hi cream - no, not on any meds. Just have very bad anaemia.

Glad you had it out with him. Just don't talk to him much if he annoying (answer yes, no, I don't know) etc.

thanks yes I'm Irish well spotted lol.
give out , i ate him means
i gave him a piece of my mind.

At the moment im focusing on cutting down on sugar intake aswell but its hard. and to lose weight

I know, I'm trying to substitute chocolate for dates and dried fruit, and it is hard.

I think sugar is an addiction, and the less you have it, the less you crave it.

They say it takes 60 days to form a habit. Seems like an eternity, lol.

"I ate him" means "I gave him a piece of my mind"

I'd never heard that one before and I lived with an Irish women for four years! I like it. Don't think I'd get away with saying it in my accent though.

I used to be really addicted to sugar when I was younger - like late teens - one day I stopped eating sweets and chocolate and cakes etc and I barely touched it for years. I do eat sweet things now but not much. It's true once you get it out your system it is easy to go without. It's hard at first though.

"I ate him" means "I gave him a piece of my mind"

Well, I've never heard that before in my life.

Pretty common useage in n Ireland. E.g. when I was 15 I got drunk and when I came home my mum ate me. Or "your daughter came home drunk? Did you ate her?"

I say it all the time as does pretty much everyone I know.

Where do you live Waltermittythesequel?

"Or "your daughter came home drunk? Did you ate her?""

Oh. I thought it would be "Did you eat her" I have only ever seen or heard "ate" as the past tense of "eat".

Might be "eat" with a strong accent!?

Dublin.

Lol Grip 😂😂😂
