You know what really grinds my gears?

That once a year sweep really isn't enough to keep the kitchen clean Pints.

Really? I'll pass the on to the housemate.

My nephews use to do it all the time but I found if I beat them with my belt and put them in the cupboard under the stairs they got the message.

Might give that a go....
Why would anyone want kids

So they can use the mother and baby parking spaces.

Well you can get them to do things for you and you could park in the parent/toddler spaces without worrying about getting in trouble.  You can also shoplift by slipping stuff in their prams or pushchairs.  You probably get free money every week for them too.


This will be unpopular but the amount of threads about apparent hot women is becoming very annoying.
Does anyone on this board have sex or are they aware there are porn sites out there?

[Minder]

I have to agree Pints there must be half a dozen threads, i think the Gaa Board is going to go down in a huge w**k fest.

[Tony Baloney]

This is funny as i was gonna start another thread asking if anyone was getting laid as there is thread after thread about sex and hot women! Maybe we're spending too long on here to get any....

That's right. A lot of lads here seem to be expert at the oral sex - i.e. talking about it.

LL, next time, when he poos, dont change him straight away, give it a few minutes.
Being and expert dad  I find they like to take their time over it and are in no rush to get it all out in one go. Plus, if a boy, and you open the nappy during, you could well get a face full of wee!

Incidentally, thats a 12 hour shift so far, u sure u aint in the ma's upstairs room 

You seriously don't see what a self righteous hypocrite you are - it's laughable.

Just saw this post now, very bizarre.
I dont claim to only post from work, I make no bones about saying I post from home occasionally as well (but not my Ma's house) 

So how does suggesting you also post from home make me a hypocrite?

People who make no sense, they grind my gears

...."Going forward".

Jesus f**king Christ, if I hear that expression once more this week I'll f**king deck somebody!!!!!!!!!

On a similar vein, the 'hard stop' has crept into our place.

'Oh, I've a hard stop at 3pm, can we wrap up?'

[Hardy]

One good way to deal with this is to play cliche bingo at meetings. Pick a couple of known offenders and have a competition among a few people (unknown to the offenders) by putting a tick against their name for every "going forward" or "thinking outside the box" or "stepping up to the plate" they come out with. At the end of the meeting say "one further item - the results of the cliche bingo". Gather all the scoresheets, add up the ticks and make a very public presentation (a  wee certificate prepared in advance, maybe) to the worst offender.

Problem is, gobshites like this will probably take it as an honour.

[his holiness nb]

Whats a "hard stop" meant to mean anyway?

I f**king HATE people who say "going forward" and the likes.

[Hardy]

Also - how do you deal with those annoying p***ks who make every statement sound like a question by raising the intonation at the end of the sentence? You know the thing - this week's results are bad? We need to make improvements?, etc.

Maybe you could keep saying "I don't know" at the end of their sentences. When they ask what you mean, say "sorry - I thought you were asking me a question".

Was in a meeting once where a dick came out with "ok people, lets run that up the flag-pole and see what happens".

I didn't know weather to slap him or point and laugh at him.
