Absolutely.
Another one is calling someone who's pregnant "glowing".

:-\ The Ulster Scots ad on the radio
What station is it on?

I remember Frank Mitchell ruining some Ulster Scots balloon on the radio about 5 years ago. It was painful.

U105 i think i've heard it on.  Ulster scots ad that i can completely understand, not a bother. I will have to add that skill to my CV.

Let a woman in in front of me in the shop there (only 1 till) . I was standing holding a single item. She takes out her lotto book, jammed packed with scratch cards etc, took 20+ mins.

Not to be a sexist pig but women are ducking shocking for faffing around at tills, atms, self service tills, petrol stations (parking at pumps when not getting fuel) etc

If I was holding one item I wouldn't be letting anybody in in front of me. In fact I seldom let anyone in front of me no matter how much I have or how little they have. I've been waiting longer than them and I have a family to get home to where there's always something needed done. I just keep my eyes in front and never look back or let on to myself that I know they're only holding a handful of items.

I once got stuck behind an eternal transaction in a supermarket once when they were dicking around with coupons. Took about five minutes to pay for everything after it was scanned, but they saved a decent amount of money. I'm glad I wasn't in a hurry.

I prefer the shops where they have a bank-style queue management system and you go to the next cashier that's available. I don't know why they never brought it in for supermarkets, maybe they think it'd take up too much room or something, but sure they could make a packet lining the queue route with impulse buys like sweets and minerals and magazines and what have you.

You need out of an awkward junction.

I've analysed it over 15 years and only 3% of female drivers will let you out. They're ruthless. 27% of male drivers will.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

3% is very high
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

They're friendlier in South Antrim.

She was early 60s I'd say, gave me a nice smile as she walked towards me, about to queue up behind me + she didn't have anything in her hands, just that fecking big handbag which held the lotto folder!  ;D

They stand for 20 mins in a queue but only start searching for their bank card/ money etc once they get to the till  ::)
