When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Liverpool's defence and defensive organisation.
As well as what AZ said, that really annoys me.
The NFL Draft. I haven't a clue how it works.

The NFL Draft is simplicity itself. What's complicated about that? The team with the worst record the previous year gets the first pick in each round, and the team that won the previous superbowl gets the last pick each round.

Brilliant system
Soccer should adopt something similar

European soccer? Not physically possible. Major League Soccer might be able to manage it.

Or the GAA when it goes professional!!

People still referring to Adobe Analytics as "Omniture." It hasn't been called Omniture for years. Christ!

People being annoyed about things I didn't even know were things.

Is it just me or does Marian Finucane heavily breathe and wheeze into the microphone like a 60-a-day smoker when her guests are speaking?

Hardy

She does  and she is. But  she's permanent and pensionable so no matter how bad it gets she's there until retirement.

There was a lad there before, Cathal McGoilla maybe? He was brutal. I had to turn over. I hate that.

Couples on Facebook having a conversation via comments:

Her: thanks for the date,loved every minute

Him: no probs babes

Feck me you are probably sitting beside each other on the sofa, open you bakes and talk!

Nearly everything on Facebook, especially wishing dead relatives a happy birthday.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Facebook gripes could nearly be a thread on its own.

Irish people dumping rubbish by the road side, in rivers and beauty spots. A lovely river close to my place has an ironing board, car battery, car shock springs, bags of dog shite, empty bottles of beers. If caught these bastards should face a firing squad.

Absolute disgrace. These are your peers, friends and relatives.

I played golf in Omagh last weekend - there's a water tap off the back of the 5th green. No fewer than 5 plastic bottles strewn around the floor.
A walk out through Campsie and the Cookstown road. A full box of lollipops just discarded on the footpath, coffee cups and Styrofoam boxes blowing around. It's ignorance in the extreme.

Couldn't agree more. I'm from a scenic country road near the border, and there are regular illegal dumpings. Couldn't come down too heavy on the f**kers
