But NFL Pre Season is back, and College Football soon will be. Every cloud.....

Can't stand NFL pre-season...

I meant it's Pre-Season, so the regular season is soon :)

Labor Day is the start of all things football...Sports Illustrated have the college football preview this week, so that's my weekend reading sorted.  USC on the cover, by the way, so they are automatically favourites/doomed.

Big Hype for Sam Darnold. We'll see. Hard to see USC as favourites for everything. Alabama, Ohio State and Florida State at least must be more likely.

The Facebook comments under any article posted by an Irish news outlet no matter how positive the story. All-Ireland champion whingers the whole bloody lot of them.

NFL pre-season or not, the Browns won a game. Livin' on slim pickins.

Painting ceilings. Nothing worse.
I was wrong there is something worse.
Glossing doors and skirting boards is worse.

Actually the worse thing in the world is taking out/putting in kids car seats in 100 degree heat

Why did they call the Germans in tanks 'pansies'?

Wallpapering a ceiling isn't exactly a barrel of laughs either.

Laying down at work today because my bad back was playing up and then getting my leg trapped against the table a wall in the vacant office. Then the University girl on a year's placement having to free me from it.

That kinda grind my gears today.

People saying "laying" when they mean "lying." You lie in the present tense, you lay in the past.

I seems to be almost universal in US speech to use the transitive 'lay' (to lay something down) for the intransitive 'lie'.
Present tense, 'lay', past tense 'laid'.
I am laying down. I laid down yesterday.

Lay down the law, Hardy.

Was just givin off about painting there, I can do a fair amount of things round a house with pleasure but painting drives me up the wall (if youll pardon the pun)

I like painting. It's the preparation and cleaning up I hate. :)

That bollix' hasn't got laid since 1999.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

People talking about Dublin trump.

I swear to god it must make up >40% of all current affairs radio chatter. There seems to be no place in the western world where you can be forced to observe updates on his latest musings. I'd actually move to North Korea or somewhere equally remote and subjugated (like Cavan) to just enjoy one week without hearing the f**kers name.

I've no problem with reports linking him to possibly ending the world with a nuclear war as i can see it's relevance  ;)

There does however seem to be an over facination with all things he says and does from people over here.
