Anytime we have a spell of good weather the papers always have a "hotter than (insert in city) " . So what.

Similiar to the obligatory reference to the play "The Field" pretty much  anytime there is a discussion about Irish opinions on property.

When a team wins a match many headlines go with they 'ease' past someone else.

v. eased, eas·ing, eas·es
v.tr.
1. To free from pain, worry, or agitation: eased his conscience by returning the stolen money.
2.
a. To lessen the discomfort or pain of: shifted position to ease her back.
b. To alleviate; assuage: prescribed a drug to ease the pain.
3. To give respite from: eased the staff's burden by hiring more people.
4. To slacken the strain, pressure, or tension of; loosen: ease off a cable.
5. To reduce the difficulty or trouble of: eased the entrance requirements.
6. To move or maneuver slowly and carefully: eased the car into a narrow space; eased the director out of office.


Hard to see how any of the above apply to a full blooded championship, Heineken Cup, 6N or equivalent game.

These absolute scumbags make me feel sorry for Brian Cowen. And that is saying something.

I suppose we can thank the likes of Paul Murphy and the Shannon Airport invaders Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, for teaching stupid people that behaving like a sc**bag in public is a good idea.

They even recorded themselves and put it up on the net.

The guy calling him a sc**bag sounds like a right sc**bag himself.

it makes you wonder what goes on in people's heads that they out that video up like it was something to be proud of. Reading the comments below the video it seems this was a watered down version of a longer more abusive tirade  :-\

The announcement: "We're pregnant."  Drives me f***ing insane.

Is it just me or have supermarket self checkout machines (I'm looking at you SuperValu) changed over the last year to ensure they do this? I used to dump all my change into them as payment and would get some convenient coins back but doesn't work any more.
