You know what really grinds my gears?

Why do Irish people say "bye" at the end of a phone call about 5 times getting progressively quicker, and when did this start ?

FFS, Hector on 2FM was on about that a few weeks ago. But it is annoying and I don't think I do it.

Started at the beginning of the Celtic Tiger and became very popular at the top of the property boom. In fact at one stage entire conversations between bankers and developers consisted of the one word, 'buy'.

The price of airport parking. £16 and im only going for one night.
Rip off merchants.

I find that very reasonable. Leave it on the street and you'd pay a lot more.

I would say the same watching on TV, but I'd imagine it's a lot different when you're in that position! While we're on the subject, I think it's a good enough concept for a show, but what grinds my gears is how much Noel drags everything out and makes it out to be incredibly strategic, just open the f**king box and get on with it!

P.s. We're talking about Deal Or No Deal here, right?

Could be worse, it could be Derek Mooney on the other end of the phone only saying it the once.

I thought it was only me. The homosexual Marty Morrissey, without the gravitas.

Em Hardy....the above can be read differently depending on whether one reads it in the context of the quote above it or not. Marty might not be pleased.....he is a ladies man.

No he seems to be talking about Pussys on Deal. It is a show about Wexford hurling.

Ooops - you're right. Just for clarity, then - Marty Morrissey's many remarkable qualities do not include being a homosexual, as far as I know.

(A ladies' man - are you serious?)

Well, for my tuppence worth, you could be wrong. The again, you may well be right. I really don't give a damn as I want to be the one to make the 9,100th  post.
