Eejits who park their car, go into the shop, pay for their car wash, come out, go to their car, drive it to the car wash queue and then complain when sensible people who have done the sensible thing are ahead of them in the queue, as if it's not their own fault.

A fella did that on me where he parked next in the queue and then went and paid so I reversed into the carwash and then got out an went and paid.  When I came out again I put the toekn in and sat on the wall reading the paper until it was finished then jumped into the car as if I hadnt seen him.

Ok so almost 35 million people of Irish descent are Americans which equates to 12% of the US population. That is also 9 times more people who live in Ireland which is only 4.1 million.

Again Ziggy you are correct, yes the internet was used for the military and univerities.

IBM started email.

Tim Berners-Lee brought the world wide web to what it is today, but again the Americans started this technology.

Its like the person who invented sliced bread compared to the person who invented bread.

Add this to the fact that I travel to the Dubs games with a large gang of lads who like to leave the pub 15 mins before the game with a 10-15 minute walk to the stadium. I do be a nervous f**king wreck!

I hate that too, if you don't want to limit yourself to a pint or two why do you say you're going for a pint or two!
Members of my family are desperate for "will you give me a hand for five minutes" it actually means half the day WHY DON'T YOU f**king SAY IT'LL TAKE THAT LONG!!!!!!

I am time obsessed.  I need a precise time for everything! If you say you're coming over to me I don't want to hear "after", "in a while" I want to know the time! and if you say "in a hour" I expect you to be here 60 minutes from now otherwise you are late!

Quinns in Drumcondra grinds my gears, or more importantly the fools who have to go to it every match day in Croker >:(

It seems that for every single Louth game in Croker when the lads come up from  the club there is only one pub they can go to...
It is fu%^ing carnage in there yet the boys insist on going there. You may as well stamp on their forehead "Up for the Day" as they file in. I wouldn't mind, but the worst culprits are the ones who should no better (ie they used to actually live on Dorset st in college years)

Post by: Lone Shark on June 20, 2007, 03:53:21 AM
Giving out about the yungwan could turn this into a longer thread, but it's where gears get ground....

(1) She decides every so often that she wants to go to a match. I'm largely indifferent as to whether she travels along or not - it's not like we'll be nipping out at HT to relieve the tension or anything - so I don't encourage it, merely offer. When she does decide to go, she thinks it's some sort of favour to me, and in return for this supposed favour, refuses to leave "early" i.e. any time other than how long it would take to travel to the ground if there were no traffic, no queues at the turnstiles and it was midnight. The game is throwing in in Tullamore at 3pm (20 mins away at 3am on a Saturday night) and if I want to leave at any time before 2.35 I get a barrage of moaning about how is it not good enough that she's going without having to sit in the cold for fifteen minutes. (I'm aware of the mathematical incongruity....) Suggesting that she doesn't have to go gets met with the inevitable carnage that is "so you don't want to spend time with me??" extravaganza.

I wouldn't mind but for last years minor final replay in Ennis we left with loads of time to spare (after I spent a full day warning her of the likely traffic chaos), got trapped in the mire around Gort and ended up missing the first twenty minutes. So she duly had a conniption and couldn't understand why (a) I didn't "make" her leave earlier and (b) I didn't know a magic short cut unknown to the other 10,000 motorists all going the same way.

......phew......

(2) You're going to the shop for a small errand. Ask if she wants anything, and get met with the horror answer - "A surprise!". Now what was a five minute trip to Spar to pick up a paper has become an ordeal, as you go through their entire stock trying to pick out something semi-meaningful/thoughtful that won't get you in trouble. Apparantly they don't mean it literally either - as I found out when I brought back what I thought was a quite surprising litre of engine oil. (I wish I was making that up.......  :-[)

Title: Vatican issues papal bull on driving manners
Post by: Fiodoir Ard Mhacha on June 20, 2007, 09:14:35 AM
The Vatican has issued a set of "10 commandments" for motorists to promote safer driving.

The "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" call on drivers to respect speed limits, refrain from drinking before driving and avoid cursing.

Catholics are also urged to make the sign of the cross before setting off on a journey.

This is said to be the first time the Vatican has specifically dealt with the growing worldwide problem of road rage.

The 36-page document was put together by the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People.

"Thou shalt not drive and drink", "thou shalt not make rude gestures behind the steering wheel" and "help accident victims" are among the 10 recommendations for motorists.

The document also warns that driving can bring out "primitive" behaviour in motorists, including "cursing, blasphemy, loss of sense of responsibility".

It says that automobiles can be "an occasion of sin" - particularly when they are used for dangerous overtaking or for prostitution.

Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the Vatican's council, said it was important to address the issue because driving had become a big part of contemporary life.

"We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads," he said.

Giving out about the yungwan could turn this into a longer thread, but it's where gears get ground....

(1) She decides every so often that she wants to go to a match. I'm largely indifferent as to whether she travels along or not - it's not like we'll be nipping out at HT to relieve the tension or anything - so I don't encourage it, merely offer. When she does decide to go, she thinks it's some sort of favour to me, and in return for this supposed favour, refuses to leave "early" i.e. any time other than how long it would take to travel to the ground if there were no traffic, no queues at the turnstiles and it was midnight. The game is throwing in in Tullamore at 3pm (20 mins away at 3am on a Saturday night) and if I want to leave at any time before 2.35 I get a barrage of moaning about how is it not good enough that she's going without having to sit in the cold for fifteen minutes. (I'm aware of the mathematical incongruity....) Suggesting that she doesn't have to go gets met with the inevitable carnage that is "so you don't want to spend time with me??" extravaganza.

I wouldn't mind but for last years minor final replay in Ennis we left with loads of time to spare (after I spent a full day warning her of the likely traffic chaos), got trapped in the mire around Gort and ended up missing the first twenty minutes. So she duly had a conniption and couldn't understand why (a) I didn't "make" her leave earlier and (b) I didn't know a magic short cut unknown to the other 10,000 motorists all going the same way.

......phew......

(2) You're going to the shop for a small errand. Ask if she wants anything, and get met with the horror answer - "A surprise!". Now what was a five minute trip to Spar to pick up a paper has become an ordeal, as you go through their entire stock trying to pick out something semi-meaningful/thoughtful that won't get you in trouble. Apparantly they don't mean it literally either - as I found out when I brought back what I thought was a quite surprising litre of engine oil. (I wish I was making that up.......  :-[)

Women standing at bus stop, bus comes they queue for 10 mins then when they get to the driver, they go searching for purse and pay in coppers!!! You can change bus stop to supermarket checkout.

Also dickheads who don't have change for the bus, and hand the driver a £5/£10/£20 they should be kicked of the bus for being stupid.

American war movies. Bruce willis never gets killed, your man in 24 never gets killed either and is always grumpy.I have a dog and think she hates cats too so we are not alone in the world of cat haters.People that try and rip me off really annoy me, this one told me i would get much better results in training the  dog training if i paid her up front, I told her i thought she was a con artist and she threatened her boyfriend on me, i should have set the dog on her.

People who's friends are married or in long term relationships do the dirt and they think it's ok.

People who watch crap soaps / films etc and see married people or people in long term relationships do the dirt and think that is ok.

What was worse was your one at the till actually served her instead telling her to move it on. Held the whole show up, I only had a bloddy sandwich!! The neck on your one, then when she pays she starts looking for some sort of bloody vouchers and yon dipstick behind the till goes looking for these instead of telling her to sling her hook that there are people behind her who don't have all afternoon to piss about

Women walkers...Why must they walk 5 abrest on a country road and then not get into a single file as a car approaches? Was driving a back road around Dunboyne today when i met 5 women walking all spread out across the road,I had to stop because there was a car coming the other way and then swerve around the walkers they gave me a look then as if i had somehow upset their walking routine......FAT ARSE BITCHES >:(

Also i hate those f**kers who are out walking and walk straight across a entrance to an estate without out looking to see if  a car is turning into or out of said estate,and even if there is a car coming the car is suppose to stop to let walker cross first  >:(

Women golfers...  >:(self explantory the two should never come together golf and women just doesn't work

This one has probably been up already but slow moving vehicles on main arterial routes during rush hours.

Fuckin farmers and builders with their tractors holding up large queues of cars, going at 25 to 30 mph and you can't get by the f**kers and they don't pull in.

I'd bring in a law where any vehicle which isn#t doing at least 40mph is banned from the main roads during 7am to 9am in the morning and 4.30pm to 6pm in the evenings.

I say that every f'ckn day, the selfish idiots, get off the road, nearly got killed last week by what looked like a 14 year old driving a massive bailing machine yoke with giant forks out the front of it nearly as wide as a lane & a half going around those roads along by Lough Cullen & Lough Conn. Also if another person tailgates me. Its probably the most dangerous road in Ireland, and then you have all these idiots on it making it more dangerous, O yea and where are the Gardai the only good bit just after Knockmore the Ballina side, Gardai you should be down in Clydagh Woods near Castlebar, that side road just before the bend at the start of Lough Cullen, at the Pontoon Bridge Hotel, the Pontoon Side of Knockmore, thats where the Gardai should be parked and arrest every last one of them. I really hate the way they are always slowing down on the only little bit of good road, because they know the Gardai are waiting for them, I think the Gardai have the right idea but are parked in the wrong place.

Oh and yeah FS tailgating wrecks my head too. Was travelling from Athboy to Carrickmacross last Saturday with the kids in the car and there is a queue of traffic because of a slow moving car up front, thats fine, its a whore of a road, nothing but bad bends and who the f**k is tailgating me but some idiot on a motorbike (won't say where the reg was from) the impatient gimp starts swerving the bike over and back behind the car. When he is not doing this he has the arms dropped and controlling the bike without any hands (gimp!). He overtook me and two other cars on a continuous white line on a very short straight stretch of road. I was expecting to travell a few miles up the road and find him burried in the windscreen of an oncoming car. I would have tested the brakes on my own yoke only I didn't want him landing on top of the kids, wouldn't have cared about the car, his insurance could have covered the damage.

Women with big cleavage sitting behind you....

QuoteBERLIN (Reuters) - A German bus driver threatened to throw a 20-year-old sales clerk off his bus in the southern town of Lindau because he said she was too sexy, a newspaper reported on Monday.

"Suddenly he stopped the bus," the woman named Debora C. told Bild newspaper. "He opened the door and shouted at me 'Your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can't concentrate on the traffic. If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have to throw you off the bus.'"

The woman said she moved to another seat but was humiliated by the bus driver.

A spokesman for the bus company defended the driver.

"The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing," the spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted because it's a danger to the safety of all the passengers."

I always do similar with the dishes.  Fill a sink of water that would scald you and it's normally too full to put cold water in, I can't get me hand in to let water out either and I usually need a knife or tea spoon that's at the bottom  :-\

I know it's a bit trivial but when your standing waiting to cross a road at traffic lights and you've pressed the button for the green man to come on. While you stand there waiting to cross, why does every person who arrives afer you proceed to press the button 3 to 4 times. Do they really think the people standing there haven't thought to do it already?

"here .......read that"

then he starts to laugh as I start to read and laughs louder when he knows I'm at the punchline  ???

Now I would guess that 90% of people don't find the jokes funny enough to laugh out loud but they do because they have to

people on buses that when you sit beside them they wince and look like you've just slapped them across the face or if you have done something wrong by sitting next to them.
Then also peoples reactions if you sit beside them and you blow your nose, or cough- jeez it winter 9 months of the year in Ireland, flu and colds are always going around.
Plus you have to wear a couple of coats to shield you from the rain or cold, so there is bound to be a bit of a niff from the sweat or drying damp on the clothes - again these folk you sit beside expect folks to be going home on the bus/train etc as if they have just jumped out of the bath.
If you dont like public transport- then f**king walk or take your own car...

People who cough and sneeze in public places without covering up and doing it into a hankie/tissue or something. Where have they been since science discovered the transmission mechanism for colds and flu? Right - coughing and sneezing! Their attitude seems to be "I've got it, so I don't see why everyone else shouldn't have it". Selfish, inconsiderate hoors. There used to be a law against spitting to restrict transmission of TB. Why not a law against sneezing and coughing out into the air we all have to share in a confined space? It would save the public purse a fortune.

The worst I've ever seen was standing in a cue at a Deli counter.  It was a few summers ago and a really hot day.  The fella was rushed of his feet and you could see the sweat sitting out on his forehead.  He goes to make up a sandwich for the person in front of me, puts on those plastic gloves and THEN wipes the sweat of his forehead with his covered hand and dips it in the chicken!

I agree. I hate all this pretentious kissing shite. I never know now who I'm supposed to kiss or handshake at so mostly I just grunt and back off and look very very unkissable (which isn't hard). I see young wans now and they're kissing each other three or four times and making that f****n awful "maw-mwa" sound even when they're just coming back from the jacks.

LOL definitely there with ya on that. Fcuk the handshake even, a little kind of wave type thing is all they'll get from me. Irish people are gone far too touchy feely, it's not good, where's the stoicism espoused by the Irish men of my father's generation?

A smell, a bad cough, sneezing fits, they talk sh*t to me, they have a million bags and I miss my stop when I try to get out past them. It's probably just me though.

took a bus into work today (I remember why only poor people use busses now)
thought of this thread when some guy sat down behind me and started huffing, puffing and then coughed - at least it was into his hankie.

I'm glad everyone was sitting looking up the bus, as if anyone had seen the face of me - irritated- by having to sit amongst peasants

Drinking to excess has to be the most overrated of experiences. When was the last time you woke up the morning after and thought....."Jesus I wish I had a few more halfun's"?

Reading articles in the papers about the "forgotten heroes", ie the Irish who fought in both World Wars for the British (obviously not the Irish who fought for the USA) and how the Irish State has forgotten them. |Meanwhile, the media is(quiet rightly) saturated with reporting of memorials, religious services, openings of new statues etc.commemorating their sacrifice.
Have nothing against these ceremonies, but I object to the political motives (anti Irish Nationalism) which is the real reason for this imo wrong interperatation that the Irish State turned its back on the deaths of the C15,000 Irish from the 26 counties who die in WW1.

Meeting friends of the womans, they all expect a hug and a kiss, wtf? I'm Irish, not Italian, what's wrong with a fcukin handshake???

LOL definitely there with ya on that. Fcuk the handshake even, a little kind of wave type thing is all they'll get from me. Irish people are gone far too touchy feely, it's not good, where's the stoicism espoused by the Irish men of my father's generation? Any fcuker intruding in their personal space better have a good reason, or they were losing the offending appendages/limbs!

New approach is to grab the nearest bag or large object, stand behind a chair or run to the bar to get the first round in. By the time I get back they're finished with the greeting phase and firmly on the way to similtanuously asking what the news is. It's working so far...

Title: Airports
Post by: Orior on August 06, 2007, 10:06:15 PM
I love airport check-in queueing. What a sport!


The Check-in Queue

Choose the shortest queue or the fastest moving queue? It won't matter - you've still got the departure gate queue to contend with.

Spend ages getting to the front of the check-in desk queue only to see a second desk open up.

Remember to smile - you're on your holidays.

Watch people who came in behind you get on the new check in desk before you.

Stay cheerful – you're on your holidays.

Cringe at the sight of owc tops, rangers tops, gold chain necklaces, beer gut hanging out over tracksuit bottoms of tattooed ladies

Choose the same queue as the family behind you with the kids that want to beat your ankles with their trolley.

Last Minute Spending

Stop, relax and take your time because you've got though the check-in process. Curse yourself later for not realising the queue for the departure gate.

Queue for a tea and a sandwich, then stand behind the old lady who wants to pay for her cream scone with loose change. Bitch.

Departure Lounge

Fecking queue at the Departure gate is huge. Panic slightly, but then remember you've dealt with the check-in queue, so this is no bother. You're on your holidays.

Choose to be disgusted at having to buy a plastic bag into which you place your cosmetics. Try not to show displeasure when they confiscate your shaving cream just because it's slightly bigger than the allotted size. Vow not to buy the same in the duty free shop just around the corner. Smile when the woman behind you has to open her case and have some personal electrical items inspected. Step sideways and pretend she's not with you.

Choose to steal metal knives and forks from the restaurant in the departure lounge because your plastic ones were confiscated at the departure gate. Smuggle them onto the plane in case you're attacked by a terrorist.

Boarding Time

Choose the same flight as people who ignore the boarding group call. Its group A first, but group B people will still queue up before the group A people

Choose the flight with people who don't know how to switch off the overhead air vent and end up calling the hostess several times. How can anyone be so stupid?

Choose the seat behind the goof who wants to lean their seat back into your face. Bastard.

Choose the seat in front of the kid that wants to shake your seat. Little git.

Choose to sit beside the guy with sickening body odour. Smelly bastard.

Feck it, choose to stay at home next year.

agree totally.... happened the other night to me. Auld F****r got ten quid out and then got his wife's card out for a tenner for her. This was after studying the screen for a lifetime before he decided what he wanted. It's the same in the supermarket when the person just served insists in blocking the queue by making sure they take their time packing - sheer bad manners. Also, feckers who insist that they leave their receipt in the bank machine so as to show off how much money they have in the bank - I saw one once "available balance - £42,000" - left for show .. there is nobody needs that money in a current account...! move it to savings!!

Never ever stare at the guy in the shop who is alone and very pissed and has lost his shirt somewhere (usually in a row) .... 2.

Why do they have a corner forward marking a corner forward?? Francie or Aaron K would have made far more sense, mind they are probably GPA lads, I think the gaelic players who participate in these adverts have probably sold out.

I pulled into a petrol station just outside Mullingar on the Dublin Road,As i was walking to the shop this f**ker nearly knocks me over in his Merc then proceeds to park in the disabled zone,He jumps out of the car and heads towards the toilet...
Then as i was in the shop queing up to pay said man comes in roaring and shouting why were the toilets not working,It was bad enough that he proceeded to skip the queue to speak to the girl behind the counter but the abuse he gave her was shocking..
I wasn't having any of it so i said to him firstly that i was next in the queue that he just skipped and also was there any need to speak to the girl in that way as it wasn't her fault the toilets weren't working...
Naturally he told me to f**k off and mind my own business and then turned to the girl and said "f**k off back to your own country" and then walked out
What a bastard..I got his number plate but i suppose there is no point in ringing Guards

Then as i was in the shop queing up to pay said man comes in roaring and shouting why were the toilets not working,It was bad enough that he proceeded to skip the queue to speak to the girl behind the counter but the abuse he gave her was shocking..
I wasn't having any of it so i said to him firstly that i was next in the queue that he just skipped and also was there any need to speak to the girl in that way as it wasn't her fault the toilets weren't working...
Naturally he told me to f**k off and mind my own business and then turned to the girl and said "f**k off back to your own country" and then walked out
What a bastard..I got his number plate but i suppose there is no point in ringing Guards


The lengths you will go to LL for a shift.

Did she give you her number ?

My record with them is about hour and half, speaking to 6 or 7 people including someone in wales who couldn't help because our system is not on their computers.  If I ever crack up I'll end up in the nearest BT centre blowing people's brains out. 
I hope to God I see the day when they don't have the monopoly on phone lines and are begging for customers because the c***ts don't give a f**k.

The previous one asked for my telephone number. The last digit is 9 and he couldn't understand me, so I said 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9. I was then informed that 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 isn't a real number!

The number f**king 8 why is it so hard to understand this number???
Like Ziggy i have in a few occasions out of sheer frustration on the phone said to the person:
"now we're talking about a number, right? Yes sir, Now does 8 sound like 1, no,
Does 8 sound like 2", no, and so on till we get to 8 and lo and behold and who'd a thunk it
but 8 does actually sound like f**king 8  AAARRGGHHH
The kicker is that my Home phone # has two of the bastards...... i need to change it ::)

I be over and back to England a bit and the amount of English people (I'm sure it'd be the same with any nationality) that will not even try to understand your accent and what you are saying is unreal!!!
They will hardly wait until you're finished speaking before they say "what"! And you have to repeat the same thing about three times before they can pick it up!! FFS, we are speaking the same language!

  Oh and another one, what about trying to order Ham at a deli counter.
  I wasn't long here and was at the counter in a fairly big super market,
asked the woman for a half a pound of ham and as you say Pints, she didn't even
try to comprehend, i just wasn't saying it the way she wanted to hear it,
needless to say i wouldn't give in and at this stage 6 or 7 people had got into line behind me,
eventually the man behind me had to tell her what it was i wanted.
Stood off to the side and demanded the Manager who in turn tore her a new one in front of all of us ;D

Thats why most of them are thick bastards. Incapable of listening. In my job i speak to Dutch, Belgians, Germans, Scandanvians etc every day, and i have never been misunderstood by them or had to ask them to repeat anything. Yet any of the local lads get a call from our European offices they complain they cant understand them.
Even had the manager of our Liverpool office request to speak to someone else other than me because she cant understand my "funny" accent. If she knew what irony was it would be lost on her.

The best was couple of months ago, in a bar in London (they're the worst) my woman went to order food and only had about 4 words out of her mouth when she was asked if she spoke english!  :D  :D  :D

and there's this one I'd have to speak to regular and I swear to God! every single thing I say she says "sorry" - EVERY SINGLE THING!

Thats right, I do.

Sour bastards grind my gears. Maybe its cos Im generally happy in the mornings. Hate saying good morning to grumpy bastards from derry and lisburn (sorry lads) who just grumble back at you (if you are lucky). Then 4 hours later when Im fucked and their nicotine and caffeine kicks in, they want to talk about soccer.

I don't remember who said it, but for me it's the last word on vegetarianism - why fight your way to the top of the food chain and then eat lettuce?

Also, a great suggestion for dealing with vegetarians is, when they invite you to dinner, ring them the day before and remind them that of course you'll be requiring a nice rare sirloin - same as they'd do to you for muesli and nut pies.

Was out shopping this morning, the fat lazy bestards who park in the Disabled spaces or the spaces reserved for mothers and toddlers. Out of the disabled ones, there are four, only one displayed a sticker, one had a guy reading the paper and his partner arrived when we were there, he helped out with the groceries, nothing wrong with either of them. A people carrier arrived and parked in one of the spaces, jesus it was like the ugly millie sisters on tour, two had jamie bottems on and and looked like over weight umpa lumpas, and the ma, she was worse, like a rollie polly, f all wrong with them, except lazyness I bet..... >:(

That's a lazist remark. I'm certain laziness will very soon be classified as a bona fide (and therefore claimable and treatment-industry-generating) medical condition, like bad behaviour in kids (ADHD), tiredness (ME), overeating (Chronic Obesity), etc.

I think it is ASDA, who are planning on £60 fines for anyone who parks in disabled/mother & toddler spaces & arent supposed to. Great idea
If the rolly polly fcukers would park were they are supposed to they might not be as big

You're a F**king Ass POG. The parent and toddler spaces are wider, so as the parent who has to go doing the shopping with the kids while the other parent is at work doesn't have to beat the shit of the door of the car next to them just so as they have enough space to get their kid into a child seat.

If the spaces are there to allow for more space why not have them at the back of the car park?  Then we can could use the spaces around the doors for disabled people.  In mother toddler spaces I see there's only about two, what use is this?  They're assigned by the shop so they can claim to be a family store or some nonsense. 
I bet not one of you know why there are mother toddler spaces at the doors! 
btw, if I know I've to come out of the shop with a big box, can I park in some "man with big box" space so I've more room?

Billy, you forgot the sweet-wrapper rustlers.

Where did the custom of having to gorge yourself with junk when watching a film come from anyway?

I always sit in the outside seat, btw. I like the sideways-legroom option and the ability to come and go without climbing over people and until now I naively assumed if I got there first it was reasonable to choose my preferred seat - that is if you don't mind too much! But I don't grumble at letting people in and out, though I think I might start if they all so obviously resent so much the fact that I came early and got a good seat!

Was out shopping this morning, the fat lazy bestards who park in the Disabled spaces or the spaces reserved for mothers and toddlers. Out of the disabled ones, there are four, only one displayed a sticker, one had a guy reading the paper and his partner arrived when we were there, he helped out with the groceries, nothing wrong with either of them. A people carrier arrived and parked in one of the spaces, jesus it was like the ugly millie sisters on tour, two had jamie bottems on and and looked like over weight umpa lumpas, and the ma, she was worse, like a rollie polly, f all wrong with them, except lazyness I bet..... >:(
I park in mother toddler spaces all the time, I don't understand why they should get special treatment.

You're a F**king Ass POG. The parent and toddler spaces are wider, so as the parent who has to go doing the shopping with the kids while the other parent is at work doesn't have to beat the shit of the door of the car next to them just so as they have enough space to get their kid into a child seat.

I'm a "f**king ass" because I don't understand why parents and toddlers are given special treatment?
If the spaces are there to allow for more space why not have them at the back of the car park?  Then we can could use the spaces around the doors for disabled people.  In mother toddler spaces I see there's only about two, what use is this?  They're assigned by the shop so they can claim to be a family store or some nonsense. 
I bet not one of you know why there are mother toddler spaces at the doors! 
btw, if I know I've to come out of the shop with a big box, can I park in some "man with big box" space so I've more room?

Now I'm trying to work out if you are trying to wind me up, or if you really are that ignorant.
1. They are parent and cild spaces and not Mother and Toddler (men need them more as woman are vastly more capable of coping with the kids)
2. Is it kids, women or families in general that you don't like?
3. The spaces are their to make it a bit easier when you have to handle a trolley, a toddler and myabe a hanfull of other kids. Just to explain this to you, this is not the easiest task in the world in a busy shoping centre

Long time since I've called anyone names, but you're a complete and utter w**ker pog. Vile human in more ways than one. If you cannot understand the dangers in parents and toddlers, maybe a single mum with 2 or 3, getting out of a car in the middle of a car park full of motors edging in and out, then you're the lowest of the low.

If you want wider spaces to allow for the baby seats than why not have these spaces at the back of the car park?  The back of the car park would not be as busy and would actually help a parent sorting out two or three children before heading to the shop. 
If someone can give me a good reason why they are at the shop doors (using spaces that should be disabled spaces) I'll stop parking in them!

This just sums it up. Because I highlight those who deal in tabloid rumours regarding the McCanns, I now have nothing but understanding for them.

What's the problem there?  Surely in a busy carpark you've little or no chance of getting the either of the two mother toddler spaces at the front doors so you've to contend with normal narrow spaces, sorting the kids out in a busy end of the car park and then walking through it.

Boxing day mornin--finish drinkn 4am--wake up and head to PC World 6am, Q for 3 hours to get one of 10 laptops for £200--a few people in front of me in the Q but i reckon 6 at most due to kids and couples

8:50--egghead comes out from under shutters with 10 goldne tickets for the laptops--front of Q has 2 asian couples(i reckon they will get 2 at most between them) No--we all want one--i start sweatin but think i'll stil get 1--then a few ahead a mother and he 14 tear old daughter both get one--still though im gonna be 10th theres only that man and his 6yo son in front of me and 2 tickets left-what do you think happens--the wee man must have got money from santa for christmas--i nearly threw up there and then-- i was fit to kill someone, soaked, shakin, head spinnin, fuckn ragin
Was "lucky" enough to get one of 10 PC's for £200--carted it home--of course had to but a desk and chair for it then--got home and there was no mouse in it--had to drive 10 mile back to shop--took forever to get up the fuckn q again

PC wouldnt turn on about 2 weeks later--went to PC world--told the power something had gone and i would have to phone the tech guys to come out and fix it--then had to take a half day off work so they could come out and fix it

since then the sound has stopped workin for no fuckn reason--tried everything--bought new speakers-no joy--wud rather buy a new PC than go back near PC world

If I opened my car door and it tapped a car in a space beside me, of course I would go on, what would you like me to do - trace the owner who would get a quote for their whole car to be resprayed.  Worse still are ones who park in the mother and toddler spaces as there is more room there but not a child seat to be seen, these muppets should be clamped.

Just general Saturday Morning soccer players CRYING; to the Ref, to their own team-mates, to their own manager, to the opposition players, opposition managers, anyone watching. Crying about everything under the sun. Moan moan moan.
All this with barely one tackle going in the whole game. they all think they are on Match of the day with the childish tantrums

If everyone parked properly we wouldnt have these problems, but sadly that is never going to happen. I can fully understand why some people in nice cars deliberately park across two spaces. It isnt nice when some kn**ker bangs the door of their shit-heap against your shiny new motor. The biggest culprits are women in Ford Galaxy type cars with a shopping trolly and a few kids. They have no respect for other peoples property.
It isnt a crime to have a nice car, but it is a criminal act to damage someones car and drive on.

Yous should park in them mother toddler spaces, great room to swing the door open.
I dont know why more people don't do it.

I take it you have no kids; and by kids I mean toodlers - hence the name - mother and toodler spaces.  All toodlers have to by law and for safety be in a car seat, not a booster seat a car seat, very very young childern this seat gets taken out of the car and put on the pram - this requires space for the mother/father hence these spaces have the extra room round them.  Even older kids out of these seats need a car seat and invarable cannot walk yet or walk very well so when they are taken out then need to be placed into a waiting pram or buggy - especially if you have other kids to deal with.  People like yourself who selfishly take up these spaces at the expense of a mother/father and their toodler should be clamped and towed away.

I've been through this before but here goes again
1.  I've no children, doesn't mean I don't know anything about babies, toddlers or children.  I'm not going to go into my personal circumances but I know as much about children as some parents.
2.  My main objection is these spaces being at the doors.  Would these spaces not be better used for disabled people? 
3.  I have never seen or been in a parent toddler space that you would have room for a trolly along side the car.  Therefore why would you want to take children/babies out of a car at the most busy end of the carpark where's there's throngs of people, cars etc?

To believe that you deserve special treatment is quite typical of today's generation of selfish parents.

No it doesn't.

An item costs in the shops £10

Postage £3.

Catch yourself on.

If you pay more than what it offered on the streets then you're a fool.

Why would you buy a wireless mouse for a laptop sure you're going to be sitting beside the feckin thing? That's what I thought but the eggheads at PCWorld made me. :'() and it is also hopeless.

People whom wont pull over when holding up traffic. If it's an old person I don't get as mental as I would if it's a younger person. Can they not see that they are f**king holding everyone else up? They are the people who cause accidents, not the lunatic flying down the road!. It leads to road rage. Well in my case anyway.


old people should not be allowed on the road. they should be made to re-sit their driving test at 55 and every 5 years after that

Right click the Pad icon in the bottom right corner of the tool bar, select properties,
from there you have the option to select how sensitive the pad will be to pressure.
You can also turn it off and just use the left button to select.
Of course my system maybe set up different to yours so this could well be utter bollix to you :-\

I will try and explain once again.  For a parent to get a child in and out of a car requires more room than the 3 inches each side of the door in a normal space; the supermarkets, shopping centres further aid the parent and child by having the spaces close to the exits/doors so that the safety of the child(ren) is put first when a parent loaded with shopping and trying to negotiate child(ren) safely into his/her parked car.  I just learned that a clamping system is being introduced by major shopping centres for people who abuse the mother/toddler spaces - lets hope you get clamped [edited by Mod3]

Yes I know why the spaces need to be wider, if I come out of the shop with a big box I could be doing with a wider space but I don't see these popping up. 
They need to be at the doors - for the safety of the children eh?  If a parent can't walk a couple of children through a car park they shouldn't have children!
How do you think a parent with no car does?  How do you think parents that don't get the 2 or 3 selfish parent and toddler spaces do?

QuoteYou are a laughable individual; a complete tool who has no kids and therefore treats mothers and toodlers with complete and utter contempt; bet you made your mother very proud.
I thought it was parent and toddlers  ::)
How do I do that btw, because I happen to think the spaces would be better used if they were disabled spaces?

No I don't park across 2 or 3 of them and I don't get them most of the time, they're usually filled.
If you can manage, then manage - don't be so selfish. 

It's sad you're reduced to name calling (I thought the admin was putting a stop to it?) when you have no argument.
Your edits are so much nicer  :-*

Ah now pints, you can't say there is no arguement for the parent and child spaces, it has been put forward by snowed under, myself and others on this and in fact on a couple of other threads as well at this stage. Snowed under has lost the cool which I have done before with your ignorant manner, that is understandable. But now you are going and telling teacher (you can't go telling mammy as she is parked at the back of the car park), that is a bit childish. Have you reported it yet  ::)

I haven't told teacher anything - I could have reported his name calling but I havent.
You and him have put across some argument about unfit parents not being able to walk through a car park that's not very convincing.

Pints, those mother and toddler spaces are close to the door for a reason. I am sure it could be quite difficult for a woman to load her car with shopping and get the kids into the car if she was on her own.
Nonsense I do it all the time.

Quote
Would you really want to see a woman struggling with a screaming toddler and a busted bag of shopping.
NO course not but I've never seen a woman like that taking advantage of a space.  It's the women that have to walk a mile home with a few children and a couple of bags of shopping that get my sympathy. 

QuoteWould it kill you to have to walk from the back of the car park, or even half way down it?
It might! According to louth exile and snowed under carparks are dangerous places!

Doesnt your Mammy still do your shopping for you? 
No of course not I'm far to old for that.

Not only an ignorant individual but a cyber world freak.  Again, having no childern how can you comment about any parent being unfit if they want to avail of the spaces made available for them by shopping centres which you choose to ignore and selfishly park in.  Hope you get clamped real soon.

I never said the parent was unfit for wanting to avail of the spaces - who wouldnt want to park at the door?
I dont buy this thing that a parent can't walk children across a car park.  As I say, I do it all the time - with children.

And toddlers? As you have no kids I will again explain what that is; a toddler is a child who is totally dependant on others; they cannot walk; cannot talk; cannot take direction; by law and for safety they need to be in certain type of car seat which the parent then attaches to a pram; hence the wider spaces; shopping centres appreciate that the parent may have more than one child and this coupled with any shopping they may purchase is the reason the spaces are near the doors.  It is quite obvious that these spaces and their intentions are treated with pure contempt by yourself; so as I say hope you get clamped real soon.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  Yes I know what toddlers are and have had them shopping too.  Jeeze this high and mighty attitudes some parents have is unreal  :D
Most parents have a push chair or pram for a toddler so there is no issue with walking them across a carpark.
So we're back to the wide spaces which I've no issue it, just put them at a suitable location in the car park and free up spaces at the door for disabled parking.
Do you think, you as a parent, are more entitled to a space at the door than a disabled person?

Absolutely not which is why I would never park in a disabled space.  Do you think as a non-parent you are entitled to selfishly use allocated spaces for mothers and toddlers?

Aside from the fact that they are at the front doors do you not concede that a mother/father with a toddler needs the extra space these allocated spaces provide.  If so your selfish act of parking in them is even more reprehensible.  The parents didn't place tham at the doors the shopping centres did.

POG I will have to agree with u to a certain degree... i don't park in the mother toddler spaces (for fear of clamping or fine lol :D) but do agree that they need bigger spaces to save others cars as much as anything but don't see y they need to be at the door?? much better use if they were disabled spaces.... its simple put the kids in the car seats then unload the shopping out of the trolley into the car job done. I know single parents who don't have a car and manage to walk with a pram and two other young children from the supermarket over a mile home so don't think it would be too much for any parent to walk the length of a car park to a less busy area for safety reasons also. STUCK UP SELFISH PARENTS.. and its not all parents in fact its just a few that kick up a stink to say that they need spaces at the door. There's a lot of parents worse of than u who would be thankful of the chance to use a car parking space at the back of the car park...!


ANother thing that grinds my gears is jealous people who stereotype people who drive nice cars ie bmw's merc's porsche's etc as bad drivers and stuck up people just because they have had a bad experience with 1 or 2 of these drivers or else they are just jealous.

People work hard throughout life to get the luxuries they desire and have lasy arsewits slag them off just because they couldn't be arsed working hard in life to get luxuries they want... not all nice car drivers are the same.. u cant tar everyone with the same brush because of a few bad expeiences or else plain old envy

Hear hear!

You know what else I don't get, maybe some of our parents could explain, the "baby on board" or "child on board" or whatever those signs are that you stick up in the window of the car.  In the name of Jesus what are those for?  What is there purpose?
So people will look at it and say "oh baby on board, now I won't drive into you!"

I don't have any rage surrounding parents and kids (certainly nothing against kids) but selfish parents really get to me.  For example, the ones who have kids for show, the ones who think nothing of leaving them with babysitters while the go to work and then dumping them again so they can go out for the weekend.  The ones who think their children are other people's responsibility.

God of almighty you are unreal.  I honestly think Tyrone's own has hit a nerve, you obviously can't have kids and are a bit bitter or else you totally hate kids.  A few facts; the kid on board, child on board is a bit of a tacky thing most new mums do, friends or family would buy the sign, its tacky nothing more but you wouldn't know as you have no kids of your own.  The leaving the kids while you go to work and then have the nerve to go for a night out statement, shows how your bitter twisted mind works at the fact of either being unable to father a child or just have a loathing for kids.  In today's society it is very hard to manage on a single salary, unless you are earning mega bucks; my wife works part time and every now and again granny takes the kids and we get a night out.  From you're twisted bitter logic we have kids for show, I seriously would love to hear your definition of a parent which would not in away show selfish qualtities based on your very bitter and twisted logic, but which you have no experience of and really are in a poor position to comment.  As I said - you really are unreal.  :o

Do I sound like someone that hates kids when I say "if you have children they should be your life"?
I've no issue with both parents working and then taking the odd night out - it's the parents who spend as much time as they can away from the children I've a problem with. 
the  rest of your post is just waffle.  I've seen you making judgements and generalisations about people on another thread but making assumptions about my sperm count takes the biscuit. 
You think I'm bitter, twisted etc, how many times now that you taunted someone, who you believe can't have children, about not having children?  That's quite a vile thing to do don't you think?

It's a good job I'm not bothered   ::)

God of almighty you are unreal.  I honestly think Tyrone's own has hit a nerve, you obviously can't have kids and are a bit bitter or else you totally hate kids.  A few facts; the kid on board, child on board is a bit of a tacky thing most new mums do, friends or family would buy the sign, its tacky nothing more but you wouldn't know as you have no kids of your own.  The leaving the kids while you go to work and then have the nerve to go for a night out statement, shows how your bitter twisted mind works at the fact of either being unable to father a child or just have a loathing for kids.  In today's society it is very hard to manage on a single salary, unless you are earning mega bucks; my wife works part time and every now and again granny takes the kids and we get a night out.  From you're twisted bitter logic we have kids for show, I seriously would love to hear your definition of a parent which would not in away show selfish qualtities based on your very bitter and twisted logic, but which you have no experience of and really are in a poor position to comment.  As I said - you really are unreal.

Do I sound like someone that hates kids when I say "if you have children they should be your life"?
I've no issue with both parents working and then taking the odd night out - it's the parents who spend as much time as they can away from the children I've a problem with.  the  rest of your post is just waffle.  I've seen you making judgements and generalisations about people on another thread but making assumptions about my sperm count takes the biscuit. 
You think I'm bitter, twisted etc, how many times now that you taunted someone, who you believe can't have children, about not having children?  That's quite a vile thing to do don't you think?

It's a good job I'm not bothered   ::)


That really comes across - from parking spaces to child on board to parents having a night out - its all bitter.

Will Greenwood. What an idiot? If ever a man enjoyed the sound of his own voice. The constant reference to England when Argentina and South Africa was playing was a disgrace. ITV is meant to be for everyone in Britian. If I was Scottish or Welsh I wouldn't be too impressed.

He makes John Motson sound like the bastion of neutrality.

ITV is for everyone in the United Kingdom.  So this Northern Irish man wasn't too impressed either ;)

No, but because a parent parks in a space that is designated for them they are selfish  ??? ???
However its perfectly ok for you to park in this same spot so as you can go in and buy your sweets  ??? ???
I'm confused, but I've really had enough of this argument, no matter what you are determined to have the last word on it pints, so if thats what makes you happy.

You did, as every parent I know with a toddler would avail of the space designated for themselves (by the shopping centre) which you choose to park in out of spite and as a statement of contempt for parenthood.  You did as every parent I know uses the baby on board thingy as it is a tacky thing mums like to do.  You did as every parent I know works and takes the odd night out.

I never said a parent who makes use of the spaces are selfish.
I never said a parent who sticks up a sign in the car is selfish - I simply asked what the purpose of the signs where.
I never said a parent who works and takes an odd night out is selfish - I said that those who spend as much time as possible away from their children are selfish.

This from a person who uses his own children to taunt someone (who he believes can't have children) about not having children.

I tried to draw a line because people are bored, I'm getting a bit bored too. 
To explain the statement, parents who believe they've a God given right to park at the doors of a shop because they have children are the selfish ones.  Of course I don't blame any parent for making use of the space when it's there but it's those that think it's their right to be given special treatment. 
I simply asked what the purpose behind the baby on board signs, hardly a dig at anything.
I have never said anything about parents having a night out.  I don't understand why people have children when they aren't prepared to spend time with them.  I realise parent's have to work but they don't need to go out every weekend and throw the child with a babysitter.  That's selfish. 
You keep saying I don't like children when it's children I'm defending (for the want of a better word). 
I've nothing against decent good parents either, it's the ones that have children and then let a babysitter bring them up I've a problem with.  If you work all day - say get home at 6ish - a child is in bed by 8, so that's maybe 15 hours during the week (say a hour in the morning) you spend with the child.  At the weekend surely you'd want to be with the child and do things they like?

God this fairly got out of hand. I'm a parent and I agree with what POG says about mother and toddler spaces. He never said he didn't agree with them, he acknowledges that parents with prams and pushchairs need that bit of extra space,  however its the location of these spaces that grinds his gears and he's correct.  What about elderly people who might not have a disabled badge but are still quite frail. Surely they deserve precedence for prime spaces over parents and toddlers.  My biggest concern, however, was the spiteful way in which the debate degenerated into a triumphalist 'I have kids and you have none' arguement like something you'd see in a school playground. This type of gloating is pathetic and indeed reflects the mentality of those who put Baby on Board signs on the back of their cars. Its just another way of publicly advertising their virility. For instance how many times do you see blokes walking down the High Street carrying an unwrapped bumper pack of Pampers nappies like some type of trophy? I'll bet if their missus asked them to nip out to the chemist and bring them back a pack of ST's they'd run a feckin mile.

If you read what i said you would see that I asked Pintsofguinness had he kids - when he said no I was asking why he was in a position to judge parents.  With his other snide comments I concluded he was either bitter at not having any or just didn't like kids, it seemed the only explaination.

Going into a toilet only to find some balax hasn't made sure his remains have been flushed properly. Dung and tissue dance merrily in their bowl of romance. You stand there looking in disbelief. You start to sweat. You've already closed the door. You flush. The bastard won't budge. You try it another couple of times. No luck. You walk out knowing it's pointless to, and hard to, explain that it's not yours to the fella bursting to get in. He vaguely knows you. As you find another toilet, you hear 'dorty bastard' from the other cubicle. You're afeard to come out as he'll probably be standing there. Now things take a turn for the worse. Your own remnants won't flush either. You know the same fella now wants into yours cubicle as there are only two. Resigned and stripped of all sense of dignity, you walk out. He looks in amazement at you and enters the cublice. As you hear, 'for feck sake, the dorty cnut' you just lose all pride and shite in the sink.

1. Women giving out about the seat being left up, F up, we don't give out about the seat being left down!
2. Does dirty B******s who don't bother lifting the seat  >:( Was in the toilet in a private hospital first thing yesterday morning, (in other words a decent public toilet, not like Quinns at 7 in the evening on a big match day). Anyway, already at that stage some git had pissed all over the seat because a) he was too lazy to lift the seat and b) he doesn't have enough control of his c**k that he can simply aim into the bowl. So muggins here has to wipe away the piss so I can go for morning manoeuvres!!  >:(

O'Neill, that cubicle scenario was the funniest thing here in a long time.

I also enjoyed the fit parent vs. disabled/old person debate and found myself bemused that POG was labeled a monster for suggesting that incapacitated people have more need to be close to the shop door than fit and able parents equipped with all the necessary tackle and apparatus to transport their kids a few dozen yards.

Anyway, my gear-grinder for today is people who drive into your street/road/ghetto and disrupt the peace and tranquility of the whole neighbourhood by beeping their horns to attract the attention of whoever it is they've come to see. Lazy bastards - have they never heard of doorbells? Often they're young lads calling to pick up their mots, but mostly they're taxi drivers.

And some day I'm going to do an epic rant on indiscriminate sneezers.

I was away and missed it and to my surprise found it so fascinating that I read every word of it this morning. And that's what I took as the crux of it. POG said he couldn't see the necessity for putting parent-and-toddler parking near the door, to the exclusion of additional disabled parking spaces. He also said that, because he couldn't see the need for it he didn't mind using these spaces himself. For that he was attacked and accused of mother-hating, child-hating, and all sorts of unspeakable personal traits. And then he was diagnosed (remotely, online) as being impotent - or was it infertile? A bit OTT, no?

Anyway (not directed at you), I don't understand the tendency of old ladies here to clutch at their collars and declare that this or that debate has gone on long enough. I enjoy the cut and thrust of a good robust barney and I'm capable of deciding for myself when it has gone on long enough for me. Then I'll stop reading.

You see any place that has decent managment won't be worried about a euro here or there (once that is all it is) Is it not more important to keep the customers happy. The best example is where you do a €200 shop in Tesco and they skin for the 3cents at the end of it, yet when you go into the fruit and veg shop and it come to €10.10 they simply give you back a €10 note instead of €9.90 in change. Its simple customer service, margins are not that tight in the retail trade

2 points Hardy - firstly his holiness openly stated there were too many disables spaces!!! and no one took him to task on this - this an individual who flies the moral high horse flag on most all threads; secondly the point is these spaces are allocated by the shopping centre for mother and toddlers.  POG thinks if parents park in them they are selfish - why for parking in an allocated space; yet he is happy to be park in them himself; does that not smart of double standards?  He then had a go at parents for having a baby on board sticker, like ffs if that doesn't say something about the man what does?

I don't think I said parent's who used the spaces were selfish, or at least I didn't intend to, what I meant was, the type of parent's who think they've a God given right to a space at the door of a shop are typical of today's generation of selfish parents.

No, apologies that was not my intention, also if you read through my posts I only ever questioned why you had such a dislike for parents as that's how you came across, my rationale was you had an issues with parents or where bitter towards them, the man now looks bad but it was because a stronger word would get me another exile from the very very inconsistent moderators on this discussion baord.

I simply asked:
QuoteYou know what else I don't get, maybe some of our parents could explain, the "baby on board" or "child on board" or whatever those signs are that you stick up in the window of the car.  In the name of Jesus what are those for?  What is there purpose?
So people will look at it and say "oh baby on board, now I won't drive into you!"
I don't see anything wrong with that.  You said it was just a tacky thing, fair enough. 

And then I went on to say talk about the parents who try and push their children onto a babysitter at every opportunity.  You don't agree that parent's should spend as much time as possible with their children?  (and of course I understand they need to work).

And you have constantly refused to acknowledge your previous posts and like his holiness showing contempt for disabled people and parking spaces you have generalised and shown contempt for parenthood; read over your posts if you have forgetten what your posted.

No you took the allocated parking spaces provided by shopping centres and from that berated parents in general on many levels; the quote that really showed your contempt for parents was trying to make an issue about some poor newly gifted mother for having a sign - baby on board - says a lot about you as a person. ::)

I simply asked:
QuoteYou know what else I don't get, maybe some of our parents could explain, the "baby on board" or "child on board" or whatever those signs are that you stick up in the window of the car. In the name of Jesus what are those for?  What is there purpose?
So people will look at it and say "oh baby on board, now I won't drive into you!"
I don't see anything wrong with that.  You said it was just a tacky thing, fair enough. 

And then I went on to say talk about the parents who try and push their children onto a babysitter at every opportunity.  You don't agree that parent's should spend as much time as possible with their children?  (and of course I understand they need to work).

The manner in which you posted many of your posts and the generalisation and constant reference, to selfish parents shows a complete contempt for parenthood, to try and backtrack and wash over this now is, quite frankly, like yourself pathetic.

Speaking of the times not a-changin, people have awful problems with understanding what's going on. I spent a long time at the weekend trying to explain to somebody from London, who's not an idiot or anything, why it gets dark in London before it does here. "But when it's five o'clock here it's five o'clock in London too".

Another young lad I know (who, fair enough, is an idiot) thought it was an awful shame that we didn't warn New York about the attack on the twin towers, since we are five hours ahead and "knew about it before they did".

I used to have a Quantum Leap website. Someone emailed me after the 9/11 attacks and asked me to get in touch with Sam Beckett. He wanted me to get him to leap into one of the passengers and prevent the attacks.

He was an American.

Educated people who write "I would of....".  It's "I would have", or "I would've".

Australia's increasingly anal obsession with America and so-called "American culture".

English people who expect the Scots, Welsh and Irish to "support" them..."cos we're all British aren't we?"  Yeah sure, like fcuk we are.

White South Africans/Zimbabweans/Namibians who treat non-caucasian Australians like dirt.

Zimbabweans who say they are "Rhodesian".

Knobs who don't slow down coming up to roundabouts.

Knobs who don't signal at roundabouts.

18 y.o. spotty-faced little runts who rip up and down my street at night in their V8 6L cars that Daddy has paid for.

Bogan Aussies, period.

Irish people who say "oh, you're from Northern Ireland".  No you gulpin, I'm from Co.Derry.

Last orders at the bar, you've 10 mins to get a beer, then some gorilla masquerading as security pushes  you mid-drink out the door, saying you should leave....NOW!

I know this has been mentioned before, but people using apostrophes all over the shop indiscriminately. That thread on page 1 about "Drug's in the GAA" is doing my head in looking at it.

A basic starting point rule of thumb is use an apostrophe if someone or something owns something, as in Peter's car, Kevin's cocaine etc etc. OR if a letter is missing, as in You're an eejit, or It's great.

Thanks :D

The ads for TV licence inspectors - has anyone ever actually been visited by the seemingly mythical figures?

Typing something out on the computer and something pops up on screen unnoticed, resulting in a lot of the effort being wasted.

The Equality Authority.

Drivers going at 40mph in a 60mph zone, and refusing to move into the hard shoulder, preferring to have half of South Sligo on their tail, and causing frustration for all.

The quiz shite on UTV every night.

People who don't dip their headlights when meeting you on the road.

I'm sure there's more that I can't think of. A fair few would have been mentioned along the way though.

I think the GPA should be ashamed of themselves they are undermining everything the GAA stands for.  What they are asking for is Pay for |Play dressed up in fancy clothes.

They are an elitist Organisation who are only concerned with themselves and I firmly believe its a case of a few leading the many.

Don't get me wrong i totally agree with players being treated well and looked after if they get injured but they are always looking for more and more.

Currently every season inter-county players in Derry get:

2 pairs of boots
2 full kits a season,
2 full sets of training gear. (1 wet and 1 normal)
1 rain jacket
1 zip up top
1 jumper
2 polo shirts
1 tracksuit
Home training Equipment
Free access to state of the art gym

All the above are official Derry gear from O neills with emblems and crests and this is only the gear I KNOW FOR CERTAIN they get!

Also they have access to a top class physio, team doctor dietician and heart screening facilities.

they receive meals after ALL games and on the way to away games

they get fed after every training

and they also get VERY GOOD rebates on their mileage expenses.

Again these are jut the things i KNOW FOR CERTAIN!!

for each national league game they receive 4 passes each allowing friends and family to gain admission to the games for FREE and the passes can be used for both hurling and football even if only involved in one code.

They receive at least 2 and sometimes more FREE tickets for ALL championship matches they are involved in

They receive 2 good tickets for the all Ireland final in their code (hurling or football) for FREE

Before the club championship begins they receive a pass allowing them to gain FREE entry to ALL championship matches within the county in EITHER code at ANY level
 
The above list was given to me when I asked a PRESENT COUNTY PLAYER from our club about conditions at inter-county level.

I don't think anyone would begrudge them these things as the gear and medical farcicalities are a MUST and so are the mileage expenses and the meals.

The other stuff are added perks and again I would say Just right they are training very hard and giving a big commitment to Our County.

Looking at the list I would say our county players are fairly well looked after wouldn't you? And this is just the example of our county alot of other counties like Armagh and Tyrone get even more gear and perks which again is fair enough.

But to ask for money and to make out that they are so hard done by and listening to some of their leaders you'd think some were hardly fit to feed themselves and on the way to financial ruin is an absolute myth and border line lie!! Nobodies making them play!!!

What ever happened to being proud to play for your county and pride in the jersey? That used to be enough to make people play for their counties.

Has Pride and honour fallen of the radar of the GPA in their obsession with self-worth and self-gain.
If pride in the jersey and being honoured to represent your County plus the list i have supplied aren't enough to make individuals play for OUR county teams do we really want them to? The type of character who would undermine the very fabric of our great organisation to line his own pockets.   

I was also informed by the County player from my own Club that most county players don't want to strike but are being openly pressurised to do so. Is this Democracy?

Its also evident the GPA are so far removed from the grassroots GAA and the supporters that they haven't noticed that the vast majority are strongly against it, but why would they listen to us mere mortals?

Down Manager Ross Carr has the right idea:

If these prima donnas strike and refuse to play Each County should find a panel of players who will represent their counties for pride honour and the other perks i listed. There would be a stampede to trials and it would totally negate the strike and render their actions futile and meaningless.

We cannot let the elitist few hold the rest of us to ransom while they try to gain financially for doing what most TRUE Gaels consider an Honour and a privilege – PLAY FOR YOUR COUNTY

The new version of Excel on Windows Vista, especially when it won't make my files compatible with the 2003 type (and therefore most computers as of now), and when it corrupts existing files upon opening them, for some reason unknown.

f**kers who drive at 40-50mph, or even less, in 60mph zones, i.e. main roads, missed the first quarter of the game in Ballina last sunday after getting stuck behind these. It's particularly frustrating because a line of cars driven by people who aren't necessarily reckless but are left to take risks due to these, on the kind of roads where you have to think long and hard about making a move. E.g. you get stuck behind someone outside Tubbercurry heading for Sligo, expect to be stuck behind them til after Ballinacarrow, if traffic is steady heading the other way. As bad as speeding drivers, though obviuosly in a different manner, IMO.

Edit - I might add re the N17, the one place where you can get an opportunity to pass (at the Achonry creamery) also happens to be a spot where the Guards of fond of being located, in their usual 'catch the ordinary Joe and ignore the boy racers' task.

How about people who go into a massive supermarket to buy 3 things they could get in the corner shop and then expect special treatment?

You go to the express checkout and some auld biddy is there in front of you, she thinks its alright to go the express checkout (10 items or less) with her entire weeks shopping. In fairness she is chancing her arm, your one behind the till should have told her to sling her hook and go to another checkout!

Deciding upon yourself that an unwritten courtesy rule put in place by the people who run and design the supermarket, so that people with a smaller shopping list dont have to queue for a long time - doesnt have to be abided by your good self and that you have no problem with jumping in there with 365 packets of cookstown sausages and god knows what else and fecking up the whole fecking system which without people like you would work quite well?

No? Must just be in my head then!

But if you go to a big supermarket expect to cue.  You go to the trouble to going to a big supermarket, looking for a space, parking, walking maybe 100yards to the shop, walk around the shop picking up your 5 items and then suddenly you're in a massive hurry and need special treatment?  Doesn't make sense to me. 
And some of us need to get out of the shop before the car's clamped.

have you any idea how heavy a basket full of findus crispy finests is??
Anyways, what if the supermarket is the local corner shop?
Either way, you have to admit that even though you have your own prejudices, your actions are selfish in themselves.

No I don't see how it's selfish, I don't believe in people getting special treatment when it's not needed.
If a big supermarket is your local corner shop well that's an unfortunate inconvenience, just like my local shop being a small shop that doesn't have everything is an unfortrunate inconvenience.

That is not me at all.  I would show great concern for someone else provided it was real.

I woudl if the child was crying over something that happened i.e. a fall or if it was a baby but not if it's just a spoilt brat that's not getting the sweets it wants.

You and me would have some craic if we ever met at the shops, you'd be parked in the parent and toddler spot that I was looking for and then when I get to the express checkout with my spoilt child crying, what would be in front of me.... sure it would be you and your sausages and sweets  :D :D

They might have some parent/toddler spaces at supervalu, I don't honestly know, but its alright I'd rarely have the boys with me if I was shopping in Carrick. I only go to the big supermarket because they have a better range of sweets ;)

  On the subject of Deli's, what about when they're making the sandwich and
then wrap it up in the paper, cut it but don't cut it all the way through,
you then have the half of the contents out over your knee trying to get the Bastard
pulled apart, especially if it's sourdough bread. Like you POG, i have begun to ask for it
to be cut all the way through, they look at you like you're growing horns >:(

On the whole deli thing, when you go to get a ham salad roll (for example), why oh why do they have to fill it to bursting point. So when you do sit down to eat it you will invariably end up with bits of tomato, lettuce, coleslaw, cheese, onion or whatever you are having yourself on your plate/paper bag/shirt.

Congratulations and the best of luck to you both.

Thank you FL/MAYO, we're headed right up to the congratulation dates soon. Only a couple of weeks left. Im just amazed at the newfound necessesities for pregnancy/birth/babies. Someone gifted us a warmer for baby wipes, so as to not startle the little one. How did we ever cope without those when we were babies?

The fun is only beginning!!
The breast pumps remind me of the when one of the lads came onto the job after hurricane Wilma and puts his milk in the fridge. The usual story at a fire station, everyone gets up in the morning for coffee and looks for the milk to put in the coffee, five minutes later your man comes back in again looks in the fridge and asks "where is his wife's breast milk" it was hilarious.

Mobile Phones in general, especially when people shout on them on the train. If I wanted to know so much about your personal life I'd ask. I make a point of not making a personal call until I get a bit of privacy. How did we ever manage without them??

At a stop an elderly person got on, there were no seats (Iwas standing) a fella beside me asked a young girl in a school uniform would she give up her seat for the OAP, "away and feck" was her reply, felt like grabbing her by the throat!!! >:(

Was there no men sitting on the bus to get up of their holes?

To be fair to the young girl, why should she have to get up?  and although I'd be the first to give up my seat if someone started to instruct me they'd get something stronger than "away and feck".

Most of our gear grinders involve cars or filling stations, this one is no different, although they are purely incidental in this one.

You pull into a filling station, at the pump in front of you is this (lets be polite) very attractive young lady, long legs, high heels, short skirt, very sexy, but also very classy. You can't help but having a wee glance (and no more than that, not sitting their rubbing your thighs and licking your lips perving at her). Then as expected you get the look back that says "don't degrade me by looking at my legs".... anyway the point. If you have nice legs and go around in high heels and short skirt, expect to get some male attention, don't put a face on ya like a smacked arse, just cause some fella take a wee peak!!

Why do women dress like that and complain when men look and come out with something like "I dress like this for me" aye right!

Speaking of smacked arse faces...

Hey, if u want to watch low quality, often interrupted, streams in a tiny corner on ur laptop that's up to u, personally I like to wait for it to be broadcast on de box so that I can see/hear what is really going on. If I'm interested in the shows above I may want to comment on what has/will happen the night before/after and see what others have to say, therefore I opened the threads.

How's about u post ur spoilers in ur own little spoiler thread and then everyone's happy???

Most of our gear grinders involve cars or filling stations, this one is no different, although they are purely incidental in this one.

You pull into a filling station, at the pump in front of you is this (lets be polite) very attractive young lady, long legs, high heels, short skirt, very sexy, but also very classy. You can't help but having a wee glance (and no more than that, not sitting their rubbing your thighs and licking your lips perving at her). Then as expected you get the look back that says "don't degrade me by looking at my legs".... anyway the point. If you have nice legs and go around in high heels and short skirt, expect to get some male attention, don't put a face on ya like a smacked arse, just cause some fella take a wee peak!!

OMG! Something we can agree on! I knew we'd find something.
Why do women dress like that and complain when men look and come out with something like "I dress like this for me" aye right!

Speaking of smacked arse faces...

Ignorant cow in the shop - I seen her coming down the aisle with a load of bags and I'd me backet with my chocolate muffin and curlywurlys so I stood to the side to let her past - she walks straight into me and the bags get caught up in my basket - I says sorry - she put a face on her like a slapped arse and walked on!! Not a f**king word out of her mouth!

:) Its great to see us find a bit of common ground alright, I'd even go so far as to agree with your post there as well, even you or I can show chivalry to a woman, unfortunately nowadays a lot of them throw it back in your face.

I can't stand spoilers myself, although I didn't really pay much heed to the ones on the heroes thread. I'll never forget when the usual suspects came out, was at college at the time and it was the buzz film at the time. This p***k at the back of the class shouts out who did it  >:( >:(

Quoteplaying the worst possible type of music as loud as possible as if everyone else on the street needs to here it.

This used to drive me mad initially in Phoenix. There is a large Hispanic (Mexican) population in Phoenix as you would expect, and they love their Hip Hop and Rap as much as the young black population of cities like LA, New York, Chicago etc. They used to drive around with the windows down and Tupac or whoever blaring out of it. I decided I'd put my own spin on it, just to see their reaction. It was great. I'll always remember the stunned look on one lad's face as I pulled up beside him at a traffic light, windows down and drowned out his Tupac with my 'Irish Jigs and Reels' $2.99 CD. :D

Very good lads. That was like a Marx Bros routine.

Talking about cars used as woofers, Little Feat got it fairly right:

Yes you drivin' me crazy with your boom box automobile
Yeah you drivin' me crazy with your boom box automobile

Now I'd love to see you lose the keys to that menace on four wheels
It's so amplified... ain't no wonder why your paint's begun to peel
And those sub woofers hammerin' they're givin' my head a pain
It's either you or me if its me you see I'll jus' cop the plea...
hey judge... I'm insane
I'm sore insane

You and your boom box car
You and your boom box car
Ya gone and drove me too far
With your boom box car

With all this rap dap 'o' lappin' and those bass drums a flappin
At a million and twenty dee bees
It's got my eyeballs bleadin' and my eardrums pleadin'
I'm beggin' mercy, please, please, please
But what has got me so mad is when you tell me oh dad
Ya 'bout as square as you can be
Would ya think I's neater if I blew out your tweeters
With this 12 guage across my knees
Give up the keys

You and your boom box car
You and your boom box car
Ya gone and drove me too far
With your boom box car

You know that back in my day we'd drive our Chevrolets
And take our dates way up on Blueberry Hill
And with very straight faces say "the submarine race
Well they start about a quarter 'til"
But now you and your clowns just like to ride around town
With you volume knobs at ten
And the only thing bangin' in your station wagon
Is the beat bouncin' off your head
Ya might be brain dead soon be stone deaf

From your boom box car
Yes your boom box car
You gone and drove me too far
In your boom box car

Would never give clothes to those "charities" that drop the bags in through the letter box, don't know what half of them are up to, always give the old clothes directly to Oxfam in Dundalk myself.

Those ones selling the "charity" scratch cards. No way I would ever buy one of them, in most instances the charity only receives between 5% and 10% of the proceeds!!!! I have become that cynical that I will only donate to certain charities and normally do it directly.

So lets see that I understand you correctly; you have an issue with the fact that I approve of allocated parking spaces for mothers and toddlers and that they shouldn't be used by lazy over weight people to run in and get their sugar quota for the day, or is the fact that I don't approve of slapping or hitting a toddler like some over powering bully; or is it indeed that I think it unsafe to push plastic bags through peoples doors where a child playing in their own home may come to some harm by picking them up and putting them on their head; or is it indeed all three, please I'd love an answer.

You think because you're a parent you're so important and more entitled to a space at a shop door ahead of a disabled person or someone who's not able to walk the length of a car park, unlike you with your prams and your pushchairs.
Likewise, you'd happily leave disciplining your children to some other poor soul, a babysitter, a shop assistant, or teacher because you want the easy way out.

No there are disabled spaces and a disabled person in my opinion has every right to park in an allocated space be that mother and toddler / disabled; it's only his holiness gives out about too many disabled spaces.  Some lazy oaf I think shouldn't hence in many shopping centres these ignorant fuckwits are being clamped.  As for disciplining a toddler by hitting and slapping them; a lazier methodology of discipline hasn't been invented, don't think, don't explain just lash out and strike; this method simply gives an adults a chance to bully and terrorise very young infants whom they are meant to be helping and protecting.

There's parent/toddler spaces at shops because lazy, selfish parents like you complain and yap that you can't walk your children a couple of hundred yards never mind those parents that might have to walk a couple of miles with the shopping and children.

I think you'll find there are parent and toddler spaces as shopping centres realised that for a parent with a few toddlers and a shed load of shopping, it is a bit of a hazard negotiating a shopping centre car park, especially as people drive round these like they were in the dodgems; and especially on their way out.   As for parents who have to walk miles with the kids and shopping – I do that weather permitting, and guess what I come out the front door and don't have to negotiate the minefield that is a shopping centre car park; still can't wait to your first post yapping about being clamped.

Orange are the biggest load of shit! Never again!

It went through a phase where when people called me it'd go straight to voicemail, without ringing!!! the person would leave a message.
I would never be shown I'd a missed call I would never be told I've a voice mail message - when I rang voicemail the message wouldn't even be there!!

Now it's going through this phase of only showing me the odd missed call but storing the message and not telling me there is one so I ring it this evening because someone told me they'd left a message to discover I've seven - 3 of which are from someone connected to work giving out that he's called me x y and z times and I've never got back to him (that's from over a week ago)!!!
I'm going to have to ring him tomorrow and let on I've been away on holidays or something!  ffs

(hope he doesnt read the board - or start asking me about my holiday)

Never again!

People, especially "public" people in Ireland, like media commentators, news script writers and such, who refer to the army or, say the government as "the Irish army" or "the Irish government". What do they think? That if they said  "he served in the army for many years" we'd wonder what army they meant? The Chinese army, maybe? You'd never hear the BBC refer to "the British army". In fact they even refer to their sporting events as "the Grand National", "the Open", etc.

And not only that, but when RTE news is reporting British news, they'll refer to "the queen" or "the House of Commons" instead of the queen of the UK, or whatever. What's going on there?

Im the same at home. We just got it into the new irish produce store over here, and I was back on it like crazy. 4/5 bottles a day. Then I figured out that it was the lucozade that was cutting the arse off me. Ive now put myself down to about 3 bottles a week.
Was off the coke too for a long time, was drinking the diet, but recently Ive been back on the full sugar stuff. Its padding the waistline.

Getting stuch on a mission on Pro Evo 2008 World Tour mode-has anyone else played this?? Its a nightmare tryin to score a goal from 25metres or more and win a game to progress. 4 f**king times i scored from 24 METRES! And i hate the fact you dont know how far youve scored from till half or full time -so you dont know whether to relax and keep ball to ensure the win after scoring a long ranger as your not totally sure if it was from 25metres or not or whether to keep going for long rangers and maybe get caught out at the back.

The weather, or this week's at any rate. Awful.
Traveller graves, obscene montrosities scattered in cemeteries like our local one, with so many smaller headstones on the grave as well. Stick out like sore thumbs amongst the normal graves. And of course any time there is a funeral the town's businesses have to shut down, and Gardaí are on duty in droves. Why do we have to tolerate these people?
People driving on smaller third-class type roads when meeting you, you make the effort to slow up and they go past you as if you weren't there.

I was out shopping in Belfast today and the amount of bad parking going on is a joke. The amount of people who feel that its ok to abandon their cars whilst taking up two parking spaces is incredible. It always seems to be drivers with really expensive cars or big 4X4's who think it's ok to do this. It took me ages getting a parking space. Feck, I hate Christmas shopping, doing it online is the way to go!!  :-\

I quit that world tour shite on the third mission -I think it's win the game and have no off sides - I don't know how many f**king times I was winning the game and in the last five minutes some **** goes off side!

If you pause the game will it not tell you if you've scored from 25 meters.

Am I the only finding Pro Evo really hard? 
The passing is so f**king annoying.

Fully agreed, unless it's well below freezing no men below 60 should be wearing scarves anyway. Gloves are permissible for pelting the head of people with snowballs, that's it. A feminine fashion statement, as with most clothes these days.

It depends on how you wear scarfs.  I wouldn't wear one myself but i think if a man has one wrapped around his neck with a wee bit tucked in he can get away with it - but just wrapped around once and hanging down is just wrong!
Same with gloves - certain ones men can get away with but not striped multi coloured ones!

Id accept any scarf outside, its when you see these kids with the straightened half long hair over the forehead wearing them in a bar (when everyone else is sweating the bit out) that I have to laugh. I love wearing gloves when its cold, but they are just very fecking impractical. You either take them off before you go into the shop, or you struggle with the plastic fivers while some fecker behind you with a basketfull of cookstowns finest is calling you a f**king ponce. Better off just not wearing them at all.

When you get to work and your usual car parking space has been taken by someone else (another woman, by the way).

When a pane of glass falls two storeys from its frame on to your car that you shouldn't have driven to work or shouldn't have parked in that space.

Not being able to afford a house, and having to live in close proximity to my inlaws (at their generosity) and having Mrs Puck refusing to rent because we have a free place kinda grinds my gears. A man likes to be fully independent.

Its a great time to buy, thats for sure. Prices are pretty low right now, friends who are selling cant get rid of their houses. We are just about a year away from having downpayments and mortgage money. Its a little bit like having 20p and the price of a loaf just dropped from 3pounds to 2 pounds. :-[

They arent bad folks, and in some ways we are very lucky to have them, they just own the house we are living in, and its right next door to them. Its very everybody loves raymond esque between me and her father in law. Just different personalities. My wife was always very dependent on them and is struggling to cut the apron strings.

Didn't get stuck behind this guy, but had to stay behind him for the laugh...

Was walking over into town from the Odyssey car park yesterday morning and this fella in front has the Ipod in. He obviously thinks he's letting out some wee silent ones but you should have heard the noises coming from this fella's hole!! Was funny enough when me and my mate were walking behind him but was 10 times better when he did it when there was about 10 of us waiting at the traffic lights!! Great laugh to start the day!

Square if you ever come to the States you should go and shop at a "Super Walmart" to experience the clientele. Very similar to what you described above but the majority would be armed and let out of the trailer park for the day... horrible f**king place.

Two people in front of me today at express checkout (yes I'd over the allowed amount and got away with it again - though there were no mother toddler spaces free) using a credit card to pay for about 3 things!!

Behind them struggling to get past is your typical wall street type, expensive suit, fancy shoes, long hair slicked back. He ducks one way and then the other and can't get by with the oncoming pedestrians. Finally he loses his cool...

looks like she is trying to inflict as much pain on you as possible by dragging you around shopping and then giving you the 'silent treatment'  - its obv in retaliation for you being such a pain in the hole all the time and its prob a precursor to her dumping you !  :o ;)

I'm having a 'Period Drama' at present ... I left a fork in the spoon compartment in the drawer and she kicked off big time. She's doing the 'washing machine cycle'  - i.e. going through a number of settings each hour (crying, fighting, rage, apologising etc) .. then come friday when Mr Hormone kicks in it will be a case of 'what did i do?' ... ever see the Incredible Hulk whe he returns to Bruce Banner after he's wrecked the place and all he has is ripped clothes? ie he's wondering what the f**k he did to end up like that .. Well that'll be the other half come 'The Onset'..
ok I am halfway through a bottle of bordeaux, but this has me laughing out loud  :D

...think this is par for the course , and there is fcuk all you can do about it...

thankfully I beleive they get less irritable after a few years, defo mine was like that 10 years ago now and certainly I dont notice such dramatic behaviour these days...maybe I am just immune to it now ..

Christmas Shopping

Going into the store and the people ahead of you come to a dead stop inside the doors - go LEFT or RIGHT then decide which way your going NOT right in the entrance.


Three SLOW people walking in front of you in the store and when there is an opening to pass they expand outwards so you can't pass.

10 minutes of this and I headed right out, gift cards and cash now for presents.

The selfishness and ill manners of people with zero appreciation for gestures of decency and help that you bust your f**king balls to show them a good turn - and get it thrown back in your face.

Screw them - all of them.

That's it puckoon!!! A few more sleepless nights and you'll be just like me!


Speaking of sleepless nights - lying in bed wrecked and not being fit to sleep grinds my gears!  I'm running on about 4 hours sleep every night for the last week!

Aye, its not so bad in the long term - its that initial waking from a deep sleep thats lasted 45 minutes that kills me. Trying to stand up and change a nappy and swaying from side to side and then getting pooped on!Its amazing how far a baby can poop when you dont have a nappy on them. Id taken off the new tyrone shirt moments before thankfully as my other shirt got covered. Sandals, socks, floor. Then trying to keep the dogs away from it. Jesus such a scene. :D Its funny though, theres been a few (not many) occasions where the baby starts to make noise and Mrs Puck and I both try and ignore it in the hope that the other one of us will get up and take care of her. Needless to say - I have less will power and Mrs Puck knows it.

What's what?

The 3 million Caribou walking across africa and when a wolf comes along they run away.  I got the Planet Earth Series for Christmas - although very good (I'd love a leopard) these ones keep running away from the other animals!  Do they ever fight back?!  No, don't tell me, I don't want to ruin the ending.

Scrap that, I'd love a panda bear - they remind me of me.

Oh where were they hell at the limit, wouldn't be having a go if they were. Haven't any problems with anybody who drives near or at the limit, but 30 in a 50/60mph zone?

Watching MOTD, two more for the list - the BBC's stupid intros, which takes ages for the programme title (i.e. MOTD) to appear after the intro tune ends, can't see the point of it. And Jonathan Pearce's commentaries, although the rest of his colleagues are not much better.

I was standing in the chippie this evening (diet starts Monday) and had ordered and all and these two came him, man and a woman about 30, he was wearing gloves and a scarf hanging around his knees. THey head up to the counter chatting away, the girl tried to get their attention by calling them 3 or 4 times  ::)  They eventually copped on they'd have to order something, they ordered curry chip, the girl put it through the till and to their amazement she asked for money.  Out comes both their purses! (I swear he had a woman's purse) to count out the 2p coins - after five minutes they handed it over - the girl then had to count it, they were 15p short and out came the purses again. 
They get the curry chip quickly enough anyway and the two of them sit down with two forks  ::)

Well if you're carrying a handbag people probably wouldn't notice gab so don't worry.

walking up the street after said couple of pints to get a feed of grease and bumping into the same mooncat in place i never go into - ket

A man shouldn't have a coin purse in my opinion
I have nothing against scarfs too be honest,I often wear my Laois one to O'Moore Park or my Liverpool one to Anfield..Its when people use them as fashion items that i don't understand like this fella..

Your right LL, real men carry their coins around tightly clenched in their fists!

Re them "trendy" scarves, my Mother got me one for Christmas. Cant see it going on, sometimes I think sytle isnt my style  :o

Another thing that grinds my gears is people repeatedly posting on one thread asking someone to answer questions on another.

Ive just given myself 5 minutes with the top of the line sonicating toothbrush. If I could type in the subsequent speech impediment due to the swelling in my tounge now, I would. Im reluctant to try a pin, the gap is pretty small and I dont fancy a careless slice or a widening of my front nashers. I might try some gum.

You never said what was trapped between your teeth. After 2 months of brushing, flossing & washing, most food stuffs will have been removed. I was only trying to suggest a way of removing somthing other than food that may have been trapped between your teeth.

The pro englishman bias at Sky sports regarding soccer.

Listening to sky sports news this morning, and they were discussing the FA cup. Presuming the foreign managers wont play full strength teams in the cup as they dont "get" how important it is. There was a suggestion that someone pull the new spurs manager aside and explain this to him so he wont disrespect the competition by playing a half arsed side.

Five minutes later while discussing Reading it was noted that some lad (Kitson I think) couldnt give a shite about the cup and the manager Steve Coppel stating "we have games as important as a cup final every week in the league" or something along those lines. The panel were quick to undersand this view and agree with him as staying in the Premier league is more important to Reading ??  ???

Shocking double standards.

People who say "nukular", for "nuclear".  They include the president of the USA, at least one RTÉ newsreader and the latest was some fella on the "What-if" programme on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning - what if we had built the nuclear power station in Carnsore was the subject. This lad was there as an expert on the whole subject, yet he can't pronounce the name of his speciality.

Pints, the selfish parents did make the supermarkets put in a sweetieless cue, so they can get the kids through without them gurning for smarties. I know, as I was dragged through it regularly.

By the way - did you only get one of each for that price?

It's the same story with Jamie Oliver. He's on the box this week I think showing us all how the chicken we all eat gets to us on the plate. The classic shock stuff. Is he going to fund the buying of organic food then?

Ziggy you are a strange man with your food. Cant have pears or grapes? I love grapes since they became seedless, and I like a good pear. Red apples - no thank you. Golden delicious all the way.

As for kiwis, I cant think of one without remembering Euanan Kerlin getting blasted in the throat with one thrown by a 7th year at the CBS from a second story window, while we were first years.It exploded all over him and Ill never forget his look of shock. Im pretty sure it was Eunan, if anyone knows him - ask him and let me know so I can let it go.

Imagine working for this place! (but then again, people who go to frivilous litigation as much as have hot dinners annoys me too):

The London Times reported this morning on an unusual case of a female door worker at a night club in Bournemouth, UK who claimed she was dismissed because she was heterosexual. It is believed to be the first successful case taken under the sexual orientation regulations where the complainant was alleging harassment due to heterosexuality.

Sharon Legg alleged that her manager at Dreams night club had repeatedly called her names such as "breeder".


The Employment Tribunal awarded the complainant £3000 compensation for harassment and £3222 for unfair dismissal.

The f**king M50 Toll Bridge..
There i was driving to work this morning,first time i had been through the toll bridge since before christmas and i have my €3.30 ready..
I get to the booth and hand the lady my €3.30,she counts it and then.............She tells me the toll has gone up to €3.40  >:(
So i search me pockets/cup holder/ash tray for a 10cents but can't find any..I tell the lady i can't find another 10cents and im sorry as i didn't know the tolls had gone up..
The bitch then says well im sorry but your gonna have to pay...(At this stage the cars behind me were starting to beep)...So i says i come through the toll bridge at least 10 times a week and the next time i pass i will pay 10cents extra..she was still having none of it..... (cars really getting pissed off behind me now)...So she asked me have i any cards as in laser or visa..So in the end i had to pay €3.40 with my laser card..I was there about 6 - 7 mins
I was suppose to be driving to Glasnevin but because all the cars that were behind me either stuck their fingers up or/and blew me out of it as they passed me i turned off for Blanch and went the back roads... :-[

I don't normally contribute to this thread, but I was reminded at lunch time of one of my 'favourite' bug-bears. Young lads, and especially young ones speaking in faux-California accents.

What the feck is 'ledduce and tomehdo'? In my day it was lettuce and tomato. Or in Offaly, Lehhuce and Tomaho.

Not to mention crap like 'Oh My God...', 'Whatever', 'I so told him' etc.

It's even spread to Limerick now. No more is the word 'like' used in it's traditional way as in 'So I said to him, cop on like.' Instead it's now the American form as in 'Oh My God, I was so, like, ready to tell him to cop on'.

And now that I mention it, those eejits on the radio from AA with their Red Cah Rindabahts, and not being able to pronounce Moate.

AArrrrgh.

Maybe it's the post-Christmas blues. Must look for, like, another avatar. My current one is so, like, Ohhh My Godd, yesterday.

Sorry to hear that LL, that sort of shite would make you want to roam the streets with a baseball bat.


As i was saying its probably just as well i didn't catch them,I have a Hurl beside the bed and i have no doubt i would have been running down the stairs and out the door after them..And we all know what would have happened if i was to hit one of the with the hurl..I would have been charged with assault.. ::)

Good man AZ. Spot on.  Except

QuoteIn my day it was ... in Offaly, Lehhuce and Tomaho.

Surely it was Lehhuce and Tomaha.

To add to yours, it's probably been done here already, but I can't listen to these prats who pronounce every sentence as a question, Australia and California style, with the upward inflection in tone at the end of the sentence. "It was, like eleven thirty? I was, like tired? So I'm, like 'OK, I think I'm going to leave'?" Aaaaaarghhh. It used to be just Australians and Californians and then mostly just young girls. Now, for some reason, Irish male people are doing it. Can they not hear themselves?

It's, like infuriating?

i'd say you're not on your own in that one Laoislad - thats pretty standard female craziness.

On filling station etiquette. All the pumps are busy, so you pull in behind a fella who's filling up. When he's finished, instead of getting into his motor and pulling up a bit so that you can get started, he fecks off into the shop to pay, as if you didn't exist. Why do nine out of ten people do this? And why am I not allowed to bate some courtesy into them?

Ah Rover, dem days is gone, sadly, what with the outlawing of all physical contact and the conviction on the part of GAA legislators that Gaelic Football should be re-engineered into a form of ballet dancing. Not to mention the other growing trend that would ensure that if I did "accidentally" brush up against one of these hoors, he'd collapse in a heap holding his face and I'd be red carded into the nearest Garda station.

I have seen signs up in a lot of petrol stations telling customers not to move their vehicle before paying..
I hate it though when someones pulls up at a petrol pump but then goes into the shop without getting petrol why can't they just park to the side of the station

I don't know how it works "up there", but I was amazed and delighted at the approach yesterday here in the Republic of Cork. I brought herself's motor in for the NCT and it failed for a wiper linkage that was a little looser than it should be. The lad says to me "just bring it back within 21 days - no need to re-book".

"What do I do, then, when I come back?", I asked.

"Just come in to the reception and one of us will have a look at it", he says. "There'll be no charge".

Does anyone know if this is official procedure (the documentation doesn't mention this option - only a re-book and re-test, for a fee)  or just another example of our great nod-and-wink approach to regulations that can be so infuriating at most times, but very nice on occasions like this?

The b**tards failed me before Christmas because my seat belt was "a bit frayed" WTF, it was completely intact and would take the tension of my weight in a high speed crash, so what if it doesn't look right!! I have a Volvo which are an absolute curse for parts, so it is an absolute rip off to get it replaced as you have to replace the whole thing!! Can't get one in a breakers yard, so I am eventually going to have to shell out big bucks for something completely unnecessary!! The car passed with flying colours on everything else!

No, but maybe a parent feels they can shop safer and with more comfort when they have their child in pram.  Seriously if this board is what you are about and not a wind up, is it any wonder you can't sleep!

Sure why don't they tie the child up at home, that would be safer.

btw, what's the difference is tying a child up at home and typing a child up in a pushchair?  Are these people with pushchairs the same people that can't walk their child through a carpark?  Probably have a "baby on board" sign on the car too.

Parents dont need to have most children in pushchairs and you'd think they'd use a wee bit of common sense when they are going to shops they know haven't much space and where pushchairs will be a nuisance (for them and everyone else) but no, they're parents, they're the only people in the world and they don't care about anyone else.

There is an amazing feature to prams, a real break through, its called the storage area underneath, it also has handles; here let me explain.  Mother and 3 year old toddler (lazy wee shite think he'd walk  ::)) go shopping, toddler in pram, mother can shop and put purchases underneath or attach carrier bags to handles, everyone is safe, no hassle, no pressure, 3 year old toddler walks mother has to keep eye on him, no shopping done and very little can be bought as she has to have one hand free for toddler.  Its called common sense, look it up.

What sort of a parent are you or what sort of parents do you know that can't manage a child in a shop without having them tied up to a pram?
But sure I suppose if you don't discipline your child having no control over them is to be expected.

Maybe it's the lack of sleep but shopping isn't a toddler's favourite past time, shock  :o!  Parenting isn't about choosing appropiate times to be with kids, it's about being with them as much as possible, sometimes shopping is required, best to keep everyone safe whilst you can get on with getting all the necessary bits and pieces, maybe though they should all do their shopping online, though they would have more chance in bumping into you there than in the stores.

I just don't understand what the problem is, I've brought my niece and nephews shopping when they were 2 and 3 etc and I never found it necessary to park in parent toddler spaces or tie them up in a shop. 

Maybe you should try disciplining yours.

When you say shopping - buying a one pound pic'n'mix doesn't really count.  Btw is that not bizzare that when you had kids, albeit someone else's, you didn't park in allocated spaces, but when you're alone you do, that really is making a point.

No I'd park in them if they're available but they aren't always available, kids or not.

I never had any difficultly doing a weeks shoppping with any of them, warn them to stay close to you, let them carry something to make them feel helpful, no problems.  I don't see any need for pushchairs/prams (trollies can be used anyway), or special parking spaces at doors.

So what did your 2 or 3 year old neice and nephew carry, the pic'n'mix?  I persume, though one thread would suggest otherwise, you are a grown man, you could probably carry more than a young mother, those oul boxes of pampers are a bit heavy too!

So whether you need a pushchair depends on how much you can carry? 
There are baskets in every shop, trollies in most shops for people to carry stuff. 

I've nothing against trollies as long as the people using them realise there's more than them in the shop.

Just reading this now. The gas thing is that snowed under was banned, so you would think whilst sneaking back in he would be discreet about his identity. But no he jumps straight in slagging off people for spending time on here and then gets stuck into Pints  :D :D :D

Yes, Snowed Under was banned, more than once. A permanent ban was imposed on January 8th by the admin. Obviously this is the same person with a different username. oiddas is now permanently banned as well.

They do if you continue to exhibit the behaviour that resulted in the first ban. We do not bother much with trying to figure out different aliases, although there are a few tools we can use. If someone who was banned comes back and behaves themselves, they'll probably be fine, unless they use something like Snowed Under 2 as their username :D

We have a working draft of the new rules, regulations and penalties under review. I would hope to be able to post these today at some stage. When we do, please, please read and heed them.

Continuing to use the forum will imply that you agree. Otherwise we would have to get everyone to re-register.

There's nothing really new in there, it's just collating the various things we've seen happening over the past 18 months or more, and trying to put a clear set of penalties with them. I don't think anything will really surprise anybody.

Sorry fullback. That would be a disaster.

Anyway, the new rules are posted in a thread entitled New Forum Rules in this forum, so please take a look and comment. We will take your comments on board, make a final decision, and post the final, definitive version (notwithstanding any future amendments) after this period.

This is your chance to comment/voice disagreement etc.

The final decision will still be taken by the admin and mods.

Plus there was a yank in the seat beside. Telling me how she used to date Middle-Eastern Princes and was married to a multi-millionnaire. Annoyed my wick no end.

What surprised me was, she was coming over to trace her family roots.

That's nice.  You've got several options in these circumstances;
1.  A long dirty look, the way you'd look at a piece of dog shit on the sole of your shoe.
2.  Comment on it loudly to someone beside you or a loud "for f**k sake" after the seat gets a wrap. 
3.  Say something to the parents.

I find that one and two is usually enough.

I'm just saying that if you insist on talking to people you'll hear these things, I bet she wouldn't have told me the story.


Hegan, when I was young and being bold I'd get slapped and if I started to roar and scream I would have got another one and told to stop - never done me any harm.

I'm just saying that if you insist on talking to people you'll hear these things, I bet she wouldn't have told me the story.


Hegan, when I was young and being bold I'd get slapped and if I started to roar and scream I would have got another one and told to stop - never done me any harm
You can't let a child do what they want because you're afraid of their response. Would you buy everything a child wants in a shop because you're afraid of a bad tempered fit?


Fair enough point Pints, you well adjusted individual you.

Pints, I'm mostly stirring to be honest, I've had a child on a plane who took violently ill after getting plane food and spent 6 hours vomiting and its a crap place to be as you feel guilty that you're disturbing others around you. But if same child were to take a strop he'd know all about it old school style.

There was a child a few rows back that was sick everywhere. I didn't mind that, she wasn't well.

Im very quick to capitulate to my perceived needs of others and really hate to be anywhere near any scene that could be construed as being embarrassing on my point. However, in your situation Hegan I wouldnt give a proverbial flyer and would almost welcome being challenged by someone with an axe to grind. If I had the time after attending to the needs of the kid.

I agree with POG. I think most humans would have some sympathy for a sick child.

Actually no, I don't agree with smacking children or putting the fear of God into them. Instead educate the child as to why they shouldn't be doing it.

Welcome back

Was in tescos Ashbourne last night, the missus was using the banklink. A wee toddler shoved his way in front of her and grabbed the 20 euro note from the machine and went to take off. She said "excuse me" and when he turned to her she took the money back from him. At this stage the mother ran over and grabbed him, staring back at the missus as if she just tried to abduct him!!!!

Some parents are unbelievable, an apology would have been the correct reaction to that!!!

You will be the ideal for all parents when your child arrives I suppose.  ::)  The amazing thing to remember is that all kids are individuals and can act and think independently of the parent, i'd practice slapping pillows in anticipation of any disipline issues your toddler may bring.

It was fairly obvious Red Ranger was another incarnation of a banned poster. I PM'ed him to tell him that I knew who he was, and was willing to let him stay as he is a decent poster on other issues, as long as he discontinued his personal abuse on another poster. He agreed, but yesterday evening went back on that agreement.

He is now banned again, and any other versions of this user will also be banned immediately, under persistant breach of Rule 1 - Personal Abuse.

They have been slagging her non-stop, even a soon ago as the weekend. However since she won a few Grammies, they are all saying that she has reinvented herself, has really turned a corner and is back on top again.

How? How? How? What changed from the weekend to Sunday night???? Just because she won an award?  >:(

And going for one in the work bogs (or any bog for that matter) with the irish news and the lights work on a sensor. So you get carried away with the sport section of the paper and after 10 minutes all the lights go off and you have to get up and wave your hand about over the door to get the lights back on!!

Or maybe that's just me...  :D

The Police state.

News
HMRC gets bugging powers
He already has the power to arrest, and as of today, the British taxman will also be able to intercept phone calls, emails and letters, as well as bug residential premises and private vehicles.
The powers were granted to HMRC in the Serious Crime Act, which gained Royal Assent in October, but did not come into force until the relevant statutory instrument is issued today.

"Customs officers have always had these powers because of their criminal investigations into drugs and guns," said an HMRC spokesman. "Now they will be granted across the board. We could use it purely in tax matters. Tax offences are quite often combined with other forms of criminality."

HMRC has stated that all surveillance will be conducted in compliance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and the Wilson Doctrine, and subject to checks by the Office of Surveillance Commissioners and the Interception of Communication Commissioners Office. However, the department will not need to seek external authorisation for any of its surveillance activities.

The move flies in the face of assurances given when the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise merged in 2005 that integration would not necessitate an alignment of powers. Professional bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales will be further disappointed that HMRC has yet to draw up its own code of conduct regarding the new powers.

"It seems clear to me that HMRC used the merger to push for greater powers," said Harry Travers, partner at leading law firm BCL Burton Copeland and a member of the Institute's Tax Investigations Practitioners Group. "There is no evidence that bugging powers are needed in relation to direct tax fraud, and HMRC did not even attempt to provide any."

A number of Customs and Excise prosecutions have spectacularly and famously collapsed in recent years due to the abuse by officers of their powers. The prosecution for Operation Venison, which led to accusations of VAT fraud for five Manchester businessmen three years ago, fell through due to "muddle, incompetence and lack of frankness" said Mr Justice Crane. A prosecution in Liverpool Crown Court six years ago lead to a judicial inquiry into customs investigations techniques after a £30 million trial collapsed, and after a spate of spectacular court failures in 2000 the then Attorney General called for Customs an Excises' investigatory powers to be reviewed entirely.

"Broadening the choice of powers available for HMRC to abuse does not seem to me to be a sensible legislative development," Travers added.

The news comes shortly after the publication of the Chilcot Report, which recommended that intercept evidence should be used in court.

RTÉ's new way of listing the sports results, probably couldn't be arsed reading them out any more, so why don't you try to keep one eye on the action and the other on the results. Stupid idea.

Mentioning parking I see Asda are introducing fines.  Some of the comments at the end are brillant.

In fairness though I know a larger individual who uses these spaces as they need the extra room to open the door and physically get out of the car, seems like a valid reason.

You haven't been sick till you've been sick from bad raw seafood. A close second is eating nondescript food from the freezer after a night of pints and finding out (too late) that it was frozen to wait for bin day because it would stink the place out otherwise. Nobody ever heard of sticky labels of course. "Rancid Food - DO NOT EAT!".  And people wonder about domestic violence.

And moaning about toast crumbs in the butter. What about toast crumbs in the bed? You don't have to sleep in the butter tub.

And people who put used matches back in the box. I don't need matches any more but I still hate those people.

The cameras were at the school he attended and one of his classmates was there laying wreaths. The f**king reporter stopped the child after he had laid flowers & began to ask him f**king  questions. There was no f**king need for it at all.
It was obvious the child was very distressed.

Her Holiness NB, getting on a bus in Dublin city, 5 months pregnant, went to the last available seat to find bags on it, she asked the woman (guessed to be in her 40's) beside the bag to move the bags so she could sit down. The woman replied that she was holding the seat for a freind who was due to get on in a few minutes. Her Holiness replied that you cant do that, and that she was 5 months pregnant. The woman said tough, and turned away.
Her Holiness ended up getting off the bus as it was too crowded and nobody else offered a seat.

Sure wasn't there a row on Dublin bus when some guy in a wheelchair couldn't get into the space for wheelchairs because someone had a buggy there and they refused to fold it up.

In the Her Holiness case its a pity some strapping fellow (or lass indeed) didn't offer her his seat and simply lift off the bags.

A frickin' disgrace holiness. I would advise you to write a letter of complaint to the bus company.

I was in London five years ago and the ticket collector wouldn't allow me onto the bus. He said I was a fire hazard. As you can imagine, I went crazy, as did my sister. He was having non of it. Thankfully a few people who were on the bus joined on and I started arguing with the ticket collector. Eventually he gave in and let me on the bus.

I wrote a letter of complaint to Ken Livingstone.

Reminds me of a late night trip on a very crowded train in Italy - the train corridor had pull down seats at intervals along the wall, one of these spots was being blocked by a very large suitcase.  Looking at an overnight journey, I put my hand on the case to move it out of the way and this Italian man started shaking his fist at me and saying "No sit!".  So it quickly became very heated with me trying to move the case and he shouting "NO SIT" and me shouting "I bloody well WILL sit"..   After practically kicking him out of the way I eventually got the case moved only to find....there was no seat  :-[

I done that this evening to someone but it wasn't in Dublin.

Did you leave a note with your details?

Come to think of it there was a baby seat in the back of the car too, I thought these parents couldn't go into a shop if they didn't get a selfish parent a toddler space, they probably think they can park where they want.

Unisex toilets in bars/restaurants and the like.

When I go in and some dirty ba$tard has quite literally made shite out of the place, that is bad enough, but I will hold my breath and get a quick piss in. However, when I leave there invariably a stunner waiting to enter, then I am marked down by her and her table of good looking friendsas a dirty ba$tard. (which is true but not in the way she means)

Yes indeed, and the flip side of that coin - who in the name of god wants to listen to some stunner serving an eviction notice in the cubicle next door?

Though come to think of it there's probably quite a phew pervs

I refuse to participate.

I remember this woman standing in the middle of a parking space one time, I went to pull in and she shouted at me she was holding it for someone, I just drove on and she wasn't long scrambling away with the pushchair.

And had she not moved, you would of drove on?

From BBC.


Man dies in cake-eating contest  
An inquest is to be held on a man who died during a contest to see who could eat the most fairy cakes.
The man, thought to be from Birmingham, collapsed at a Swansea nightclub during the event at the end of a party to raise funds for an art exhibition.

Police say there are no suspicious circumstances following the incident at the city's Monkey Cafe and Bar during the early hours of Friday.

The coroner has been informed and the family have been told.

It is believed attempts were made by staff and customers at the nightclub to revive the man.

In a statement, club owners Amanda Davey and Paul Dyke said: "We are all devastated by this tragic accident.

"We are all in shock.

"It was a tragic accident and very sad and should serve as a cautionary tale.

"Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family."

A South Wales Police spokesman said: "There are no suspicious circumstances and a file is being prepared for the coroner."

Aye, 1 euro flight -
8 euro booking fee
8 euro for taking a bag
8 euro for checking in
8 euro for getting on the plane
8 euro for breathing while on the plane!

Mind you they have a sense of humour, every flight I'm on I seem to have a screaming child sit next to me, I'm beginning to think snowed under works for them. 

The only good thing about them is they stopped that nonsense of allowing parents and children on first although the downside is they can come on after you on the plane and sit down beside you whereas before if they were already seated you could avoid them.

There is the proof that you will never be happy, whichever way you get it, its always going to be a lose-lose for poor POG in his eternal fight against those damn selfish parents  :D

Why don't they just ban children flying altogether or maybe have special planes for them.

trying to book a flight with Ryanair

Aye, 1 euro flight -
8 euro booking fee
8 euro for taking a bag
8 euro for checking in
8 euro for getting on the plane
8 euro for breathing while on the plane!

Mind you they have a sense of humour, every flight I'm on I seem to have a screaming child sit next to me, I'm beginning to think snowed under works for them. 

The only good thing about them is they stopped that nonsense of allowing parents and children on first although the downside is they can come on after you on the plane and sit down beside you whereas before if they were already seated you could avoid them.

I think this was so that kids and parents were together and some ignorant bastard didn't kill them in the rush for the plane, thank God Easyjet still does it.  Do you think that if two parents and two toddlers tried to get through the rush of ignorant gits that seem to be on these flights, only to find 4 seperate seats all over the plane, it would be good for the kids, havent to be seperated and God forbit end up beside you.  Oh that's right you'll turn this round about the parents being selfish, you will make up some crap about not hating kids and that parents who try to sit with their kids on a flight are selfish as well as those try to keep them safe in other situations, Jesus wept.  ::)

Suppose you take this stance for all people that annoy you, people who talk to much, people who are a bit nervous, fat people who take up too much room or sweat too much beside you, or is it just the kids you hate?

20.00 EUR Taxes, Fees & Charges

18.00 EUR Passenger Fee: BAG

8.00 EUR Passenger Fee: Airport Check in

8.00 EUR Passenger Fee: CC

54.02 EUR Total Paid

so the flights are 0.02 EUR and the final total is effin €54.02 and I have to get to Dublin

This is my tale of woe from Ryan Air, although to be fair, to get to France it's not that bad really. Travelling party is 6 adults and one 20 month old baby. (Sorry Pints)

Anyway ... Fare (Return) = 90 Euro.   :o :o :o
Taxes, Fees and Charges (1 bag checked in per person). = 317.30 !!  ::) ::)
Aviation/WCHR Levy = 34.74 (Wtf?)

Total - 442.04.

Still grand in my opinion for a flight to France for 6 adults and a baby, but Jaysus, the charges and fees are brutal. Over 3 times the actual fare.

Oh sorry, you want an honest answer? Ok.

Well it's not the children I have a problem with, after all they are children and children do what children do. (Did I children too many times in that sentence?)

It's more the parents that give their children a free rein to do what they want. That shouldn't be the case, they should be ensuring that their children behaves.

Again, I don't mind if a child is crying because s/he is unwell or stressed. It's the bad behaviour I don't like.

Yawn yawn yawn, toddlers will get bored in an enclosed place for any period of time and probably play up a bit, your blame the parents is an easy excuse, boring and just pandering to pints, which seems to be the norm on this board, no matter how outrageous his views are  ::) it's totally obvious you and pints have no kids, btw do you think parents with toddlers shouldn't be allowed to sit together on a plane?

I booked flights through Jet2 for me and my girlfriend and used my mastercard to pay.  When they give you the option for how you want to pay it says credit card £2.

What they actually mean is £2 per person per flight!  As if they have had to process the card 4 times.  A complete con.

I know it seems silly to be defending someone who shouldn't be on here anyway, but fair is fair. No-one deserves hassle off the board from something they post on the board.

For God sake is there anyone who doesn't know what the orginal username was?  ::)
It all started, imo, when he attempted to get someone banned for disclosing his identity - he's the same sort that yaps about people reporting posts and then wants someone banned for that or because they broke a rule "in a round about way".  The same sort that spends his time telling us all how sad we are for posting here and who not so long ago regularly said he wanted banned, now he has how many usernames?

That said, I liked him.

Been there..
Lived with a fella for 3 years and were good mates.I use to drive out of my way to collect him to bring him up to Dublin and then back home again at the weekends..
Rang me up last year looking for a favour,He needed money so i lent him €500..
Haven't heard from him since and i heard after he also asked the people he was then renting a house with for money too and got some off them too and fecked off without paying his share of the bills...
Have tried ringing him loads of times and now his phone is switched off permanently..
Its not even the money that he owes me is the problem if he didn't have it to pay me back i would have understood its the principle of the thing that someone you thought was a friend and trusted and helped out when he was down on his luck would deceit me like that

An English girl (prim, proper and not the prettiest looking thing ::) ;)) moved over here a couple years back and began work at the University. She couldnt get a room mate for a while, so eventually settled for this slob of a fella.

She came home one lunch time for a quick cucumber sandwich and a cup of earl grey and walked in the door to find him taking care of himself while wearing nothing but her undergarments (the irony is that they were a perfect fit) lying on the sofa in the living room. She freaked out and slammed the door and ran back to work.

She came home nervously at 6 that evening to find that the hewer had cleaned out the apartment (that she had furnished) of all electronics, lap top, and her CD and DVD collection and had taken off.

Her stuff was later found at a local pawn shop when police went looking.


No word has ever been had from the roommate since.

I'm in a similar boat with a fella who lives in Belfast, I'm in England now but would still be back there and saw him over Christmas.  He doesn't actually bother avoding me but even rings the odd time saying he's going to get me the money back (£260 which he's owed me for a year and a half).  He always says he's getting wages in next week etc etc has no money at the minute, the c#nt drinks and gambles every day though and espcially when he gets wages in.  Suppose I'm just a soft touch, has happened before with money but never as much as that.

We have been blocking the IPs that SnowedUnder is showing up as, but there are various techniques you can use with regard to anonymising, masking or proxying your IP address. Therefore it is extremely hard to completely ban somebody, and if they behave themselves under a new alias, it can be hard to stop.

With regard to other people being affected by the IP bans, well, that shouldn't happen because we can see which members post from the IPs, and usually it's either other aliases, or else a common IP. If we think it's a common IP, we don't ban by IP.

Excuse me!

It was your contant abuse and name calling of me, which I never reported, that got you several warnings and finally a ban.
Then you were allowed back when you agreed to ignore me - you couldn't do that - banned again.
You've come on under several names and if you didn't bother with me or HH you'd go unnoticed but you can't help yourself.

Possibly the best explanation would be to pretend I was drunk, but you wouldn't believe me. It was meant to be a reference to ski-ing ("slipping") in a Mexican accent.

I know - I'm embarrassed now.

Maternity leave means a parent can devote time to a newborn child, resulting in a better child eventually to be part of society. What's the alternative? That's the best way for the child, and humans must have that as their main interest.

So what is your solution, if a woman becomes pregnant and is in employment, she shouldn't get paid for the time she is off with her new born baby?  Should she have it and get back to work the next day with the new born left in child care, should she get state benefits to help her? AZ is correct you just say stupid things for attention, sad but suppose this is your stage, so get on with the acting.

Yeah the parent can devote time to a newborn and then throw him/her with a babysitter as soon as they can.

I think you are being a little disingenuous to the parents that devote everything to their children, but every now and then avail of a generous offer of babysitting from family/friends so that they can nourish their own life just a little with some time to the shops, or a nice dinner or a movie or something.

Agree with that too, it's the ones that leave their children with a babysitter all day and dump them again every weekend.

Not from what I can see, most people (around my age) with children have a babysitter bringing them up.

Well theres a couple of reasons other than laziness that can attribute to that.

The cost of living is astronomical these days, being a stay at home mum is now a financial luxury that many two parent families simply cannot afford. Single parent families can most definitely not afford that, even with state benefits. What would you prefer, a single mum to stay at home and sponge, but be with the kids, or go out and work and pay for a babysitter?

Perfectly reasonable, and healthy for the family I would say. I'm not blaming parents at all, it's the world we live in, I just feel sorry for parents forced to work every hour God sends to be able to bring up their children in any kind of financial comfort.
It's against everything we should be about, and the claim that maternity leave, enabling a mother to spend time with her newborn, is a bad thing is unbelievable.

Surely a majority of single parents would be better off staying at home on benefits rather than working and using a large proportion of their wages paying a babysitter?

It's the governments fault.  You're better off sitting in the house on benefits than if you went out and worked for minimum wage - what sort of a system is that?

Your arguments and outrageous statements are more and more pathetic.  Let's not kid ourselves here, (parodn the pun) you love to provoke a reaction, this place is the probably the only place anyone has ever responded to you. The underlying issue is you hate kids and parents, why, only you know, you begrudge maternity and paternity leave, you give out about parents who dare avail of allocated parking spaces, (like if they are there why wouldn't they use them) you give out about parents who dare to push their child in a pram in a shopping centre, you advocate physical abuse towards young toddlers, you even slag people who have a baby on board/child on board sticker and you started ranting about breast feeding, and then you ask what issues!!!!!!  I take it you don't work for the RSPCC, although suppose you have an issue with them as well!!!! For a brief period I thought you were taking the piss, now I'm convinced you just a 100% bigot, nothing more nothing less and all your ranting just proves it more and more.

zzzzz I don't hate children.  In fact, I don't think there's anyone in this world I hate (the sister's boyfriend comes close though).
I have an issue with selfish parents.

That pathetic line doesn't work anymore, the animosity you have against children and parents is totally evident in your posts, as as for advocating physical abuse to poor kids distressed on aeroplanes!!!, oh thats right they should be banned, you did well with your posts on this issue and refusing to answer my comments and questions, but that Pints - he's some craic!!!

Look, lets draw a line in the sand.
I don't hate kids I'm sorry you don't believe that but there's not much I can do about it.
I don't advocate physical abuse of anyone but a slap on the arse of a bold child - a poll I ran on the board suggests that most people agree with me.

A good cuff round the lugs is what a lot of kids are lost for these days - spoilt brats everywhere ye go - and spoilt brats grow into selfish arsehole adults who think they can get and do what they want.

QuoteSo a woman having a baby and going on maternity leave is lazy,

No but it's her choice.

Your arguments and outrageous statements are more and more pathetic.  Let's not kid ourselves here, (parodn the pun) you love to provoke a reaction, this place is the probably the only place anyone has ever responded to you. The underlying issue is you hate kids and parents, why, only you know, you begrudge maternity and paternity leave, you give out about parents who dare avail of allocated parking spaces, (like if they are there why wouldn't they use them) you give out about parents who dare to push their child in a pram in a shopping centre, you advocate physical abuse towards young toddlers, you even slag people who have a baby on board/child on board sticker and you started ranting about breast feeding, and then you ask what issues!!!!!!  I take it you don't work for the RSPCC, although suppose you have an issue with them as well!!!! For a brief period I thought you were taking the piss, now I'm convinced you just a 100% bigot, nothing more nothing less and all your ranting just proves it more and more. 

I am going to have to say that some of pints arguments aren't over the top. Not saying u have to agree with him but :

1 He is not saying maternity leave is wrong but if the mother wants to take 9 months maternity leave then it shouldnt come out of the tax payers money... it should be unpaid leave.. which means they would still be allowed to take it.

2 he never gave out about parents who use the parent/toddler spaces he gave out about the parents who rant and rave to get these and think that they should have the god given right to park the closest to the door when they could be given better use for disabled spaces... i give the example of this woman i know that has kids of a young age that would travel 1.5 mile or so to do her week shopping with the kids and bags and gets by alright... I'm not saying they shouldnt use them once provided but Are they really necessary.

3 The baby on board sticker i didnt see his annoyance couldnt understand it but if it anniys him why let his annoyance annoy you

4. Didnt see the pram argument

5. He wasn't advocating physical abuse... asmack on the back of the hand or on the bum is exactly what some spoilt kids need...when you hear kids squealing and disobeying their parents, be it on a plane in a shop or restaraunt, it is shocking and highly irritating. i wouldnt have got away with it when i was young and i was never physically abused but got a wee smack on the bum from time to time and i knew not to do it again. I think i turned out alright :)

Maternity pay isn't full pay for 9 months, it gradually decreases until last 3 months it is nothing, the point is to encourage the mother to go back to work, but the facility is there to allow new mothers and babies to spend some quality time together.  The children are the tax payers of the future why do you think governments all over the world are offering incentives for couples to have kids, they are needed for the future economy, why is it wrong then that mothers get paid for a propotion of their maternity leave. And for the record Pints hate was

The government are worried about the tax payers of the future?  Why then do the government sit back and watch as 18 year olds attend university, pay more in tutition fees than ever before and to get into debt of thousands to come out after 3 or 4 years and have difficulty finding a job?

And I would have no issue with someone being allowed to take 6 or 12 month unpaid leave.
The employer has to fork out too if someone takes maternity leave.

Nobody reported him per se.

As for 'that thread' I voiced my concern about the direction it was likely to take. Sure enough within about 20 minutes there was a post libeling a gaa player and another extremely poor effort about gay people. In fact it was the thread starter that reported it!!

That convinced me it wasn't going to get any better.

"Take a bow son!"

What pisses me off about Gray is that the rest of the Sky Sports team seem to think he is some sort of oracle when it comes to soccer.  That Last Word programme on a Sunday is cringeworthy, Richard Keys is practically salivating as Gray disects every goal from the weekend.

Muzz, this one is an old favourite on the board. When I lived in Ireland I managed to get to about 18 All Ireland Finals by hook or by crook, many of those being lifted over the turnstiles, or with someone I was with having a wee nod to the lads on the gate. Anyway as Croker got modernised it became much more of an all ticket (for real this time) affair and I had to really go out of my way on a few occasions with some very wierd swaps and favours being done in return. Anyway I accepted this as part and parcel of the AIF experience. Then football got invented in 2002 and thankfully I had my ticket sorted brave and early but I desperately was seeking a ticket for my other half (now Missus Heganboy and mother to heganboy junior I and II) for the final (despite her being a down woman). I was also seeking for my best mate since childhood, a former member of the county panel who had emigrated. So with about 12 hours before throw in I was able to get my hands on one other ticket...
Given the dirt that my friend had on me, the fact that my now father in law already had a celtic cross of his own and the slagging I got from my Down "friends" about 5 all irelands it was my friend (later my best man) who got the ticket. Given the years of grief I have taken form my wife over that decision, it was a good job armagh won. However I was more than a little pissed to be sat beside a middle aged woman from Lurgan who 5 minutes into the game was reminded that Armagh were in Orange, and kept shouting "go number 7" or whatever number came to her head as far as I could make out on a random basis. Had no comprehension that a goal was worth 3 points and that despite being told by her companion 4 or 5 times during the game was actually convinced that Armagh had lost when the final whistle blew. She abused the ref about every decision that went aganst Armagh (or Kerry for the first 5 minutes) and decided that "Dermot Morrison was Armagh's best player"
So idiots shouting at gmaes, and idiots getting tickets are definitely on the list of grinds my gears

Much as I know that's a stir, I have to admit had I been a Tyrone fan, I can well believe it.

Of the 3 games that year Tyrone deserved to win the original Ulster final and the replay and Armagh I thought deserved the AISF but, that's football for you, and thats without mentioning 2003, when I redeemed myself somewhat by wangling a ticket for the by then fiancee. I think she brought us bad luck, she hasn't got a ticket again...

I read the inference of this type of 'rule' as 'I'll ignore the evidence presented by your actions, and judge you based on your adeptness at performing social niceties'. A recipe for a social structure which rewards the slick in my opinion!

AH no. It's basic courtesy, in any culture to look at somebody in the face and a basic insult not to, as if to say "I'm busy interacting with this other person/thing and I'm only shaking hands with you because I have to".

There's a famous picture of Nixon handshaking somebody in a crowd while looking at his watch.

When you congratulate a woman on her pregnancy and it turns out she's not expecting...

Always better to not congratulate a pregnant woman than to leave a fat girl crying  :D

People who pay for EVERYTHING with a credit card!  A bottle of water and a paper - out comes the f**king credit card!
People with their wallet/handbag full of store discount cards and then they're collecting the school vouchers and out comes the credit card FOR f**k SAKE PAY FOR YOUR THINGS AND GET OUT OF MY ROAD!
Being handed a receipt when you buy a packet of chewing gum!

Jesus Ziggy!!!

Never EVER say that unless you are 100% sure.

My missus is almost 8 months pregnant now and a woman congratulated her a few weeks back. She replied "but I'm not pregnant" with an very upset looking face. She said yer womans face drained of blood on the spot!


I've married into evil.

Lovely lady!

It's not what you think men.

All during the week, there was a girl ringing me at work, wanting to take my picture for the South-West College Prospectous. You know, former student does good type of thing. She sounded nice on the phone, so I said ok. :)

Anyway, she rings me this morning asking if she could call around and take my picture. I said aye, no bother. She arrives and takes my photo. I thought she was kinda cute. So I asked her if she was doing this job for long. She said not long, but she's leaving soon. I asked why and she said maternity leave. I said "wow, can't be long now". Threw me a dirty look and said "No!!! The woman's coming back!!"

Wanted to f**king crawl in a hole.

Aye and he/ she would be in the wrong Le , also another thing that does my head in is your in a line of traffic doing 100km per hour some fcuker overtakes you on a double white line not knowing if  another car is coming the other way and then tries to sqeeze in between you and the car in front coz if they don't they would probably be killed  stupid fcukers >:(

Jesus, Ziggy, that's weird.  I'm just this minute off google trying to find details on alternative treatments for scoliosis and i just came on to this particular thread for the first time in months.  You have my sympathies, my right leg is  killing me and i've been lying on the living room floor for the last week or so in the hope it'll help straighten my spine

Some American guy sent me a free video download of exercises to carry out to straighten the spine.  I'm in work (mad, I know) so i'll try them when i go home.  i'll give you the web address in a few minutes, all you have to do is fill out a very short questionnaire.

My problem relates to about nine years ago when i suffered a double scoliosis ... was in a bad way and underwent physio and traction in the South Tyrone three days a week for two months ... have to say the hospital was brilliant, but it took another four or five months before i was 100% ... had no bother for about four years then i was in bed for a week with excruciating leg pain, literally couldn't stand (it's always my right leg, never the back as such) ... another two years didn't have any bother then last september the pain started, it's been pretty bad this week for some reason... i'm dosed up with ibuprofen, which helps

a better system would be for you to bung all the stuff you´ve just bought back into the trolly as it is scanned, then go to a separate table/bench where bags are provided for you to pack the stuff. thus you wouldnt rushing like a f**ker at the checkout.

That is a great idea! 

It use to be that once you had paid if you'd any things still needed packed they'd help you but now they either just sit and look at you (if you're lucky) or start scanning the other person's through.  In my supermarket I tell them to help with the packing.

That would give an industrial engineer caniptions. Double handling. They should have a conveyor on the output side of the register, same as they have on the input side. You hold your bag under the end of it and your gear just falls into the bag. Worth the odd broken egg or a smashed bottle here and there, just for the efficiency. Also, checkout people should be instructed to tell women to get their money ready as they start checking, so that we don't all have to wait and watch the performance as described by 5Sams above, when she suddenly realises she has to pay for the stuff and she doesn't know where her handbag is, where her purse is in the handbag or where the money is in the purse.

i hate alcoholics/junkies on trams and busses making a load of noises and shouting random things at people who couldnt give a fcuk what they have to say... 

Junkies fair enough, but I enjoy the rambling drunk making random incoherent observations, as long as he's not violent. There are too few characters left as our brave new world relentlessly sanitises itself.

My mother ringing about five times in the space of 15 minutes and leaving 5 voice mail messages - at least three will consist of the message something like "hello pints, it's just me, ring me as SOON as you get this" "it's just me again, ring me as soon as you can" making me think someone is dead but no, there never is.   ::)


The voicemail i get when my Ma rings me goes something like this

"Hello"<pause>...."Hello"<another pause>...Then she shouts to my Da in the background   "I think im gone thru to his messages what will i do"  <another pause> " Hello" Then finally she leaves a message that would also make you think someone is dead

When you phone someone and they dont answer, then you get a text back from them saying 'were u phoning?'

CHECK YOU MISSED CALLS YOU FCUKWIT!

Its more likely they know you were ringing, and weren't arsed talking to you. But they dont want you to know they dont like you for whatever reason (mebbe cos you seem like a psycho) so they text you asking this. And as luck would have it, you buy it every time. ;D

Yeah, I'd say it's that because if you're looking them you should pay for the call.
If I've a missed call from someone and if it won't be included in my free minutes (i.e. if they're on a southern network) I'll call them back and just let it ring once and hang up so they've to phone me.   :)

I've got 100 free minutes and unlimted text messages which is fine apart from one thing...where I'm from in South armagh would only get the coverage with the free state networks meaning most of my friends and family would be with them meaning one text to them costs about 50p and a phone call to one of their mobiles costs a f**king fortune.

going into two irish bars in vienna to watch the Gaelic and finding both of them having Rugby league or all the screans instead.  One of them was even showing the cricket ffs.  i asked one of the bar men are they not showing the gaelic in the first pub and he replied, "oh is there Gaelic on today?" he went away to check then said he couldnt get it here.

tried the other irish bar and it was the same story with the rugby league, although they sent for the manager who sorted out the satelite so i could catch most of the Cavan Antrim game.

I think this was also said before, maybe even by me, but I really hate it.

T-Junction. You're waiting to turn left, or right, on to the main road. Cars travelling along the main road obviously have right of way.
You're sitting there, indicating.
Line of cars coming, just at that awkward distance where you don't want to pull out in front of them, because you'll make them brake, or slow down, so you wait for them to pass.
Gobshite at head of line waits until about 5 yards before turn before indicating to turn left onto the road you are coming off!. W#;£ker!.

Indicate in advance you donkey, not as you are turning!!

I hate that.

Mundy singing the "Galway girl" . Loved that song written & sung excellently by Steve Earle. Now every bollix in the country is going around singing it, thanks to that hippie twat. Offaly man - he should be out footing the turf instead of wrecking a perfectly good song. ;D

Having to pay stamp duty on a home I intend to use as a family base. The state has rode me black & blue now they want to ride me again, when I am trying to do my best & provide, like a good husband/ daddy should do. All this money is going to kunts claiming the dole & making twice as much money as me on the sly, also refugees getting everything for f*ck all. Sickens me

Jaysis there was one behind me in Carlow last night and she never stopped roaring abuse at her own players with this loud screech for  a voice
Everything was ..f**k this and f**king catch the ball ya **** etc etc...

Also another thing that gets om my nerves is when someone near you at a match is talking to someone at the other side of the pitch on their mobile trying to describe to them where there standing
"Do ya see the Vodafone sign?" "I'm down beside that up to the right" " Do ya see me now" (As she waves frantically) "How about now"
Sit down ya stupid bitch and watch the match

It's not just the weemen though.  And i have no problem turning around and telling people to watch their mouth, that there are children about. We can all let the odd f-word out during a match, but to be shouting obscenities across the place isn't on. Was a FErmanagh guy beaside us at the last match, probably in 30s, and he was just ridiculous, even after the announcement over the PA re the Ulster Council's No Foul Language initiative. (Although personally, i don't see a problem in discussing a nice chicken dinner... I'll get my coat.)

Nah, just thinking back to my time in Derry when I destroyed the bodywork of a car... freaked out and ran......

tut tut ziggy...

that wasn't very nice!

Ah now downgirl, a Tyrone man doing that to a Derry car. I was right to be fearful. That would be like you landing a Jeep ontop of a Porsche and a Toyota Celica in a Co-op car park...... not that I'm suggesting you'd do such a thing ;)

It was a Lexus, not a Jeep...come on now ziggy if you are gonna be making up stories at least get the facts right  :P

However, to the mother of the bride at the wedding I was at on Saturday (Ive said it before - half of us dont want to be there, and you dont want the other half to be there anyways so whats the f**king point), who made a song and dance that would have mortified the dead about me having Wee Puckooneen (sitting quietly like an angel) at the wedding (when there was nothing to the contrary to this practice in the invitation) - Id like to offer a huge, heartfelt, spite-filled - f**k YOU.

I'm never to far away. 

What do you mean 5 funerals in the last 14 months?  The last funeral I was at was two years ago - that was a family member, I don't know when the one before that was.  Taking out family members I'd hardly be at 5 funerals in my life!   ???

Why in the name of Jesus would anyone dress up (as if they're going to a wedding) to sit on a grass bank and walk around a field to various chip vans and beer tents and barely watch the races? 


There can't be any other sport in the world that attracts so many down right wankers!

95% of people go wind you up, you give the reason about women dressing up, but what about the MAJORITY of people who go, why do you hate them?

No no no - I know there's plenty of horse racing fans who go - no issue with them and yes I've been myself.

It's the people who couldnt name one horse that was running, dress up in suits or dresses and high heels to walk around a field and sit on grass and who spend their time queuing up for chips or drink when the race is on? Why?
I am told these people are in the minority at races in Ireland - I've only ever been in England where they are certainly in the majority.

The Hi-B pub in Cork has (or had - I haven't been in in a while) a sign saying "No PDA". You get barred for it. You also get barred for using mobile phones, talking too loud, singing, arguing, ordering silly drinks, asking if they have a TV, eating or asking for food, being strange looking, laughing too much or for no reason at all. (I'm not barred).

Mulligans of Poolbeg St, Baile Atha Cliath used to be like that, then they got a telly, let you use mobiles etc, etc. Still a good pub though.
A former manager of mine was once on a 'social outing' we'll call it. After a meeting of regional managers in Dundalk they were brought to Crossmaglen in a mini bus by the self appointed entertainment manager. When the round was bought and he was hand his G&T he was miffed by the lack of lemon in his glass, he approached the bar and asked for a slice of lemon! The reponse was "Did you come here for a drink or a feed, sure we don't have them things in here".

The Church of England says it is taking a complaint that a couple's young son was ordered out of their wedding for being noisy "very seriously".

Relatives of the couple complained to the Diocese of Lichfield after the two-year-old was apparently asked to leave the church in Fenton.

The Archdeacon of Stoke-on-Trent, the Venerable Godfrey Stone, is carrying out an investigation into the matter.

A spokesman said a report would be prepared before any action was taken.

Lichfield Diocese spokesman Gavin Drake said the complaint was made by relatives of the couple following their wedding last Saturday.

He said: "The Venerable Godfrey Stone has been asked to carry out a preliminary investigation and then the Bishop can decided what steps, if any, can by taken.

"It is a serious allegation. A wedding is a time of celebration and we want parents with children to feel welcome in church."

You couldn't have went in the pub before you left?

There's this festival thing going  on today where I live and me and the  woman were walking home, about 100 yards, and along the way there was three c***ts pissing in the middle of the street (this is at 7pm)with dozens about and this is a street where every other door is a pub that they could go in to to use the toilet.  One dirty **** was eating a bag of chips, stopped and pissed and went back to eating the chips - it's not hygienic!

I think most people would have (certainly men) but there's a difference of jumping behind a hedge or in to a field when you're in bad need of it and if there's no toilets around and pissing in a street in broad daylight where there's toilets maybe 10 yards away and where people (particularly women) have to walk and look at you doing it.

Know a fella who refuses to wash his hands after a slash!! His argument is that he washes his flute when he showers and he knows its clean, so why the need to wash his hands after handling it!! He reckons if your careful you can avoid any splash. Still thinkhe is a filty cnut!!

The problem arises when you first start going out and you want to impress so you start buying presents and you set a standard so as time goes on you're expected to live to that standard.

You need to set standards low from the beginning.

There has to be something done about this queuing in supermarkets!
In Tesco this morning and the woman in front held up the whole thing because she'd to find some vouchers in her bag to show the girl they were out of date and that she couldn't use them.  Why the f**k is she taking vouchers out when she knows they're out of date and can't be used!  5 minutes this went on! - These people should just be told to move on! I was tuting and sighing and shaking my head and she still didn't get the hint!  I don't seem to be fit to get anything in a supermarket without some bollocks in the queue in front of me having to find vouchers or money or their credit card.

And another one - being asked do you want a bag - how do you think I'm going to carry the shopping home!!!  >:(

I use to just take everything to the express check out but now everyone seems to be doing that so there's no benefit!

I hate using the Express checkout in Tesco's self-serve, it's supposed to make shopping quicker but it always stops while you're scanning your items and you have to wait for the assistants to clear the bloody thing before you can continue. At this stage there is queue behind me looking as pissed off as I feel!!!

Oh and people who take ages at cash machines because they have two or three cards!!!  >:(

That happens when the scales get knocked off.  When you scan the item you need to put it on the scales - it's a f**king nuisance because if you try and pack your things as your scanning them the scales get knocked off with the bags.  I think when you scan the thing the system can tell what weight you should be putting on the scales and if you don't have that weight that screen comes up saying you need assistance - it means it's difficult to get away without scanning something.

The first few times I used them it kept doing that because I'd try to pack the things as I was scanning (sometimes using my own bag) and despite some bollocks in tesco having to come over to me countless times no one thought to tell me what I was doing wrong!  The best way is to scan everything and then pack. They're quite handy if no one is at them.

I won't be the victim, I'll be the aggressor. 

I don't know what it is about them, they wind me up!
In to Sainsbury's this evening - got about 5 or 6 things and up to the express checkout - everything going well, no one in the queue and the girl scans everything in asked me for my money - which I had ready, like any good shopper - and then she's looking at me and I had to f**king ask for a bag!!  Silence from her for a good 45 seconds while she decrypts my accent (and holy f**king Jesus don't get me started on people who can't/won't understand your accent) and she says "oh you want a bag" Yes! I do. So she hands me a bag and I pack the things myself! 
I don't know what the issue is here with bags - any shop at home will hand you a bag!   


And as for people who can't understand your accent....
WE'RE ALL SPEAKING ENGLISH!

And yes Ziggy, slow drivers are as bad as fast drivers as it just annoys *nearly* everyone else behind them.  Obviously Hardstation would be panicing because 45/50mph might be pushing it a little for him.

People who race up the inside lane only to realise that the reason the other lane is blocked up is because other drivers have had the foresight to look ahead and see an obstruction, then proceed to feel hard done by when nobody lets them cut in.

Also really annoys me when people do give in and allow above mentioned dicks to cut in.

Another driving one.

People turning into somewhere. Indicate, slow down and almost stop completely in the middle of the road before then turning in.

The result is you are nearly up their hole !

Post by: Yes I Would on August 01, 2008, 01:52:16 PM
Same scenario Bensars.

Looking for a parking space, driving along, spot a space, clearly indicate to show your plannin to take space by reverse parking into it.
Moron behind drives right up arse, with traffic then built up behind him or her making getting the space an impossible task.

Moron behind then realises error of his ways, but damage is done!! Arrrggggghhhh. Does my f**king head in!!

Trust me i hate wee boy racer types that hog the roads and flaunt the limits etc but this very much a once off.
actuallly i put it down t o the excitement of getting off early on a friday, and looking forward to takin the new road to croker and experiencing the new stadium and spendin some euros (thats the new currency down there isnt it), its been that long since us Down folk have been near the place......any Armagh men care to give me proper directions....

hey hey down girl- twoo-twoo!!!...lol

i couldnt honestly say how far id been inside the zone, sure most of that stretch from Dromore, Hillsborough, loghbrickland, banbridge is traffic calming in and out between 40-60. Worst thing is i thought i had that road sussed a long time ago sayin i travel it so much and had a fair idea of where they would be, but the buggers were very sneaky..although they werent hiding, but my view was obscured and i didnt realise i was being pulled over or they were actually there til i had approached them  and by then it was far too late.

Sure if he had explained about the match he probably woulda been given more penalty points because it's not their type of football...

What are you twoo-twoo-ing for??!!

Oh yea, I drove that way the other way down from Craigavon because I had to go to Burren before going home, satnav took me a weird way through Guilford, Scarva then not the signposted way to Newry?  I dunno.  The cops are sneaky though, that same night I was coming home from Burren was coming through Clough and they were just standing there before you go up the hill and to be honest, Im glad there was a queue of traffic in front of me to slow me down cus normally I would be going about 35mph going up to that hill like...

lucy kennedy on the other hand, i get the impression she wants to break free from the whole comedic femme role from podge n rodge and is tryin for something away above her station right now, she doesnt bother me as much.

yes it was non-sensical statement to make but its just davina this and davina that, as if they had all known her their entire lives and they were best buds with her....just does me head in. i know it might not make sense but its as if they all see her as this long lost favourite sister they can all confide in and tell their "problems" to in full confidence(in front of 1000s of viewers.)..i just cant have her.

Yes lucy is too orange for her own good and does need a boot in the arse but she is tolerable.

Isn't it a pity they wouldn't do something useful with their time.  A few years ago I got caught I was only after passing my test for a few months so had the R plates on, was driving up to Belfast then I heard a siren looked in the mirror and there was a fella on a motorbike telling me to pull in I nearly died...He got me to go out and look at what speed I was doing...64.99mph!!!  I talked my way out of it though!!!  :D

So catching people breaking the law speeding and maybe saving a few lifes in the process by making people slow down isn't doing something usefull  ::)

Well laoislad you don't have R plates so you can't comment on them but basically they are a waste of time so technically I was going 4.99mph over the spped limit so come on like the amount of people I have seen overtaking me when I am doing roughly 60 and who fly away on past me and they stop people doing a few mph over the speed limit?!  And more to the point why aren't they out in my local town stopping people selling drugs to children, stopping wee lads from raking round the town in the middle of the night etc etc...so yes, they should be doing something more useful with their time.

I can comment about anything i want...What has these R plates got to do with my opinion ???
So basically you were breaking the law and you got caught so tough shit,next time don't break the law..
You were only doing 5 miles over the speed limit you say,This could have been the difference between you or someone else dying if you were to hit them
As for them not doing anything about stopping people selling drugs etc well i can't comment on the PSNI but i would say that completly shows your ignorance with everything regarding how a police force works,They do have units out catching these people,There are Garda units risking their lives everyday in drug busts and the like..
But they also have Traffic cores to stop people speeding and risking their and other peoples lives,
Poor little you,you got caught breaking the law and who is the first person you blame?....the police ::)
How about growing up and start blaming yourself for breaking the speed limit in the first place..

Bollocks, there's no technically about. An R Plate limit is 45mph, therefore you were 20 over the limit. POints and a fine are the least you should have got.

People who make their bebo profiles private...what's the point in being signed up to a social networking site if you block your profile?

So perverts won't look at it. Simple really.

Well not stalking, merely keeping an eye on the profile of the fella I am currently after, some girl keeps giving him hearts and her profile is private so I can't get on to see if she is after him or not.  How annoying!

I'm glad you had a go at him.

A few years ago I went for swimming lessons at the Leisure Centre at Omagh. I was about to pull in at the only remaining disabled parking space when another guy pulled in infront of me. Popped out of the car, threw a bag over his shoulders and jogged into the complex. Bastard.  >:(

My mum has MS and she has a disabled badge but she only uses it when her MS is really bad but at the same time I'm sure people see her getting out of the car and they probably don't realise how bad her mobility is and they probably think why is she parking there.  But in fairness now she would never be able to jog, did you report yer man ziggy?

Was walking from the Ormeau Dunnes carpark into the shop last night when some bimbo in one of those sporty Hyundai coupes came bailing over the speed ramp and near took the legs from under me. The tra m p* then pulled up and parked on the double yellows outside the front door. W a n k er...  >:(

What also grinds my gears - all those Belfast pricks that double park wherever they feel like on the Ormeau Rd no matter even if Donaghs motor is legally parked up the kerb inside them.

Doesn't matter what walk of life you come from redcard, some people are just thoughtless.

A lot of people think it's because the parking is nearer to the premises. It's not that, it's that the parking space is wider, allowing easier access in and out of the car.

Couple tips LL -

Play of the grass as much as you can. Cart paths, really only are for carts.

The white spherical object labelled "titleist 1" (or in your case Dunlopxxxx) is the object of connection with the driver

Tee the ball up away from the tee markers (especially if made of stone)

Beat the Mrs with the old driver, not the new one.


Hope this helps - happy golfing!

No parent sticks a pram in the way just so people cant get up and down.

Youngsters need a bit of respect for the elderly, and for poor aul parents with chislers.


Just ask pints about the mother and baby parking spaces, spaces I have proudly started to use, and will continue to, until the kids are away at college.

The way I look at it is that Id give someone with a pram the same courtesy, and Id have hoped people would have done the same to my mother.

Who is getting pissy? 


Its your assumption that people are "taking the biscuit" that is the issue here - maybe she had no idea, maybe it was an unconcious decision?

Would you bet your life that she did it on purpose?

If not then cut the lady a break - sure yer alive and well and there were no spots on the dress and Id bet my life that it didnt take you more than a few extra seconds out of your way.


Maybe if you went to bed earlier and got some sleep you wouldnt be so picky....



By the way - you should never start a sentence with "And".

people with pushchairs/prams.

You said it pints, its worse when they are in shops with narrow aisles and think they own the place and can push their pram out and just take over the whole show. 
You said it.

I swear, when I have kids I will not be this selfish.  Idiots.  They think the world revolves around them  ::)
They think they're it, everyone move for the pushchair- the child is rarely in the pushchair either, they're normally wrecking the shop.

Yaaaaaaaaawn.

I have studied it scientifically, over the entire island, and have noted that parents are no different anywhere.  They all think they own shopping aisles, pavements, parking spaces and should be first in every queue just because they have a pushchair.  My wife and I are expecting in January coming and we both agree we will NOT behave like f**king morons just because we have a child in a pushchair/pram

The amount of noise outside my house at 7 o'clock in the morning, starts with beep beep beep as a lorry backs up to a place across the street and then they start wheeling these trolly like things (I've no idea what's in them) over cobble stones, it goes on a lot of evenings around 7pm too.  Isn't there a law against making noise at that time in the morning, woudl you write to the council to complain?
I normally be near due to get up anyway but being woken every morning with that amount of noise is f**king mentally exhausting!
No wonder I'm grumpy.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.  Think it relates to all noise, I assume if someone lives in the area it's considered a residential area. 
Have been looking on the local council website but can't find anything, don't want to be a **** and report them but I'm being woke at 7 or before it 6 days a week for 5 months now, can't have it for much longer.

No problem - so what grinds your gears is people working - would you rather them be on the dole!  You obviously have some cushy job in an office - you know the milk and bread you buy - the oil you get delivered - the bins you leave out to be collected etc etc etc - people have to get up early to do these - maybe double glazing should be invested in - seriously, if your that annoyed.

No, I'd rather they stick to the law (like I have to in my job, which isn't in an office) and not start making noise until they are suppsoe to, 8am.  People have to get up early to do various jobs but they aren't making an nuisance out of themselves doing it.

What is this law you quote - do not annoy me - what about fire engines doing their jobs at 6am or ambulances rushing to an emergancy at 7am - or maybe you'd rather your bin wasn't collected or milk wasn't delivered - this is one bizzare gripe - what about few folk coming home late/early etc - basically you want to sleep undisturbed - fair play - ever considered moving or again investing in double glazing?

There is double glazing but it's interesting your answer to noisey neighbours is either me being out quite a lot of money on double glazing or moving house. 
Fire engines and ambulances? Yes that's the same thing  ::)
Milk delivered? Does that happen anymore?
Bins collected? my bins aren't collected at that time but at least if they were it might be a few minutes of noise and not continued noise.
Same goes for people coming home late/early. 

I just have an objection to people making constant and continuous noise outside my house from 7am or before it six days a week - I don't think that's unreasonable but I suspect you don't think it's unreasonable either but you're only interested in having a go at me. You remind me of someone else who use to post here.

So manufacturers of Lorries should do away with the beep beep when reversing - I thought that was a health and safety issue - no?

Arthur emergency services is a completely different matter it will be a siren that will be there for a few minutes maximum and at 5am they usually wouldn't use the siren unless necessary when they are in built up areas as there wouldn't be a lot of traffic on the roads.

Yeah cause all my posts are to you in relation to parent/toddler spaces.  I seriously think it's ironic that someone who hates everything and everyone can take exception to someone questioning them as to why - oh and your lapdog his holiness will no doubt be on to back you up, oh and LaoisLad, ziggy - all the unquestionable high count posters.  :D

I usually get moved on by the supergrass of the board his holiness but always happy to come back.  As i say it's an enjoyable place to fill time especially on a bank holiday Monday when I have to work. 

So in essence you are saying you can say what you want, someone questions it you say - get over it girl and you can then say what you want unchallenged.

There you go again with your, "I'm only posting because I'm working" - are you that insecure that you need to keep telling us that? Not everyone has a James Bond lifestyle you know.

Not at all if it floats your boat to click on the net and post fair play - I spend half my waking life working - so unfortunately I do not have a James bond lifestyle, hence I only browse the net etc when working.

I do understand that it's the attention you like/crave - which is why you make such broad sweeping controversial statements.  I probably pander a bit to you on this point, but I just can't let a thing lie.  ;)

Excuse me for butting in Alice and Sally, but Ive decided to post something.

Feel free to resume this beautiful tango when Im done.



Went to mass last night, was in the crying room and some couple were there with their kid - anyways, this trememdous aroma of shite arises. Its obviously coming from their chisler, and so the mother rightlly checks they young girls nappy - but doesnt do anything about it. Now bear in mind that mass over here lasts over an hour - and we are only at the responsorial psalm. Eventually, after sniffing in draughts of this young girls crap for almost 20 minutes - I pick up the baby and say to the wife - maybe its Wee Puck (knowing full well its not). They then got the hint that the whole f**king chapel could probably smell it at this point. The father (who must have been fully engaged in the homily) then huffs and puffs and finally takes the youngster out to the toilet to change her.

Surely the first thing a parent teaches a child that can walk is that they don't run away from them?

And there's no excuse for a parent to stand and allow a child to do this and then watch while he/she creates havoc and wait until someone has to ask them to control their child!

At no point did I EVER say or imply this, this was an adage from Pints many moons ago as I inferred that his life was maybe less than full, living so much as he does in cyberspace.  But of course in true lapdog guise facts mean little to you and instead you'd rather breast feed from Pints and quote shite, hope you dine well.  :-*

Well thats just not true. You are constantly banging on about other peoples lives while trying to back this up with numbers of posts etc, in fact you do this to anyone who confronts you. At the same time you curiously feel the need to remind us all that you only post while bored at work.
He doth protest too much methinks  ;)

Another pathetic little tactic there. In fact probably the only thing I agree with Pints on, is you being an unpleasant person. Then again its easier to pretend me and Pints are in cohoots rather than face up to the truth.
But I'll tell you one thing, me or Pints didnt ban you numerous times, as much as you would like to blame us. Mods arent stupid, they dont just ban you when you are reported for something.

Incidentally, your breast feeding comparison is pretty sick, but not at all surprising.

I'm sure you wont get this until tomorrow anyway as you are probably out jet skiing with bikini clad babes while drinking martini right now,
Or buck naked in your bedroom in your ma's house with pizza crust sitting on you belly, who knows  ;)

At no point did I EVER say or imply this, this was an adage from Pints many moons ago as I inferred that his life was maybe less than full

Well thats just not true. You are constantly banging on about other peoples lives while trying to back this up with numbers of posts etc, in fact you do this to anyone who confronts you. At the same time you curiously feel the need to remind us all that you only post while bored at work.
He doth protest too much methinks  ;)

Quote from: Arthur on August 25, 2008, 07:12:38 PM
But of course in true lapdog guise facts mean little to you and instead you'd rather breast feed from Pints and quote shite, hope you dine well.  :-*

Another pathetic little tactic there. In fact probably the only thing I agree with Pints on, is you being an unpleasant person. Then again its easier to pretend me and Pints are in cohoots rather than face up to the truth.
But I'll tell you one thing, me or Pints didnt ban you numerous times, as much as you would like to blame us. Mods arent stupid, they dont just ban you when you are reported for something.

Incidentally, your breast feeding comparison is pretty sick, but not at all surprising.

I'm sure you wont get this until tomorrow anyway as you are probably out jet skiing with bikini clad babes while drinking martini right now,
Or buck naked in your bedroom in your ma's house with pizza crust sitting on you belly, who knows  ;)





It is true - quote me - I dare you.

Nah i deleted - read DELETED snowed under - he was never ever banned - I even emailed mod3 to get him removed.  :-*

Oh I'm on 24/7 call this week - so I'm about.   ;)

Petrol prices - as soon as the price of a barrel goes up, the pump prices rise. For a month there the price fell steadily and only a marginal drop, none in some places. It rises slightly again and straight away the prices go up again in some stations.  >:(  >:(  >:(

What opinions are these? That I don't agree with taking up space in front of a supermarket for parent/toddler spaces and think they should be used for disabled spaces?  That show's me as being bitter and twisted?
Or is it that I agree with the physical discipline (not hte beating) of children - and when we ran a poll on that a big majority of the board agreed with me.  Does that show me as being bitter and twisted?

I was more leaning to the generalisations that all parents are selfish, that all parents are lazy that children annoy you as they don't conform to "your" society's ideas of social edicate. I was leaning to advocating hitting a toddler a slap, to bad mouthing a parent for taking their child in prams in shoping centres or shops rather than, I don't know tying them up like a dog outside, for abusing them because a supermarket has designated spaces to help parents.  Then their is just your other bitter traits, students, people who wear certain clothes, people who pay for things by cheque - basically everyone is a tool bar you.  :o

I dont think all parents are selfish - just a lot.  I think that if you have a child it should be a the centre of your life (I suppose that's evidence that I hate children) and a parent can bring up children without making a nuisance out of themselves and acting like they're the only human being in history to look after children.  It's more today's generation I think that are like this.
There's shops where I live that ask people to leave prams/pushchairs at the door, that's because there's no room inside for them and they are not strictly a necessity like a wheelchair may be.  I don't mind parent's having pushchairs/prams where there are plenty of room but there is a large percentage that think you have to get out of the way when they are coming with one. 

As for my other bitter traits?
Students - don't recall ever saying anything about them - a lot will get a shock when they join the real world but that's hardly an unpopular view. 
People who wear certain clothes?  What comments have I made on this as I couldn't give a shite what someone wears. 
IT wasn't paying for things by cheque - it was paying for a packet of chewing gum and a bottle of water by a credit card - again I dont think this would be an unpopular view.

Wait till he starts pissing round the bathroom floor because he cant control things and you are regularly walking through it in your bare feet or socks or worse, he decided he'd clean it up and you've to gather up a roll of piss soaked toilet roll and pull another roll out of the toilet.

Well you can get them to do things for you and you could park in the parent/toddler spaces without worrying about getting in trouble.  You can also shoplift by slipping stuff in their prams or pushchairs.  You probably get free money every week for them too.

One good way to deal with this is to play cliche bingo at meetings. Pick a couple of known offenders and have a competition among a few people (unknown to the offenders) by putting a tick against their name for every "going forward" or "thinking outside the box" or "stepping up to the plate" they come out with. At the end of the meeting say "one further item - the results of the cliche bingo". Gather all the scoresheets, add up the ticks and make a very public presentation (a  wee certificate prepared in advance, maybe) to the worst offender.

Problem is, gobshites like this will probably take it as an honour.

Also - how do you deal with those annoying p***ks who make every statement sound like a question by raising the intonation at the end of the sentence? You know the thing - this week's results are bad? We need to make improvements?, etc.

Maybe you could keep saying "I don't know" at the end of their sentences. When they ask what you mean, say "sorry - I thought you were asking me a question".

Ah, so we are getting closer to the truth. you are on call, but not actually working. And therefore posting from home while not at work.

So you post while "at work" and while at home not working, just like the people you repeatedly slag for doing the exact same thing.

Imagine that with broadband and the technology out there, you can actuall work from home especially if you are doing 24/7 cover.  ::) :-*

Ah, so we are getting closer to the truth. you are on call, but not actually working. And therefore posting from home while not at work.

So you post while "at work" and while at home not working, just like the people you repeatedly slag for doing the exact same thing.

Strange considering your life is allegedly much more exciting and meaningful than the rest of us  :D

I would post the link for the word hypocrite, but you already seem to have it  ;D ;D

:D :D :D :D  :D You are a numpty - it is possible when you are on call - you actually get called, therefore you will be logged on.  :-*  As for the exciting life you quote - either put up the posts or shut up - lapdog.   :-* :-*

Probably the reason I dont bother with Ebay anymore, idiots bidding away (and ending up paying more for something used when it can be got cheaper new!) when everyone knows you bid 5 minutes from the end.

I hope you're not talking about me as I haven't insulted anyone, called anyone a name or even got personal, I've simply defended myself.

With the reporting of posts, what's the point if the abuser wears a ban like some sort of badge of honour and and excuse to abuse.  See illdecide, he hasn't stopped talking about a ban that was for 2 days about 3 months ago now. 
Are you able to confirm for him that it wasn't me who reported him?

I normally be near due to get up anyway but being woken every morning with that amount of noise is f**king mentally exhausting!

I don't know about that - the killing spree nearly started this evening.
I walked up to the checkout (after having to plough through two people taking up a whole aisle doing nothing in particular) and this cow! throws the basket down sideways in the little pile of baskets so I'd to fix her's before I could get rid of mine.  She then spends 30 seconds looking at the stuff I'm buying and another 30 seconds looking me up and down!
It comes to her turn at the till and the girl at the checkout politely asked her "do you need any help packing" to which the bollocks replied "hmmm...hmmmm, no I think I'm fine". Then she goes to get a bag but decides against it and  says to the girl on the checkout "will you give me some bags because I can never do them" DO WHAT? TAKE A BAG, OPEN IT AND PUT YOUR THINGS IN IT!!!
So the bollocks then takes out the credit card to pay it - fair enough she's getting a few things - but in between putting the card in and putting in her pin she has to reply to a text.  Then when she eventually! pays and gets her things packed she has to make a call before she can move on!

I know I've some form of supermarket rage but surely we can all agree that yon was a bollocks.

The reason you go to the supermarket every day is because you're a greedy fecker!  You should just be connected to a protein drip and drag it round behind you to keep you filled up!

I dont change the oil either. I let on like I do, but I really just lie under the car for a bit and then take it down the garage.

If you don't go to the shop everyday what do you do for food?

I don't know. Men are not supposed to worry about that. The woman looks after that department. If you haven't a woman there's restaurants and pubs and things.

I don't ask her to change the oil.
See that's what's wrong - I need a homemaker. Does anyone know any good ones?

What are you on about changing oil though, you mean in the chip pan?

People who question another person's manhood because he used mouthwash but seem to spend most of their lives in supermarkets. Real men don't shop.
:D

I go to the supermarket nearly every day - doesn't everyone?
I know the housemate should be really doing it but she's after burning boiled eggs so I think that that's all that needs to be said on her homemaking skills.

Never, once a fortnight on the internet. You spend enough time on the internet, get your stuff delivered.

I use to do that but the supermarket is 5 minute walk away so I don't bother now.
Surely you dont buy two weeks worth of bread?
You can't get two weeks worth of fruit and veg either?
Now don't tell me you do your shopping online for two weeks and dont step foot in a shop!

Puck and Maggie, do you actually like grocery shopping?? Even at peak times??  I hate it...generally we would go at 10 or 11 at night (24hour shops do have their advantages) and thus avoid a whole lot of hassle...the only problem with going too late is that they are restocking the shelves so there are boxes all over the show!!

Usually that happens if the water hasn't been drained away properly, its a safety thing that you can't open the door and then flood the place.  Does it look like there' still water in it?

Nah it's got that wee button on it to release the door, it's been sticking and you need to press the button 5 or 6 times before the door will open and now it won't, I'd say it's that that's fucked now. 
Water drained away fine.

Power walkers grind my gears a little.

They always look angry. There is no difference in the facial expression or the walk of a woman when she is angry than in a perfectly calm woman power walking. It' hard to tell when a power walker is approaching whether she will burst ye or greet ye with a grunt.
Many of them tend to let a grunt out of them when they walk past ye.
Ye just feel like you'd had better not obstruct a power walker or you're in for it.  
It's a little intimidating.

No offence Downgirl :)

Haha no I am nice when I'm out walking, I say hi to people I pass even though they don't always say hi back!!  As for the facial expression I try to keep mine sort of half normal because you never know what sexy Ardglass fellas would drive past you!!!  :D

No it was a woman who hit her hand/fist of it and cracked the mirror!  :o
I've no idea how she managed it or how her hand wasn't broke!

I'm a peasant too. But tins are for beans. Draft stout comes from a keg and there's a fine pub down the road. At home it's a bottle, preferably accompanied by a half one.

It'll be twitching for a week tomorrow.  The left eye was doing it as well but it's quit it now adn it's just the right one.  It was running water last night and this morning too  :-\ Thought it was because I was tired but I've got loads of rest all weekend and it's still at it.

I beg to differ pints.

You may be able to see clearly and have no problems with your vision. However, the reason for that is, you are putting extra strain on your eyes to make up the eye sight. With that, it can clear to either sore eyes, bloodshot eyes or in your case, twitching eyes.

All members of a club can't be guaranteed a ticket - sure you can pay 20 quid a year to be a member and have feck all involvement with the club, being a member of a club doesn't mean your more deserving than a non member.

All club members are guranteed a ticket, fact, it iis just a case where a club member will come in to pick up his ticket and they will maybe give him 2, (One for the Mrs) leaving some poor member short, Croke has a record of each club and no of club members so thats the allocation they will get maybe a few extra, but it is the people getting the tickets that are not members leaving a no of members standing one arm as long as the other

All club members are guranteed a ticket, fact, it iis just a case where a club member will come in to pick up his ticket and they will maybe give him 2, (One for the Mrs) leaving some poor member short, Croke has a record of each club and no of club members so thats the allocation they will get maybe a few extra, but it is the people getting the tickets that are not members leaving a no of members standing one arm as long as the other

That's the greatest load of crap I have ever heard - what rule says this - please please tell me - I'm begining to thing it's good these people aren't getting a ticket - sound like band wagon jumpers who know nothing about the GAA.

Sorry the second one underlined beats it hands down.  :D :D :D

A lot of these have probably been mentioned before but anyway...

People who drive at 50mph in a 60 limit
People who don't use signals at roundabouts (esp mini roundabouts)
People who don't acknowledge you when you let them pull out or do them a good turn on the road
Commentators calling a short free a 'quick free' no matter if it took the player 20 minutes to take it
People looking a free in a hurling match when someone loses their hurl and continues to tackle an opponent (the 'he's got no hurl!' shout) - it's not a bloody foul!!
Undercooked chips
People who cant listen to a reasonable argument
Long masses
Getting beat by a point
Cars with blue headlights – always think they are the cops coming up behind me
People who go out for a night to have a row
Careless match reports in newspapers where the journalists obviously haven't bothered their holes to check facts but just throw in a few famous players' named and a few well worn clichés to make up the stories
People who believe (and act on) what they read for their horoscopes in the newspapers - I mean for god's sake...!

And many more

I'm a crabit hoor

Normally yeah but I've been working late this week and it's been chippy and chinese every night and it gets a bit sickening.

It was chicken in a cheese sauce - it looked nice but the cheese sauce tastes strangely similar to their chicken soup - and as for the  "chicken" - well about 5% of it may have been chicken at some stage.

I need a cook.

Women with kids...
Do they really think they have more of a right to everything and don't have to abide by certain rules of the roads or even common manners because they have kids?

Why do they have to drop them off right at the school gates? I know when i was a kid from the age of 7 onwards i either walked,cycled or when i went to secondary school i got the bus.

Nowadays they are dropped right off at the gate by their parents or if they are getting a bus they will pull up at the side of the road and the kids won't get out of car until the bus comes,Usually this is a small country road and they park the car in such a way that only one car can get pass at a time,Would it be too much to ask to let the child out and let them wait for the Bus? If their cold give them a f**king coat,if its raining give them a Umbrella but don't be blocking the road on everyone else...
Fair enough if the child is in Primary school but most of the ones I see are secondary school kids

Also would it be too much to ask to indicate when pulling into a space at the school or god forbid even indicate when pulling out???
You blow the car horn at them and they give you a look as if to say."I'm a mother with kids I don't have to indicate,park legally and i can pull out into oncoming traffic if i want because I am mother with kids!"

What about taxi drivers, who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are taxi drivers?  What about delivery lorries who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are delivery lorries?  What about the vast majority of people who think indicator lights are for show and never use them at roundabouts.  What about people who sit at 60 in the overtaking lane - causing people to undertake as they have no road sense.  What about young people speeding in estates and around schools?  What about people who insist on smoking, being on the phone, drinking, eating when driving - all of which are distractions? What about people who park in reserved spaces because they are too lazy or selfish to walk a few yards?  What about people who drive with no insurance, no tax, no driving licences - there is a hell of a lot worse on the road than a few women rushing to get the kids to schooll.

If he couldn't get past the lorry, why did he stop the traffic?

Sorry didn't realise i needed to spell it out - there was a big lorry delivering drink to a pub, it was parked outside facing down the wrong way  with the "hazzards on" so and here is the science bit - to get pass - he had to stop oncoming traffic on the other side so he could get round, as he was blocked in from behind by other poor sods trying to use the road in a legal manner - understand now?

I'm with you, by the way, pubs and shops should be made to go and collect their gear from the distributors.

Yeah be some shout with the guy no where to be seen; least if a member of your family is stuck in a simliar situation or god forbid worse, you can dispense with your pearls of wisdom and tell them sure it maybe illegal but sure it has to be done.   ::) ::)

Do they really think they have more of a right to everything and don't have to abide by certain rules of the roads or even common manners because they have kids?

Why do they have to drop them off right at the school gates? I know when i was a kid from the age of 7 onwards i either walked,cycled or when i went to secondary school i got the bus.

Nowadays they are dropped right off at the gate by their parents or if they are getting a bus they will pull up at the side of the road and the kids won't get out of car until the bus comes,Usually this is a small country road and they park the car in such a way that only one car can get pass at a time,Would it be too much to ask to let the child out and let them wait for the Bus? If their cold give them a f**king coat,if its raining give them a Umbrella but don't be blocking the road on everyone else...
Fair enough if the child is in Primary school but most of the ones I see are secondary school kids

Also would it be too much to ask to indicate when pulling into a space at the school or god forbid even indicate when pulling out???
You blow the car horn at them and they give you a look as if to say."I'm a mother with kids I don't have to indicate,park legally and i can pull out into oncoming traffic if i want because I am mother with kids!"




What about taxi drivers, who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are taxi drivers?  What about delivery lorries who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are delivery lorries?  What about the vast majority of people who think indicator lights are for show and never use them at roundabouts.  What about people who sit at 60 in the overtaking lane - causing people to undertake as they have no road sense.  What about young people speeding in estates and around schools?  What about people who insist on smoking, being on the phone, drinking, eating when driving - all of which are distractions? What about people who park in reserved spaces because they are too lazy or selfish to walk a few yards?  What about people who drive with no insurance, no tax, no driving licences - there is a hell of a lot worse on the road than a few women rushing to get the kids to schooll.

No there's not women are the worst!

Ah right so - obviously sensable logic holds no sway on this thread.  ::)



The thread is "what grinds your gears"...Women with Kids grind my gears.....Are you not able grasp the meaning of the thread?


You probably won't answer but does that include your mother, your aunites, your sisters - obviously your ain't married or if you are you have no kids.  ::)

Did you read my post? I said i walked/cycled got the bus to school from when I was 7 i didn't need my mother to drive me to school and pull in off the road without indicating,drop me off then pull straight out into traffic without indicating..
I don't have any Aunties so i can't comment but if my sisters turn out like some of the bitches i come across every day i won't hesitate to point out their errors to them

Went to the shop for some milk this morning. The girl toul me that they didn't have any because the delivery lorry couldn't get parked and didn't want to block a lane of traffic, so it fucked off. That really grinds my gears.

Guy I knew had to run out on the street and literally stop the traffic because his wife was in labour and he couldn't get pass a delivery lorry blocking his lane on his way to hospital!  That really would grind your gears.  ::) ::)
If he couldn't get past the lorry, why did he stop the traffic?

Sorry didn't realise i needed to spell it out - there was a big lorry delivering drink to a pub, it was parked outside facing down the wrong way  with the "hazzards on" so and here is the science bit - to get pass - he had to stop oncoming traffic on the other side so he could get round, as he was blocked in from behind by other poor sods trying to use the road in a legal manner - understand now?
What idiot sits behind any veichle that has stopped without trying to get around it?  That would grind my gears before the lorry that's blocking one side of the road.

An idiot in rush hour in a narrow street where the on coming traffic is relentless - just a guess.  ::)  And he didn't sit - he got out and stopped the oncoming traffic so he could get round - just in case you didn't read my post.

I see. Poor man. I'm sure when he shouted out the window to the lorry driver "Could you move thon lorry a minute, the forkinknife is ready to blow the whistle" he was told that they'd be 10 minutes. 'Tis a toughie. Luckily, he was able to call in for a celebratory pint.
I'm with you, by the way, pubs and shops should be made to go and collect their gear from the distributors.

Yeah be some shout with the guy no where to be seen; least if a member of your family is stuck in a simliar situation or god forbid worse, you can dispense with your pearls of wisdom and tell them sure it maybe illegal but sure it has to be done.   ::) ::)

You'd pull a thread because one person cant get over his dislike for a couple of other posters?
Why is it that personal abuse towards certain posters is ignored by the mods even after it's reported and a pm sent?

I don't do foreplay ziggy. 

I've to get this park and ride bus thing everyday and f**k me there's always some pair nearly shagging on it!  The worst was a few weeks ago at about half 7 in the morning these pair were almost riding in the seat in front of me! At HALF SEVEN! I hardly have the energy to brush my teeth! To make matters worse, when he did get off the bus it got stuck intraffic and he he stood and the window blowing kisses at her for 5 minutes.  Pass the bucket! Then you go to tesco and you can't get near the sausages because there's some pair standing kissing! The last time I mentioned this on this thread it was because I'd to look at these two, who were the age of my mother and father!, near shagging on a train!

I don't do foreplay ziggy. 

I've to get this park and ride bus thing everyday and f**k me there's always some pair nearly shagging on it!  The worst was a few weeks ago at about half 7 in the morning these pair were almost riding in the seat in front of me! At HALF SEVEN! I hardly have the energy to brush my teeth! To make matters worse, when he did get off the bus it got stuck intraffic and he he stood and the window blowing kisses at her for 5 minutes.  Pass the bucket! Then you go to tesco and you can't get near the sausages because there's some pair standing kissing! The last time I mentioned this on this thread it was because I'd to look at these two, who were the age of my mother and father!, near shagging on a train!

THERE'S A TIME AND A PLACE!



Couldn't agree more..I hate any sort of PDA
I also hate fellas who are pussy wipped,these are the sort of lads who when you ask them to go for a pint they will ring the gf/wife first and ask her or they bring her along to the pub with them which is even more annoying..
We have a fella in our group of friends who won't do anything or go anywhere without his woman..We were organising a trip to Anfield and he wanted to bring the woman with him..
Also I can't understand fellas who have to ring their woman 3 or 4 times a day whats that all about? I see enough of her at home without having to have a hourly update of her day..
You be out at a match with them or in a pub and they have to ring them nearly on the hour every hour to see how she is  ::)

100% correct.  You whole friday afternoon in my work is talk of who is and isn't allowed to go to the pub FFS! Most of monday morning is spent complaining that the woman wouldnt speak to them all day saturday because he hwent for a pint on the friday evening?  One of the lads I work with was best man for his brother and his woman was in the huffs for weeks becasue he was going away on a stag weekend! She would have been out the door if it was me!

It's not just men though, it's couples in general who cant do something unless they're together.
And don't get me started on couples that think they can sit in the pub and she doesnt have to buy a round!

I don't mind the buying a round thing to be honest but I do agree about couples who cant do something unless there together....
I would not accept that sort of behaviour from a woman,That might sound like bravado talk but its not,There is no way I would stay with a woman if she had a huff every time I went for a pint or went away on a stag,or if i had to ask her first
Luckily my Gf isn't like that and we actually both agree that we enjoy time apart from each other every now and again,I think its a sign of a good relationship when you don't have to spend every waking hour together it shows there is trust there,These woman who get in a mood because their fella is going for a pint or away for the weekend obviously don't trust them or are insecure about there relationship....
Another thing that drives me around the bend is cuddling in bed...IMHO bed is only for two things.....sleeping and riding thats it....

Are they coming straight from the offy? Maybe the feckers give them a good shake when they see you coming! They definitely overspill the top of the can but you need to start tipping it into the glass before it gets on your seats. Obviously!

Come on Minder we know that is your tipple of choice so no need to pretend it was some fella!

It used to be a real favourite at school. The fellas used to neck some of the cider to leave enough room for the special brew and then poured it into the cider!

Not that simple, he woudl suffer from depression, had almost ot be talked of a ledge at one stage.  You boys think I'm negative! Holy f**k yous should meet him.  Basically his life hasnt moved on from he was 16, he's obviously not particularly happy about this and would happily see others fail, including his two life long friends, whether it be in work, relationships, financially etc.  Any set back in life you would tell him about would be met with snide remarks and sneering.  I nearly fell out with him a couple of years ago because he accused me and the other mate of thinking we were better than him as we were gently encouraging him to try and get out of dead end job he's been in since he was 16! - on minimum wage, can't afford to move out of home! etc 
So last night he might have made one snide remark too many - about hoping I fall on my face with a financial risk I've taken. 
It's hard to keep putting these things down to an illness.

ah thats a tough one pog depression is an afull ilness so i can understand why you would have to be carefull what you say to him. I had a childhood friend who the last few years was just taking me for granted only ring up when he would want something be it money, borrow the car, ect really started to annoy me till eventually one day whe he rang up looking for money again i had a couple of words with him told him how i felt and we got it all sorted.

Post by: pintsofguinness on October 11, 2008, 12:06:55 PM
But you see that's the thing I don't know if you put these things down to depression or not.  I think he sometimes uses the illness to allow him to say or do what he wants but illness or not I think he should know not to say the things he does, I don't know if that's unreasonable  ???

I can't stand being in the company of begrudgers and thats what this fella sounds like to me,He is depressed because he made nothing of himself or his life and he resents the fact you and your other mate have..He is not much of a friend anyway if he wants you to fail
My advice is just forget about him and move on

There is these 5 aul bats get the same train as me every evening, they insist on sitting together always and its nark nark nark all the way for a painful 15 min train ride that seems like an hour. When they get off the train (always first because they get on the end carriage) there is a 40 yard long walkway up on to the road they insist on stopping in the entrance to the road to start f**king saying cheerio and hugging each other and all that ballix blocking access to the road, meanwhile there are about 120 people trying to get off the walkway to their cars.
Someone should drive the shoulder into a couple of them.

Might get his book. Remember reading an article about him and like Pints says in reality he is the polar opposite of his onscreen persona. He spends almost all his time with his family and is rarely seen at the opening of an envelope unlike most of the no marks spawned by reality shows. He's at the top of his tree and doesn't need stuff like that to boost his profile. I'd say he's a sound bloke.

Obviously he's not as successful as you LL. ;)

aye he says in the book his ideal night outis getting home around 9, going on the net to browse ebay and watching tv with the wife and kids and the dogs.

He wouldnt do some tv advertisement a couple of years ago because it involved kissing some actress, said he wouldn't do it as he didn't want his kids seeing him kissing someone other than their mother.

Same dilemma at the moment as well Handy. Dog is almost 15 years (105) and cant really get a breath at the moment. Vet reckoned that she has bad kidney infection and that if it doesnt clear after the two week antibiotic, she should be put to sleep.
Dont know if i could do that. Would break my frickin heart. Alot of good times.

Our dog had the sme sort of thing. Lots of coughing and fluid in the lungs. Turned out it was a growth in the throat that had to be cut out as it was pushing on his Larynx. It was completely invisible to all checks until they put him to sleep and checked in his throat for it.

Complete difference to what I meant...Of course animals in that sense are great and are amazing animals when trained to help such people, what I can't understand is people spending fortunes on a household pet and getting all upset when it dies..In my mind its just a animal,just buy another one

People who treat animals as if they were humans grinds my gears

Funny I have the opposite problem, particularly when a large part of the blind, deaf and dump part of society worship such people.

Complete difference to what I meant...Of course animals in that sense are great and are amazing animals when trained to help such people, what I can't understand is people spending fortunes on a household pet and getting all upset when it dies..In my mind its just a animal,just buy another one
There is a woman living next door to my parents at home and she has her little mutt on the same heart tablets as my auld lad  ::)
I'm just not a lover of animals whatsoever

When I said I had a problem with the opposite I meant humans who treat people as animals. I know that wasn't what you were getting at.

When it dies get another pup and start again..Its not exactly like losing a brother/sister/child now is it..
Pets can be replaced..
I don't mind a dog to be honest though if I had one it would stay out of the house and be treated as a dog not as a child..I do f**king hate cats though

You've got a problem with a woman doing her best to try and keep an innocent creature alive? Why?  ???
Didnt you tell me your girlfriend was a vet?!

I got my dog when he was a wee pup, brought him up, think he was about 13 or 14 when he died in my arms, broke my heart  :(
A couple of years before that he was attacked by an Alsatian we own (she died a few weeks ago) and I spent two or three hundred euro to save his life - would have given two or three grand, would have given anything actually.  - why? because he wouldn't let me down and when he died it was like losing a member of the family.  I haven't got another dog yet but he couldnt be replaced just like people can't be replaced.  If you spent any time around animals you'd know that they, like humans, have different traits and personalities. 

Animals, and dogs in particular, are great, I'd rather have them then humans!

Dont' talk to me about dentists! Took half a day off work to go to one 2 months ago because I'd a really sensitive tooth - she looked in my mouth and said I needed a filling but wouldn't do it then - had to make another apointment (and pay 20 quid) and take another half day off a week later.  It took three injections to numb my mouth and she put in a filling - and that cost 40 quid. The tooth has never improved and I'm going to have to go back!  >:(

Because you can't go around knocking off humans just because you don't like them.

Handy - while we're on the subject, it has come to my attention that some people (presumably with dyslexic tendencies) are mixing you and me up. I wouldn't want you to be mistaken as the author of some of the ludicrous nonsense I post here, so you might want to consider another quick name change. Just to avoid the sort of misunderstanding that can happen when people mix up their 'r's and 'n's - like the time the Taoiseach said he had been up in the Arus all night.

A woman who smokes when she is pregnant isn't fit to be a mother IMHO

I agree when the missus was in having the last child there was always 3 or 4 standing outside puffing away in their dressing gowns. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. One doll went missing one day and security had to scour the place for her as she was heavily pregnant with twins. She decided to head up to stand outside A&E for a fag as there were more people there and better craic!

Seen a car this morning and in the back window they'd one of those signs up in the top right hand corner "Baby on Board" and then in the top left hand corner they had a sign "Daddy Cool on Board" and below it another sign "Greatest Mum in the world on Board".

I remember seeing an episode of Hale & Pace when i was about ten, Hale and Pace were driving and made a point of going through a puddle and splashing an old man, they had a "bastard on board" sticker on the back of their car. It was funny at the time...........

Why is that sad, it's hardly annoying anyone or being offensive.  Sadder I think that someone would feel the need to ridicule a newborn and it's parents.  Are mother and father day cards sad, birthday cards for parents and kids sad?   They all have similiar sentiments, I seriously doubt the people in that car or the friends/family who bought them those stickers are the sad ones - I'd say you should look in the mirror for the saddo.  :-*

totally agree with this LL. the wife is pregnant at the min and thank god she hasnt smoked or drank alcohol from the minute we found out.

Smoking at hospitals though... i´ve seen people standing with drips in them smoking outside the front door! or even at the royal there would be about five of them smoking outside with a sound speaker saying "this is a none smoking area" as they get stuck into another cancer stick. unreal

It's sad that people are so insecure they need to advertise the fact that they are fertile.
I'm not criticising the baby, I'm sure he/she didn't put the signs up on the car.  Mother's day and father's day cards are private, not some sort of advertisement.  Imo they are about giving thanks to your parents or remembering waht they've done you etc, how is silly signs on the back of a car window anything like that?

So should parents shun their kids incase the non-fertile ones take offense.  I am sure the signs were brought by family members/friends not by the parents, it's usually the case, your anti parent stance is well documented on this board, it's really quite pathetic.  As I said you would seem much sadder that you would look at these signs and think anything, most people wouldn't bat an eyelid, says more about you kid than anyone connected to that vechile.  :-* :-*

In these cases probably not, I have always found that the signs are bought by family members or friends so they are usually put up out of courtesy to the gift buyer, ah well I just think you're sad, and not funny in the slightest.  ;)

I've told you before I don't hate kids, I just have an issue with this generation of parents (or some of them) who use their children as some sort of trophy, don't give their children enough attention or try to impose discipline and who seem to think because they have children they are above everyone else.

That is probably fair enough, we could go through an issue with all sections of modern society with this scernio - the fact is your immense Generalisations is what the issue is.  You from the outset blame parents and kids (lets not hide here, you blame young toddlers for acting as kids do because you feel uncomfortable around them) - I say again what is your gripe with the parent / kid thing?  There are many many many parents out there trying their best in a world where two parents need to work due to the cost of living etc, yet you can only berate them as you know f**k all about bringing up children and the costs and responsibilities that go with that - sure dont let facts get in the way of your bigotry.  :-*

Where to start - you constantly berate parents, prams in shops, parking spaces, parents who have the nerve to get babysitters and go for a meal - the cinema, new parents who dare to express they are a parent - whatever, you also totally think that any child who doesnt conform to your standards should be "slapped" - like wtf is that about - slap a toddler - that is abuse - it's apparent you dont like parents or kids - so cop yourself on with the high moral ground, you're a bully - end of!!

You forgot to mention parents who have to drop their kids off right at the school gate..They are b**tards

Are you serious, and please answer this - parents are bastards for leaving their kids to school - seriously that is what you think?

Handy I'm trying to explain my position and you clearly aren't interested, just interested in calling names so what's the point.
I was slapped, my parents arent/werent bullies, I can barely remember ever being left with a babysitter, if they were going to the cinema or out for a meal we'd be with them, now they practically rear their grandchildren as well  :-\

You are talking balls and you know it - so your parents would have taken you to see Saw V for example!!! Society has moved on from the dark ages, both parents are now equal, in your day the man went for a drink to wind down as it were at the weekend and the little woman minded the kids, that is a thing of the past.  If at some stage during the month both parents engage in a night out (be it meal, cinema, drinks) and granny obliges with the baby sitting duties, how is that detremental to anyone?  Also if you had kids you would know that it does everyone good, parents and kids alike to have the odd bit of space from each other.

I'm talking a balls about what exactly?  They probably wouldnt have taken us to see Saw V but they wouldnt have went on their own. I realise they are quite unusal and it's only in later years taht I've appreciated that everything they done was centred around us.

That wouldnt be my oul boy but yes society has changed and rightly so.

I've no issue about once a month, it's the ones that do it every weekend. The children are with a babysitter all week because their working (fair enough) and then they're dumped with a babysitter at the weekend again? I've friends who both work, kids left with the babysitter and they will go off on holiday on their own leaving the kids with the granny.   ???

That's mighty big of you - but you do have issues with baby on board stickers, prams in shops, parents availing of parking spaces made available to them by shopping centres, you also have issues with kids being kids and advocate quite openly "slapping" toddlers, and all this from someone who has no kids!!  By the way maybe the odd day away from the apron strings might of give you a more rounded outlook on society!

At this point all the contestants can really say is "Alright, hows it goin?" "Not too bad, what about you?" "Aye not too bad"

Then snodden bursts into fits of laughter at this!!!!!! EVERY SINGLE F**KING MORNING!!!

You know what really annoys me is the assholes who when the ask if they drink they reply "sure i'm irish" ::)

or people on social networking sites who go on about being happiest when full/drinking/wrote off etc etc etc

i enjoy a drink but think it such a sad reflection of our society when everyone feels the need to talk about drinking as something to be aspire to do or be. there should be so much more to life but alot of our youth now think their lifes should be defined by how much they drink how often they go out how big of mess they get into etc etc ???

fcuk it annoys me

am i over reacting or does anyone agree with me???

good to get it off my chest  :D :D

The "amn't I  mad" type loud Irish tourists you obviously only meet abroad who think that because of their nationality they have a god given right to be liked, despite being tossers of the highest variety. Oz and Asia are full of them. Imo our hard earned  good reputation internationally is going to suffer BIG TIME in the future as a result(if it hasn't happened already). Alot of them are bone idle to boot tarnishing our previous reputation as good workers.

Been there done that with the first. Nightmare! I'm glad there are fellow sufferers out there as every f**ker I meet tells me their children are great and all slept all night after a few weeks! This boy has bad reflux too so boking the piece out.

We've tried all the bottles over the past 4 or 5 years - infacol, dentinox, gripe water, chemists' special concoctions, onion water etc etc. Nothing worked but they've all grown out of it after 3 or 4 months.

We used to have to put the eldest to sleep with a hair dryer blasting in the room. We eventually burnt it out and i got a cd burnt with the sound of a hair dryer on a loop! Played it every night and in the car to stop the roaring. Apparently it's white noise they respond too!

ours was a hoover. the reflux was a problem as well, seems as if you a have the same problems we had with our 4. God I hate those who have the parfect kid, no problems at all, of a while sleep was for wimps and there was no GAA board to log onto to to occupy the long nights

Quite alot Puck.  If everyone in the world was a homo we'd be out of action in 100 years.

Its wrong. I dont care how you look at it or what spin is put on it about people being able to do whatever they want.  Its wrong.

What is your opinion on it?  Do you think a gay couple should be allowed to adopt?

What has the part in bold got to do with it? That makes no point what so ever.

My opinion on it is simple. Its not my cup of tea - but its no reason to hurl abuse at people who may live better lives than some of us "heterosexual" folks. Are you over run with homosexuals bothering you in your part of the world? Do you even know any?

I used to bandy opinions like yours around, until i opened my eyes and actually met a few gay people. they are the same as the rest of us. Turns out my previous opinions were just soundbytes heard from older generations, and not a rationalised though of my own.

I think gay couples should be allowed to adopt. Ive a close friend (captain of my soccer team - and head coach of the local high school) who is gay, married and has adopted a daughter the same age as my own. They give her a great life, a better one than she was facing from her heterosexual mother.

I am no fan however of the flaming queen types who flaunt their gayness at ever opportunity.

Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: SidelineKick on November 04, 2008, 03:19:50 PM
My point in bold is very relevant Puck. If it is right and acceptable, IF the entire world ended up being gay then life would end.  Its not how things are supposed to be.  I am not saying that all gay people are wankers (pardon the choice of words) but what they do is in my opinion extremely wrong.  Im in no way religious or have i been brainwashed this is my own opinion and I'm happy to share it, perhaps you will convince me otherwise but for the time-being its something i feel quite strongly about.  The cicrles that I mix with would not be suited to including gays in the friend mix. By the way we're not a gang with shaved heads and swastika tattoos i just mean in terms of drinkin, football, chasing women etc.

I do know a couple of gay people yes, they are certianly not the worst humans in the world but i still ultimately believe what they are doing is wrong.  Perhaps it is because of the "flaming queen types who flaunt their gayness at ever opportunity" as you put it that have caused me to dislike them so much.

As for the adoption issue i think it is extremely unfair to the children in question.  Mummy and mummy or daddy and daddy.  In my opinion its not a healthy environment to be rared in.  Again, i will stress, its not how things should be.

As i said Puck this is solely my opinion and perhaps you will make me look at it from a different angle.

Is that only in the case of Gay men? What about straight men flaunting their straightness?

Is it ok for Heterosexual women and Gay women to flaunt?

For me I'm happy to tolerate the latter two but the first two make me uncomfortable.

Sideline - couples no longer need to have sexual intercourse to create children. So I dont think that point stands - and in any case, there is little chance of the world being over run by gays. Especially not while you and your mates are running around ;)

Our team do all the same things, although some of us are older and married, so the chasing girls bit doesnt happen. Our captain and his partner come with us, and the craic is the same as it is on teams where Ive played, where Ive assumed everyone is straight.

The point about kids is a mixed bag - how many children come from broken homes, how many live in broken homes, how many get subjected to the endless stream of loser boyfriends that the single mum picks up, or how many deal with alcoholic parents.

Just because parents are mummy and daddy doesnt automagically make it a complete and perfect setting. Why shouldnt two people of the same sex who are solid citizens be afforded the chance to give kids a better life? It is exprememly unfair if they are taken away from a perfect heterosexual situation - but in adoption that is not the case. These kids need homes - and some great hetero and homosexual couples are good enough people to provide those homes.

I understand your thoughts on gays - but having good friends (and a cousin) who are of that persuausion - I think the good majority of them deserve a little more than to be called "Queers" by a faceless name on an annonymous board is why I mentioned it in the first place.

:D We're not gay bashers now Puck!

You make some good points about the family life and I do take them on board, and in no way do I think that mummy + daddy = happy childhood.  I wouldnt say I am narrow minded but I know in my life any of my close friends if they were to turn gay, would completely change the way they would be able to live their life.  I dont know many gay gaelic footballers.

As for the "queers" comment, i make no apology.  Yes at this moment i am a faceless name but Puck if I was to meet you in a bar I would tell you the exact same. (and hope you wouldnt try to slip one in me  ;) :D)

Missed a point:

Like the US elections at the moment, the majority of people are syaing they will vote for Obama, so as not to appear racist.  In the provacy of the polling station I belive that differs vastly. Likewise I know alot of people who say they dont mind gays etc but I know for a fact if a gay person was to start chatting to them in a bar or stop with them on the street they would feel extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed if anyone they knew was to see them.

I do believe you have genuine reasons and opinions as not not care either way, but like the elections alot of people like to stay PC in the public realm.

You dont know many gay gaelic players: I dare say none do. Due to the extremely conservative views held in Ireland - and the parochial nature of the communities which sustain the GAA, I can't see too many of the players who are gay, coming out. IMHO, it says more about my homeland than it says about homosexuals.

No gays need apply.

I wasnt suggesting you and your mates are gay bashers -  what I was suggesting is that the populous of the world is safe so long as we have such red blooded heterosexual males as your good selves running around.

I cant even agree to disagree with you on the use of the term "queers" as an derogatory umbrella for the gay community. I dont think such a word would be too quick out of the gobs of many if faced with the front row of the belfast titans - and contrary to popular belief - there is a fair chance none of them would be interested in "slipping you one" :o

As far as I can see only about 1 in every 5 have any type of reflective gear on and plenty of the eejits are dressed head to toe in black/navy/brown, but here I suppose they'll look fairly stylish when the ambulances arrive  ::)

Florescent bibs should be in every household. They should have the same priority as smoke alarms.

Pedestrians who don't feel the need to check when they are crossing a road, its actually scary how many people don't do this.  Should be allowed to knock them down (only slightly to teach them a lesson).

I paid a overdue bill yesterday and rang today to see why my broadband wasn't back on,they told me they never received the payment even though I was able tell them the conformation of payment number that I got yesterday...I yelled at some bitch who was suppose to be customer service and was practically telling me I was lying and I didn't pay the bill yesterday until finally I got thru to a girl who sorted it all out in about 5 mins.I wouldn't mind but I pay my bill direct debit but they didn't take it from my account a few months back and then without telling me cut off my broadband even though the last bill came out thru direct debit

That's nothin. Try BT if you want to cultivate an ulcer. They still regularly send me a threatening letter about a non-existent outstanding amount on an account that was closed in 2003 and each time we have the same conversation shouting match, the same undertaking to sort things out, the same promise to confirm in writing that it has been sorted, the same failure to do that and the same assurance when I call that it has been done, even though the letter was not sent out. This happens every few months.

I got no bill last month, so I called them. "Sorry, some bills are a bit late, but don't worry, we'll allow an extra few weeks ..." "You won't be calling me demanding money, threatening to cut me off?" "Absolutely not".  A week later, I got the bill. The same day I got a call wanting to know why the bill was outstanding.

The home account is in the name of her indoors. I wanted to transfer it to my name, for reasons of convenience. "Certainly - we'll send you out a form. when we get it we'll close the account and disconnect, and set up the new ..."

"Wait a minute - disconnect?". "Yes - we have to disconnect and re-connect through Eircom when the account changes hands." "How many hours will I be disconnected?". "Oh definitely not more than two weeks" !!!

That's nothin. Try BT if you want to cultivate an ulcer. They still regularly send me a threatening letter about a non-existent outstanding amount on an account that was closed in 2003 and each time we have the same conversation shouting match, the same undertaking to sort things out, the same promise to confirm in writing that it has been sorted, the same failure to do that and the same assurance when I call that it has been done, even though the letter was not sent out. This happens every few months.

I got no bill last month, so I called them. "Sorry, some bills are a bit late, but don't worry, we'll allow an extra few weeks ..." "You won't be calling me demanding money, threatening to cut me off?" "Absolutely not".  A week later, I got the bill. The same day I got a call wanting to know why the bill was outstanding.

The home account is in the name of her indoors. I wanted to transfer it to my name, for reasons of convenience. "Certainly - we'll send you out a form. when we get it we'll close the account and disconnect, and set up the new ..."

"Wait a minute - disconnect?". "Yes - we have to disconnect and re-connect through Eircom when the account changes hands." "How many hours will I be disconnected?". "Oh definitely not more than two weeks" !!!

Don't f**king talk to me about BT! Useless shower of c***ts!
I was with them for 7 or 8 years and I went to use the phone one day and it wasn't working.  Called them up and it took me a hour to get someone to talk to me because I hadn't an account number and I couldnt remember what I said the name of my first pet was.  Obviously there must be an awful lot of fraud around people paying stranger's phonebills.  Anyway, I was told they sent me something like 3 bills and I was disconnected because I hadn't paid it.  I explained I didn't receive ANYTHING from them.  They went over the billing address about three times with me, everything was correct, we couldnt work this out  but paid the bill on the credit card there and then and that was fine. THey said they'd send me a receipt in the post - never got it.
A month later I went to use the phone again, not working again, called them up, I'd been cut off again! Spent a hour again trying to get someone to talk to me as I had no account number.  Eventually did and same story again I hadn't paid my bill, I said I HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING ANY BILLS.  I demanded to know at this stage why I haven't been getting anything from them, they couldnt understand it, went through the billing address, address for the phone (both the same) everything correct. Paid the bill again on the credit card.  I asked for my account number to save any hassel again and I was told they'd post it out to me.  Of course that never came either. 
This went on for several months (I was paying monthly, not quarterly) and I was ringing up when I thought the bill would be due to pay it on the credit card - never got any of these, went over the addresses countless times with just about everyone in BT.

After about 6 months of this bullshit the phone was ringing one saturday morning at about 9 o'clock - BT.  The fella from BT had someone on the other line who was sitting with a collection of my BT mail - they'd been sending it to the wrong address. Well I nearly lost the head, told him how many f**king times I'd been through the billing/correspondence address - it's the same as the address for the phone ffs, it's been the same for the last 8 years and sure all he could say was "aaww, hmmm, aaw i don't know Mr Guinness".  So that was that.

I then moved and well it took I dont know how many rows on the phone to get the useless c***ts to get me connected.

Brides who take part in the wedding speeches.   Let's face it no-one really wants to hear any speech other than the best man's to see if it's any good, but suffer the usual hour of speeches on the big day.  Therefore inconsiderate, wind-bag brides who are so full of themselves that they think people are interested in them adding to the show should be shot.   Invariably they have had a couple of glasses of wine at this point and don't know whento shut up either.   I really pity any fella who ends up marrying such a bird as it's obvious they are in for a life of hell from a nagging bint. 

TOP-TIP to future brides.  DO NOT take the mic at your wedding or you will lose all credibility in the eyes of your male guests.

Toasters that don't have slots that are big enough to fit the bread in longways! 

I think I'm right in saying that these days most bread isn't square-shaped, and that bread with the arch-shaped crust is more common (see Pat The Baker, Brennan's, etc.).

As far as I can see you've 2 choices when you try to use one of these toasters:

1.  Have yourself a slice of 3/4 toast and 1/4 warm bread - yuck!

2.  Try to time it so that you flip the bread half way through the toasting cycle - this isn't easy as the more you use the toaster in one run, the quicker it seems to get.  Can anyone confirm if toasters do this or if I'm imagining this?

How hard would it be for someone to make a toaster that actually fits most bread.

.. and relax ...

:D That is a real torture! Though it does mean that the lorry overtaking will reach his destination 10, maybe 20, seconds quicker than he would have if he hada stayed behind the other lorry.

Thats some d**k with a chip on their shoulder.  I would have lost it.

Similar situation with me about 1 year ago. Driving along narrow road and came on a lorry which had stopped and its load was being taken off and the lorry driver standing directing this. He looked around once at me then turned away. B@@@@@d obviously decided that I was gonna have to sit there until his load ws taken off completely. I felt so useless and angry that after 5 minutes he had totally ignored me. Then , what had I sitting on my back seat was a fully charged DIGITAL CAMERA!!!!! I could have kissed it.  Got it out, switched it on and got out and lined up my shots. Man looked round saw me and attitude changed totally. He actually started to talk to me. "TOO LATE, MATE" arsa mise. " I AM SENDING THESE PHOTOS TO SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY" and turned the car and went the other way.

Still have the fotos of the man with the startled look. Show it to manys a one. Hope you re reading this you ignorant F@@@head

I think there is a perfectly acceptable explanation for this, however not being a tea bagger I am open to correction.

Dont people put them in the sink because they are dripping and dont want to take them across the floor to the bin? Unless you have an open top bin, or a flip top one, its hard to take the bag out of the cup of steamin hot tea, and open the bin and put the bag in without gettin tea all over yourself.

Fling her in the sink and promise yourself you'll come back to it. Far Handier.

Well that only works if you are drinking half a cup of tea, otherwise you are just squeezing it into fresh tea and thus wetting the tea bag again. Not only that, but your method must be the most environmentally unfriendly one ever. Wasting kitchen roll?

Back to the tetley!.
Maybe should have been bit more concise.
What ground the gears this morning was used teabags into sink of dishes ready to be washed. 
Now surely every kitchen has a bin and selection of spoons. Its really not that hard a task to transport the teabag from the cup to the bin!!.
They do it in work and they do it at home and it has to stop!!

Anyways, as I was going out the door she was giving me the look that just says - Dont even think about it buddy, Im way too cool for you.

Dog shite. On your shoe. Trying to wipe it off when here's nothing around only tarmac and people cross the road as you paw the ground like a bull and go "fuckin f**k f**k b**tard fuckin f**k". You finally get enough scraped off all the flat parts to be able to get into the car without painting dog shite all over the floor of it, but all the little creases and crevices are now packed with compacted dog shite. You get home and take off the shoe and leave it outside the back door and go in and put on an odd shoe. Then you find that the toothbrush you used the last time this happened, that you hoped would still be in the garage, is gone (of course - you hardly kept it after that) and you're not about to write off the only toothbrush you have now because it's an electric one - stupid f***in electric toothbrush - who needs a f'n electric toothbrush anyway? So you settle for cotton buds. You pour Domestos over the sole of the shoe and start poking shite out of the grooves with the cotton bud. Then the plastic stem of it gives and now you have shite on your finger. F**k, fuckin b**tard f**k. So you try a new strategy and set the hose to the jet setting and hose down your finger and then you turn it on the upside-down shoe, only to get a faceful of backsplash. Fuckin hoorin f**k. So you kick the shoe into the bushes and throw the hose over the hedge and head back into the house to get a shower and dump your clothes in the wash, because you don't know now which bits of them have specs of liquefied dogshite on them and her indoors says "why are you wearing odd shoes and cursing in the garden?"

And all because some miserable hoor lets his dog shite anywhere it feels like it. My only consolation is planning to find him (can they do DNA analysis on dogshite?), kick his arse down the road to the pile of dogshite that has my footprint in it and rub his nose in it.

As a dog owner - sorry Hardy.

Ive learned a couple lessons for dealing with dog shite on the shoes.

1. Dont wear anything with any kind of grip/grooves. It gets right in there.
2. When attempting to remove Dog shit from the grooves with cotton bud/matchstick - always scrape away from yourself.
3. I cannot highlight point number 2 enough.

People out walking in the dark who think its safe because they have a reflective vest on.  I meet about 3 or 4 groups of walkers on the way home from work every evening.  Its still very dangerous especially when you meet a car and these tools are walking on a narrow back road!!

Not at all Gab, I'd rather they didn't treat it as some sort of Invincable Vest.  Its very hard to judge how close they are when there is oncoming traffic.  Narrow country roads aren't the place for walking when its pitch black!

No, being from the Midlands, I have a bit of experience in this Ice lark, but it's still a bollox. I came out of the house this morning, and a girl driving a 96 Fiesta was going nice and handy around the green. She game to the turn and 'whizzzz'. She ran into the pavement 3 feet from the next door neighbours 08 Lexus sitting in her driveway. The poor girl wet herself I'd say.

Black Ice - Bastard.

Fair point Pints but surely they should be coming over to me and not the other way round?  The staff were standing behind the counter chatting. Bad customer service IMO

Nothing worse than poor customer service - maybe Im getting grumpy but Ive started letting managers know why Im voting with my feet and leaving somewhere (i.e. a pub that has girls busy checking their phones behind the counter instead of serving a drink) or businesses that have started to rest on their laurels and are providing crap service.

I heard its because they are very cold from the attic and when you plug them in they blow. It's apparently meant to help if you leave them at room temperature for a while .

By Christmas tree sits decorated in the spare room. Every year, after much nagging from the nephew, it's lifted in to the sitting room and plugged in, then in January it's unplugged and put back in the spare room.

I hate pricks with no manners. The bitch I was behind in the queue for a sandwich today was a real ignorant ****.  She asked for about 4 separate tubs of stuff in 4 different goes and each time she never once said please or thank you.  The last tub of potato salad she took off the girl behind the counter she was shouting for her son in a real annoying (fake) posh accent and didnt even look at the girl just snapped it off her.

As I was on my way to pay for my stuff Miss Cuntface was standing browsing the food with her trolley taking up the middle of the isle.  I push it away out of my road and don't think she was very pleased.  Immature? Yes. Satisfying? Most definitely.  Im very glad she didnt say anything because I would have lit on her. I hate rude people.

Ah she's one of them fcukers who are worried about door marks on their previous SUV's, beamers, etc. Well if they weren't so fuckin big then people would have more room to open the fcukin door. Anyways, should have parked behind the hoor and boxed her in...

I hate pricks with no manners. The bitch I was behind in the queue for a sandwich today was a real ignorant ****.  She asked for about 4 separate tubs of stuff in 4 different goes and each time she never once said please or thank you.  The last tub of potato salad she took off the girl behind the counter she was shouting for her son in a real annoying (fake) posh accent and didnt even look at the girl just snapped it off her.

As I was on my way to pay for my stuff Miss Cuntface was standing browsing the food with her trolley taking up the middle of the isle.  I push it away out of my road and don't think she was very pleased.  Immature? Yes. Satisfying? Most definitely.  Im very glad she didnt say anything because I would have lit on her. I hate rude people.

Normally I'd slap you about for being rude to women, but she had it coming.


A few years ago in Belfast I was getting into a taxi over the Christmas period and some bitch pushed me out of the way got in.

If you supported your local corner shop - you wouldnt have to deal with that. Instead you are looking to make a quick savings at the expense of the producer, the distributor and the vendor.

I was going out with a girl a few years ago..We were together about 7 months..
She rang me one night in the middle of a Liverpool match,I told her the mistake she had just made and she got a bit angry saying I thought more of Liverpool than I did of her and it was only a effin game...
I hung up the phone on her and never rang her back.
It was the last I ever heard from her

Those stupid wankers piss me off too. They were trying to highlight an important issue but you don't garner any support or sympathy by f**king off people with publicity stunts like that. Silly shits probably think they've done something amazing, when in fact they've done their cause more harm than good.

The roads were nuts this morning. The wee lads bus driver said he hasn't seen them as bad in years. The roads looked grand but everyone was driving slowly past our house.

The wee f**kers made their way to the local peeler station and reported the man. Peelers arrive at his door an hour after the incident and lift him. He spends the night in the cells. He is charged with GBH and is looking at 2 years (2nd offence. Involved in a street fight 15 years ago). Two wee w**kers get off scot free.

Reminds me of a wee pub I used to go to in Galway good few years back that had only the old style drain in the floor for the Gents and was instructed by a health inspector to install urinals.  So a few months later he came back to check and the urinals had been duly installed - but not plumbed, just straight through the urinal and free flow down to the old drain. :)

I got bored reading my book, bored watching the tv, bored playing the ps.  I'm not normally the type of person that complains about being bored.  Two weeks off work, one week gone and I'm bored! I'm really disappointed actually.

I said about this one time before in this thread a hile back, I ran into Tescos one day to get some stuff for my lunch, think I had a milkshake drink, baps and some of those spicy sausages they have, three items, the woman in front of me had about eighteen, I counted as she put them up, if I was the check out assistant I would refuse point blank and tell them to go to the other checkouts.

QuoteLocal council workers in the North take an average of three weeks off sick, according to official figures out today.


The high sickness level is costing the taxpayer around £16m-a-year.

The highest average rates were recorded by workers in Larne, who take 20 sick days each year, compared to just eight in Magherafelt, Co Derry.

The reasons for sickness were not acute illnesses such like cancer or heart problems, but stress, depression and fatigue.

The main union involved has admitted that the levels appear staggering, but says many council workers operate outdoors in all weathers.

The Chief Local Government Auditor is calling on councils with high rates to re-examine their management practices.

Didn't know whether to put this here or the 'WTF' thread, but either way this makes my blood boil!!!

They are effectively taking a four day week when annual leave is considered!!!

I have been told that he cant ask you to get off, he is supposed to give you some sort of ticket to allow you as a good citizen to go and pay for it.

To be fair it would be common sense to carry change if you are getting the bus, experience has taught me that the drivers can be ignorant yaps who take hissey fits if you produce anything bigger than a fiver...

Anyway,

I have a huge gripe of late with people who having tried the door of the bathroom to find it locked then proceed to enquire who it is occupied by (even worse when they ask what you're doing). When I am on the throne I require and would expect a certain degree of solitude, a man is at his most vulnerable with his trunks around his ankles and I feel it rude to be intruded upon or interrupted at such a time. When the handle turns there is for a split second a feeling of panic, and instinctive mistrust of the lock overcomes the user. I mean the fact the door is locked means that the person can't get in, but what does it matter to them who is actually on the other side? What exactly do they expect to gain by identifying the user of the lavatory and their actions inside? Why can't they just assume the occupier wants some peace and leave it at that without an interrogation. This has happened me twice in the last week or so.

Is it a big problem?
I've one in the wallet since I came back from Christmas holidays and I can't get f**king rid of it! I just get dumb looks "sorry we can't take that"
"why not"
"it's irish"
"it's sterling"
"we can't take irish money"
"but it's sterling"
"we can't take..."
"oh f**king forget it! give us back our country!"

It just depends on whether you get an intelligent person at a checkout or not, so far I havent!
Couldnt believe the self service checkout wont take it though, how does it know?!!!
How hard is it though? They'll take bank of scotland notes! 


Know an Irish boy who was over though with bank of ireland notes and they refused to take it of him in some shop so he just picked up his things and went to walk out the door with them running after him "excuse me, you've to pay for that" to which he replied "I was paying for it and you wouldnt take it" - they took it then! Dont think I'll have the balls to do that.

Maximum height allowed for ramp is 100mm. Quite a few councils in England have had legal challenges about their ramps being too high and had to lower them.

No minimum ride height for road cars. Racing cars are different due to lowering centre of gravity, ground effect aerodynamics ect..... Regulations are there to stop cars from be dangerously low and bottoming out.  Might as well forget about that 200 grand supercar, you'll never get it into your development.

Oh I might get my ruler out then.  My car is incredibly low but those are the only ramps I have problems with if I go at them slowly.

There is more to that than meets the eye.

The DAA decided to stop paying some allowance to the lads who are not allowed to go on strike as they are Gárdaí. So all of a sudden it takes up to 3 hours to get through immigration = consumer suffers. I suspect the lads aren't doing overtime as well = consumer suffers. The management who introduced this brilliant idea say there is nothing wrong whatsoever so there are no discussions taking place = consumer suffers.

Ykwrgmg? Management who just decide unilaterally to make cuts and then ignore any repercussions while increasing their own bonuses.

I don't think it's a go slow, I think it's a work to rule. In other words they are inspecting every single passport. Normally with an Irish passport they just wave you on in, in Shannon they don't even bother looking at the photo page when they see the harp on it. This work to rule means they're inspecting them, or at least pretending to, so that everyone is slowed down.

Silly cooking instructions on things. 
I'm making this chicken thing that consists of two chicken breats, it says on the packet to have it in the oven for 25 minutes and the oven at 190.  I've had it in the oven for the last 40 minutes at 250 and it's not near done.  So how the f**k would it be done at 190 in 25 minutes?


Being woke at quarter to 7 this morning by the c***ts deliverying stuff next door, and the **** who pulled up had the radio going on the van and I could hear it clearly in my bed!! I will f**king go out and attack them some morning!

Ya wanna know what really grinds my gears is when those idiots in the parking garages turn way into you when you are trying to turn either going up or down around a corner and they take up all the damn room and no where to go . Plus those ar se holes whom take up the space when they are driving behind you when you try to back up. I also hate the wan kers that walk behind you when you are trying to back out your space. One day I'll just keep backing  up and hit the edjit and make them regret ever walking behind a moving car.

This has probably been covered somewhere in the few hundred pages but people at matches getting up and down throughout the matches. I nearly blew a fuse last Saturday night in the lower Cusack at the start of the second half with people coming and going, totally ridiculous. Still at it about 15 minutes into the second half, and not just one or two. I wish they'd shut the bars/shops at half time.

When you get on to a bus with a £20 note and the driver says he cant take you as he's no change...Not my problem...get some....

I have been told that he cant ask you to get off, he is supposed to give you some sort of ticket to allow you as a good citizen to go and pay for it.

Just recieved a 1 day freedom of NI ticket because i complained about this.. Not bad for a £1.50 fare...

Well I went to get my monthly ticket for the park and ride the other day and of course the bus driver had no change but he said he'd give me a voucher and all I had to do was ask the next bus driver to give me the change I was due - 7 quid.  I said fair enough.

Now! I've tried every morning and evening for the last 3 days to get my 7 quid of the bus driver only to be met with "I haven't got the change"!!!  >:(  >:(  >:(
So now! not only have I a Bank of Ireland ten pound note I can't get rid of but also a  £7 VOUCHER FOR THE BUS  >:(

Ya know what really grinds my gears is my mother-in-law that lives with my wife and I. My wife's name and myself are on the lease. The mother-in-law is not. She bosses like she is the head of the house, I swear to god I want to choke her sometimes. Of course if I talk back in defense I get shite from my wife since I talked to her mother in a manner she did not like. What the feck am I supposed to do she cannot move out and afford a place. She has a heart condition so maybe I could scare her into a attack and she'll run away.

Dont know how any one lives with their inlaws.
My mother in law stayed with us all last week and although shes sound (and she cooked dinners all week) and we get on well it was nice to get the place back! I couldnt live with an inlaw long term, especially not if she was a bitch.

I gave my little one a double barelled name.

You really shouldnt have done that, believe me.

Whys that?


Wait a minute you gave your daughter a double barrelled first name.....Thats different..

I was talking about surnames,especially women who choose to use a double barrelled surname after they get married...  ::)

Poor scripting poor acting.  The story line just seems to be all over the place and I got fed up after about 45 mins.  Any report I have heard has been bad but I'm one of these people that have to see it for myself because its all opinion after all. However, saying its shit its as close as opinion can come to being fact!

However you could always check for yourself and/or ask for opinions on "Movie Recommendation" thread.

Just found it boring.  A couple of "jumpy" moments but that was it.

Do they not realise that the chances are that when you get to the till that you may be asked for money to pay for the goods or am I being a little harsh ??? ??? ???

My family Although Irish/American go to mass and go to lunch and parade and then private family parties with a stop at a pub or two here in the states.

Pete keeps gloating that he's winning and playing a crap cheering sound effect EVERY morning.  The worst thing about it is...he f**king reset the scores about 3 weeks ago when he was getting beat by about 11 points!!!!! WWWWAAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to get up, go down to the shops and browse the xbox games at my leisure, get one of my choice, maybe get a hot dog on the way back and play the xbox the rest of the day.  If I want a pint later on, then I'll go and get one.

Waking up thinking can't wait to get to the pub to do the following.... watch football, drink loads, back a few horsies and the realising its "Good $%^&£$% Friday" (the most drepressing/boring day of the year).
Have you nothing in your life only that?

I'm going to get up, go down to the shops and browse the xbox games at my leisure, get one of my choice, maybe get a hot dog on the way back and play the xbox the rest of the day.  If I want a pint later on, then I'll go and get one.


I hope you mean the Quorn alternative, its Good Friday man i.e No meat. A fish dog would be acceptable
nope, I dont buy in to that shite.  (Dont tell my mammy). 

Yes sideline! the ps would be an alternative.

I flew home last good friday and there was a crowd of English ones on the plane going for a stag weekend to Dublin! Weren't they in for a shock when they landed!

I was queuing at a checkout in my local supermarket this morning.
The queues there were fairly long alright but were moving steadily.
Mine was moving along grand as well until the female in front of me reached the checkout.
She had a very large trolley load and I had resigned myself to the fact that she would take 6 or 7 minutes before I got my fairly modest amount checked out and could get away.
Little did I know what lay in store..
This individual stood to one side as the girl on the till checked her items through; she didn't lift a finger to help, other than manoeuvring her trolley into position. The poor girl soon had the space on the counter to her left piled high with yer wan's goods and finally had to resort into leaning over and dropping them into the waiting trolley as the person in question stood gazing out the window.
Finally, when the girl had finished checking and rung up the total, she took out her purse nice and slow, extracted her laser card and presented it to the operator.
Then she took her time keying in her pin and signing the slip. She paid absolutely no attention to the queue that had built up behind her but what happened next really took the biscuit.
When she had paid for her goods, she reached into a shopping bag she carried and extracted 5 or 6 plastic bags and then slowly and very carefully, she proceeded to pack her goods.   
She made no move whatsoever to get out of the way and did her business there and then, completely holding up the queue behind her until she was good and ready.
I'd have blown a fuse but the young operator was very rattled by the old bags' attitude and behaviour and I didn't want to upset her further.
It took a full quarter hour to get her through!

Yeah or even people who press the button.  Wait two seconds and then press it again.  If in two further seconds the wee man isn't green, the rapidly press the button.  It doesn't make it go any faster.  Please don't do it people

does the actual pressing of the button change the lights? Maybe on quieter roads but I've always had my suspicions about busy roads. Anyone know what way they're set?

At a junction I think it doesn't matter if you press the button or not, the green man will appear when its convenient with regards the traffic.

However on a crossing on just a straight road, the button does matter. You have to let the lights know your waiting so to speak.

Bugs me, but doesn't annoy me. What annoys me is, if they make a mess of it. I've seen able-bodied men leave disabled toilets, after shitting and pissing on the seat. f**king enrages me!  >:(

Aye there's no call for pissing on the seat, but with regards the messy bowls, I personally wouldn't take a dump in a public place unless I was really desperate.  And at the end of the day, a desperate shit is never a pretty shit.

Its probably stress that gives them to me.........

Pricks yapping at teammates in training for giving a bad pass

Stop giving bad passes then.

Take it your one of the pricks who yap at their teammates then

I don't yap at teammates - makes you look like a dick

:D no I'm not.

I have a very good discipline with my team mates. I would never shout at anybody for dropping a ball or giving a bad pass.  What I will shout at is sheer greed and lack of trying!

thats a hanging offence in our house.

Hedges that are overgrown and block half the pavement, and to make it worse they park their cars to close to the hedges leaving room for single file only, people with prams have to walk on the road to get past, cut your hedge you lazy gits

I think it's the lack of consideration a majority of pram pushers have for non pram pushers that's the problem.

I think that should be the other way around (or maybe that was a typing error) how the f**k should people pushing kids around in a pram be giving more consideration to non pram pushers. Well & able people should step aside and show a bit of respect to parents with prams...Maybe if you had a few crawling around you you'd understand

That's probably a fair point, some people can be pretty inconsiderate, as can some people in wheelchairs, especially electric ones - which I'm sure weigh a tonne, it was the gerneralisation that it was all individuals trying to transport their child about in a pram that I was questioning.

No i should not leave for work any earlier fgs im lucky i get out of bed when i do. Besides there is a speed limit of 40 mph for most of the road into work and i couldnt get over 20 , thats as bloody bad as speeding.

Ach now Tyrone girl calm the jets. Sure if you are only doing 20 that would give you ample time to get out the lippy and the trowel.

No jimbo theres driving carefully and theres driving feckin insanely slow!!!! Driving carefully is observing the speed limits and sticking to them and trying to ensure ur driving isnt gona cause an accident! Driving at 20 mph through 40mph zones is downright dangerous and ridiculous especially with the volume of traffic at that time of the morning

Ziggy seems to have claimed her.

I've tendered my application and waiting to see if I got through to the interview process.

ziggy - if you take that approach in life then you will get nowhere. What you want to do is take the bull by the horns or the cow by the tits. A bit of giddy up and let her at it.

Took that approach once and got a slap across the face for my troubles.
do tyrone blades not take well to a bit of authority then?

Fair enough lads there were a few threads that got out of hand and I'm as guilty as the next wan but you can't blame 2 or 3 threads for the state the board is in. There are less and less using the board now whether it's due to not working or sites banned in work, and then out of boredom some people start threads because they can't think off anything else better to do...

As for the she-males on the board i know for a fact they exist but i still don't know who they are nor do i care.

No more access to Gaa Board at work..............

Quit!

It happened a couple of times before and i contacted the IT department and spoke nicely to them but they have given the hammer to a pile of sites in the last few weeks but if you have a "business need" to see a site to contact them, who the f**k has a "business need" to be on the interweb? In fairness when i have checked it in the evenings at home i havent been missing much

In fairness to the business it's more bandwith, social networking sites and the like can grind a network to a standstill!
Rubbish.

Sorry must be talking shite, photos, images, streaming videos etc have no detrimental effect on a network - Suretheydont!!!

If we're talking irritating comedians Micheal McIntyre really gets my goat. Irritating voice, not funny and spends his whole time on these panel shows trying to talk over everyone.

Watching that James May thing that was on Sunday night, with a cup of tea and a slice of toast. Elbow is playing up, since I twisted it two months ago. Thought I was over it and signed up to the gym and went for an induction course on Friday. Been getting steadily worst since then.

Portacabins = disaster; Freezing in winter, melting in summer but I guess it's better than the rat infested prefabs we had up to last summer

I was at the Clonard Novena last night standing at the back waiting for mass to begin when 4 what i can only describe as"mucksavages" arrived to mass, straight from the Camogie pitch, sitcks, bags, still in their gear, legs covered in Bruises, and Clay. I said to myself f**k me, would yous ever go home and take a shower and put some clothes on yous other than O Neills gear,
Imagine arrriving to mass like that

Ok have another story that i wanta tell but dunno if this is the right thread but suppose its a gear grinder anyway.

A fella from NIDY (northern ireladn deaf youth) came into work yday look donations, he showed his badge spoke very little and when he did he spoke funny (may not be PC but bear with me) so naturally i assume himself to be deaf. I wrote the cheque from our company got it signed by the boss and gave it to the man and he said thank you and left.
Then one of the women in the office said to me 'that fellas not deaf u no?' I was bit confussed then the boss came and said 'u no hes not deaf?'
They then told me a story that when one of the girls in the office was working in another nearby company the same man would come in and do the same looking money for the charity they always gave as most companies would do. However the weekend after one of the girls seen the same man on a boat to Scotland with a group of Rangers fans he was chanting away with them, she talked to him and he was speaking normally.
A bit confused, when she went back tot he office she told all the ones in the office so the woman that now works with me rang NIDY and enquired if the fella was in fact deaf. They told that he had no hearing or speech problems and have heard of a number of occassion that he makes out that he has such impairments. NIDY went on to say please dont let his antics stop you from dontating to the charity. The next time he went into that company they tackled him about it and sure enough he admitted and said it was easier to get donations that way, he never put on his 'act' whenever he went back to that company but he is doing it here not realising that one of the girls is now working here. what a con artist. Heard he was one of the top collectors for the charity but just doesnt seem rite.

I wrote the cheque from our company got it signed by the boss and gave it to the man and he said thank you and left.
Then one of the women in the office said to me 'that fellas not deaf u no?' I was bit confussed then the boss came and said 'u no hes not deaf?'
They then told me a story that when one of the girls in the office was working in another nearby company the same man would come in and do the same looking money for the charity they always gave as most companies would do. However the weekend after one of the girls seen the same man on a boat to Scotland with a group of Rangers fans he was chanting away with them, she talked to him and he was speaking normally.
A bit confused, when she went back tot he office she told all the ones in the office so the woman that now works with me rang NIDY and enquired if the fella was in fact deaf. They told that he had no hearing or speech problems and have heard of a number of occassion that he makes out that he has such impairments. NIDY went on to say please dont let his antics stop you from dontating to the charity. The next time he went into that company they tackled him about it and sure enough he admitted and said it was easier to get donations that way, he never put on his 'act' whenever he went back to that company but he is doing it here not realising that one of the girls is now working here. what a con artist. Heard he was one of the top collectors for the charity but just doesnt seem rite.

So this charity are happy enough to give out an employee's medical details (or lack thereof) over the phone?
Well he's always going to have medical details but yeah I'd say longball is taking the piss.
Who'd ring up a company and ask if someone there was deaf and what company would tell them!  What charity would allow someone to continue to collect money knowing they were lying to people?

It's very funny though.

Im not taking the piss this happened yday. I dunno why the chairty have continued letting him collect prob because as i focking said he is one of their top collectors. Yes the woman that works with me now did ring up and ask, they hated the thought of being deceived and thought that the charity should know what he was doing, he has already been reported by a number of different companies so the chairty were prob just used to people ringing by now. Why would i make this up?

I know your sentence is missing a question mark.

I think you'll find there are 3 (three) question marks in my sentence.

You didn't answer my original question, is there something wrong with his sentence?

I never questioned any individual sentence.  As for Ziggy's effort with the comma - delete that post, you are embarrassing yourself kid!!!  :-*

You highlighted a specific part of his sentence and said "I hope your maths is better than your english", his english is fine.

I agree with the Ziggy post though, quite embarrassing.

If you read back you would see that line was highlighted when i said - I find it hard to believe you are trusted with the cheque book in your company! - and wasn't in relation to the English comment, you take a redner at any time; especially the his english is fine comment.  :D

cycle lanes are a joke, have you ever used one ? They generally last for about 50 yards and then you have to go back on the road anyway. Selfish motorists grind my gears. The humble bicycle was there before they were and will be there long after they are gone.

Well you said you can ride your bike on the road, because as a car user you help pay for the roads? Does that mean you can do anything on the roads, since you help for them? Oh I don't know, marching for example ;)

No i doesnt mean you can do anything on the roads, but what harm is a bike ffs. All i takes is a wee bit of patience on behalf of the motorist to go round them or whatever. Taxation is related to road damage and emissions, a bike does neither.

Dont talk shite now. Bike lanes are generally a pain in the ass for cyclists. Up and down kerbs, strewn with glass etc. Its only numb nuts drivers that have a problem with cyclists

Why is it best that they use footpaths ? A cyclist has every right to be on the road, and chances are they are more responsible road users than the twats that think they shouldnt be there.

I did a bit of research there man in black and indeed you are correct.

Section 72 of the Highway Act 1835, amended by Section 85(1) of the Local Government Act 1888 states you could fined £30 if caught cycling on the footpath.

However, it is against the law to cycle in a busy intersection.

Many apologises man in black.  :-*

And was this path continious where a cyclist wouldnt have to dismount or slow down for  say 3 or 4 miles ? Na didnt think so.

What is so urgent in your life that you cannot slow down for a few seconds to get past a cyclist. What are your objections to cyclists on the road exactly ? And for jesus sake dont say road tax as that puts you straight in idiot category

Na, am too old for nightclubs

And therefore should be old enough to know that cyclists deserve a break as well.


Who are you tell tell me what I should & shouldnt know?
Poor cyclists ::)  :D

Well i made the assumption you had a brain. Sorry


Yeah,
If I dont agree with you or dont think that cyclists should be 'given' a break, I therefore do not have a brain ::)
If there is a cyclist path, the cyclists should be on it.....................no on the road

have you ever ridden a bike on a cycle path ?

Yeah



And was this path continious where a cyclist wouldnt have to dismount or slow down for  say 3 or 4 miles ? Na didnt think so.

What is so urgent in your life that you cannot slow down for a few seconds to get past a cyclist. What are your objections to cyclists on the road exactly ? And for jesus sake dont say road tax as that puts you straight in idiot category

What is so urgent in your life that you cant walk somewhere instead of cycling?

Walking 15 miles to work isnt that practical, and if i was in a real rush id be a petrol head like you and Ziggy

I did a bit of research there man in black and indeed you are correct.

Section 72 of the Highway Act 1835, amended by Section 85(1) of the Local Government Act 1888 states you could fined £30 if caught cycling on the footpath.

However, it is against the law to cycle in a busy intersection.

Many apologises man in black.  :-*

Define busy intersection - me thinks you are talking poo poo ziggy

A crossroads with three or more lanes in each direction possiblity. I don't know.

A man who orders a bottle of Corona with a slice of lime at the bar without looking embarrassed. My friends tell me that this is a rather harsh attitude. My response is always the same. "You are a disgrace to humanity"

Scobes that go to beatiful parks to get full & then leave all their empties lying there  >:(

f**kers who overtake on the inside lane

f**kers who sit in the over taking lane at 60mph and cause you to undertake!!

Still doesn't make it right but I can sympathise with that if you've waitied long enough behind them in the hope they'll use their mirror and pull in. If not then I would do the same thing.

BUT

What about sitting at 70 in a line of traffic on the outside lane when there is a car ahead doing 55/60 on the inside up ahead? Most people keep a safe distance, so those w4nkers overtake the long line flying up the inside an then nip out at the end causing everyone else who were cruising at 70 to brake (domino effect all along the line).  

Does that grind your gears?

Would love to know the stats on how many accidents on motorways/dual carriageways are caused by this action?

I don't think it's the lime that upsets me. The drink itself is offensive to any beer drinker of sound mind. Add in the lime and drink the bottle with your little finger wiggling in the air and you should never be allowed in a public house again.

But pretty much everyone is in the wrong then.

I believe the rule is that you should be in the inside lane unless you are overtaking. You don't go into the outside line because you'll be overtaking someone in a couple of minutes. Of course because everyone else is doing it wrong, you have to get into the outside line too early otherwise you could be stuck behind the 55er on the inside for ages.

Another gear grinder is someone spoiling a movie on you by telling you the twist or a tv episode you haven't seen yet by telling you what happened. About 15 years ago, some tool in the pub told me Kevin Spacey was Kaizer Sose before I'd seen the movie. Jesus wept, how callous. Another guy ruined the last series of the Sopranos for me by giving away a major plotline. Shocking behaviour.

Drivers in cars who brake 20m before the road they are about to turn into, and then you see the indicator going as they turn in. 

People who park their cars in the inside lane of a dual carriageway just because they have a business/property there - e.g all main roads into Belfast from Carryduff, Newtownards.  Indicator bulbs shall soon be fused having to weave in and out of the lanes.

Drivers who drive at 30-45mph and then complain about someone over-taking at 55mph, "Look at that maniac".  If you sped up a bit people wouldn't have to over-take.

The flies that land on you, you think there harmless until you feel the slight sting, then 2 days later you find a lump on your arm which is still there a week later. 

Pokerstars.

Woman/girlfriends who are never wrong no matter what the argument.  I find myself in an argument which they start and somehow I get the blame for it and end up apologising.

Done!

Ignorant drivers  >:(

I was driving my other half's car home from training because my own was getting a badly needed service. She is only on a provisional license so she has the L-plates up. I was pulling into Tescos to buy a bottle of water and pick up something for the dinner. I was first in the queue stopped at the traffic lights turning into the car park. I was maybe a millisecond slow in pulling away from the lights so the pr1ck behind me in his 5 series BMW started blaring his horn. When I got into the car park I decided to ask this clown what the fcuk was his problem. I got out of the car and he was still driving around looking for a parking space. The second he saw me approaching him he drove off out of the car park and back down the road. f**king coward!

..........I think I might have road rage!

Since MJs death and the threads that followed everyone is been very PC plus there doesnt seem to be any interesting topics being discussed. In fact there doesnt seem to be that many people posting at all. What does everyone else think?
BTW i just used this thread instead of searching for another the board is dying a death thread!

Really though there aren't that many threads that are interesting discussion. Like the MJ ones got slightly out of hand but they were interesting for everyone to read. I think some people have got bored of the silly things that are talked about ie Derry thread...them boys are a laugh but what the hell is the discussion about!!?

Fat girls who think orderin a diet coke instead of normal coke is gonna make a difference
People who go out 'for a while' instead of the whole night
People who get all dolled up for a Monday Morning 9 o clock lecture
People who look at themselves when walking past a big reflective glass window and try not to get caught.
Boys who play the friend card
Someone who sits in the corner in a nightclub and watches everyone get drunk and then tells stories
The irritating Newtonabbey 'ummm yeaaaaaaaaaa' accent
When you go for a piss an there's a spice boy standn fixin his hair at the sink

I meant boys who act like a girls friend and come out with things like

"So tell me the scandal from last night"
"What do you think I should wear out tonight"
"Do you want help with that assignment"
"Aw im sorry you failed your exams do you want a hug"

essentially all these phrases equate to "Im desperate for the ride and don't know how to chat a girl up so im gonna act like your friend and pounce on you when we get real close"

I have a mate who rings you up and then after a couple of minutes says "need to go here, haven't time to talk". Why the f**k did you ring me then?!

I was at a house party a few months ago. A fella came with a box of drink and made sure he was seen coming with it. Hid the drink in a dark corner. Proceeded to drink the drink in the house. Then left on the quiet, taking his drink with him. Cheeky get!

To me, it's on par as calling black people the N-word or any other racial words.

Why is it different for disabled people, particularly those with learning difficulties? Or do you not consider them as equals?

Not once did I insult disabled people and how dare you insinuate that I did or even attempted to. Anti-retardation pills are actual medication that some people need to take to calm themselves down. This was my joke I was making. If you didnt like it, fine.

Do you take issue with the term retardation?

It is a perfectly viable medical term.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

No it isn't
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: slievegullion on July 21, 2009, 05:42:58 PM
From www.dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com)

Retardation:

–noun
1.    the act of retarding or state of being retarded.
2.    something that retards; hindrance.
3.    slowness or limitation in intellectual understanding and awareness, emotional development, academic progress, etc.
4.    Music. a form of suspension that is resolved upward.

The bold type would have been the meaning I was going for, the fact that there somehow could be some sort of magical pills to negate this condition was the joke and that maybe some people should have taken these. Again if you didn't like it fine.

Just some people are so quick to take offense and don't dare insinuate that I was trying to insult disabled people as some members of my family are disabled and I take great offense at your accusation.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: ziggysego on July 21, 2009, 07:15:27 PM
I'm still not a fan of the term, but I accept that you weren't using it as a derogatory manner against disabled people. For that, I apologise.

Quote1. Personal abuse.
    Personal abuse is one of the most common problems on internet boards. Known sometimes as 'playing the man', whether foul language is used or not, this behaviour is
    not allowed.
    e.g. Calling someone a fat fool is the same as calling someone something more vulgar. This rule applies even in situations where another user has breached this, or
    another rule. Retaliation is still a breach of the rule.
   
    Penalties- 1st Offence - Warning,  Second Offence - 2 Day Ban, Third Offence - 10 Day Ban, Fourth Offence - Permanent Ban

Yes but in fairness Gullion is trying to make a fool out of TG which is not on either as there is def no need for a balaclava with that girl ;)

Gobshite Hitlers in Bank Branches!!!!!

Went into a branch of AIB to make a lodgment to the club account for the lotto, went to customer service and asked for a print out from the last month (to update the figures for those who pay by SO).
"We don't do that"
No, I just want a screen print, not a full statement
"We can't do that".
As I smiled turned and walked away, I told her there was no panic, that I would be in my normal branch tommorrow and that they would do it for me
"Oh, they are not supposed to do that"
Don't worry about it!!!

Its amazing how f**king ridiculous some branches can be, whereas some have a bit of cop on.

Encountered that one day myself. Just one of their ways to rape you for even more cash by getting you to fork out the charge for a full statement outside your usual monthly one.

Tried to ring their freephone number off mobile only to be told "You have dialled a barred number", so I then rang their callsave number to be told "you have insufficient credit to make this call"...

Then rang their Callsave number off house phone and there are only operators available between the hours of  8am & 10pm ... grr

Mr Guinness everyone on the board knows you moan and complain about everything and everyone. We'd live in some world if everyone had your attitude and your weird ways. as for the tongue in the ass and mouthing well read over your own posts and see who is mouthing and as for the tongue in the ass...don't knock it till you try it Wink. You'd win the world cup of mouthing but your more of a sad individual than a mouth (if that is possible). you need to get a life saan, get the leg over and smoke a joint that should chill you out for a few hours.

I dread to think how grumpier your gonna be now your unemployed (which I'm genuinely sorry for as i wouldn't wish that on anyone...not even you) the MOD's will need to be working overtime to deal with your complaints Sad

Christian - Eastenders. Then he got a booting.

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!! I've noticed it before but he took the biscuit! About half a glass, down the throat no bother at all, not even a grimmace. Good to see him getting a kickin' though.  He did come out with a very heartfelt line though, that we have to commend the writers on:

"Its times like this I wish I was straight"

Also, if I had said to my ma "I want to go to Paul's for a crap" she'd have the peelers round at his within 2 minutes. Paul, in my opinion, is a dirty bastard.

The fact you when you pass Dungiven to shitty North Derry you lose signal for Phone and radio.

Have to agree with you there, but think of the great radio stations you can then pick up the otherside of Dungiven, the likes of Q102.9, Q101.2 West and Maiden City FM, classy stations. Especially some of the ads.

In fact those bloody ads grind my gears big time especially the ones with 2 derry city girls chattin about something in their worst possible city accents, usually a chip shop or something - 'Here Majella, did you hear about the 2 for one offer on cheese burgers at the Ice Warf?; No Majella I never did, but I'm going now, wouldnt want to miss out on a free burger, have only had 3 today so far, i'm fading away!' etc etc.

Its actually the bucket load of salt that Kelloggs add to their cereal that differentiates it from the rest. The cheap ones usually have as much sugar.

thanks for that but apparently you've to speak to your branch about account queries.

talked to them this morning anyway, it's been their error - messing about with a couple of my accounts, I have no idea why, she wasnt keen on telling me why either but it's been sorted out so f**k it.  At least I haven't been robbed.  I asked about there not being a contact number for emergencies and now she's sending me a pack about internet banking so I can view my account online, how that would have helped last night I dont know.  Banks!

People that put the toilet seat down after taking a dump. What is the logic behind this? If you leave the seat up and open a window/ stick on the vents, the smell will be gone in 5 minutes. Putting the seat down only traps the smell for the poor, unsuspecting victim that next uses the toilet, even if that is an hour or two later.

Mach 3 blades.

It seems they've made them into single use items. Robbing Gillette bastards. Shaved with a new one yesterday. One day's growth hence and I shave again this morning. Now this is level 1 on the scud stubble scale. We're not talkin a Joe McMahon style forest or anything. Well it felt like I was rubbing little pieces of glass over my face with a lump of fooking sandpaper. Complete joke. Ended up hopping the thing off the wall.

Anyone use wilkinson? Never forkin out whatever ridiculous amount it is Gillette charge for their rusty bowsaws again!!

It seems they've made them into single use items. Robbing Gillette b**tards. Shaved with a new one yesterday. One day's growth hence and I shave again this morning. Now this is level 1 on the scud stubble scale. We're not talkin a Joe McMahon style forest or anything. Well it felt like I was rubbing little pieces of glass over my face with a lump of fooking sandpaper. Complete joke. Ended up hopping the thing off the wall.

Anyone use wilkinson? Never forkin out whatever ridiculous amount it is Gillette charge for their rusty bowsaws again!!

Rant over  :P

Someone must have been shaving their legs with it. 

Personally I stopped buying all those rip off ones, I just get the cheapest.  Does the job. 

I couldn't use them cheap ones at all,cut the face off me they would..
Mach 3 the best I find

Actually I don't know what the relevance of the day is - finding out any day that you're away first thing on Monday is enough.

Jeez I useta love trips away with work. Think of it as a big adventure!

I liked the idea of away trips with work before i started, after the first one they were just a pain! Now if they sent me to Spain or the states maybe that would be ok, but it was always Birmingham, Doncaster etc. The monday morning flights were just a killer and the only good away trips were the week long training courses - usually in Scotland!

I find those who give out about being told off or constantly complain that their boss is a cnut or a w**ker are usually the ones who do f**k all at work but yet still expect to be paid a wage.
Some people don't seem to realise you go to work(and here's the big shocker) to work!! a lot of f**kers actually are shocked they they are being told off for not working ,but then its the boss or foreman or supervisor who is a bollix because he had the nerve to ask the person to do the work they are being paid to do ::)

ha,maybe i should explain... I do a lot of work during the day. The reason i said that was because she checked when i was on holiday only by looking at websites visited, you can visit 5 or 6 websites easly in a day during breaks etc. But they took it as i was always on 'surfing' , which isnt the case. And anyway my work is of the highest quality so all you on your 'babysittin' high horses,relax and give them something more cgallenging to do ;)

Rush to buy my ticket for the match in the ticket ofice then as I walk to the match cursing yourself for leaving yourself a few minutes late for match, I watch my friend make a call. As he is on the phone he lossens his grip and his ticket flys off in the air, to land in the Canal. I then watch his ticket floating aimlessly as numerous attempts to salvage it fail miserably before he ends up buying another ticket.

Managers and players who say 'step up to the plate' to try and get you to player better...like what the f**k...what plate are they on about....is it a dinner plate

The way the media calls every single scandel that happens 'something gate' in reference to the Watergate affair. Such as the way the fake blood incident with Harlequins is being referred to as 'BloodGate'. I remember a few months ago 'ExpensesGate' was doing the rounds in the paper. Like for f**k sake the whole 'gate' thing is played out now.

Copy and paste the e-mail to Microsoft wood, then choose 'toos' option in the toolbar (it think its that one) then go to 'lowercase' and it changes all the words to lower case for you.

When there's a bit of scuffling in a game and pundits along the media with the media call it disgraceful and violent, bringing shame on the game etc......when in actual fact there was no solid punches or kicks thrown, just players pushing each other and holding each other in headlocks.....such as the international rules a few years ago, the tyrone armagh ulster final 2005, the dublin tyrone game in omagh a few years ago, etc.

They weren't fights at all. Just fellas trying to be a bit macho without getting sent off. This is what I call a decent fight

The stupid f**k that almost put me over the hedge last week.  C**t was over taking going up a hill, I came over the hill to be faced with a transit van on the wrong side of the wrong. Thought the game was up, could see no way of avoiding him.  Stood on the brakes and hoped for the best, skidded and waited for the bang.  The car the w**ker was over-taking must have slammed on the brakes too and let him in just in time. Could hardly clutch the whole way home my leg was shaking that much.  Scared the life out of me. Would have loved to have caught the b**tard.

Also, only getting 3 hours sleep last night and being at work on a bank holiday.

If its the latter why are you wearing jeans while cycling? should you not get a pair of track suit bottoms or something?

I need something to stop the crotch of my jeans tearing, it's unreal!

Are you using the bike for getting to work or exercising in the evenings?
If its the latter why are you wearing jeans while cycling? should you not get a pair of track suit bottoms or something?
Well both and getting around the increasing traffic congested area I live.

Have a look on www.wiggle.co.uk and get yourself some proper cycling gear, there are plenty of shorts that come with the cycling shorts as separates , not a revealing as they are on their own!!

i would head out twice a week and cover about 30 to 40 miles and then do a bit more on my day of, its trying to get the time is the biggest issue. I completed this yesterday (lough neagh) (http://www.lapthelough.org/lap-event.html) with a few mates.  You will be surprised how soon you will improve at it, by doing a bit every week.

Did a 25 mile cycle there at the weekend. T'was the first time I've been on a bike in years. And have to say it wasn't half as bad as I was expecting. Not too sore the next day either apart from my ass. And I was on a mountain bike with nearly everyone else on racers!

You will be surprised how quickly you will build up the distance, i am as unfit as you would get and wouldnt run a mile but have no bother doing 30 miles on a bike. Get yourself one of thsoe speedo things and it will give you average speed/dsistant covered etc, it is a great way to see the progress you will make

Sky Sports News building up transfer deadline day. I think they actually make up transfer rumours just to fill the day. They just showed some reporter at Spurs saying that Matthew Upson might be signing for Spurs because he saw a car enter the training ground with the number plate MWU and he said the passenger bore a slight resemblence of Upson. I think he realised himself that as he was saying it that he was talking absolute bollocks.

Compared to the pain you're probably in, it'll be a breeze.  I had it done in a dentist in Switzerland.

People who park right at the door of a shop. then stop and get talking to someone right at the door and you have to try and shuffle past the fat bitch and her car just to get a bit of grub for lunch! And she looked at me like i had two heads when i said exuse me, i dont care if your holdin a child or not love, you can stand and chat all day about your kids, just not right in front of the door when im clean starvin for sausage beans and chips!

They always seem to be fat c***ts, driving a people carrier, have a a massive bunch of car keys with loads of keyrings hanging off, holding a big black purse in one hand and wearing white tshirt and black leggings with baby sick on them

The GAAboard at the minute. The place has gone to the dogs in the last few weeks.

You only have to look at the threads on the front page to see numerous WUMs and arseholes running wild, free from any censure. Those wind up threads were the first decent threads in weeks until a handful of idiots started filling them with crap.

The irony of it all is that these boys are getting away with far greater misdeeds than a number of well liked and respected posters, who've recently been exiled.

But sure she had kids with her,did you not know that when a woman has kids with her she is can do what ever she pleases,
This includes parking at a petrol pump but just going into the shop and not get any petrol,pulling in and out of spaces without indicating and basically doing as they please.....

People who let their children run about nuts in banks, doctors or supermarkets. And don't even take any notice or tell the child to stop it. Have they gave up or are they just lazy c***ts?

Parents who do that and dont control their children because they are showing off their child. Especially parents who let their 6 year old children run around a pub and send them up to the bar to ask for drink for them because they think the rest of the punters will find it funny.

But what the f**k are they actaully doing. From what I can see they are taking away the old metal barriers and replacing them with concrete walls. What the f**k is the point in that?

On the topic of parenting, parents who back their child to the hilt even when they are obviously in the wrong annoys me.  No wonder so many children have no respect for anyone.

The cheque (as in the cheque you give to a bank), they spell it as 'check'.

Yea this is really annoying...I just don't get why the traffic actually comes to a standstill at some points when 2 lanes are still open???  How like??!!!  People being nosey feckers looking at the workers I suppose.  Does my head in, especially trying to get on the M1 at Stockman's Lane.  I actually go by Shaw's Bridge and Hillhall now and go on the motorway there; I dunno if it is shorter or longer but at least you are moving the whole time so it doesn't feel as long!!

Yea this is really annoying...I just don't get why the traffic actually comes to a standstill at some points when 2 lanes are still open???  How like??!!!  People being nosey feckers looking at the workers I suppose.  Does my head in, especially trying to get on the M1 at Stockman's Lane.  I actually go by Shaw's Bridge and Hillhall now and go on the motorway there; I dunno if it is shorter or longer but at least you are moving the whole time so it doesn't feel as long!!
yesterday evening was a complete nightmare, 40 minutes to travel the 10 miles from belfast to  lisburn on the motorway, and then the traffic just seems to free up!
like someone said , i dont understand how the tailbacks are so bad when there are still 2 lanes open ???

Often wondered the same until i saw this show about it one night. Basically someone around Lisburn on motorway standing on the brakes can cause traffic to stand still several miles behind them. Its like a domino effect. Thats why all of a sudden it just starts to move again. Biggest offenders are the tailgating brigade. You know who you are.

Is there any other routes to avoid the traffic heading out of the city. Its really pissing me off now. The traffic is at a crawling speed from Broadway to Saintfield and what gets me even more is that the inside lane moves quicker than the outside one, which is meant to be the fast lane.

On a lighter note. Has anyone seen the worker on the M1 wearing the turban. I've seen him wearing a blue one and a yellow one this week. I thought it was regulation that everyone on a building site had to wear a hardhat.

There is more than one wearing a turban
Quite a number of workers on the motorway would be foreign

Cooking dinner for myself, picked up this breast of chicken in the shop of the way home, cooked it (nearly burnt it as I've a new cooker and it's much faster than the old one and I've burned nearly everything I've cooked since getting it), and it was looking good until I stuck the knife and fork in it and there was nothing in it only f**king bones and skin.  Wtf! not two mouthfuls of chicken! and I'm starving.

Seems to be a lot of complaints about RTEs online content. Have they not fully made it into the 21st century yet? For one the world's most westernised nations the 26 have a shameful telecoms infrastructure.

Every supply has to run out sooner or later.

When you buy bog roll, say you buy a 4 pack, do you put 3 in the bathroom and keep one in "supply"? Then when these 3 are used up, you use the "supply" bog roll. Then when this is used, the supply is gone.

The way the media are selective with the stats they display in order to sensationalise their story.

Just from looking at skysports this morning I seen two perfect examples.

Quote'A landmark day in the Midlands saw Doyle's goal help Wolves to their first Premier League success at home since May 2004.'

QuoteBolton Wanderers have taken just one point from a possible nine at home this season while they have not won on home soil since they battered Middlesbrough 4-1 at the beginning of April.

The way the reporters write these facts lets on as if Wolves havnt won a home premier league game in 5 years but he doesnt say that they where in the championship for 4 fours between times.

The same with Bolton, as if they havnt won a home game in 5 months, but the reported declines to mention the summer break

f**k that annoys me

Gossips, people who live for gossip, people who love spreading the gossip, people who love when something bad happens to someone else so that they can spread the gossip and add even more gossip on top of the gossip that is going around.  Gossip, Gossip, Gossip, its everywhere i look, gossip vultures are everywhere, i cant look round but someone is spreading manure gossip about someone else.  Gossip compells some peoples lives, they just need more and more gossip.  Every day more gossip,  bigger gossip, more juicy gossip.  it a drug to some people...not me though.

Didnt you say in some other thread there that you buy the enquirer magazine for the gossip.

People in small towns tend to love the gossip more. This is because there is usually feck all else happening therefore gossip passes the time. Who is the biggest gossip on the board?

Ulster Exile and Hound of Ulster are currently 1 & 2.  Pm's full of gossip.

Really?
Maybe they could get their own column in the Sun or something. Any chance of these two starting a thread re all the gossip they come across on the board and off?

Very simple way to put a stop to that, scrutinise every possible decision, drag it out and then choose the option that is least appealing to her. Very soon she'll be only too happy to do everything on her own...  ;D

She finally stops mocking you about it and you relax. You have a laugh together, sharing jokes, swapping jokes..... suddenly you relax too much and fart out loud..... THE f**king SHAME OF IT.

You finally get over that. Need to go to the toilet and excuse yourself. Sit down on the toilet.... stomach goes crazy and you fart and shite ah-la Dumber and Dumb. She hears you from her living room. Mood killed.  :'(

Lads that ask other posters to post articles. It's understandable for exiles like Puck or PoG to do it occasionally (and I don't think either of those 2 boys have ever done it to be fair to them), but boys in the country that can't be arsed to buy a paper? f**k sake the Irish News is only 70p in the shop if you want to read Heaney on a Tuesday or a £1 if you want Brolly in the Gaelic Life on a Friday, quit your mooching and put your hand in your pocket like the rest of us.

ONeill's recent threads have obviously got your goat. Say I buy the Irish News every day and some bucko on here declares that there is a great article in The Irish Times. Does that mean that I have to go and spend money on The Irish Times just to read the article which could turn out to be shite, knowing that some on this board are able to access the article online?

FFS, the hacks would have 100 threads everyday, if we were to buy a paper every time some bucko recommended an article.

No, that's not what I mean. Generally you'll find that if someone sees an above average article then they'll post it. That's fair enough, I do it myself. But using Heaney and Brolly as an example - everyone knows that they have columns in their papers about 50 weeks out of the 52 on the same day of the week. Yet nearly without fail, but especially when someone says they found the article very good, you'll get someone asking for it to be posted. To me, that's just ripping the arse out of it. I don't think it's a big thing to buy the paper once a week if you're a fan of a columist. It was the same with the Mickey Harte column, every week someone was looking it posted, I'm not sure if it's still the same, probably not because if they're like me they got bored with fairly quickly.

As regards to O'Neill's thread, I like it because I get to look at columnists that I wouldn't usually look at and if I like the look of a particular writer I'll occasionally buy their paper to see what he says. If someone wants to throw up an article unprompted, great but if they don't I wouldn't specifically ask for it.

When you ring the bank and noone in the branch will take your call and you go straight through to the 'Branch Support Team' and they havent got a f**king clue what they are at,

and they put you on hold for 10 mins with that shite music playing

BTW i hope none of the GAABOARDERS work in Bank support teams

Bank support teams wreck my head - can never ever get through to the main banks - the support team are based in some call centre god knows where and havnt a clue what your talking about and all the help they are able to give you is to take your number and get someone in the branch to call you back - and they never ever do!

Indeed I will, any foul play and I will bounce you out the door.  Either that or order you to stand in the naughty corner. Or as I like to call it, giving you a Standing Order.

Hate Pub Quizes with a vengeance. Usually dragged along on a weekday night as a favour to someone. They always start at least 45 mins late and then agonizingly stop half way through for the raffle. The "funny answers"  are absolutely cringeworthy.

The presence of the "sharks" always cracks me up as they intensely zero in on the 1st prize of E100 between all 4 of them. Clowns one and all.

Glad to get this one off my chest.

Several people i work with (this involves a bit of inter departmental bitching / rivalry) have a habit of having a pop at our department and on every single occasion they have copied in on email the higher echelons of management etc when the said persons are 20 feet away and could just walk over and ask the individual concerned. And on each occasion they have been shown to be talking out of their asses. Initially we just proved them wrong and replied to them alone, but after several failed attempts at exposing our department we have replied each time copying in all the original recipients. How many times does a person have to be made look stupid before they will cease their little attacks ? Obviously around 20 isn't enough :D
Does anyone else get this in their work place ?

The recession and imminent further redundancies has created much job envy. If they copped themselves on and pulled in one direction we would have a better chance of survival.

Happens in every company I've worked in. When some people feel the pressure coming on, instead of putting the head down and sorting their stuff out, they try and deflect, and think that if someone else looks bad, it elevates their position. Crazy logic imo.

Was at work here just a few weeks after I started. The guy who sits across the desk from me waits until the team meeting to tell me there was a certain job that was part of my duties that hadnt been carried out for weeks. So I asked him on front of everyone why he waited all week to tell me.

He ended up looking like an idiot, and got a lecture that he should have let me know about this sooner.

What odds? There's piles of times I put small amounts on a card if I haven't any money on me. People use it as a way to try and save money as if they took it from the hole in the wall it would have to be a 10er and the remaining £7.87 would be squandered.

I'll say nothing about the smells that come out of your hole illdecide. The whole bus on the way to the all Ireland this year will never forget it.

Soaps grind my gears. Why does the wife watch so many of them? And mostly English crap.  Asked her the other day why she doesn't watch fair city but she didn't really have an answer.

Reminds me - theres a local character who works as a delivery driver - under pressure one day he reversed into a yoke. Hadnt done much damage, and was about to drive on when he saw a woman sitting in another car watching him accusingly, but with no time to wait, he decided he'd leave a note.

Hopped out and put the note on the other cars windscreen, nodded at the woman watching him, who appeared satisfied, and drove off.

Wish I'd been there to see the owner of the car come back to see the damge, and a note saying only 'Sorry' on the windscreen... :D

1. Driving with no MOT

2. (possibly) Careless driving. Lacking concentration is driving without due care and attention which is the definition of careless driving!

"Watched" a programme on BBC last night called "Around Ireland in 80 days" by a guy called McGarrigle who is touring the south.
He started off in Louth and proceeded to pronounce the name of that county about a dozen times as if it rhymed with "south".

Less energy spent keeping the body core at temperature means more energy available for the muscles used to play. I think Ricey has a thesis written on that if you're interested.

I always drive through them red lights , there is such a long wait between them turning red at one end and green on the other - so for ages both sets of cars are sitting like dicks waiting for someone to move - thats what wastes time. It drives me mad when dicks sit there as soon as the light changes red - at least 8 cars can go through - prob more before it will turn green on other end

I have to agree TG the timing on those lights is usually a disaster.  If i'm anywhere close to the light when it goes red I just send her on through.

The car breaking down. Everything about the experience is crap:

Missing or being horribly late for what you were heading to.
Sitting like a tube on the side of the road waiting for a tow.
The towing process itself, where you constantly feel like you're going to smack into the yoke in front.
The inconvenience of not having the car while its in the garage.
The bill from the garage.

Cars are shite.

these d**khead also seem to actually learn where certain roads are rough/bumpy and will drive out into the oncoming lane to avoid said bumps ffs
noticed them myself..shower of bastards. why on earth lower your car??? and the whole exhaust thing, so that it sounds like a chainsaw??? benders

People that stand in the queue at the bar, and then wait till the barman comes to them before asking their mates what they want..

Example:

"What'll you have"
"I'll have a vodka please"
"£2.30 mate"
"sigh. Anything else?"
"Emmmmmm...hang on... John.. JOHN.. what do you want?.. a stella please..."

Feckin imbiciles.  Too stupid to be allowed into bars.  >:(

Puts me up the feckin' walls.If you are over 18 it should be law that when ordering a round, you order the stout first.Failure to comply with said law should result in having to buy everyone at the bar a drink,and whoevr was next gets their whole round paid for by said gimp.

Minder -that's about the fact that you've been asleep in a cubicle in the bogs for two and a half hours,slumped over with your bags round your ankles.Thankfully the barstaff found you and managed to get you woken up before you suffered a prolapsed bowel.But it's ok,when they got you into a taxi,they laughed about it for 2 hours over free pints.

Jesus. I had to crawl under the door of a cublicle in benedicts one night to open the door.

A squaddie who was dating one of the girls had fallen asleep in that very position. I was the new guy, so in I went.

I opened the door and the bouncers took care of the rest.

Rain (Belfast ones will know what I mean). The conversation I had with the bouncers I tonight went as follows;

Tac: Can we get in alright?
Bouncer : Your mates can but not you. Head bouncer said you were slabbering to him last Saturday night
Tac: But I wasn't here last Saturday night (100% the truth)
Bouncer : Well the head bouncer says you did.

I let my mates go on in as I didn't want to ruin their night. 5 minutes later I had a word with the head bouncer

Tac: Was I causing trouble last Saturday night?
Head Bouncer : You were slabbering last Saturday night
Tac : I wasn't here last Saturday night
Bouncer : Well it was last Saturday night or the Saturday night before. I never forget a face.

I gave up at that stage. I was in Cullyhanna the Saturday night before.

So basically lying bouncers grind my gears.

That place isnt too long reopened yet those bouncers are already notorious wankers,and is precisely why I have no intention of ever setting foot in it.
Thought this may be of some consolation, a friend of mine was queuing to get in last week but was told he was too drunk (which admittedly he was). They told him to go and get a burger and they'd let him in alright, so he went and got one and went back to the bouncers. said "right i've got my burger, can i get in?" Reply: "no". Queue said burger being thrown in bouncer's face  :)

That's nothing, few years baco I'd this boy ringing my mobile regularly absolutely insisting I was someone else and he'd spoke to me before on that number and my number was in his phone and he couldn't have got it wrong etc.  He was an ignorant **** too.  I tried to remain pleasant each time but then he called again when I was on my game home from a game in croker that Armagh had lost (may have been 03 final or 04 quarter final) and he got fucked from a height.  He never called back.

Post by: tyrone girl on November 23, 2009, 03:07:40 PM
What activates the virus to cause a cold sore? No one really understands why the virus in the ganglion suddenly wakes up from time to time, and decides to go to the skin and cause a cold sore. But, in some people, there are some definite triggers that make this happen, such as:
bright sunshine
wind
other damage to the skin (such as 'facial resurfacing' procedures)
emotional stress
physical stress, such as having another illness
major dentistry, such as having a tooth removed
menstruation.

Im going for the emotional stress one  :-\

Actually, PoG is right. Cold sores are from the herpes family.

Type 1 herpes simplex virus.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 ("HSV1") generally only infects those body tissues that lie "above the waistline" and it is HSV1 that causes cold sores in the majority of cases.

Type 2 herpes simplex virus.
Herpes simplex virus type 2 ("HSV2") usually only infects those body tissues that lie "below the waistline" and it is this virus that is also known as "genital herpes." Herpes simplex virus type 2 is not usually the virus that causes cold sores, although it can.

However it is a dormat virus, which can manifest itself at different times for unknown reasons.

When someone says something that they clearly want to be asked about, but if you do ask, it involves a big rigmarole of them telling wee bits at a time whenever they start losing your interest, and then whenever they do tell all, it turns out to be a loada shite anyway.

Havent seen the currys ad, but it used to be on a billboard advertising paddy kieltys play - rather than to show some kind of uniting of cultures, I imagine it made the other side feel like I did - nauseous!!

I'd say thats a seriously poor marketing campaign by currys if its aimed at Ireland-  they prob love it in britain though...

People who drive around but cannot drive.

Don't use their indicators, don't understand which lane they are supposed to be in, don't understand stop signs or yellowboxs, don't understand speed limits on open roads or in urban areas, who park like knobjockies.

Also hate kids who throw snowballs at moving cars in icy conditions with lots of traffic and pedestrians about. The last shit that did that to me, I followed his parents into Lidil and grassed the little f**ker out. He wasn't so smart when his ould-lady made a show of him in front of all his mates. The little p***k. Think he was about to start crying the 16 year old cry-baby/hardman :'(  Told him the next time he does it, it will be the Gardai I'll be calling.

Speaking of weirdos,I went into a cafe to get a roll this morning and when I went to get a paper off the rack there was a fella(actually he was a skanger) there with one of the papers open reading it,he was completely in my way,so I asked him to move so I could get a paper for myself,he gave me a look like as if I was after calling his mother a whore or something! then grunted and moved out of the way...
When I was then at the counter paying  he came right up behind me and was almost on top of me...I turned to walked out and he was standing right in front of me..I just side stepped him and gave him a bit of a shoulder as I walked past..

That reminds me, in Australia theu don't say the January 1'st (First) they say January 1 (One), it sounds pure retarded.

RUGBYSPEAK

As perfected by Ryle Nugent/Gerry Thornley ( and the rest)

Things like:

1 "Field Position"....... aka kicking the ball into your opponents'half
2 "Handling error"...... aka dropping the ball
3 "Phase"...... aka running 3 yards with the ball, falling over and letting go of the ball
4 "Genius, sheer genius"....... aka an Irish player kicking the ball over the sideline

Drives me nuts listening to it.

I was late one morning and the boss demanded an explanation! I told him my girlfriend was having a baby. He changed his tune and was really nice to me and really concerned. He then asked, was it a boy or a girl? I said 'I'll tell you in about nine months'. He laughed.

There is nothing more annoying than some gobshite sitting at exactly the speed limit on the outside lane taking half the day to overtake some granny on the inside. Put yer feckin foot down and get passed and then do your 70mph on the inside lane and let those of us that want to actually get somewhere get on with it.

I won't break the law for you or anybody.

If you want to get somewhere on time, leave earlier you ****** *****

People who think its ok to speed on the roads.
People who try to bully you off the road because they want to drive as fast as they like.
People who overtake on unbroken white lines.
People who exceed the speed limit in Urban areas.
People who ignore temporary speed limit signs.
People who run red lights when they think nobody is looking.
People who do not stop at stop signs.
People who play tic-tac-to when driving (ie car hoping).
People who overtake on bends or humps on the road.
People on motercycles or bikes who ignore the rules of the road.
People who enter yellowboxs when they are not supposed to and block the entire fucken road on all other road users.
People who park on double yellow lines, especially when it blocks entrances, exits.
People who will not get out of the way of ambulances (you stupid assholes)
So bad drivers grind your gears?

Yip, add in flutes who don't know how or when to use their indicators. Another major pet hate is people who think they can have one or two drinks and drive or go on the all-mighty piss the night before and drive. Idiots using their mobile phones while driving, looking in their vanity mirror, reading the newspaper (I have actualy witnessed somebody doing this) etc.

People wonder why we have so many road deaths, its this stupidity along with the awful roads. People who don't change speed for the weather conditions, holy Jesus its Ireland the roads are going to be greasy more times than not.

Its amazing that the only people that seem to drive correctly on the motorways in the free state are either nordie reg or English reg. Worst offenders are Meath Westmeath Monaghan and Louth registered cars. Feckin clueless. Accidents on roads are caused by people that have neither the brains or the practical know how to drive. Stick to the horse and cart hombres

I don't have a problem with people using lanes but the majority of cyclists don't give a f**k about the rules and there aren't too many cycle lanes that go across a main junction most of them stop and start again on the other side,not that it matters to most cyclists as most of them pass you on the inside as you turn left ::)

:D

Cars who come to a stop in a bike lane forcing you out onto the road

Cars who turn left right across your path. They wouldn't turn left across a lane of traffic as there'd be a danger to themselves but once that danger is to someone else...  ::)

Why are you passing a car on the left when they are turning left  ???

Cos they're supposed to give way to you? But I do not take the chance if I'm riding a bike, too many people not used to bike lanes.

If a bike comes up behind you and tries to pass you on the left as you are turning left you are suppose to give way to them  ??? where the f**k is the rule for that? If I have a filter light to turn left and a bike going straight ahead tries to pass me on the left I will stay going and they can f**king bloody well stop or get runover it's their choice

If you've a filter light then you've the right of way, but if there's a marked bike lane on your left you don't right? Most bike lanes in Ireland are badly designed anyway, I would ride in the traffic lane and not risk your turning.

If the bike lane has a broken white line the car turning left has right of way but if it has a solid white line the cyclist has right of way. TBH I try to avoid cycle lanes, they are a death trap (people walking out in front of you, glass, cars overtaking and turning left etc.) and promote a false sense of security.

Arseholes who cannot drive.

Those pricks who drive behid you when you are doing 100kph on a single lane road and then start flashing their lights like loons because you will neither speed up so they can go faster, or slow down so they can overtake, GET THIS YOU DIPSHITS FROM SATANS BUT CRACK, I am driving the LEGAL LIMIT YOU SLUT FACE WANKSHAFT MOTHER******* KNOBENDS, FCUK OFF AN DIE IF THIS DOESN'T SUIT YOU, YOU BLOODY GEEEEEEEEEEEEBAGS      >:(   >:(    >:(   >:(   >:(   >:(   >:(   >:(

Same goes for if I am on a dual-carriageway or motorway, if I am doing 120 passing out, f**k YOU FLASHING YOUR LIGHTS, NO I BLOODY WON'T EXCEED THE SPEEDLIMIT AND NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I WON'T GET OUT OF YOUR f**king WAY, BECAUSE I AM STILL OVERTAKING, GO TO HELL AND DIE A PAINFULL DEATH ON THE WAY YOU SPEEEEEEEEDING MOTHERFUCKERS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Are you one these fellas who start overtaking around Mullingar and still haven't completed the job by Enfield?

No if you overtake at the correct speed it may take 30 seconds to overtake instead of 10 seconds, but thats only if the car you are overtaking is doing 115 and you are doing 120, look at the rules of the road, you are NEVER supposed to go over the limit even when overtaking.

We don't have feckn Autobahns in Ireland, the amount of dicks that do 120 on dual-carriageways (sorry they have other roads crossing them, junctions etc.) or 130, 140, 150 on Motorways is crazy.

I will never do less than 118-120 on the outside lane on a motorway, it would annoy me if there was someone on the outside lane overtaking at 90-100kph.

Also get annoyed with knobends, undertaking on motorways, and not using their indicators, last week I witness a truck pull out into the fast land without indicating at the very same time the car that had overtook me at at least 140 was on the same part of the outside lane, both of them ended up skiding and sliding all over the road nearly forcing another truck to crash, luckly as I was only doing 120 I was able to brake and avoid and roar "ASSHOLES" as I passed safely by.

Cars may not enter a bicycle lane with a continuous white line, a bicycle lane with a broken white line may be entered by a car if it is clear to do so. If a bicycle has to brake hard to "f**king bloody well stop" it's pretty clear you're in the wrong, you wouldn't pull out in front of an articulated lorry would you???

On the subject of driving,

Having to navigate the roads on the way to work this morning with 8-12 inches of snow on the ground.

Have these american companies never heard of snow days?

Took me an hour and 10 minutes for my daily 15 minute commute.

You mean adhering to rules of the road, as opposed to the Nordie regs fluting around Mayo speeding and flaunting every single rule of the road.

If a bike comes up behind you and tries to pass you on the left as you are turning left you are suppose to give way to them  ??? where the f**k is the rule for that? If I have a filter light to turn left and a bike going straight ahead tries to pass me on the left I will stay going and they can f**king bloody well stop or get runover it's their choice

Cars may not enter a bicycle lane with a continuous white line, a bicycle lane with a broken white line may be entered by a car if it is clear to do so. If a bicycle has to brake hard to "f**king bloody well stop" it's pretty clear you're in the wrong, you wouldn't pull out in front of an articulated lorry would you???

If I am at a junction and I have a filter light to turn left and as I am turning left a d**khead on a bike tries to pass me on the left you dont see anything wrong with what the fella on the bike is doing ???  ::)

And another thing if there is one of these continuous bike lanes should the fella on the bike not wait until the lights turn green to indicate they can go forward?
Like f**k they do  ::)

The "d**khead" on the bike is going straight ahead, you are the one turning left crossing his lane. You wouldn't pull out in front of a bus thundering down the bus lane, yet you feel it is ok to pull out in front of a bike???

How many junctions do you know that will have a bus lane going straight ahead on a cars passengers side if there is a filter light and lane for someone to turn left  ::)
You are making no sense

I never mentioned anything about junctions & neither did you until 2 posts ago. I was just trying to show you your disregard for fellow road users, the mirrors are there for a reason...

I mentioned junctions and green filter lights a good bit back but choose to ignore it..
Your right mirrors are there for a reason they make a great tool for whacking cyclists especially the big ones I have on the van

That junction post must be of the invisible variety. Cyclists of Ireland, watch out for wimin drivers, and laoiselad...

Its 4 posts back not two...
Your just pissed because a Laois team put a Westmeath team back in their box yesterday  :)

Wrong again, it was your second post back...

Portlaoise deserved it yesterday, thought with the extra man & the wind Garrycastle would pull through & I'd have put my house on it after Gary Dolan goaled. However the immediate goal killed Garrycastle for some reason, their heads just seemed to go down, the center back had a very good game on Dessie. There's only one club in the town right???

There are filter lights where a bus lane merges into an ordinary lane to form one ordinary lane along a stretch of road, I wouldn't call this a junction. If any more examples spring to mind I'll be sure to post them...

I hate those little boy racers, with the cars that sound like there's something wrong with the exhausts and the music blaring so it can be heard half a mile away.
They need to be taken out of the car and beat up and down the street.

Have to say I agree, except the beating part, I would replace it with gaol the bastards.

But I was talking about turning left when I mentioned Filter lights...surely any sane person would know if turning left on the command of a filter light would mean you were at a junction?

Have to say this is the strangest argument I ever had  :D

Well maybe your argument ain't that good if you have to qualify it, there was no mention of junctions or filter lights in your initial post anyway...

Speaking of sane people, surely any sane person wouldn't pull across a cyclist coming up the inside. Like I said you wouldn't pull into a lane with an articulated lorry passing you out...

Course they would! I was nearly under the wheels of car a couple of weeks ago because the w**ker pulled out of a side street straight in front of me ffs! Felt the bumper graze my leg.

There is nothing wrong with my argument,just because you went off on a rant and designing new bus lane routes that make a bus bomb down the left hand side of a car at a junction wanting to turn left rather than take the time to read what I was actually posting doesn't mean my argument is flawed!

By the way surely a sane cyclist wouldn't go gung ho through a junction playing cat and mouse with cars who are turning left?

I'm sure any sane cyclist wouldn't go gung ho through a junction purely because of the gobshites out there not looking around them. Likewise I'm sure any sane driver will check the cycle lane before pulling across it...

Not all of them no...

Pedestrians don't(or shouldn't) cross a road when cars have the right of way because the filter light is green...

Hope your not as angry when your on a bike you might get distracted and hit a car turning left

And bike lanes don't run through junctions? Anyways I'm sure you look out for pedestrians when turning, the same care towards bicycles would be appreciated...

Not all of them no...

Pedestrians don't(or shouldn't) cross a road when cars have the right of way because the filter light is green...

Can't argue with any of that although Dublin City Council are running cycle lanes through any junctions they are upgrading at the moment

Which leads me onto another gear grinder, public administrators flitering away the last of their budgets for the year so that their budget for next year doesn't decrease. Surely the government can bring in some incentive to erase this practice...

So you have never been in a meeting that has run past its schedule? You can only put 2 hours worth in the parking meters on the road so it would be easy to run past that.
Its one thing clamping on busy streets where traffic is severly disrupted but when you see the c***ts trawling back streets its annoying. I work near john rogerson quay ( in the middle of very quite streets) and you can see them hiding around corners waiting for people. They are not as bad as the viiligante clampers you see in private carparks though!

When you get chips in Supermacs and you ask for vinegar and they give you one sachet - enough to wet a couple of chips. You usually have to ask about 3 times to get enough. I need 3 to 4 sachets for a large chip and 5 or 6 for a snackbox. The overseas staff are the worst for this vinegar pinching.

Cyclists not wearing helmets. So irresponsible imo.

Also, a yearly bugbear of mine, adults wearing Santa Hats while out.

Actually numerous studies have shown that wearing a helmet increases the risk of an accident as it promotes a false sense of security, much like cycle lanes.

It's not just that, but studies have consistently shown that motorists give much less room to cyclists wearing a helmet, and the statistics would support the claim that as a percentage more helmeted cyclists than unhelmeted are involved in accidents.

Should one come off the bike, of course, the unhelmeted have a much greater chance of a head-injury, though a much lower chance of being involved in an accident in the first place.

ach slid in ice, knee got a bang. I dont know what's wrong with it, swollen up - only relief is to lie with it stretched out on the bed. shocking painful to bend, if I get it bent, severe pain getting it straightened out again!

The result - a queue of about 100 people that takes about 40mins to get through.

I HATE shopping...

Started shopping for the wife tonight in Sprucefield at 7.45pm. Finished at 8.05pm. That's how you feckin do it.

On topic, what's this feckin +1 or +2 reply phenomenon that's sweeping the Gaaboard? I'n not happy with it.

Not always I agree with you O'Neill but totally on this one. If it is supposed to be hip, it fails miserably.
+2 but thinks O'Neill is just grumpy from the drink horrors.

+3 but thinks O'Neill just hates maths.

The description of clothes on the Debenhams website. Seen this shite whilst looking at a coat... A coat for wearing on the go, as opposed to wearing whilst lying in bed. It also comes with two pockets which, in case you aren't sure, you can use to keep your hands warm or even store things in! f**k off Debenhams.

This grey Jeff Banks car coat is made with a wonderfully warm wool blended with cashmere for ultra comfort and softness. The coat features a stylish funnel neck complete with ribbed inner collar for extra insulation. The coat is designed in a tasteful clean lined contemporary style ideal for wearing on the go. Two deep pockets offer hand warmth and simple storage whilst the wind guard covered zip fastening down the front gives added protection.

What is a car coat? Can it be worn outside the car? It sounds like something Alan Partridge would wearing behind the wheel of his Rover.

That puke with the drum, the other sickener with the long curly hair and the stupid jacket with the badges on it need shot. I hate the way the TV cameras cut to them as if their some sort of characters (BBC are the worst) that we are all interested in. I never watch any games with Portsmouth playing in now because of those pair of c*nts.

Hope Portsmouth go bust, they'll not be fond of their drum and that poxy jacket then; sickening fcukers the pair of them.

been out shopping with the house mate *pauses to take ten deep breaths*
*beats the life out of a pillow* 
*ten more deep breaths*
*eats some mini eggs*
but I'm not going to complain about that.

My complaint is against the "men" who help their women pick clothes! Have yous seen these tubes?! Admittedly I think it's more of an English thing but I'm walking around after herself through the women's clothes with a face on me (apparently) looking at my watch or playing the phone saying everything is lovely and agreeing that the sizes are all wrong and there's no way that's a size 14 and then you've got these idiots who are helping!!! They're helping to get the right size, advising on colours and all other nonsense!!
WHAT IS THEIR STORY?

When I take one yawn too many and our inevitable row happens I always get it threw at me "I see other men helping their wives and girlfirends".  ffs

Here's how it works.

You can say 'no it doesn't suit you' only twice before you say 'yes that's definitely the one' and then you're off home/pub. However you need to be very observant.

At the start say nothing.
When you have wasted a good hour or so then throw in the two 'no it doesn't suit you' lines no matter what the fcuk she is looking at.
Then bring her back to something you saw her look at earlier and pronounce loudly 'yes that's definitely the one'. It is important that all round you hear this.
This has to be right though (otherwise you are completely fcuked) so it helps if you know she has already looked at it and liked it (even better if a friend of hers mentions she saw it on a previous shopping waste of time trip), so pay attention.
If she remotely likes the whatever the fcuk it is, she will happily buy it and will also be happy that her wonderful partner picked it. She will feel even better that her fella showed up the other sad saps who potter around after their women looking like Brian Cowen after sharing a bed with Jackie Healy Rae.   

If done correctly this can seriously reduce time wasted on shopping and get brownie points.

I hate shopping. I have never shopped with the wife for her clothes. Now granted I am not the most patient man but somewhere along the line the wife obviously said to herself "self dont bring him shopping its not worth it" Deal with it early on and you will never have trouble, accommodate the whole shopping concept at the start and you are fucked.
Edit: Women love shopping, its a hobby, I love golf, its a hobby, I dont ask the wife to come golfing, she doesnt ask me to come shopping, why ruin your hobbies.

Almost every time we go shopping I get promised she's never "asking" me again. And it's not that I go shopping with her for her clothes, I just agree or suggest to go out for a walk to the shops (we live very close) and warn I ain't going around women's clothes shops but it turns out that a hour later I'm standing outside female changing rooms, hands ripped off me with bags, possibily holding a handbag, in the dog house with all these other bastards showing me up!

We are married. All money is pooled so I suppose she does. It's more to do with the fact she loves shopping, she gets a buzz out of it. I love golf she would have no time for it. Why would I try and make her do something she doesn't like. Why would she try and make me do something I don't like. Don't get me wrong we often go shopping for the kids clothes but that's easy. It's something that has to be done it's different from a women bringing you clothes shopping for her. When I lived in the uk my sister came over to see me, we spent the entire day shopping on Oxford circus. What did she buy? A bottle of shampoo. She had a great day. I did not

When you're driving along at a decent speed and you leave a decent gap between yourself and the boyo in front of you....

then some p***k passes you out and jumps into that gap -  so you have to slow down again in case he taps the brakes at all you're into his back seat..

What you're saying is nobody should overtake you? I mean, where do you expect him to go when he overtakes you?

Nope that's not it, I mean when a fella makes a mad bust to overtake all in front of him then mid way through decides to jump into of you... into the space I left to make the car in front of me a safe distance ahead

You're supposed to leave enough space so that anyone overtaking can get back in. Whenever someone does pull in to that space, then yes, you are supposed to have to slow down a bit to leave the space again. Its not that hard!

On a related note (although you dont sound like one of these tools) geargrinders;  those who sit tight behind other vehicles, but have no intention of passing - i.e. there isnt enough room to get in between the two, and usually it isn't safe to overtake the two vehicles at once.

People arriving over an hour late for work without an apology or explanation.

Two dolls at work decided yesterday that they would walk in this morning. they arrive over an hour late thinking they are great for spending an hour walking in. The knew yesterday they were going to walk yet they intentionally left home only 5mins before starting time. They thought the fact that they walked justified them being late. No attempt to let us know they were late and no apology to their colleagues.

They then claimed it was too cold to stay and should be let home. I took the temp on one girl's desk and it was 15.5. She said that if it's under 16 she should be allowed home. I said I would put could move the probe closer to the heater to get whatever temp i want. She shut up.

That sort of bullshit justification grinds my gears >:( >:(

People always want that extra inch - when the reality is we should all be fecking lucky to be in work at the minute.

When it was taking us an hour to get to work instead of 10 minutes because of the roads before christmas - we left an hour fecking earlier.


Id never dream of telling my boss that I should be sent home on some technicality, first because its wrong - but secondly, you can guarandamntee that when the next round of layoffs comes around, that kind of attitude wouldnt be forgotten.

No I have not. 

But people are capable of anything.  Boy I work with (think I mentioned it before here) kept blocking up the toilets because he was using leaflets and paper as toilet roll.  It was eventually found out who was doing it and he was asked to stop! He stopped for about a month and then he done it again! and had to be asked again to stop!

The feckers were about to knock my son out to operate on him with another kids file with the same name...WTF And then then i alert them that they have the wrong file it takes them 3 hours to find the right one by which time that hoor of a Surgeon says "Sorry you've missed your slot, come back some other day"

When I was younger, I had an operation on my neck to strengthen it. I had bone grafted from my leg to my neck. As a result, I had to wear a mental "halo", which it screwed into my skull. This was so I couldn't turn my head for 5 months. Had this done in London.

Anyway, back to my point. Once I arrived back in Belfast, one of the doctors wanted to tighten the screws. He accidentially loosen it and went to screw it back. However when he was screwing it back in, it went in at a different angle. I was awake for this. Pain... never known anything like it.

I was about 3/4 - and tripped over a toy in the living room. Took to the A&E - and got X-rayed. They mixed the X-Rays up and told me mam there was nothing wrong with me - so we went home.

I couldn't walk and was crawling round the floor. My mam thought I was being lazy and gave me a few slaps. Kept going for the next few days until I was brought in again. And they finaly figured out they messes up. I'd had both bones broken in my lower leg  :(

How the likes of Sharon Shannon get nominated for both the Best Trad act and Best Folk Act at the Meteor Awards, both awards are decided by a panel and not a public vote, thus ensuring the bould Sharon will lift the awards.

Outragious illdecide. Bound to be someone you can go to, to report that surgeon.

they offered me a complaint form alright and one of the nurses said it was a disgrace but i think ill wait till he gets his operation and then see what action i can take. This is the 2nd time the Royal Vic have rid me. A year ago young illdecide had an infected hair follicle in the back of his neck, after a 6 month old baby had fasted for almost 20 hours and waiting in the ward for best part of a day the Surgeon came to me and said "I've been working all day and I'm really tired, you wouldn't want a tired doctor operating on your son now, would you?"

WTF is that all about...

:o I can only imagine how tough that was! Sounds like really shoddy treatment all round.

The thing that annoys me more is that we are all working for these ones to sit around in their PJ's til 6pm. We are paying for the houses they live in and paying for their leisure time just because they decide to have kids and claim everything that is going (sweeping generalisation I know)

But I am fed up to the back teeth of working to pay the mortage/ bills etc when it seems that we would all be better off going off on the sick/ dole and claiming every benefit going.

Pretty much par for the course in the Summerhill part of the city and slowly spreading to the suburbs.
Remember reading that this is a new urban phenomenon in the developed world and sociologists and others are trying to rationalize it. One theory is that it is a result of multi generational unemployment.

Should try having my mother - I could go to the shower now and come out to 6 or 7 missed calls and 3 voicemail messages - each one of them requesting a call back with an urgency that suggests someone has died.  And she would have tried the house phone 6 or 7 times as well!


I was going to work one morning and went in to sainsburys and there was a man in front of me in the queue in his pyjamas and there was a big rip down one leg, there wasn't much left to the imagination.  I was wondering what he could possibly need so urgently at 8 O'Clock in the morning that he had to run out to the shop in his pyjamas, the answer, lotto tickets.

No one is winding anyone up. Its just a statement of fact, if you let yourself go a bit and your immune system is down, you go to your pit shitfaced wearing the same make up that was trowelled on half a day before then you are quite likely to get spots or coldsores. Thats all.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Once you're infected with the virus you have it for life. Cold sores that appear periodically are the outward manifestation of the infection.

I remember hearing that most people who are infected get it as babies or small children from being kissed by old ladies or from direct contact with other kids who have cold sores. So I looked it up and got the quote above from http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/health/fever-blister/fever-canker.html (http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/health/fever-blister/fever-canker.html)

I was watching the news and then there was long segment at the end about farmers. Fair enough, but the report was rubbish.

It was basically some young reporter, Aideen Kennedy, spending a day on the farm with some comedic moments (yeah right).

That's not news. When I tune into the news, I want to watch the news, not some daytime tv fluff nonsense!! That kinda rubbish belongs on The Afternoon Show on RTE or The One Show on the BBC.

You get your car washed . You drive down a side road only to find that tractors have been there before you and have left their muck and dirt all over the road for you to collect on your shiny wheels and doors

.Has to be some law against leaving public roads like a muck heap

( and I'll not talk about having to stand behind a smelly farmer in a bank queue.)

Post by: take_yer_points on January 25, 2010, 09:21:56 AM
This is not my gear grinder but a QPR fan on the Football 365 pages - I think football grinds his gears!

"I take more pleasure in seeing Chelsea lose than I do in seeing QPR win at the moment.

I sat through so many matches when we were absolute dogs**t under the likes of Ray Harford and with people like Paul Bruce, Matthew Brazier and Mark Perry in the squad and I never felt like this.

The club isn't ours anymore but more than that - football is just properly gash these days.

I mean really gash.

I hate football generally.

I hate nearly everything about it these days....

I hate the Prem and the myth that it is exciting this year. Man City breaking into the top four isn't exciting. They spent loads of money. It's no more exciting that Nameless C*** getting to number 1 in the charts after winning the X-Factor.

I hate the myth of Arsene's kids. Buying some French kid when he's 17, playing him in the League Cup and then selling him when he's 20 after about 3 appearances in the league is NOTHING SPECIAL.

I hate hearing about Liverpool/Man Utd's debt but nothing ever happening about it. A club needs to go to the wall for the money thing to change but it doesn't happen. Why the **** are Charlton, Leeds and Southampton still in business?

I hate Frank Lampard's stupid f'ing face. I hate that Joe Cole's tongue is never in his mouth, the downsy spacker. I hate John Terry being England captain when he's CLEARLY AN OAF.

I hate the England team.

I hate young exciting wingers who have nothing but pace. Tony Scully had nothing but pace.

I hate the FA Cup. There may be little shocks like last night but for the most part you know who's going to win it. Unless a team throws away all their financial security to win it a la Pompey.

I hate Harry f'ing Redknapp. And Jamie Redknapp. And Louise Redknapp. And the Wii.

I hate James Nesbitt, Eammon Holmes and f***ing everyone.

I hate Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

I hate Garth Crooks.

I hate Garth Brooks for that matter.

I hate Sky Sports.

I hate that when a lower league player beats 10 players and chips the keeper it doesn't matter but if Rooney scores from more than 20 yards it's amazing.

I hate that everything football related has to have 'Club Foot' playing behind it.

I hate that female sports journos are now mandatory.

I hate Mark Lawrensen for not coming out. 'I do like a big man at the back'. I bet you do.

I hate any advert that portrays football to be about anything other than pain and disappointment.

I hate any advert that mentions pies at football.

I hate Lee Hughes and the fact that he makes a living from the game. I hate Marlon King and any team that signs him when he gets out. I hate that it'll probably be us.

I hate Phil Brown.

I hate 'well the ball is a lot lighter now and will cause goalkeepers real problems this summer' before EVERY F'ING TOURNAMENT.

I hate that Kieron Dyer earned more in the time I took to write this post than I'll earn this month.

I hate Adrian Durham, Ian Wright and Alan Brazil.

I hate Gazza. Either die or shut up. Stop f'ing lingering.

I hate hearing about Hillsborough more than I hear about Heysel or Bradford.

I hate that a comeback from 4-0 down at half time (TWICE) means nothing because we aren't f'ing scouse.

I hate Leeds.

I hate Roy Keane.

I hate grown men wearing football shirts of their team whilst shopping on a Saturday when their team is playing at home.

I hate that I don't hate Roy Hodgson.

I hate Jermaine Beckford and any player who has neck tattoos.

I hate songs being inappropriately taken as club anthems and then sung in a manly way. 'I'm forever blowing bubbles....'. Gaylords.

I hate Danny Dyer and anyone he's ever interviewed.

I hate the book 'Cass' by Cass Pennant. It is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever read. Chapter 1: Millwall. 'Yeah we took 50 to Millwall. They had 1000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Chapter 2: Liverpool. 'Yeah we took 50 to Liverpool. They had 2000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Fk me... Jade Goody's autobiography is probably better. Even her non-ghost written one.

I hate that all good youngsters end their careers at Spurs before they start."

Tesco ban on shoppers in pyjamas 

A Tesco store has asked customers not to shop in their pyjamas or barefoot.

Notices have been put up in the chain's supermarket in St Mellons in Cardiff saying: "Footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted."

A spokesman said Tesco did not have a strict dress code but it does not want people shopping in their nightwear in case it offends other customers.

He said he was not aware of any other Tesco stores having to put up similar signs.

The signs, placed at the entrance to the store, read: "To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted)."

The spokesman said: "We're not a nightclub with a strict dress code, and jeans and trainers are of course more than welcome.

"We do, however, request that customers do not shop in their PJs or nightgowns.

"This is to avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others."

That's excellent  ;D

All they have to do now is to stop their staff asking stupid questions like "do you want a bag" when you land to the counter with a basket of shopping

Some p***k did the same to the bird. Followed her all for bout 10K even in to our housing estate. When she pulled in outside my house he got out of the car an give her a lecture about something she is supposed to have done wrong (she might have but that's besdie the point). I seen them across the street and went to see what was going on, when he saw me he promptly returned to his car (I'm no big man) and fled. She was terrified of this stranger who tailed her for 10K and then got out and came up to here window. What a p***k. He wouldn't have done it if a bloke was driving. p***k!

ah yes, the old stage fright problem!

I'll correct that, they are as f**king useless as BT!
got the broadband and the phone with them, someone called with me the other day to see was I interested in getting it switched over the cable which is coming in to the area in March, aye says I. Next thing phone not working (broadband working fine).  Called them last night, passed around about 3 or 4 idiots before someone was able to tell me why my phone wasn't working, because there was working pending and they disconnected the phone.  So I'm interested in getting cable installed next month, it means I don't want a phone any longer, makes perfect sense! I told them to get it put back one and to forget about the cable if it's going to be so much trouble. Fine, It'll be back on in 30 minutes.  Of course it wasn't.
Rang again this morning, same story, passed around different people again until I lost the head and was put through to someone who seemed to know what he was on about. They can't find my telephone number in their system now though so he had me go off to do all this shite to test the line. Of course none of that worked.  Called again (about 15 quid spent in the mobile at this stage) - another boy wanted me to go off and try something else with the phone, I told him to hold the line while I done it! Of course it didn't work.  Now I'm waiting on engineers to test the line and call me back, I'll probably end up having to call them again though - and we all know what's coming (is anyone still reading?) - I'll have to take a day off work and sit in the house while they send someone out to fix it.  All because they disconnected it for no apparent reason!
How the f**k can the broadband be working fine and the phone not!

That doesnt bother me, you're only talking about a couple of quit - it's the 15 quid or so I've spent in a mobile ringing them, holding and being passed around everyone in their call center and if I have to take a day off for someone to come out I will lose it. 
Still waiting on the them to call me back when they test the line...I suppose I'll have to ring them and that'll be another fiver...

I don't actually know.. ya hear ya don't know how you would react in that situation until it happens.. I always reckoned I would hand out everything in the drawer but when it came to it I think I was too shocked to comprehend it was really happening (am in this job 5 years and I've never gotten robbed) that I actually said "no" when he shouted at me to give him the money (feckin eejit I am I know).. he lunged knife in at me and I told the cashier to run into kitchen and got up and walked in there myself (calm as bejaysus)... I think I was just blessed he didn't try and get in.... But pisses me off people telling me now that it wasnt a big deal and I didnt really get robbed


... also I am here thinkin now maybe its cos it was a knife not a gun that it wasnt as bad.. think yer story must have been awful.. but knife was still scary (not at time but afterward moreso)

Is it legal to sell products past their 'best before' date?

Shops are allowed to sell food after its 'best before' date has passed. 'best before' dates are concerned with quality rather than safety, so it doesn't mean that the food is dangerous if the 'best before' date has passed. However, if you buy food after the date, remember that it might no longer be at its best.

'Use by' dates are different to 'best before' dates and it is against the law to sell any food that has passed its 'use by' date. Using it after this date could put your health at risk.

In all cases, whether or not the 'best before' date has expired, the law says that food sold must not put people's health at risk and must not be falsely or misleadingly described or presented.

Going out for a quiet drink and coming home with a fat lip.

you talking when you should have been listening? or some ignorant gimp bump into you?

Some girl wrapped her legs around my head and fell. I fell too and smacked my face off the floor.
I take it was the fall rather than wearing some doll as a scarf that is the gear grinder?!

Drivers waiting at a junction, who see you coming (with noone behind you), and wait til you get close to them then drive out in front of you so you have to stand on the breaks. Then they drive at 30mph on a main road with no opportunities to pass.   >:(
No wonder theres road rage!

Is it legal to sell products past their 'best before' date?

Shops are allowed to sell food after its 'best before' date has passed. 'best before' dates are concerned with quality rather than safety, so it doesn't mean that the food is dangerous if the 'best before' date has passed. However, if you buy food after the date, remember that it might no longer be at its best.

'Use by' dates are different to 'best before' dates and it is against the law to sell any food that has passed its 'use by' date. Using it after this date could put your health at risk.

In all cases, whether or not the 'best before' date has expired, the law says that food sold must not put people's health at risk and must not be falsely or misleadingly described or presented.

Aye,
   but how are you meant to know that they're past that date stuck in a feckin machine and they weren't at a knock down price either.

Sneaky f**kers..

Yes, it is a girl, but none of the above. Ziggy was performing well above his average last night and for once, he wasn't even trying. So good was I, she came looking for me due to my reputation.

I know that its the Grab All Associations as a number of loyal Tipp & Kilkenny fans can truely testify to!! On a smaller but related issue.

Louth County Board having the neck to charge €3 for a programme that is pure Sh**e!! Bad enough to do it for the U21 match, but same again the next day at the O Byrne Cup final and that programme didn't even contain the names of the DCU team!! They were added in later on a seperate sheet.

Now that grinds my gears! You spend €10 to stand on a grassy knoll and support your county, thats all fine, but if the programme is going to be to the standards that it was, then either charge €1 for them, or even give them out for free!!

Massive discrepancies in the standard of programmes across the country, yet they're almost always the same price, which seems to suggest the prices are set by the body running the competition rather than the people actually producing the programme. If a county can't be arsed produce a decent effort they should charge a minimal amount, a Euro or whatever; and if another county wants to go all out then they should be allowed to charge what they see fit. 

Armagh - Meath league game in Navan - 16 pages long - €3.
Down - Meath league game in Newry - 64 pages long - €3.

No sense there at all.

Post by: haranguerer on February 24, 2010, 03:17:09 PM
Highly unlikely that theres a body setting a standard price of programmes...

Much more likely that co boards are just rattling programmes out and charging as much as they think they possibly can, probably establishing this by checking the prices being asked for programmes at other grounds and going with the highest one, regardless of differences in quality.

secondly
road closures and diversions..... 1 hr 5 mins it took me to get to dung-annon!

thirdly
spending hours/days on preparing a class for an observation that is only going to last 40mins....

and lastly
the traffic lights outside the main gates at queens... flashes amber while green man is still up but drivers ignore this... (think this may be the way i am suppose to go)

And the weirdness is is it's international - in the last week I've heard it from an English person on the BBC and an American and various Irish on RTE. The fact is is it's very odd.

I was out tonight with my mates that I knew from school. Catching up and all that.

One of the girls I had a notion on came in and sat beside me. Later on, the other girl I have a notion on came in and sat on the other side of me.

I was kind of at lost what to do, who to talk to and who to work my magic on.

My mates were laughing though, they saw me sweating.

Fckn hate that, especialy if you are going through a dry patch and don't think you have much chance with either of them. Then they go and both start chatting you up and you have to play friendly to keep your options open but do nothing in case you choose one and she was only having the craic and the other one is being serious, so ya balls it up and firmly confirm friends status with both.

That's a bastard of a situation Ziggy.

FFS, what a c0ck up to make.

I still hate that cnut Snodden as well


Can't have him at all, she's just daft.

Those new automated telephone systems. Instead of keying in a number, you speak after the beep and it re-directs you. Damn thing doesn't recognise the West Tyrone accent. Around in circles for ages, until the system finally give up and put me through to the switchboard. He was Indian, so he couldn't under me either.

I f**king hate the yapping and whinging that comes from the public sector workers these days.  I had a mate whio worked in the civil service and for the first 2 years of his employment he freely admitted that he did nothing.  They used to have 3 people in the office so one stayed and did whatever needed to be done and the other 2 took 3-4 hour lunch breaks or went home early.  It pisses me off that the whack of money that comes off my bottom line every month goes to paying these f**kers wages.  Now they have the cheek to strike! Aaaahh!

Used to like him, but have turned the corner, mainly due to his smugness. Turning point was when he was in the background of a Boris Becker inteview at a GP, taking the piss - was seriously bad manners, and not at all funny.

The only reason hes funny is because hes fat, and considering the war on obesity currently being waged, not a great emblem for GB to adopt...

People who say something racist and then immediatley try to explain it differently to prove that's not their opinion. I'd prefer they stick to their original spake (as they say in Lurgan)

Er, if you had to EAT a Yop instead of drinking it, that would suggest to me that it was out of date!

Miserable bastards who stand in the shop and read every page of the paper and then go on and get whatever else they came in for.  I was getting diesel this morning and I watched this guy go in, stand at the back of the shop and pick up the Mirror I think.  Literally read through every page and was still looking at it by the time I had left the shop.  If I was the shop owner, I'd be telling him to either buy it or jog on...miserable twat... >:(

No disrespect Screen Machine, but I think you have personal issues here. That man has no impact on your life or shouldn't have. I suggest you are unhappy with some aspect inside yourself and are trying to find faults in others to compensate for this. I think you should just smile and shake your head at the audacity of others to behave like that. If he was holding you up, maybe, but I suggest you look inside yourself and see who's there. I mean no disrespect.

Its simple. Put the card in, put in pin number and withdraw required amount of cash. Why is it that women have to do 4 different transactions, taking the card out each time instead of using the "would you like another transaction" option, and then insist on a reciept for everything. Do they not realise that the guy waiting behind has a pub to get to or a bet to get on. FFS.

The annoying thing with women is they take ages to get stuff outta their handbag....... Approach counter/atm. Pause. Open handbag. Search for 30 seconds. Talk to yourself. Continue searching. Eventually find purse. Open purse. Another search. Find cash/card/whatever. Pay. Put change in purse. Close purse. Put purse in bag. Close bag. THEN turn away from the counter. Melters. With me its throw the money at the assistant, put change in pocket whilst walking out the door.

I did exactly the same thing. I had also put my watch an hour ahead but not the clock so I had three different times to choose from which would be great fun if I was debating closing time but as I was working this morning it was interesting for a while.

Worse again is when they call him by his name and knickname for example Ger Canning & Marty called Cha Fitzpatrick, James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick all the time.

Either call him James Fitzpatrick or Cha Fitzpatrick, not James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick.

Pumping up bicycle tyres. More air getting out than going in. Any advice Pints?
I dont think I'm an expert but my thinking would be you have a puncture!
One of my pedals started squeaking this morning, about 8 miles today and all I can hear is this f**king squeaking - I can still hear it!

I find hand pumps real awkward things - so I'm gonna buy a foot pump, or fut pump if you're from Newry/Dundalk/Monaghan

That's your answer right there Pints.... are your doing the same thing all the time,(route, pace) etc?... need to alter it and change it up, your body has gotten used to what it is your doing, Plateau effect if you like ;)

Getting battered by a female work colleague from Monaghan.

The girls at work were talking about how hard their grannies had it back-in-day. Housework all day and having to have the dinner ready from when their man was back from a hard day's work. Not only were they expected to do all that, but expected to pop out a string of babies and rear them.

They also said that the men didn't appreciate their wives and were alcoholics anyway.

I meerly said they were the good old days and women knew their place!

Well, I got a sever battering after that. Wile a man can't even express an opinion anymore!

Its the only way to get the right kind of pressure into the tyres. Hand pumps are only really for if you had to fix a puncture while out. You can get these in Halfords for about £12, look for the one with the double valve, i.e it will blow up car type valve or the narrow presta type valve.

The LIE that Slieve League (601 metres) in Donegal are the Highest Sea Cliffs in Ireland and Europe, they are NOT, Croaghaun (668 metres) on Achill Island in COUNTY MAYO are the Highest Sea Cliffs in Ireland and the European Union (Not Europe).

Ya saw similar thing in the Galway Hooker bar (is it still there) in Heuston Station a few years back, was on the way back to Mayo from Waterford and had to wait for my connection train. The All-Ireland Final was on and Galway had been playing in the minor game, but due to the fact the special train put on by I.E. for the Galway fans left just after the senior game without leaving time for the Galway fans to get back to Heuston the bar was thronged with Galway fans (who left at half time in the Senior game) + the rest of us GAA fans + other passers by watching the senior final. When the senior game ended everyone was waiting to see Liam be handed over when the barman switched over to some obscure League 2 (Old division 4) soccer match. The bar moaned and groaned and shouted for him to turn it back, he wouldn't until one wise old snipe in a Supermacs jersey said that it was only half time, the third quarter was about to start. The stupid soccerhead believed him and turned the "stickball" (his words)  >:( back on.

Getting old.

On Monday I had to go into Omagh to get something I needed. The shop didn't have it in stock, but it was coming in the following day. (Tuesday).

So today, during lunch, I went back into Omagh to get it. However, once I got to the town

a) I couldn't remember what shop it was
b) I couldn't remember who I was talking to in the shop
c) I couldn't remember the important thing I needed, that I asked to be kept for me

I wandered about the town for 40mins, retracing my steps. Still couldn't remember.

I hate getting old.

Had everything organised to collect my new car today ie insurance etc and just found out the dealership won't have it till Wednesday >:(

Probably just needs a little extra time to clock it.

From what? 1km back to 0km.... It's a new car Ziggy!


Bet you the price of it is doesnt have either 0 or 1 km on the clock!

Yeah true, but it will hardly have any more than 5 or 10km...!

I would be mighty pised  if i was buying a new car and it had any more than 100 miles on the clock I wouldn't say it was new.

Ifi t had 5 to 10K on it I'd think I was buying a demonstrator model and hammer the price down.

It's a cabinet thing for the kitchen - it would have been fine but there's a wine rack thing on the bottom and you had to hold both sides of it, and lump of wood in the middle and about 6 slot things and a slide out shelf thing! in place while the side of the cabinet was screwed on to hold it all.

We had a couple over last night for dinner and they never shut up about their f**king dog,they were going on about what the Dog was thinking and what was in his mind and how he gets depressed when they leave him for a day,I felt like telling them to shut the f**k up,how I bit my tongue for so long is a minor miracle .

The GF asked them to stay the night so we could all go down to the pub and have a few drinks after dinner,but they couldn't because they had to get back home to put the dog to bed...like in all seriousness  WTF  ???

Granted I'm not much of a animal person but this was just way OTT,are any of ye who have animals as pets like this?
Does owning a animal make you into a crazy person like these people?
Or is just normal behavior among the pet owning population?

Just sound like responsible animal owners to me.

Was your woman interested in what they were saying, she's a vet isn't she? Any vet I know are animal lovers and would behave like those people.

My woman is a Vet yes,and obviously loves animals,though we don't have any.
She thought they were a little mad too though.
I would shoot her if she ever started talking crazy shit like this couple last night though,they were demented.

I know exactly what you mean leenie. Only with me, it's blue pens.

What do yous be writing with these archaic pen devices?
Fella wanted me to fill in an application form the other day, I started it with a pen and just couldn't bring myself to do it, my hands no longer had the necessary motor skills to write in the wee boxes and it seemed like a awful hassle. Ended up making it into a fillable PDF, which was probably more hassle but seemed logical to me.

Agreed. And is there anything more annoying than these souvenir shops that sell paddywhackery - leprechauns and postcards of donkeys and Daniel O'Donnell CDs - that have speakers outside drowning the whole street in Country'n'Irish shite. Why can't we close these hoors down?

a lot of shops do that here too - quite a few would have people standing out on the street holding up an advertisement as well - would someone explain to me the point in that? Paying someone to stand outside all day holding a sign? Could they not put the sign up somewhere?

+1

Or when you go to open the yogurt, the lid doesn't seem to want to come off so you apply more force, so that when you do open it the yogurt splashes all over you.

Maybe this is the thread for this ...

When NASA started sending astronauts into space, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity , upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degC. The Russians used a pencil.  Taxes, don't you love em?  ;D

Small pieces of pencil lead breaking off in zero gravity and getting caught in onboard equipment was too big a risk, so the russians  like the americans used a pen instead

2 of my friends have it bad. My woman's is mild but her brother is ket with the hayfever altogether. I really really feel for people who have it, not being able to enjoy summer in its full capacity must be really hard. Tears comin from my womans brothers eyes, all swell up and all, really felt for him. Rememember years ago too, we all used to watch the silage when we were wee bucks, and some of the boys couldnt even come in the feild. Hateful hateful thing it must be.

For the Northern hayfever sufferers, did you know you can go in to a pharmacy under some community health thing where the pharmacist "prescribes" instead of bothering the doctor, and they can prescribe antihistimenes (or however that word is spelt) and you get them free? 

Now I don't know if all pharmacies do it, but my friend runs a shop in Belfast and told me to come in cause she can do it.

Saves spending a fortune on Clarityn (or my favourite, Beconase).

I used to be absolutely shocking with it, seem to be one of the few who finds it less troublesome as the years go on.

Do ya know when your textin on the iPhone, does it ever happen to anyone else that sometimes the phone will put in a full stop after a word and won't let you use the space bar? So you have to start a new sentence whether you want to or not...
It only happens in normal mode and not in landscape mode.

Yea noticed that. Happened if the word has been completed right at the end of the text bar. Just type the next word with no space between them and edit in the space later before the 2nd word (rather than after the 1st one which is what causes the problem). Seems a lot of effort though.

Edit: just noticed your solution (landscape) which is a lot easier.

Use to share a room with the brother when we lived at home and holy f**k he could be heard snoring all over the house. There's nothing worse.

You know you can get a mouth spray from the chemist that's meant to be good for snoring.


Have something in my f**king eye all day and I cant get it out!

Know that feeling also.  The brother could rise the dead the way he goes on and no amount of kicking stops him.

Glee is also wrecking my head.  Destroying songs and the sisters have the remote so can't get it off

But i think theres something underlying cos hes sounding ridiculous all night with the heavy breathing and snoring - and constantly tired all day every day lately and sweating severely at night in bed and never well slept when he wakes. The snoring has only started in the past 6 months or so

Get it checked out. Night sweats are a symptom of some fairly serious conditions. Although it has been warm at night this past month so to be expected.

Alcohol, coffee, tea etc. drank before sleeping can affect ones sleeping patterns. A window left ever so slightly open can help, problem is then the room is often too cold for the woman to sleep.

Women... again!

They were all talking about David Beckham today. About how fit he is and what they'd want to do to him. I happened to comment that I said was coming out with some of the things they were, about women, I'd get a slap from then.

Suddenly they all turned to me and said I've a free rein for 5 mins. Who do I want and what would I do. I blushed, got tongue tied and started muttering rubbish.

The gleering and mocking I got after that was relentless.

Feckin' women.

Thankfully that doesn't happen too often, it's a nightmare though. The sense of achievement you feel after successfully making it to the toilet, almost being beat by the creak of the door, just to realise you can't finish the job.

Depends on the age of the child and the parents work situation.  Amazingly in this day and age both parents work, are you worried about lack of exercise, should the parent in charge get up an hour early and walk their kid to school or put a 4 year old on a bus and say byeeeeeee - have you kids, do they attend school?

Exactly - advocating physical abuse of toddlers should be frowned upon without exception, children learn from those around them, no toddler should be punished for the failings of their guardians.

Does any of that stop them learning the rules of the road?
Most of them think because they have kids they can park where ever they want outside the school and basically just abandon their car anywhere, then when the likes of me blow them out of it they give you a look of disgust because they feel they are immune to all rules or even simple manners by maybe indicating because they can't have their little precious walk 20 extra yards to the school
by parking in all the empty spaces down the road from the school I pass every morning ::) no instead they all have to park right at the school gate because God forbid little Oisin might get wet by a drop of rain by having to walk a little extra distance

By the way most schools don't allow cars into it, unless you are a member of staff, even buses aren't allowed in, probably because no school could cope with that amount of traffic and also for health and safety reasons for the children, so where would you want the parents to park to collect their kids?

I was always told that if you suffer from hayfever the best thing you can do is to get some local honey - has to be local made mind, and take a spoonful of it every day for 6 weeks. Its got something to do with your local bees picking up the pollen that is causing you to suffer from hayfever.  You take a little dose of it every day and your body eventually builds immunity to it.

It won't help straight away, but if it helps in the long run then its worth a shot!

This is also going to sound weird, but if you put a little bit of vaseline inside the nostrils, it acts as a barrier and can stop the pollen getting through.  Should reduce some of the symptoms!

Hayfever, eyes and nose streaming like f**k,

have tried all these so called recommended brands, any ideas or which is the best

Beconase nasal spray always does the business for me.  At least it's going straight into the nose and head instead of swallowing a tablet that goes down into your stomach to be broken down first.  Though when you use it, you get a taste of flowers in the back of your mouth, like eating perfume.

Bet you don't use your indicators either? 
from what I see most people don't use indicators.

Especially mothers dropping their little precious off to school..
Pulling into a space or pulling out of one or sometimes even when they just abandon the car right in the middle of the road,not a sign of a indicator from any of them..
I don't know what ever happened to walking your kid to school,or put them on a bus even.

From what i can see, mothers dropping kids off to school- they are all driving people carriers.  It must be an unwritten law that if you have 2 or more children you need a people carrier or else a big f**k off jeep/landrover.

Dunno how the 6 of us used to do in our vauxhall estate....

Yes, sneezing 20 times in a row or sniffle the same snot up the nose 100 times a day is more annoying for the person than the witness.

Because now that would be against the law. 

As someone who does the school run everyday with 3 kids I can sympathize with people who are complaining about the drop off mums in the big cars but trust me its hardly that big of a deal.  I pull up and let them run out if there is no other traffic but if there is traffic I pull in and let them walk up.  It is a country school and I know city schools are worse but when you have the schools refusing to let you onto the school grounds, and overall increased usage(and abuse) of the road by many drivers and a very poor system to protect kids on the street if you want them to walk, (coupled with crazed electricians in their white vans trying to ram you off the road :P) the fear for your children can outweigh consideration for others.  I don't necessarily agree with it but, hey, shit happens.

I work in a school with a big carpark for parents to drop off their little darlings, all grammar school age. But do they use it , NO, they don't.  They drive right up to reception to let the kids out, blocking the drives to the staff carparks.  Johnny and Mary are teenagers, if they can't walk the 50 yards from the carpark god help them when they are 60yrs old.

I've been getting back pain out of the blue for years. Hardly able to move for a couple of days, then it goes away again. Then a few months ago, someone showed me a stretching exercise that works wonders. It gives immediate relief from the pain and inability to move and even if/when the pain comes back, a few of these stretches and it's gone again.

Of course whether it'll work or not depends on the source of the pain, but it might be worth a try. I'm not sure how well this description will work, but get down on your hands and knees, not in a square posture, but with arms a bit out in front and legs a bit out at the back - i.e. not like this: Π, like this: /¯\. Arch up your back as much as you can and keeping it arched, bring your arse back onto your heels and your head down between your arms touching your forehead to the floor. Your hands stay put, but at the end your arms should be stretched out in front of you. You should feel the muscles at the base of your back stretched. Repeat a few times.

I presume any exercise that stretches the back muscles (you can find loads of them) will work as well; that's just the one I use.

If you're not serious that's a really good wind up, get me down on the ground to do that. 
This is the same as yours, started a couple of months ago, I feel a twinge in my lower left side of the back and within 5 minutes I'm crippled. Felt it yesterday morning after I got up, not doing anything major, crippled now and I could be fine in five minutes, I can't bend my back and nothing eases the pain!

Not a bad tip hardy! Didn't shift the pain fully but loosened up the back, feels better.
The floor needs hoovered though.

Horrible feeling! On the other hand having a quick cold shower when you're in this sort of state feels unreal.

The sports news slot on the Pat Kenny programme says RTÉ are getting calls castigating them for claiming Graeme McDowell as Irish. They didn't say from whom the calls came, but Kenny seemed to imply that they were claiming he's British, which suggestion he debunked by pointing out that Britain is that other island to the east of us. He's UK-ish but definitely not British, said Pat. And anyway, he plays for Ireland.

Still cannot figure out women. Tortures, the lot of them.

Today, having a cup of tea with the girls from work, they were busy chatting about celebrity men and their looks. The usual auld crap I have to listen to everyday. Well today I happened to say that I saw pictures of Christine Bleakley's sister. Jesus, they turned on me. "What you mean?!?" "Something wrong with us?!?" "I hate the way men objective women!"

A BOY who broke his hand playing football at a soccer academy weekend won more than €12,000 in damages yesterday.

The 10-year-old broke his wrist when a Glasgow Celtic coach hit a ball at him, the Circuit Civil Court heard. Eoin Forde's dream soccer academy weekend in July 2008 ended in agony, a judge was told.

Barrister Victoria Barrett said Eoin, of Effernock Manor, Dublin Road, Trim, Co Meath, had been attending a soccer camp at Tully Park, Summerhill Road, Trim, when he was injured.

Ms Barrett said the boy, now 12, was playing goalie when a coach kicked a football at him and fractured his right wrist.

She told Circuit Court President, Mr Justice Matthew Deery, that Eoin was shaken by the injury and the damaged bone in his wrist had been manipulated into place under general anaesthetic.

His wrist was placed in a plaster for three weeks and he had since made a full recovery.

Eoin, through his father Ian, had sued Celtic FC Limited, Celtic Park, Glasgow, and Topflight Sports for Schools Limited, which organises player academies and trades as Topflight Soccer at Jervis Street, Dublin.

The judge approved of a settlement offer of €12,440 and costs made on behalf of both defendants and directed the money be paid into court funds until Eoin reaches the age of 18.

Ms Barrett said the boy, now 12, was playing goalie when a coach kicked a football at him and fractured his right wrist.

She told Circuit Court President, Mr Justice Matthew Deery, that Eoin was shaken by the injury and the damaged bone in his wrist had been manipulated into place under general anaesthetic.

His wrist was placed in a plaster for three weeks and he had since made a full recovery.

Eoin, through his father Ian, had sued Celtic FC Limited, Celtic Park, Glasgow, and Topflight Sports for Schools Limited, which organises player academies and trades as Topflight Soccer at Jervis Street, Dublin.

The judge approved of a settlement offer of €12,440 and costs made on behalf of both defendants and directed the money be paid into court funds until Eoin reaches the age of 18.

This shite really annoys me - how many on here broke bones in their body when playing soccer or Gaelic as young fellas?

The fact that he was playing in goals is the worst part!

The green party and everything about them, also the turf cutting ban in raised bogs in the west of Ireland, again the small man getting screwed, (BNM valuation of bog 235k p/a, Govt. 3000 p/a) while Bord na Mona can cut away hundered of acres of bog some of it raised every year without any EU directives affecting them.The west of Ireland is a live vibrant area, not to be turned into some preservation reserve by D4 heads and their ilk. Rural people understand their environment and its limitations and have managed it quite successfully for generations, If the D4 tree huggers want to have an imput in to the west, move down here and be a part of the area, not just issuing dictats to the "stupid country pumpkins/ peasants" who they think know no better. No more, thanks.

I think Bord na Mona has an obligation to replant those bogs it cuts away, or a percentage of them. The individual could not be relied upon to do that.

Having said that, I feel the small man cutting and saving his own turf is a way of life and those apes in the Green Party should feck their noses out of it. Half of them hoors never saw a sod of turf in their life anyway.

As regards BNM planting the bog, these bogs will be planted with fir trees and the like which cause untold damage to local waterways due to soil erosion and acidic run offs from the trees, also they can really take over an area/ community when they mature.

Did anyone else see the Mayor of Roscommon Town Council & Councilor for the Castlerea area of Roscommon County Council Luke 'Ming the Merciless' Flanagan on a TV. debate re cutting of bogs last night. I was surprised that he was on the pro-bog cutting side and seemed very informed and really argued his side very well. While I am very much against his legalisation of Cannabis stance, I am very much in agreement with him on this. I laughed when he pointed out that the Greens asked him twice to run for them but he declined (cannot remember exactly what he said but it was very funny and really stuck the boot into the Green Party).

I agree Gaeilgoir, I hate all those fir tree forests, there should be at least a 50-50 native tree balance and of the natives at least 50% of them should be long grow trees that take 150 years + to mature.

AZ,

BNM have left vast swathes of bogs behind them and haven't even carried out the most basic of reinstatement measures, simple things like filling the drains in.

An Gaeilgoir,

I could write a book at this stage about Gormless and his lies. You have hit the nail on the head regarding who and what the green party represent. Gormless is the prime example of the NIMBY's that run through the party from top to bottom.

Regarding the Wildlife Bill and the Dog Breeding Bill, he has lied both on live television and in the Dail regarding the consultation process that where supposed to have been carried out. For the only time that I can remember you had the head of a semi state body being openly critical of the governments proposed legislation, Adrian Neilan the head of Bord Na gCon was the man in question. Both these bills only came about due to a clique of what can only be described as dangerous people within the Green party.

They are the animal rights extremists who held the party to ransom by threatening to vote against the banking legislation at the party conference unless they got these bills in the renegotiated programme for government. So in effect a clique of around 100 people within a party who at the latest poll had around 2% support where dictating to the rural people of Ireland what they could and couldn't do.

Many including myself see these as the "thin edge of the wedge" and the start of worse to come for rural Ireland. http://risecampaign1.wordpress.com/ RISE are a lobbying group set up by rural people who have refused to let the likes of Gormless dictate wether they can continue with traditions that have been going on in the countryside for generations.

This is Bord na Mona's policy on Land Use. Not sure how good they are at adhering to it, but it does seem to suggest they at least are aware of their responsibilities here..



..............

Land-Use Planning


Bord na Móna's policy is to remove as much peat as is economically possible from each of the bogs which it develops. It is essential that it should do this, because all the costs involved in the development of a bog are incurred in the early years. The capital costs associated with peatland development are items such as drainage, provision of rail infrastructure, purchase of specialised machinery, plus substantial financing charges. Developed peatlands with their infrastructure have a value of €32,000 per hectare per metre deep.

Therefore to recoup this investment it is necessary to remove as much peat as economically possible. None of the presently identified uses for cutover and cutaway peatland can economically justify leaving behind extractable peat resources. This does not, however, equate with total peat removal.

Industrial removal of peat using the milled peat system differs considerably from traditional hand cutting. Under the milled peat system the total bog area is drained and then lowered by horizontal peat removal at the rate of approximately 1 metre every 10 years. As there is usually 4.5-5 metres of extractable peat in each bog, it takes 45-50 years to remove the peat resource.

Cutaway bog is the term used to describe the areas of peatland from which it is no longer possible to extract peat economically. Cutaway bogs can be classified according to the following three key ground conditions:

Type and depth of peat remaining

Underlying subsoils

Drainage potential

While all of these factors are important in determining the future use of cutaway, perhaps the key issue is the drainage potential.

Drainage water is removed from peatland into the surrounding arterial drainage system either by gravity or pumping. Pumping is necessary where the peatland lies in a basin below the surrounding arterial drainage. Typically the drainage water from peatlands on the eastern Midlands are removed by gravity while those straddling the Shannon are pumped. In the gravity drained areas a range of future uses is possible, depending on the other criteria, and including issues such as accessibility, local population etc. However, if the area requires ongoing artificial pumping, possibilities for future uses are limited, because there are no likely uses which could sustain the cost of the pumping, in the long term.

Although it is the intention to remove as much peat as is economically possible, this does not necessarily result in total peat removal due to the horizontal nature of peat removal by milling [link to Factsheet 8]and the undulating nature of the sub-peat glacial mineral soil deposits. In general the peat depth remaining, within a given production area, will range from as little as a few centimetres up to 1-1.5 metres. Although it may be technically feasible to remove the final pockets of deeper peat, it does not make economic sense.

The only common factor to all soils that underlie peatlands in the Midlands of Ireland is that they are all alkaline. After the last Ice Age the retreating ice fields left behind an undulating topography of calcareous boulder drift. The depressions within this undulating terrain were filled with glacial meltwater. These lakes were subjected to annual flooding resulting in the deposition of alluvial flood material in annual bands over many thousands of years. While annual deposition of alluvial soil was taking place in the lakes, the surrounding higher lands which were out of the water underwent soil forming processes, initially supporting sparse vegetation but eventually becoming covered in forest. Within these two broad categories of soil there are many different and complex transitional soil types each of which exhibit different future use potential. By and large soils which are derived from weathering processes are at the higher contours and are therefore drainable by gravity, while those in the depressions are of alluvial origin and drainage is accomplished by pumping.

Because the amount of peat left will be variable and soil types and drainage conditions can vary so much, these all have an impact on designating the future use of cutaway. The research and pilot scale developments carried out by Bord na Móna over the past three decades has allowed it to build up the technology to designate the appropriate use to each of the distinct cutaway areas which will occur in any bog unit. The following table indicates the appropriate after-use for the different cutaway conditions encountered.
 

Topography   Drainage  Peat depth  Sub-soil  Appropriate uses 
Sloping  Gravity  Shallow  Weathered  Grassland, hardwoods recolonisation with alkaline flora 
Sloping  Gravity  > 0.75m  Weathered/Partially Weathered  Coniferous forestry. Acid tolerant hardwoods. 
Sloping  Gravity  Shallow  Sand, gravel  Sand & gravel removal; lake creation 
Depression  Pumped  Shallow  Alluvial/marl  Lake and wetland creation. 
Depression  Pumped  > 1m  Alluvial/marl  Wetland creation for wildlife



Matching the technical requirements of each land use to the conditions prevailing the likely future use of Bord na Móna's cutaways are as follows:
40-50% - coniferous forestry
30-40% - wetlands, natural landscape
10-20% - grassland
10-20% - hardwood forestry

Because of the undulating nature of the bottom of the bog, peat depths can vary quite considerably, even though the milling process operates on a totally flat surface. Download PDF of The Peatlands of Ireland. This means that the rate at which areas become cutaway varies very considerably within one bog unit. There can be discrete areas within a bog becoming cutaway but it is not possible to undertake development until the whole unit, or most of it, arrives at the same stage. It can take many years from the time when the first area becomes cutaway to the moment when development work becomes possible.

He has also continuously lied (and been let away with it) in the media, by constantly referring to stag hunting as a blood sport. No blood is spilt in stag hunting. If he was really concerned about blood sports surely he would be concentrating on banning fox hunting. Not that I would support that either, but his priority here illustrates the true petty vindictive nature of the man and his vendetta against the Ward Union because they defeated him in court.

Exactly. These people don't care how many livelihoods they destroy or rural industries they eliminate (including large chunks of the livestock farming industry) as long as their anthropomorphic bambification of the countryside prevails.

Whoever defined puritanism as the awful fear that someone, somewhere may be enjoying themselves was right. Puritanism stalks this land in sandals.

Doctor is an academic title not a medical
one in fact most medical doctors are not qualified enough to genuinely earn the title.
and yes titles do actually impress employers. with people educated to degree level earning significantly more that less well qualified co-workers . employers do read facebook.

Noy sure about the rest of you, but when I see it on facebook my immediate thoughts are not of how impressive it is but the fact that that person is shallow and so insecure that they need to constantly reassure themselves and others of their qualifications via a social networking website. Or that they think it makes them more important than others, perhaps.

I am not saying that there is no one in the world who has put their credentials on facebook through a desire to impress other people, but I am pretty confident that that reasoning alone, would be rather unusual. As someone else mentioned, employers are constantly researching potential new employees through these tools. Facebook is more to some people than just a fun thing, it can be an essential asset when looking for, employers, and employees.

I can never help but think that people who get bothered by these small things that other people do, have some self egotistical reason for their botheration. I'm of the opinion that if it truely didnt bother you - you'd never mention it.

We have to put as much on there as possible. For example - there are three grades of my particular title, and I am the second of the three. I have to acknowledge that so that I dont get expected to have the experitise, or responsibility of the highest of the three, if that makes sense. Also, it lets customers, clients and co-workers know what level of service to expect from me. When I make it to the third level - they can expect third level service and training and so on.

And that is where the glass ceiling kicks in! :-[

Who gives a shite really, some of you are really easily annoyed, everyone knows their nicknames and sure when talking in general conversation about the match you will refer to Ricey, Mugsy, Star and Gooch, sure even yesterday, the commentators where calling DONAL Shine, DONNY Shine, big woopty dooo, but i suppose this annoyed ya's as well???????

Soft frees given for perfect tackles and backs just standing their ground. As for the shoulder, ther's no point even attempting it anymore. Even if it's perfectly executed you'll be lucky if you just get a yellow.

And Marty Morrissey - Every single time ( and I'm not exaggerating when I say every single time) a player kicks the sliotar he cracks that lame joke - "And Richie shows there's footballers in Kilkenny too".

these new phrases/words flying in from yankeeland land
like when people say that something was 'a journey' - no it wasnt thats just time and life!!

also the use of the word 'amazing' (galling me when said in an am-mere-ican accent)

or the incorrect and over use of the word 'surreal'

Awesome post.

Yes - you sure stepped up to the plate there and touched base big time.

Pressure was on there, you really stepped it up a gear, and delivered.

far better way to get rid of the fcukers- I find it somewhat theraputic too as the bastirds are always attacking the flowers , strawberries and whatever plants and veg is growingin the back garden.

Buy cheap (but strong) lager. Get 4.3% stuff or stronger.
Get small plastic trays or containers (the stuff they deliver the chinese stuff in now, or cut the botom off coke or 7up bottles etc.
fill up with a couple of inches of beer and leave them all around the garden.
Dont do this if its going to rain, or put beer traps in sheltered areas where the rain wont get at them.
I caught 53 slugs one particular night. Some huge fcukers too.
Leave this intact and then empty containers after a week of so - the slugs turn into sticky goo, you dont have to go near them. Its not even cruel, as the hoors bath in beer (something a lot of us would love to do) and they just die in it and melt away happily!

I really dont know how I havent wrote on this thread before about this because it really and truly grinds my gears! Players who dont wear the right togs or socks during a game! Its a little annoying how say, Rostrevor players wear Down shorts during a club game, because they are still black with a red trim, or Mayobridge players could maybe get away with wearing a pair of Dublin shorts, but I can maybe just about live with that, because the untrained eye wouldnt notice. BUT when your club colours are green and white, there is no sense in having pair of BLUE chelsea shorts on! I seen this to my horror in a minor championship match a few years back. Amongst the team there was also black shorts, a lad with red socks, and a lad with white socks. How a player cant get a pair of club shorts and socks is beyond me, sure he could even borrow a pair, but when it comes to a championship game, surely wearing a different colour of togs is unacceptable!? It looks ridiculous for a start!

I'[d say plentyof people would love the option of being thrown into a big vat of beer and having to drink their fill !
POG I actually dont give a fiddlers - the slugs that can live in water (afaik) will happily lounge about in the beer and I believe are effectively drunk as skunks so dont feel themselves eroding away eventually- which at some point in the early stages they are bound to have expired anyhow. They could crawl back out again but choose not too.

Either way - humane or not, I dont give a rats erse as once they eat my strawberries and plants, they have to go !

If it was myself in that position, with the potential to get backout again like the slugs have - then I'd have a choice ! by not going out again I'd drown - like the slugs.

Person- Zap, can you take me to the airport.
Zap - Sure, what time?
Person - My flight's at 5.
Zap- OK so what time do you want me to lift you?
Person - Whatever time suits.
Zap - Just pick a time for me to collect you.
Person - Well the flight is at 5 and I suppose I need to be there an hour before hand.
Zap - Ok so, what time?
Person - Whenever.
Zap - You can fuking walk to the airport.

Had a friend who did this. I asked him why he did it. He changed it because he was in the job market, and wanted to be undetectable to any potential employers.

When I started my new job, I found out most of my co-workers and my bosses wife had facebooked and/or googled me.

Suppose its a catch 22.
It is a social networking site - so you dont want to have privacy set to fort knox levels and end up being un-findable. At the same time, most of us want to have a degree of privacy. I've my own set to a relatively private level, but a search would produce my name and profile picture. So if I was applying for a new job and had a profile picture of me swilling a pint of stout - it might not produce the same levels of excitement in a potential employer as it would for myself. Not to mention, you cant set it to block people who you dont know might be looking for you. It's hard to think about everything, and you can't know what you don't know, and I will conceede that my buddy's rationale cannot be applied across the board.

I can't see any employer caring if you have a picture of you drinking a pint - posing naked or something may be different.

I am sure some idiot out there has gotten burned by public information they have put online.

The irish name thing doesnt really bother me - but anyone who puts their degree on there or letters after their name etc just screams KNOB!

He was only a young fella and, since you have to be 16 or over to be allowed into the facilities, he wouldn't have known such an unwritten rule. You'd never see an aul timer at that sort of craic.

People who change their name into Irish on Facebook.. If it wasn't in Irish when ya set it up don't change it.. A poor attempt at patriotic bullshit !..

Well said.

Had a friend who did this. I asked him why he did it. He changed it because he was in the job market, and wanted to be undetectable to any potential employers.

When I started my new job, I found out most of my co-workers and my bosses wife had facebooked and/or googled me.

Something to think about.
Do they know they can set the privacy so not everyone can see the page?

If you value privacy, why would you have a Facebook page?

How would people know you value privacy if you didn't have a FB page to tell them?

When people say things like "you can't be too careful these days". Or "You just don't know any more" What is that supposed to mean? I think it means people are getting more paranoid and stupid.

funerals..

Just returned from one, a local lad i knew passed away, what grinds my gears is the whole set up of irish funerals e.g going around shaking hands with each & every family member not knowing what to say?

A life should celebrated & not mourned... for family to sit through that is terrible

Maybe some family's take great comfort in it and find it helps ease the pain..
Do you not think it be worse if they were left alone with no one offering their condolences? 
And what do you mean not knowing what to say?
You shake their hand and say sorry for your loss,its not that difficult.

It's showing your support for the family, personally I've taken great comfort from it when in that situation.
Families aren't generally in the celebrating mood in the days after a loved one's death either.

Sitting down for hours shaking hands with mainly strangers doesn't help ease the pain, should be a get together to celebrate the life, IMO family members are put on display having to sit through it & You have go to each member & say sorry for loss sounding like a broken clock in the end

Having sat through a lot funerals myself there must be a better way of doing it?

Not my experience or my family's either. 
What would you want people to do to "celebrate the life"?
and you're not required to say the same thing to every member of the family or even to say anything.

Surely a bit of sincerity should get you out relatively unscathed. Unless of course the deceased was a shitehawk - in which case don't go or keep your opinions to yourself.

Just because words and phrases are used often - doesnt mean that their meaning gets diluted.

Would saying Happy Birthday to someone suck just because someone else said it too?

Yes have been to some funerals where we have met in the pub after wards, I have heard of funerals where they play the guitar and everybody sang, ate good food, wore bright colours and really had a joyous time talking about great memories. but it's all a matter of taste i guess

One of the things we do very well as a people and a community, in my opinion, is how we handle death, funerals, support of the bereaved and all that goes with it. We're at our best when we're supporting our neighbours and friends through loss. I agree with pintsofguinness that the support of neighbours and friends is a great source of strength in coping with loss.

I used to avoid the shaking hands where possible, thought it was an endurance test for the family, especially at big funerals when they could be sitting in the church for hours shaking hands - until I was on the other side of it and found great comfort from it.  Can't say that it's the same for everyone, but I now make a bigger effort to do it.  And what you say doesn't matter in the slightest (well within reason!!)

I still cringe though when I think of the first Mass I was at after the funeral and someone offered me the sign of peace at the appropriate time and my response was "thanks very much" :S

Slightly off a tangent, and it didn't grind my gears at all, but semi related to Treas' post. My English cousin (RC) was over one time when we were about 12 or so. She went up to receive communion, and when the priest says 'Body of Christ', she answers 'Thanks' :D I nearly split myself.

Not as good as the time we were at blessings of the graves on a windy evening, in the queue for holy communion, a cousin was in front of me and when the priest went to give her the communion it flew out of his hand, hit her in the face and landed 10ft away with the priest scurrying after it.

When Ronnie Reagan was president, he and the Mrs were at some religious ceremony where they were offered communion in bread and wine form. Ronnie hadn't a clue what the drill was but the priest/minister came to Nancy first and gave her the bread. When she was taking it, she fumbled it and it fell into the chalice, so he gave her another one and then a drink from the chalice. Then he moves on to Ronnie, who knows the score now, so he takes the piece of bread and fecks it into the chalice.

On one road the car was worse than a tractor and was causing a queue of about 15 cars. Can drivers like this be reported or something? I've no problem with people being safe but this was ridiculous

Whats worse is the pricks in powerful cars who do 40-50kph on bends then accelerate to 100-110kph on stretches and you are in a less powerful car and you cannot pass but you get stuck behind the p***k on the next bend.

Definitely slows me down too. Sometimes you're driving in the comfort zone and those car signs can make you pay that wee bit more attention to your actual driving.

It is not simply an issue with going too fast (although there are times all of us have done it - show me someone who says they have never driven too fast, and I will show you a liar).

If even one of those signs manages to prevent an accident (wether you agree with the rationale or not) then I can't see why they are a gear grinder (no pun intended).


Driving through the school zones here in the US  - which are a mandatory 15mph zone at times irritates the shite out of me - but if it saves the life of one child it is worth it.

Anyways back on topic track (see Mod3 has the finger over the red button) those fecking Baby On Board car stickers. WHY? Is your life not worth as much as your childs? What do these people who put up these sticker think they achieve???  >:(

actually wondered the very same thing the other day, whats the point of them. do they think people are less likely to crash into them if they have a sticker up??

Ok, why not put up a "Slow The Fcuk Down" sign then or "I May Veer Out Suddenly"? Sorry, I just don't get why people put them up or adjust their driving on seeing them. Are the rest of us who don't display them more in danger of being rear ended???

People, people, people, BABY ON BOARD signs are not about adjusting how other drivers, drive behind them, it is a self congratulatory salute on their ability to procreate and a way of letting the rest of the world know.  However what they fail to realise is that they haven't done anything extraordinary or outstanding, even their own parents achieved this feat.  In fact humankind have been doing it for millennia, as well as animals, plants microorganisms, in fact all life on this little planet.  So next time you see such signs, have a chuckle and think of the poor child to have such dunderheads as parents.

What you need is a wire mesh oven plate thingy that you put the oven chips on instead of putting them in a baking tray,best €5 i ever spent.
Chips won't stick to them and if it's a fan oven you don't have to turn them either.

How many Down supporters were in Ballybofey?

I'm not having a pop at yourself 5Sams or indeed most of the Down men on here who seem fairly dedicated but I have little sympathy for those moaning about tickets who wouldn't know what the National League was if it hit them in the face. I've had requests for tickets from people who I know rightly have barely been to a game all year.

I used to think that participating counties didn't get nearly enough tickets and that it was selfish of so many neutrals to go but I've retracted from that view myself. If I came across a ticket I'd accept it with a clear conscience knowing I contribute more to the GAA than the vast majority of those left without.

The people I have the real sympathy for are the committee members of clubs up and down the county who will be left to deal with the aspiration of the bandwagon jumpers most of whom will no doubt claim to have been "at every match all year."

It is seriously exhausting dealing with these people - I think that the proverbial band aid needs to be ripped off and just tell them that their constant fecking moaning about things of no consequence needs to be knocked off.

When you reach that stage in life when you are feeling down, your wife says in a soft, dulcet tone  - "I know something that will cheer you up" - and she hands you a chocolate bun and a cup of tea

Believe it or not, a woman rang Joe Duffy the other day. Her child was born last year on "Arthur's Day" and she decided to call him Arthur! But that's not it. She was complaining that she wasn't told that "Arthur's Day" wouldn't be on the same date every year and was hugely upset that it was a different date this year. So upset, in fact, that she's going to change the child's name.

Dodgy zips....
I've these Jeans with a zip pocket and I was away yesterday on a train and had the wallet, train tickets etc in the pocket with the zip closed - as you do because it's secure! Anyway - I was sitting quietly on the train when the yer man came round looking to see the tickets - I went to get mine but the zip on my pocket wouldn't open! After ten minutes of wrestling with it I got it opened enough to get the wallet out and yer man had made three trips back to me at this stage! It was nearly as embarrassing as the time I tried on a pair of jeans in some shop with a belt similar to those you have on an airplane where you have to pull back a lever to get it to open and when I did the belt wouldn't open!!!

Sometimes its not feasible to pull onto the hard shoulder - if its a particularly busy road he will have major trouble (and be much more of a hazard) getting back on to turn right for e.g.

Well why the feck does their days work involve driving motors that wont go more than 20 mph? Do they have the right to hold the whole road up while they sail along without pulling in. Does my bloody head in. We all do a days work doesnt give us a god forsaken right to drive a bloody big thing like that  >:( >:( >:(.
Every bloody time i have anywhere to go i get stuck behind one of them who havnt the manners to pull in.

Because cars can't carry bails of silage? Tractors are necessary part of farming life, its not as though farmers themselves use them when a car would do the same job. And yes, they do have a God forsaken right to drive a bloody big thing like that, they have as much entitlement to use public services as those involved in other occupations.

yes it can be frustrating being stuck behind a tractor when you're in a hurry but they do have every right to be there and if it's always happening you there are two reasons for this.

1) you live in the country. therefore, you should be more tolerant to you're farming neighbours
2) You are obviously leaving it too late to get to your destination, leave 5 mins earlier and chill out and stop always being in a rush. It's people like you who take risks overtaking tractors and other vehicles to get somewhere 30 seconds quicker and putting other peoples lives at risk (including the farmer)

P.S. I'm not farmer ;D

Sure we will see how long you all last without farmers.  No cereals so there goes your cornflakes in the morning, your bread etc.  No milk. See previous point.  No meat so there goes most dinners except for the vegetarians.  no beer either which i would say would hurt the most.

Tractors are not allowed to stradle the hard shoulder as it is illegal and can be dangerous.  Plus by law a tractor of a certain weight is only allowed to do 20mph on the road.

Pulling in every 5 mins would soon add up to an already long day.  Should they get up earlier than normal because of your impatience?  And when i say earlier i mean a lot earlier than the average person.  Some farmers are up at 5am to check lifestock before they go out to their work and during calving/lambing season they can be down to 4 hours sleep a day.  Im sure they give a dam about someone rushing to get to a 9-5 job where they spend their day at a computer looking at this board.

Farmer allowed to drive car but banned from driving tractor

Farmer allowed to drive car but banned from driving tractor


A NEWPORT farmer who appealed a year-long driving disqualification was cleared to drive his car at last week's sitting of Castlebar Circuit Court but remains disqualified from driving his tractor for a year.
Mr Michael Nevin (51) of Glenhest, Newport was banned from driving for a year after he failed to pay an on the spot fine and was summoned to court for driving without reasonable consideration, when he was returning in his tractor from Balla mart. He was accused of the District Court Judge at a sitting of Castlebar District Court of 'arrogance' for not allowing his tractor to allow traffic to pass.
Garda John Daly told last week's sitting of the Circuit Court that while travelling from Balla towards Castlebar on July 19 last, he was stuck behind traffic travelling at approximately 20 km per hour. He said a tractor pulling a 26 foot trailer was holding up around 20 vehicles and had five or six opportunities to pull in but didn't.
Garda Daly said he stopped the tractor and spoke to the driver who gave his name as Michael Nevin. When he brought it to the attention of the driver that he had held vehicles up, Garda Daly said that Mr Nevin replied that he had the right to be on the road the same as anyone else. He said he issued an on the spot fine but he failed to pay it and he was eventually prosecuted in the District Court.
Ms Ann-Marie Courell, BL for the defendant, said that her client had tried to pay the fine but was outside the date. She said that he was a farmer who also worked part-time as a bus driver and had a clean licence with no previous convictions, and had received an award for safe driving from by Bus Éireann.
She also said he that his farm was scattered around Glenhest and he needed a vehicle to get around the farm and added that his wife was ill at the moment and was unable to drive. She said this was an 'unusual case' because people were usually banned for speeding and not for driving too slow.
However, Judge Raymond Groarke interjected and claimed that this case was every bit as serious because people 'crawling along' hold up traffic and can cause accidents and chaos on the roads. Ms Courell said that her client accepted that but his personal circumstances and his role as a part-time driver meant that a licence was a necessity.
Judge Groarke said that Mr Nevin was as entitled to be on the road as any other motorist but had to be considerate to other motorists and by driving at 20km per hour was heedless to other motorists. He said that driving slowly could be even more dangerous that driving above the speed limit and that Garda Daly's decision to stop him was most welcome.
However, he accepted he had difficulties with his wife being ill and the fact that he lived in a rural area without regular transport. He also said that he needed his licence for his livelihood and because there was no complaints with regard to driving a car, he proposed to vary the order of the District Court and allow Mr Nevin to drive a car but disqualified him from driving a tractor for 12 months.

A few ideas for ye:

furry dice               - not in the car (you can stick them in the front of your jocks if you feel insecure)
Bailing twine - get a proper belt
wellies          - new shoes, ask the nice lady in the shop to choose
hands                    - wash them every day
teeth                     - probably best to get new ones

I know that sounds bad but it's very popular and i'd say majority of men have experienced it before, it's nothing to be ashamed about but it is a pain on the tool to get rid of (parden the pun :D)

Don't be such a big girl. I like stuff filed in the right place. Just like I like to see Tyrone club matters on the Tyrone club thread I'd like to see club fundraising in a thread. Rather than 30 different threads a year popping up and falling away it would be better to have them all in the one place so you don't need to spend an hour looking for a thread 2 months after its last post (the search function here is crap). It was an administrative request. I didn't expect posters to get all outraged and stroppy.

Fair enough, I should not be watching at the same given time they do it every night but at the start it was a novelty and you got a sort of kick from it. Now it's a year later and I still know it is going to happen and I cannot draw myself to not look. How can I let him know?

The tubes who sit in the crowd at the X Factor. When they're not booing the judges (who mightn't know a lot, but they know better than the crowd), they're booing an act making it through to the next round, even though it was all down to the public! Poor auld Wagner.

boy lands round last night to the backdoor on a nationalist road and asks if i would buy a poppy, I politely declined, he informed me I was the only one one road so far, in a menancing way, i firmly told him no then he spun out through the gate

no doubt i have made it onto a little black book listing

it's bad enough them on sale in mixed public places but coming to a house and trying to intimidate the occupant is unreal IMO

Rotten bad luck:
Yesterday I broke a pair of headphones for my MP3 Player - cost of about 25-30 quid
Buckled the wheel on my bike which cost me 30 quid this evening to fix
Broke a new pump I had for the bike with cost of about 30 quid
Lost my phone - about 70 quid

and today I turned on my ankle and I'm barely fit to put my foot on the ground.

I'm worried about what's going to happen next.

Anyway, there's somethings I don't talk about. Like for instance, the handling last night, which sent my stress levels through the roof. However, I don't want to talk about that.  :-*

Why? They are every bit entitled to it as much you or I. They are no more a drain than an Irish person.

Waste should be tackled as a matter of urgency but it won't happen here. It needs to happen from the top down and we will not see political reform sadly.

What might happen is the rise of hatred and the scapegoating of foreigners which has happened in a lot of countries.

But you seemed to suggest because no one else was in their work clothes (people dress in very different ways for work so I'm not sure how anyone can assume someone isn't in their work clothes) they were all scrounging on benefits.

I think she kicked the door in last night, there's some man there fixing it today. 
I seen her one morning I was going to work and it was like something you'd see in a zombie movie - big white face, red bulging eyes, head hanging to one side, hair hanging down round her.
Now the fella is outside, directly under my window, roaring down the phone for the last 20 minutes!

That reminds me of my Engineering days when i went the hospital with steel in my eye, the nurse couldn't get it out with a cotton bud as it was wedged in so she got a 4" needle to try and pluck it out. We had a big fallout and i ended up in a different hospital this was because i kept blinking everytime she put the needle in my eye...anyone who can take a needle in the eye and not blink has my admiration...

When I was 11, I had a bone graff in my neck, taken from my neck. As a result, I had to wear a metal halo that was screwed into my skull and secure to a body case, so I couldnt turn my head. A primitive version of the one yer man off Emmerdale is wearing at the moment.

Every so often, I had to go to Musgrave Hospital to get the screws tighten. On one occasion, they accidentally unscrewed it. Realising what he did, he decided to screw it back in, there and then. It went in at the wrong angle. All this without anesthetic injection. Believe me, you've never known pain like it...

Almost totally Spanish lingo here in Miami nothing against the Spanish speaking in general but you would expect more English spoken in a big Amercian city like this.

A bit like Man Utd and their fans around Old Trafford. The native manchunian must have similar thoughts !

Usually this is said by some idiot who also happens to follow a Premiership team despite not being from that city!

Not a Surprise but was expecting a bit more english, was gonna Trek across to Cuba but don't think i"ll have the time now  :-\

Plus most of the taxi drivers here are from Haiti (french speaking)
Would it not be impossible to get from Miami to Cuba given the embargo  ???

Yes Ziggy thats one way of looking at it but Tyrones own is closer to the point i was making.

Canaries islands might be a better comparison with it been Spanish but mostly English speaking anyways besides the language barrier Miami is well worth a visit.

f**king Dell (insert any large corporation in here). The f**king operating of large companies grinds my gears.

I bought a computer from these fuckwits in april - and it has been shite since I got it. I have called them a number of times for assistance, or to discuss sending the thing back - but the calls get sent to some outsourced hell hole where I can barely understand the English being spoken back to me. It's soul destroying. Low and behold I am out of town and miss a payment on the damn computer and I get a call from someone in an office in Ohio or somesuch place, who you can be damn sure can ask you in perfect English if you want to make a payment over the phone and could you be so kind as to explain to them why you missed the payment!
>:(
So in my finest "hellhole" dialect I say I say I say f**k You Van Wilder Dell inc.!!!

Well maybe you could answer the phone when you're over there when I call and we could get this squared away?   :)

Alternatively, if you want to use me as a case study for the natives: "How to deal with an angry f-bomb dropping Irishman who isn't happy with the product" - I can give you my number and y'all can give me a call at (from) your (the) convenience (store)?


Seriously though, its not even Dell that is the source of my frustration. It's just typical of the world in 2010 - use the English speakers to get the money off them, and then fecking send them up the walls when they need customer service. That is why when I call any company about anything at all - I press the button for "new customer" - if you press the button for "returning customer" they'll keep you on the line for hours. If they think they can squeeze a few shillings out of you - they will bump you to first in line.

I had a problem trying to get a Dell computer delivered, went around in circles for a week or two and was getting nowhere.  I emailed michael.dell@dell.com and had a phone call from the States within a couple of hours, assuring me it would be sorted, followed by a phone call from some Vice President of some department or other, followed by an apologetic call from one of the guys I'd dealt with (felt bad about that) followed by delivery 3 days later.

He used to do the skits on The Championship years ago. Can't mind the name of the character* that used to sing about Aidan O'Rourke to the tune of Your Beautiful...."I saw your face in the Forkhill Mace, you were standing in the queue".

*Mazda McGrath?

datsun donaghy was the tyrone supporter he did,
think it was madza moane for the armagh one? something like that.

actually thought those were very funny

Lets be mature about this, as i've stated bullying is disgusting and cowardly. It doesn't change the fact however that bullying is endemic in our schools and many parents may not be aware that their children are bullies.

It is a fact that many bullies have been the subject of bullying themselves and target the vulnerable in an effort to lessen their self loathing.

To stick out is to invite unwelcome attention from bullies. That is a fact, no matter how distasteful it seems.

I suffered grievously from bullying at school and its affects lived with me for years. I respect your view however I stand by my opinion.

I never mentioned anything about bullying or anything like that. When I said 'Something just not right about it'..i was merely commenting on how camp the kid was, which is very strange, the age he is, espcially when he says 'star on the rise yeh' because he puts his hands on his hips and all.. Made me laugh like yeh, but at same time I was just thinking, jeeeeesus christ, buy that lad a pair of boots and an oneills ball! :D

Not much they can do now, the stable door is flapping in the wind.
Their intentions were undoubtably good however they may regret them. Child 'experts'can be endearing to adults however they can become the object of ridicule. The case of James Harries (the child antiques expert) is an extreme example.

When do you think they should do something, when the child started to take an interest in fashion, put his hands on his hips for the first time etc? and what exactly should they have done?

Seriously lads, I didn't like the segment. I thought we were being fed that young fella as a humourous filler and it wasn't right. His parents may be proud of him and rightly so but I'm not convinced he would be taken seriously by many of his peers.

If any of you are inferring that I may have some homophobic aversion to a young chap being interested in fashion and standing with his hands on his hips you are 100% wrong.

I retract any statement and argument I made and wish to state that bullying is neither invited or deserved and is a heinous and cruel act which should be rightly condemned.

Hardly unreasonable and I am also vouching that most others would feel the same. He's a bit camp for his age.

I wonder if I was a female stating I didn't want my daughter to be a tomboy would you hold the same moral high-ground?

What are you wtf-ing about? I would prefer that my son, at that age, did not express some of the mannerisms in his behaviour like that kid did. Hardly unreasonable and I am also vouching that most others would feel the same. He's a bit camp for his age. I'm not saying there is actually anything wrong with it just pointing out that most people would prefer not to have a camp son.
I'm wtf-ing at your ignorance and intolerance.
Who or what am I being ignorant or intolerant of?

Yes, I'd hold the same view of you if you said that.

Fair enough, though IMO it is not an unreasonable stance to hold. Given the chance, would you yourself prefer your son at that age to have those traits? Or would you prefer he was into something like sport?

Well I would prefer to engage and spend time with my son through something we both held an interest in, rather than something obscure like fashion.

You said you'd prefer he didn't show "femine traits".
Sounds to me that you'd be more concerned that he was interested in something that's girlie or gay (as I'm guessing you deem fashion to be) than just simply something you're not interested in. 
I'm guessing you'd have no problem if it was your daughter that was interested in fashion? I'd also say you'd have no problem if your son was interested in something you weren't if it was something boyish or manly.
So really it's not about you and your son sharing an interest in something is it?

Yes, along with IMO most other people. Nothing intolerant there, it's a preference in a hypothetical situation.
QuoteSounds to me that you'd be more concerned that he was interested in something that's girlie or gay (as I'm guessing you deem fashion to be) than just simply something you're not interested in.
I'd prefer he wasn't into anything effeminate. For the record though I'd be just as concerned that he was interested in something effeminate; as I would if it was something I had absolutely no interest in (such as fashion). I would much prefer it to be something in which I could relate to with him. Sport being an obvious one.

No, he could like trainspotting, that's a male dominated hobby, I'd be devestated.

I thought last weeks fad annoyed me more with the changing your profile picture to a cartoon character to raise awareness for the NSPCC - totally pointless.

That numbers game is where you private message someone a number and then they put that number in their status along with what they think of that person and the one sending the number is the only person who knows its about them. Pure bullshit the whole thing!

Correct, as usual Minder.

Joking aside, it was a disgrace how this man was treated. Ex tenants and neighbours were queuing up to say how "strange" and "meddling" he was. Perhaps he was, doesn't make you a f**king murderer though.

Joanne Yeats landlord to sue police


The landlord of murdered Joanna Yeates expects to be cleared of any wrongdoing and is considering suing police for wrongful arrest, Sky sources close to him have confirmed.
Police are painstakingly gathering and analysing forensic evidence in the search for the 25-year-old's killer, but Chris Jefferies is apparently confident he will be eliminated from the inquiry.

And sources have said the 65-year-old is now thinking about taking legal action against Avon and Somerset Police.

They arrested him last Thursday, five days after Miss Yeates' strangled body was found on a rural lane three miles from her flat in Bristol.

He had allegedly told neighbours he had seen the landscape architect outside her home with two other people on the night she vanished, but later told Sky News: "I certainly cannot say that I saw Joanna Yeates that evening, no." 

The former public school teacher - who lives two floors above the flat Miss Yeates shared with her boyfriend - was released on police bail after three days of questioning, with detectives saying he was still being treated as a suspect. His whereabouts are not known.

Meanwhile, police - who have come under fire for barring journalists from a press briefing - have made an appeal for "patience" as they continue the meticulous investigation.

This morning, more than two weeks after Miss Yeates was reported missing, uniformed police officers were searching drains in the streets surrounding her flat, with officers using sticks to sift through leaves and mud.

A police officer said they would be searching about 40 drains for clues.

Detectives are also searching for one of Miss Yeates' socks, which could be key to solving who killed her. They revealed on Wednesday that the grey, ski-style garment was not at her flat or the spot where she was found.

Criminologists have told Sky News that the sock may have been taken by her murderer as a "trophy" - and could have been used to strangle her.

Officers have said there is no evidence that she was sexually assaulted, but they have not ruled out a sexual motive.

Miss Yeates was last seen alive on December 17. She was reported missing two days later and her body was found by dog-walkers on Christmas Day.

People who crowd the gate before their seating area has been called and you have to squeeze your way past them to get on the plane after standing behind them thinking that they're getting on now.

People who jump up out of their seats like pole-vaulters as soon as the plane stops at the gate and the seatbelt sign goes off so that they can stand in the isle for the next five minutes before they can move again.

The fella in the window seat beside you who wants to do the same and glares at you while you sit there carrying on reading your book/newspaper as if you're the one holding him up and not the hundred people in front of you.

People who have to make that loudmouthed call as soon as the plane lands.  "Hello?  Yeah. Yeah. Just landed. Yeah. Still on the plane.  Yeah. Yeah.  So are you picking me up? Yeah. Yeah. Probably fifteen minutes. Okay. Love you!"  F**k off!

People who use their mobile phone's speaker so you get the full conversation in all its squawking glory.

People on the motorway who see your indicator as an invitation to close up to the car in front and block you, as if changing lanes is some sort of mortal sin.

Cat haters. At least they make an effort to bury their shite, don't jump up and down barking like hyperactive attention-whore children, don't maul people for no apparent reason, don't get your blood pressure up, and don't get all whiny at the slightest sign of discomfort. If you don't like the look of their eyes, take it up with the process of natural selection that gave them such see-in-the-dark hunting abilities. If you think it's funny picking on a defenceless animal and drowning it (which is against animal cruelty laws in most civilised countries), I'd like to see you unarmed and up against their bigger cousins in the wild. They also keep mice and rats at bay. You're welcome.

Irresponsible dog owners who don't pick up their dog's shite after them, don't keep them under control, and especially the ones in rural areas who leave them loose around the house all day to attack any passing pedestrian or cyclist.

Apostrophe abuser's.  (sic)

People who don't know the difference between there, their and they're. It's not that f***ing difficult!

People who post text speak on their Facebook statuses. You have a qwerty keyboard, you don't have to shorten anything up anymore!

The Facebook obscurantists who post meaningless updates inviting you to ask them what they're on about. I don't know what you're waffling about, nor do I give a f**k!

Kind of zukes that all year round sport (what they think) is an obscure yet original taste in fashion i.e. tie/scarf/hat/wasitcoat/skinny jeans [delete as appropriate]. Usually have something stupid looking going on with their facial hair. Look at me types. Obviously drink Jack Daniels and have no time for football or sport in general. Because they play guitar or some other instrument they consider themselves the ultimate authority when discussing music. Greet you with a "hey man" in a semi-American accent. Pukes.

"What the f**k man? I was keeping this space!"

Says I "Then where's your car?" and I walked off. 

He had something to say about my Obama bumper sticker too, hopefully that pissed him off even more.  He called something after me and I called back that if he touched the car I'd f***ing kill him. God I felt good and righteous after that! I was on the internet within seconds blowing about it.

Went into the shop this evening with a pound coin as i forgot my wallet. Intention was to get a can of coke and a packet of crisps. The can of coke was 67p and the cheapest packet of crisps was 65p. What is going on with the world. Its crazy.

The price of chocolate is desperate these days. My local Centra was selling a Galaxy Caramel for 78p for a while there.
Just for a while? They stopped selling it?

I thought that was the price everywhere and saw it at 60p a few places and they seemed to have readjusted their price. Perhaps they knew i had them under surveillance.

f**king taxi drivers beeping the horn at midnight or after instead of getting their fat arses out of the taxi and ringing the bell.   I've ate the face off a few but it still happens. 

Drivers of decent taxi companies like Fonacab don't do it but most of the others have blow-in-brickies driving who obviousy don't give a sh*t about people with kids in bed.  W*nkers!

I got burned with a work email myself recently. I was forwarding my thoughts on a very bitchy email I had received to my boss when instead of typing in my bosses address I was so flustered I typed in the address of the person who had sent the email to begin with. It certainly got the issue out in the open and addressed - but that moment of panic when I realised what I had done was not pleasant.

Christ wouldn't dream of sending such an email to the boss. Recently had to give an employee a bit of a talking to, and she broke down in tears, but kept the boss out of it, as I know I should sort these things without going to the big cheese; he'd've fired her if I'd've done that.

I'm sure that this has been done before but what is it with women in checkout queues? They stand for 10 minutes waiting to reach the top of the queue, the checkout girl scans their products they then proceed to pack said products all the time seemingly oblivious to fact fact that the girl is going to seek payment at some stage. When asked for money the handbag is then slapped up on counter and every compartment searched to find purse. Then rather than pay with a note the entire contents of purse are emptied out for checkout girl to count in the vain hope that there will be enough change to pay for everything. In conclusion women get your act together some of us don't have all day..

And don't even start me on paying for magazines and a bottle of water with a laser card

You're deciding which checkout to go to. You see the nice wee blonde yoke working on checkout number 2 and only one person in the line in front of you, so you get into that line. Next thing the big fella on checkout number 3 pipes up "I  can help the next person over here" and puts his hand up and he's looking directly at you.  There's nobody else in line anywhere near and you end up having to go to him instead.

I swear that has happened to me three times in the last month.

google and linking your youtube account to a google account and all that bulldung.

Remembering hearing when gmail started that every single word of every mail was kept on record and certain words and combinations of words were flagged like in the Hollywood movies.

To log into youtube there, i had to put in my actual hotmail username and hotmail password (seperate to just a standard youtube login)..the cnuts wont let you log in with the hotmail combination..ie they now have access to hotmail also. I have a secondary hotmail account i use but seemingly it is attached to another youtube account (which is news to me)

and even better, to now setup a new google account, you have to give them your mobile phone number to which they send the verification code (and unless you explicitly tell them not to, they will sell on your number to marketing companies)..the world and its humanoids are having the life slowly but surely sucked out of them by ba$tards like these

gears well and truly grinded

Doctors.

I went to the doctors yesterday because I had a sore head for three days. I knew I just needed strong painkillers and to be told to stop looking at screens etc and get early nights. However, the doctor just nodded and told me to bend over and put on a glove. I don't need to explain the rest. He then sat down and told me to drink more water and get plenty of rest.

He was a chancer but I've made a check up for next week anyway.

PROSPEROUS VENTURE

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Mr. Felix Themba and I am a manager of one of the leading banks here in South
Africa. I am seeking for your cooperation to present/front you as the beneficiary to one of our
late client properties. Before his death he has in his account a total balance of ($25M)
The late Mr. Christian Eich who died in a plane crash along his entire family was a German
engineer who ran carmaker BMW museum, made a deposit of the above said amount in our
bank late 1999 with his wife as the next of kin.

Please note that no other person knows about this account other than me. The strategy is to
use my influence as his account manager to make all necessary changes in your favour so that
we can apply for the release of the funds in your name.

For further clarification you may please contact me on my direct telephone and fax numbers
above. I have already contacted a lawyer who will be working with us to actualizing this
transaction. Also, he will handle all the legal aspects of making you the next of kin to the late
Mr. Christian Eich thus the sole beneficiary to his estates (fund). Terms and conditions of
executing this project will be discussed on confirmation of your seriousness and capability to
participate.

I look forward for your urgent response if you are interested to work this out with me. Your
private telephone and fax numbers will be appreciated for immediate communication.

Regards,
Mr. Felix Themba
Intending partner.

NB: I will provide you with my personal and work details as soon as you confirm your
seriousness in this venture

Clown. If anything that was a penalty. Not the first time hes done that either, he does it all the time, comes out for a corner, flaps at it and then protests he was impeded.

Agreed, the number of Armagh people on Facebook at the moment telling me to join protest groups about the Queen's state visit to Ireland is beginning to puke me. They weren't that interested in protesting in 94 when she was restoring city status to Armagh and it is ridiculous that they are protesting that their own head of state not be allowed to visit another country  :P

O yeah people from the north giving out about the TD's representing them in the Dáil and state of politics in Southern Ireland. THEY DO NOT REPRESENT YOU. IN ALL REALITY THE ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH WILL NOT AFFECT YOU OR YOUR DAY TO DAY LIVING UNDER BRITISH RULE/LAWS/ECT.

Melbourne and Sydney are both in Australia. They're not talking about teams in a different country and referring to them as "us" and "you," are they?

I think if the person follows the team closely, and cares about whether they win or lose, you will find the use of 'we'. The EPL has a huge following in Ireland, thus 'we'. Most other mainstream sports have big Irish representatives, and so 'we' doesn't seem as incongruous.

However, I know of people who live in the US and call EPL teams 'we' as well. I also say 'we' at times when talking about the Arizona Cardinals :)

Ah stop. I wouldn't look to Mourinho for my sociological compass. As for soccer being a religion, I'm sure it is for some, but those are people who need to remember it's supposed to be a game. It should be a release from the day to day pressures of life, not add to them.

Long winded people. You know them - you ask a short question as a means of banal yet friendly communication. In return you get a ten minute reply, the last nine minutes you don't remember as you've been concentrating on finding a break in their diatribe to change the subject to the smell of shite or something they won't be fussed on. Hopefully at the end of the initial 10 minutes they don't ask you, "what do you think?"

Stock replies in that case:

Ach you never know, ha ha.
It's hard to know, ha ha.

TV programmes about fat fcukers. How many of these are on TV these days? FFS.

They are all the same too. "Here is John (a fat cnut from Birmingham), we are going to show him how to lose weight."

They then make John take his clothes off and stand in front of a mirror to show him how fat he is. They then advise him against eating fatty foods and for him to do a bit of exercise. Groundbreaking...

John then returns 6 weeks later, 3lbs lighter and feeling great about himself. He has even got himself a bird who is also no stanger to a fish supper. It's all going swimmingly for John.


Women liking these shows. Tonight it is fat kids. Jesus Christ.

Riding two-abreast is quite legal. Look it up in the highway code if you don't believe me. If it's not safe to pass when they're riding two abreast then it's not safe to pass when they're riding single file. Get over it.

A girl in my club was hit from behind a few weeks ago when riding in the bike lane. She nearly died. She had fractures all over the place, had to have surgery on her lower back, still can't go to the bathroom or take a shower without help, can't even bend over to pick up a sock, and hasn't been able to work since. A vehicle is a big steel box on wheels that can kill somebody if used carelessly, especially on a cyclist.

Anyone that tries to kill me with their van will have their number reported to the cops. I take a very dim view of anybody talking about putting a cyclist's life in danger like that just because he's too impatient to wait a few seconds more (you'd lose more time sitting at a red light). Anybody who even thinks about hurting a defenceless cyclist from the safety of his driver's seat should be ashamed of himself.

In fact this is directly from the highwaycode.

66
You should

keep both hands on the handlebars except when signalling or changing gear
keep both feet on the pedals
never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends
not ride close behind another vehicle
not carry anything which will affect your balance or may get tangled up with your wheels or chain
be considerate of other road users, particularly blind and partially sighted pedestrians. Let them know you are there when necessary, for example, by ringing your bell if you have one. It is recommended that a bell be fitted

And a lot totally ignore cyclists on the road and pull out in front of them, and don't get me started on people opening car doors and ignoring the oncoming cyclist! At least once a day I have to swerve or break suddenly because some tube has done one or the other.

And what about those cyclists, who ignore red lights, drive straight through because these only apparently apply to cars and cause oncoming traffic to brake / swerve - surely if they are on the road they should respect mortorists and traffic signals if they want the same respect shown.  Fact is whether you are walking, running, driving or cycling there are a lot of impatient wankers about and a lot of people who think they can do what they want, if everyone had a little bit more cop on wouldnt it be a better place!

Seldom enough I'd see 'normal' cyclists any more than 2 abreast, and to be honest most of them are single file.

The exception, and it's quite dangerous, are the cycling clubs. Very often they seem to do group training on weekends, and it;s not unusual to see groups of 5, 10 or even more all cycling along in a pelaton, 3,4 and 5 abreast depending on what they are doing at the time.

It's crazy dangerous at times, because they ride it llke a road race but there's no attendant race 'marshals'.

Never ceases to amaze me how sanctimonious motorists can get when it comes to other peoples' behaviour.

I see your 4-abreast cyclists and I raise you motorists breaking the speed limit, thinking a red light doesn't take effect until 2 seconds after it goes red (even if some poor pedestrian has started walking across the street on their green light), yacking on their mobile phones, applying makeup/lipstick/shaving, and driving at night with their lights off (I saw three cases of it last night on the freeway). Ever tried obeying the speed limit when driving? Makes you feel like a snail, doesn't it? You'll soon have some young buck eejit three inches from your rear bumper wondering what you're playing at.  And don't get me started on the death and destruction that motorists cause every year. More people get killed by cars than die in wars.

Cyclists are w***ers? People that live in glass houses shouldn't take a dump in broad daylight.

Many cyclists are indeed wankers, many motorists are too, but the proportion is not so great.

However in the motoring pratt group are those that tailgate you before the tollgate on the M1, when they get by you they then tailgate you after the toll gate. You'd think that if they were in such a hurry that they'd get a fecking tag.

Don't get me started on those b**tard cyclists ..I try to clip all of them with the wing mirror of my van when I pass.

Funny, I thought you were one yourself?

Saying I am one myself is pushing it a little,my bike has been rusting at the back of the garden for the last 6 months (hence the extra 2stone I 've put on since I got married)and when I did use it all I did was cycle it around the Phoenix Park on the cycle lanes.
I was too nervous on the road,too many van drivers trying to hit me with their wing mirrors the b**tards.

Just search for guitar strings. There are three (at least) guitar threads - and I think its discussed in one of them. Can't remember which one though.

You just need to release the pressure of the strings and/mute the strings with your stumming hand while changing chords. Especially if you are playing bar chords and moving up and down the fretboard in the same chord shape. I don't know why you're bothered by it - its part of the sound in my opinion!

I hate it myself. I'm not a guitarist, so it's easy for me to be critical, but it seems lazy or incompetent to me. For me it's clearly an extraneous sound that should be eliminated. It's the same as if the trombone player farted every time he blew.

What annoys me a bit is men sometimes using the quote box on thie board too much. Happens more often on the fit ladies thread than anywhere, one man posts say 5 pictures, and then another man quotes that and then just writes 4 words as a 'reply'. Some serious scrollling be's done for nothing.

When the toilet seat doesn't stay up by itself, which means you have to hold it with one hand, which can lead to many a mishap in the other hand.

The only thing worse than this is, when the toilet seat stays up until you are in full flow then decides to come down taking the toilet lid with it...pish everywhere!!!!

When you get a couple of days off and have to work your arse off before you go and when you come back to make up for being off, makes it pointless.


Translation: Before and after holidays, pintsofguinness works hard. But normally he is a lazy bollix, and does the bare minimum to get through the day  :o

The assissination thread has me thinking of another grind...


All that money wasted on flowers for Princess Di's funeral. Probably millions of pounds which was manure after a fortnight.

One bunch on top of the casket is enough. Give the rest to charity.

The plane passenger in the seat behind who thinks it's okay to poke his knees into my back for five hours and dance a jig just because he can't figure out where to put his legs. (I gave out to him and made a scene about it, he soon figured out where to put his legs.)

The boy on the other flight in the seat beside me with bad breath. He became one of the "jumpers" when the plane landed. You know?  The ones who vault out of their seat as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off so they can stand for five minutes in cramped conditions while the people in front disembark? He actually climbed over my legs so that he could do that. Motherf***er.

They are the machines you put your soda bread / viennesse roll etc into which slices them up for you. Usually has a big red emergency  stop button on it in case you mangle your hands in it. Thought they were common enough in the supermarkets.

I'm not a regular on this thread, but this past weekend reminded me of a bugbear that drives me demented.

As a non-drinker, I still head to pubs and nightclubs regularly, and would normally drink Coke or Lucozade, or at a push, Red Bull. It drives me absolutely spare when you ask for one of these and because they have deals with certain suppliers, you just get Pepsi/Club Energise/Shark given to you without a word said. Then if I say to them that I don't want that, you get that evil glance which tells you that you won't be getting served in a hurry next time you go to the bar, as if I've done wrong. One guy even tried to argue that he'd already opened the bottle and poured it so I'd have to pay for it. Worse still, if someone else is getting the round in, I'm not going to be a p***k and send them back up, but still it drives me demented. God knows the pub is making plenty of margin off the mineral drinkers in there.

I've no problem with a bar having a deal with a certain supplier, that's up to them. I'm quite happy to have 7up or something else instead, but Pepsi is not nice, Club energise is awful and I actually can't force myself to drink Shark, it's that bad. If you don't have what I ask for, is it too much for bar staff to ask if the substitute is okay before just opening and pouring? It's not like I'm going to walk out the door, I just want a drink that isn't torture to force down. 

I mean, I can't imagine somebody asking for vodka and being happy to be given gin, just because it's the same colour, or asking for Budweiser and being given Harp. If you wouldn't do it to alcohol drinkers, why is it okay to pawn off any old muck on the rest of us?

If there is just one bar worker reading this thread who stops that behaviour as a result of reading this, I'll be a happy man.

One time in the rugby club bar in Drogheda, I was getting a round which included a Paddy. I saw the barman fill a Powers. I said nothing until everything was in. Just as I was about to pay, I said "hold on" and I picked up the whiskey and had a good look at it. Then I took a sniff and said to the barman "that's not Paddy, that's Powers". Dirty look, whiskey replaced, not a word.

I'm small-minded enough to have taken great pleasure from that and a small victory for the punter against the massed ranks of the contemptuous floggers of alcohol is no harm.

We were out to dinner a few months back at a pretentious fecking place at an invitation to join another couple. I asked for a Tanqueray and tonic (figuring in this place it would be the guts of 10$). The bar maid took the order and proceeded to pour the gin and then she started making something off to the side. Wasn't sure what she was at until she handed me my cocktail and it looked like watered down snot. I asked her what it was and she said "Oh yeah, we make our own tonic in here". Anyone who drinks tonic knows its the sharpness and the bite that most tonic drinkers like and this was like a flattened, herbacious american style lemonade. I was only able to get  about two sips out of it but in true stupid Puck fashion I didnt say anything and paid $9 for the fecking thing.

Dinner for two that night was 130$ and I went home and made a sandwich. Pretentions fuckin hole.

You haven't been Americanised.  I'd have given it back to her and paid nothing. Why would anyone make their own tonic anyway?  And badly at that?  The tonic's the most important part of the G&T experience. If it's not right then the whole show's off. I hope you went on Yelp and wrote her a scathing review.

It's pathetic but I find that starts because there is always a few that are f**king miserable they would never buy any of this stuff but use everyone else's. It essentially the same as the person who always tries to skip their round in the pub. Used to work with a cnut who always ate everyones cereal and when challenged had the cheek to call everyone pathetic as it was only a wee bit of cereal. He ended being knocked in the kitchen of the company, by a big Maori guy, one morning who took particular offence to him continuing this behavior  :D

But isn't that what you're told when you start driving?  Expect the unexected?

If you are at the kerb, they don't know if you are not silly enough to try and start to cross the road.  Also, they may be afraid that if you drop down from the kerb, the front wheels may get caught and you may pitch/fall forward into the path of the car.

I suspect this happened you once - how could a car always go to the otherside of the road when passing someone in a wheelchair - are cars not allowed to drive on that side round your way.

Watching the Kerry limerick game, and everytime a Kerry player played a kick pass to a man only 20 yards away the commentator, would say "the quality of the foot passing is excpetional".  FFS no doubt Kerry are good but jaysus your average reserve player could hit a decent pass that distance.  And dont get me started on them near having an orgasm when Declan O Sullivan scored a point with his bad foot 10 yards out.

Cooney like every other GAA President is paid in lieu of his salary - raise a motion through your club to only allow school teachers or what not be elected.

As for his 'sub-ordinates' they're paid a market wage for their position.

Have a look at this years financial report and see how much is ploughed back into clubs - I think Croke Park is dead to pursue as much external commercial income as they can

Who are his 'subordinates' anyway? There's not many paid people in the GAA relative to its size, it's mostly a volunteer association. Even Central Council delegates are all volunteers.

Good call.

I think hes probably trying to become a stalwart member as soon as possible so we take him into our confidence, and thinks the best way to do this is by starting loads of shit threads that have nothing to do with GAA. Doing my head in.

Judgmental people.

Like the ones who give someone a dirty look when they park a car (with a disabled badge) in a disabled spot and get out and walk. Little to they know what condition the person might have, for all you know that person might be in absolute agony with every step they take even though they look perfectly normal.

And here's another one. Somebody posted up on Facebook the other day giving out about his neighbour running his air conditioner even though it wasn't hot outside. Plenty of people chimed in their pompous disapproval. Says I "wouldn't the inside temperature be a more pressing concern?" I asked him how he knew how hot it was inside the other fella's apartment or how badly or well ventilated it was. I was even running my AC the same day because the heat would put you out of my place even if it's blowing a chilly breeze outside.  Some w**ker chimes in "Use a fan." A complete fcking dickhead of a stranger telling me what to do in my own house!!! I thanked him for the tip and told him it had already been tried, genius. It didn't work.

Idiots.

A boy in the office next door has a noisy scroll wheel on his mouse. I swear he must sit there for hours on end scrolling! All I can hear is this "clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......clickety clickety click......"

Drives me f**king insane! I actually spoke to him about it eventually and asked him what could possibly be so long that he just sits there all day scrolling through it. Since then the noise has stopped.

He keeps his door open. I've been ordered to keep mine open too because there's no window into my office from the corridor and the boss likes to keep an eye on things. When the boss disappears to Japan I usually shut my door.

Playing on the team with the extra player on astro when an odd number of players show up. A right pain in the hole. Inevitably go 4 goals down quickly as everyone looks to someone else to do the work and arguments ensue.

Oh, also the knobs continuously whinging still about having had to study Peig Sayers in school. Never hear them whinging though about  the theorems, poetry, Shakespeare, Glaciation, Reproduction in plants etc. which imo were of no use to 95% plus of us in the "real world".

Why don't the women just use their pockets? They wait until the cashier gives them the total before thinking about the need to use money. This involves locating their purse. They get the change and it takes them a feckin age to open the purse, put the change in, close the purse, put the purse in the handbag and then lift their goods.

Not really a grind my gear but I think it is very bad form  for you to NOT bring you tray and rubbish and empty it in the bin in McDonalds/Burger King etc after use. I know that some neothatcherites will pipe up and say (rightly) that it is someone's job to do it but still find it bad manners not to do so.

Also the lowlifes who nonchalantly discard their cigarette butts on the streets. Even worse are the uberlowlifes outside pubs who can't be arsed to  put the butt in the box put there for that reason. Makes my blood boil.

Smokers who walk infront of you down the street and blow a puff over there shoulder into your face.

Smokers who try to force you to breathe their poisonous fumes in an enclosed space and then have the nerve to call YOU! a Nazi when you say anything about it.

Smokers who put drinking beer in the same level as smoking. Me drinking a pint will not cause others to have lung cancer

People who have cats and there clothes are covered in hairs (Hate both cat and person)

People who kiss there dogs after it licked its arse.

People who believe everything the media say

Sorry off on another one there.

People who spell "there" when it should be "their".

Yep that cnut should be banned from the internet and his hand's cut off if he even touches a keyboard.

I hold my 'hands' up, I do that constantly.

Ensuring my grammar is correct on Gaaboard is vital to me

Thanks Warlock bigfella am sure in your realm life its vital to you also.  :-*

People who make an unlikely bet. And when it actually happens and they dont pay it. They just laugh it off.

I was like, no hold on here, YOU gave me those odds, I bet this much, YOU made sure we shook on it and INSISTED someone witnessed the hand shake. YOU said to me 'now if you dont get this, you have to pay me it'. I said I would. Shook on it, I was happy enough. Then when I won, you paid nothing?! I was actually raging about it. I was under the assumption when you make a bet, you pay it. Especially with the whole handshake craic. Would that not piss anyone else off?? Tell ye what too, could really do with that money these days.

When you're not drinking but someone insists on buying you an alcoholic drink anyway (after you've tried to tell him six times that you're not drinking) because they're too embarrassed to ask for a soft drink. I end up having to go to the bar myself and then they sit there in disbelief while the beer sits there right in front of me untouched.

Godwin's Law is a pathetic escape mechanism for cowards and Fascists (usually trolls) getting their arses handed to them in debate. It's nothing more than a white flag to give them time to think of an inane diversion.

If the debate is about murders, genocide, ethnic cleansing etc then it is probably reasonable to mention comparisons such as Stalin and Hitler.

However if a thread is about the local flower show, comparisons with Nazis are probably a sign that all logic has disappeared, hence Godwin's Law.

The bitch in the Spar shop today, who continued her phone call while serving me.

You still got served yeah? Where you feeling a bit low and needed someone to talk to? Hardly warrants you calling her a bitch; it's not like she was on the phone calling you a pathetic loser.

I'm with An Gaeilgoir on this one. Manners maketh the man, and they maketh the woman too. You mightn't see the value of manners but I do, they don't cost anything.

Yeah cause it's good manners to call someone a bitch. You're one loser  ::)
It wouldn't be good manners to say it to her face. It's okay to say it behind her back on a message board though. My conscience is clear.

Usually it is. If it's not safe for a car to get past when they're riding two abreast then it's not safe to get past if they were riding single file.  I see it all the time. Riders are two abreast, they hear the car coming from behind, they get single file, and the car still can't get past until a straight clear overtaking path opens up. So it makes no difference how much room they're taking up. The only difference is in the minds of the motorists.

We were riding into Point Reyes one morning in a bit of a pack, and a few cars appeared behind us.  We all got single file (except for one girl who got a bit stuck and someone had to let her in). A cop car was one of the cars behind us and the cop announced over the speakers for us to ride single file. We eventually got tightened up into single file and rode as close to the gutter as we dared.  Guess what? The cars still couldn't get past us until a mile or two later. So what difference did it make how many abreast we were riding?

Maximum of two abreast.

However if the cyclists are over-taking they must do so in single file.

No it's not - I pointed this out before, but we know you struggle with most things - UK Highway code.

66
You should

•keep both hands on the handlebars except when signalling or changing gear
•keep both feet on the pedals
never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends
•not ride close behind another vehicle
•not carry anything which will affect your balance or may get tangled up with your wheels or chain
•be considerate of other road users, particularly blind and partially sighted pedestrians. Let them know you are there when necessary, for example, by ringing your bell if you have one. It is recommended that a bell be fitted

I haven't seen a wide country road yet.

The Post Office

I went to tax the car today, the first day on my quite lengthy holidays, and tried to pay with a credit card.

"Sorry we don't accept credit cards.", says she.

"But that sign says you do - you welcome them in fact."

"That sign shouldn't be there - we don't accept credit cards.", says she.

"But I paid for my passport here with the same credit card two months ago."

"No you didn't.", says she.

"Yes, I did. I'll show you the statement on the iphone if you like."

"No, you didn't - we don't accept credit cards, never have, never will.", says she.

"OK, enjoy your summer!".

Had that happened in the last week of August the reaction would have been different.

They pay comedy writers good money to write stuff like that. Or this:

I went into the NIB branch on the South Mall in Cork the other day to pay my credit card bill. I usually do it online, so I wouldn't often be in the branch, but this time I'd missed the deadline. So I give the wan behind the counter my statement and a wad of cash.

"Sorry, I can't take that", says she.

"What? Why not?"

"This is a cashless bank", says she.

"A cashless bank? What does that mean?"

"We don't handle cash. But you can pay it in the Post Office", says she. "It's not far", she added, helpfully.

"Have I got this right? I'm here in NIB, with money for NIB, but I have to go down the street, round the corner and up to the Post Office to give it yo you?"

"That's right. I'm sorry", says she.

Sometimes I think I'm living in a Spike Milligan sketch. Just for an added head-shaking factor, when I got to the P.O., of course it was pension day. Took half an hour to get to the counter.

Don't go to the Post Office Hardy.

2 weeks ago I went to the local PO to post off scripts to Manchester through Parcelforce.

Says me: Can I send these off with Parcelforce?

PO Woman: Mmmm, I don't think so.

Me: :Yea, I sent them off from here last year. They're paid for already. You just need to give them to the Parcelforce man.

PO: We don't have a Parcelforce service.

Me: You do, he arrives every day. I see him

PO: No, you need to go to a bigger Post Office.

Me: But look - there's the Parcelforce sticker on the counter. He'll be here soon.

PO: Mmmm, I'm not sure about that. I only started on here last week.

Me: You just need to give me a receipt and give them to the Parcelforce man.

PO: You need to go to a bigger Post Office.

I left and as I walked out of the shop I was greeted by the Parcelforce van parked outside the shop door. He scanned it and just shook his head.

Such a hassle to deposit money into a business account. They can't take cash or cheques. It's the same scenario as above. If you are lucky you can use the machine (if it's working) to do it but not over the counter. You have to go to the post office or they'll give you an address to send cheques over to England.

I haven't seen a wide country road yet.

so then, is it in the highway code, or just a wives tale, that a slow moving vehicle has to pull in when there is more than 5 vehicles behind it?
If this is true, im gona buy myself a highway code book, and wave it furiously at tractor drivers ;D

Playing on the team with the extra player on astro when an odd number of players show up. A right pain in the hole. Inevitably go 4 goals down quickly as everyone looks to someone else to do the work and arguments ensue.

We just make the team with the extra man play two touch, if the teams are roughly equal there usually isn't much in it.

Independent TDs in the Dail chamber dressed like tramps.  And now something's being done about it - proper order!

QuoteDail dress code plans 'pathetic'

Friday, 8 July 2011

Proposed new rules forcing TDs to dress smartly in the Dail chamber or face being thrown out have been branded pathetic.

A Dail watchdog has recommended male deputies wear a tailored jacket, collared-shirt and trousers, while women are slightly less restricted in being banned simply from wearing jeans.

Independent TDs Mick Wallace and Luke "Ming" Flanagan, and People Before Profit's Richard Boyd-Barrett will be among those most likely to be affected by the new dress code.

Mr Boyd-Barrett would not be drawn on whether he would abide by the new rules. "It's pathetic and further evidence that we have a Government of clowns," said the Dun Laoghaire TD.

"The country is drowning in debt, we have half a million people unemployed, we have people facing the loss of their homes and cuts to the most vulnerable, and these clowns are wondering what people wear in the Dail. It's pathetic."

Mr Boyd-Barrett often wears jeans in the Dail chamber and shirts not tucked in, while Mr Flanagan wears his shirts buttoned up to the neck and out over his trousers. Wexford TD Mick Wallace brings a dash of colour to the chamber with his trademark pink shirts. None of the men wear formal jackets.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams often takes Leaders' Questions without a jacket and with his sleeves rolled up.

The rules were decided by the Dail's Committee on Procedures and Privileges, which also banned calls to premium-rate numbers from Leinster House telephones following the "Ring of Kerry" controversy.

It is understood Ceann Comhairle Sean Barrett, who chairs the committee, was driving the issue, but just one TD dissented out of the 10-strong membership.

Independent Catherine Murphy said: "There was a very strict dress code in Anglo Irish Bank. Dress codes don't necessarily mean people do things with the right motivation."

Who said anything about a fashion parade? It's a matter of showing a bit of respect for the institutions, for your constituents,  and a bit of respect for yourself. It's supposed to be a national parliament, not a f*cking pub. I see them standing up there in jeans and with a shirt hanging out and it makes me cringe with embarrassment. Bloody tramps.

It doesn't matter how fancy your jeans are. They're still jeans and if you wear them to a funeral, a wedding, a job interview, in a national parliament or any other inappropriate setting then you're a "tr**p" in my book.

People (and by people I mean women) who pretend to be/act stupid.

Why do they do this? Do they think it makes them more attractive, being an idiot? I understand there are genuinely stupid people, but there are ones who seem to go out of their way to broadcast their idiocy, over Facebook etc. One recent example I heard: "I always thought Cookstown was in Glenavy".

I agree. That Cookstown/Glenavy conundrum catches a lot of people.

Is it pronounced

Glen-avy
or
Gle-navy
or
Glen-navvy
or
Kooks-town?

Ron Atkinson used to use it a lot. Used to have soccer connotations, but I think it's sort of morphed into Lahdahn speak for 'Early'. Which is nice.

Cheaper calls than mobile phone, especially for international calls. very easy for emergency services to trace you if you ring and can't talk for some reason.  Your battery wont run out in a landline, some places like out of hours doctors need a landline to ring you back if you are sick at night or weekends etc, landlines won't loose signal.

I'm always putting my foot in it.

Once a girl from Omagh College came out to take my photograph. I thought she was pregnant, so I decided to say on the side of caution and say nothing. After a bit of chatting, I asked her does she enjoy her work. She said she did, but doesn't have much time left with maternity leave.

This was my green light, I said congratulations on the pregnancy. She threw me a dirty look and said the new mother was coming back to work, in the job she was filling in...

We didn't talk too much after that.

Fast forward to July, and the unfortunate incident in San Fran with Mark McGovern...said gimp was the first person to broadcast all over facebook a big heartfelt plea about his "good friend" Mark and how everyone required his prayers etc - which was fair enough.

Later emerged that he had only met him once and had known him a day.

Had my auld fellla over for a few weeks last year and he asked me one day on the way home from the game - who is this "mybad" fella that plays for you. There is one fecking eejit that plays with us (he owns the team) and he is fecking useless! Everytime he does anything with the ball (its usually a f**k up) he says "My bad"!

I nearly put the car off the road when my dad asked me which one mybad was.

Yes, except that that's worse - it has no name, just a picture that's supposed to be a window, from which you're supposed to deduce that this is the "Windows" button, as if you should know that the "Windows" button is where you should go when you want to stop the fecker. And when you do put your mouse over it, what comes up? "Start".

Well if you know the person sending it, and you know that they or someone close to them have suffered from cancer it might increase your awareness and the next time there is a collection or a sponsored event you might remember them and put your hand in your pocket.

Those stupid Facebook status "campaigns" that women take part in, to promote cancer awareness. How does that work, other than making you look stupid??

Well if you know the person sending it, and you know that they or someone close to them have suffered from cancer it might increase your awareness and the next time there is a collection or a sponsored event you might remember them and put your hand in your pocket.


There is no reference to cancer on the status.

Show us an example of one of these so im sure i get your drift (not a FB member)

Today's example is I'm 12 weeks and I'm craving cheese! I mean, WTF?

When you at a meeting and you have bothered to make sure you have a pen to write stuff down.... You get up and away from the table for 9 & a half seconds and when you come back some p***k - who didn't bother to bring his own - has robbed your pen... 

And then you're made feel like a bollox for asking for your pen back..

Personally I think you should be well within your rights to drag them outside into the rain - always pictured this as working best in the rain - and shoot them...

Was on the phone to Bank of America this morning for 1 hour and 4 minutes trying to sort out an issue with my online banking. Got passed to seven different people (batted back and forth between departments a few times) and every time I spoke to someone new I had to confirm my identity and and explain the story from the beginning. Motherfuckers.

Reading your dilemma, Eamonn, reminded me of the below which I received - Classic stuff and reflects your anger.

"     This is an actual letter sent to the DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) Immigration Minister. The Commonwealth Government tried desperately to censure the author, but got nowhere because every legal person who read it nearly wet themselves laughing".....


     Dear Mr. Minister,
     I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this.
     How is it that K-Mart has my address and telephone number, and knows
     that I bought a television set and golf clubs from them back in 1997,
     and yet the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born
     and on what date?
     For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand?
     My birth date you have in my Medicare information, and it is on all
     the income tax forms I've filed for the past 40 years.
     It is also on my driver's licence, on the last eight passports I've ever had, on all those
     stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off planes
     over the past 30  years.
     It's also on all those insufferable census forms that I've filled out every 5 years since 1966.
     Also...  would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is
     Audrey, my father's name is Jack, and I'd be absolutely f**king astounded if that ever
     changed between now and when I drop dead!!!...
     SHIT!  What do you people do with all this information we keep having to provide??
     I apologise, Mr. Minister.  But I'm really pissed off this morning.
     Between you and me, I've had enough of all this bullshit!
     You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my f**king address!
     What the hell is going on with your mob?  Have you got a gang of mindless
     Neanderthal arseholes working there!
     And another thing, look at my damn picture...  Do I look like Bin Laden?
     I can't even grow a beard for God's  sakes. I just want to go to New Zealand and see
     my new granddaughter.  (Yes, my son interbred with a Kiwi girl). And would someone
     please tell  me, why would you give a shit whether or not I plan on visiting a farm in the
     next 15 days? In the unlikely event I ever got the urge to do something weird to a sheep
     or a horse, believe you me, I'd  sure as hell not want to tell anyone!
     Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city, and get another
   f**king copy of my birth certificate - and to part with another $80 for the privilege of
     accessing MY OWN INFORMATION!
     Would  it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot, to assist in the
     issuance of a new passport on the same day??
     Nooooo..  that 'd  be too f**king easy and makes far too much sense.
     You would much prefer to have us running all over the place like chickens with our
     f**king heads cut off, and then having to find some 'high-society' w**ker to confirm
     that it's  really me in the goddamn photo! You know the photo... the one where we're
     not allowed to smile?! .... you f**king morons.
     Signed - An Irate Australian Citizen.
     P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture, and getting
     someone in 'high-society' to confirm that it's me? Well, my family
     has been in this country since before 1850!  In 1856, one of my
     forefathers took up arms with Peter Lalor. (You do remember the
     Eureka Stockade!!)
     I have also served in both the CMF and regular Army for something
     over 30  years (I went to Vietnam in 1967), and still have high
     security clearances. I'm also a personal friend of the president of
     the RSL... and Lt General Peter Cosgrove sends me a Christmas card
     each year.
     However, your rules require that I have to get someone "important" to
     verify who I am; You know... someone like my doctor - WHO WAS BORN
     AND RAISED IN f**king PAKISTAN !!!.....  a country where they either
     assassinate or hang their ex-Prime Ministers - and are suspended from
     the Commonwealth for not having the "right sort of government".
     You are all f**king idiots!

Happened to me before, and I grabbed a couple of bars of chocolate at the counter and said to your man to take it out of the money he dropped and put the change in the charity box.  I remember what bars i lifted cos he shouted "I need to scan them in".  Which I replied " a snickers and a lion bar"

Product or business names based on the English pronunciation of R at the end of a word (i.e. leave it silent) transposed to Ireland or Scotland where it doesn't exist in the local accent. Examples:

Cadbury's Wispa

Er.... can't think of any more offhand...  :-\

But I'm sure there's more because I remember seeing it manys a time and having my gears well and truly ground by it.

These new hand dryers you see everywhere.

The ones where you put your hands down in them, I asume you all know the ones. Now when ye turn on the tap too hard and splash water all over yourself, or lets face it, have a little splash back from the urinal, you cant dry the front of your trousers anymore, like ye could with the older standard hand dryers. So now it looks like you have pissed yourself. Great.

Why stop there in identifying redundancies?
"sit"
"devices off"
"I said fuckin sit"
"tables up"

Isn't the GAA Board is a great place to be complaining about 'redundant verbs and redundant elaborations'?

Refuse to have it increased...they base this on your use at the moment...which is obviously greater than during the summer....if you know what your bill was for the previous 12/24 months...then work out the average cost and agree to pay it.

Amazing what Ballina people do to get out of paying for their round!  :P

You do know you're allowed to turn right on red after green if you're first in line and have taken your place forward (beyond the stop line) and right? You don't stay behind the line and wait for a green arrow if there's no green arrow.

I'd imagine that's nonsense. Should you have proceeded beyond the stop line without being able to complete the turn? As far as I understand it, it's OK to turn when you can get through the yellow junction / or compete the manoeuvre

Nope didn't know that. I thought as long as I wasn't blocking the flow of traffic from the other direction of the crossroad, which I wasn't, I'd have to wait for an opportunity on green or wait for the arrow

He didn't say anything about a yellow junction. I'd be amazed if there's a box junction when there's no filter light (unless there was one that wasn't working).

That's right (I'm not sure if there was a filter light - "arrow" - that didn't work or there was no arrow), but you wait for your opportunity on green, not behind the stop line, but in the turning right position. This is how it's put in the (Irish) Rules Of The Road:


If the safe gap doesn't occur when the light are green for you, it will by default when they go red and the oncoming traffic has to stop. You now have priority to turn before the traffic coming across you from right or left.

The sound on RTE's soccer coverage being a second ahead of the picture. For Benfica's goal last night George Hamilton was screaming "it's there!!!" at the moment the player was heading the ball. Very annoying ( it would be even more annoying in a decent game) and it's something that should be simple to rectify yet it seems to have been a feature of RTE's soccer coverage for years.

The coverage for the Leinster Munster Rugby game was the very same... Had to be a good 3 seconds ahead of the picture meaning that the ball would be at the back of a ruck and the commentary would already be on around the break made in the following phase....

The RTE and TV3 commentators getting a simple things wrong. For the Arsenal Milan game a few weeks ago, George Hamilton was calling Urby Emmanuelson, Sammuelson for the whole game. The other night Mark Lawrenson was sure Nesta had given away two penalties even though Antonini had given away the first. The first one probably wouldn't have been so annoying if Arsenal weren't 4-0 down.

RTÉ's racing coverage is generally quite decent. Bob Hall has a top knowledge of the bloodstock industry and Ted is a national institution. Gleeson and Lee work well in the betting ring. Leave the fashion nonsense for Galway though. Nobody watching cares where Mary from Blessington or Nora from Two Mile House bought their hats. Show some proper shots of the horses going to post and not just a few recorded seconds of them going around the parade ring with their rugs on.

Next thing saw the outline behind me, slowed to exactly the limit, he stayed behind me for about 5 minutes. I kept checking him in my rear view mirror saying "Go on you fecker, turn off".

Next thing the lights flash, and the Dooooopp sound. So I pull over and wonder what the feck I did. Cop comes over and says I was 20 mph over the limit, and I was shocked, no way says I, I saw you in the mirror. I was conscious of my speed.

If the cop doesn't show up for the court appearance then the judge will automatically drop the ticket.  Cops write so many tickets that they seldom have time to follow up with court appearances, they just hope that most drivers will pay the fine so save the hassle and go to traffic school to keep it off their records. If you challenge the ticket then you're taking a chance though, because if the cop does show up then you're gonna have some explaining to do to the judge so you'll need to have a story ready, and you'll have to pay the fine anyway for he'll surely find you guilty unless you come up with something clever.

I got caught a beaut in Phoenix one time doing that Eamonn. Driving along about 5 miles above the limit after GAA training at about 9 at night. Next thing saw the outline behind me, slowed to exactly the limit, he stayed behind me for about 5 minutes. I kept checking him in my rear view mirror saying "Go on you fecker, turn off".

Next thing the lights flash, and the Dooooopp sound. So I pull over and wonder what the feck I did. Cop comes over and says I was 20 mph over the limit, and I was shocked, no way says I, I saw you in the mirror. I was conscious of my speed.

You were he said, smiling, except you were so busy watching us you never noticed you were going into a construction zone limit, 20mph. License and registration please sir.

Feckers.
Ouch! Feckers surely. Did you challenge the ticket?
Why would he challenge it? He was caught fair and square.

Nope, as Gazzler says, got caught rotten so I just paid it. Well played by them actually :)

Argos f**king home f**king delivery.

Something was meant to be delivered today between 8-8 so was housebound all day. At 7:30 it was looking dodgy so I phoned to find out what was wrong. Yer man said the courier attempted to deliver at 12:10 but couldn't access property which was 100% bollocks. The hoor either didn't try or went to some other part of the country. I asked why he didn't call me (either driver or Argos) and he said the drivers don't carry phones and they (the offices) only check delivery status at the end of the day (8pm). I asked what if it happens again tomorrow and he couldn't answer that and said hopefully it'll work out.

Only it's Lent I'd open the 1943 Bowmore.

In a similar vein, someone in the same office in work emailing a question to me when they're about 5 yards away - nothing confidential or anything. Open your mouth and ask me!

Ten Pin Bowling  - any sport i have tried, I have either fared ok, or (in the case of golf) can say to myself, "ok, you are crap, just enjoy the day".
But this fecker - I have never come away from a ten pin bowling game with feelings other than total disillusionment.
Last week my six year old daughter got a higher score than me.
I f***** hate ten pin bowling.

If charities are resorting to getting collectors to obstruct traffic, then it is a disaster waiting to happen. On Saturday afternoon (the charity in question will remain nameless) one collector was standing at the set of traffic lights on the southern GNR side of the Great Northern Road/Tamlaght Road/Railway Terrace junction which is chaotic and slow moving at busy periods and this time wasn't much different. Anyone who goes through the junction regularly knows that collisions can happen easier than usual due to its layout and the way the lanes are handled. If this collector or any other were to act in a fashion which contributed to an accident, they and/or their charity would be hit with a heavy bill. Not to mention that unless the driver has spare change to hand it takes time to find anything to throw into the buckets. If this causes delays just as a light turns green (and the green light doesn't last long) then there's problems. And that not to mention the possible legalities of collectors standing at the traffic lights in the first place.

Also, Irish people are in general one of the most generous givers to charity in the world through helping, volunteering or donating already (one report last year put them second behind the USA) and there's only so much blood you can get out of a stone. I refuse to donate to any charity that uses chuggers for fundraising; I don't want to be harrassed in the middle of a street nor will I give my bank details to some stranger in it. I give and contribute to charity when I can but I can't support every concern going, the same way as many GAA clubs doing development draws try to get in and go around before others in their county do, as they know if they leave it too late many potential ticket buyers simply haven't money to spend each time a club calls at their door. There is also the case of a number of charities whose running costs take up the majority of donations received leaving little left to actually help provide aid. Annoy people too much and you risk a backlash as people get fed up. Unfortunately, there are too many directors of charities who don't see aggressive methods of fundraising to be much of a problem.

Heard an interesting view on the radio today - apparently Irish companies, north and south give, on average, 0.1% of their profit to charity compared to an average of 1.2% in Britain. This guys view was that if this was increased that we would see less begging calls, therefore less staff required and increased money actually spent on the cause.
Could be BS but I thought it was an interesting angle.

I don't give to anybody in the street.  It's like feeding pigeons.  Only encourages the blackguards.  There's a handful of worthy causes I give to in my own time, and they're only ones that I know do a good job of it rather than becoming a fundraising operation almost for its own sake.  There's some cancer research outfits that seem to do nothing but raise more funds.  When I see how elaborate their fundraising efforts are I start to wonder how the hell there could be anything left to spend on actually researching the condition.  Some of them in the states, particularly concerning breast cancer and other female-specific cancers, seem to have become a fundraising industrial complex in their own right.

It seems like every time I go to pay for my groceries at Safeway I'm asked by the PIN pad if I want to make a donation to another cancer charity.  Every time I pay for pet supplies I'm asked by the machine if I want to help a homeless pet.  Pressing 'no' has become instinctive. 

And don't get me started on the homeless at the end of freeway exits.  That's flat out illegal in California, you can call the Highway Patrol and have them removed.  They can be a bit intimidating.  If you're driving with the top down they seem to take it as an open invitation to come over and start getting in your face.

Worst of all is the beggars in San Francisco. Aggressive motherfuckers. There's one petrol station in particular where they seem to hide in the bushes or somewhere and wait until you've started pumping before they appear out of the woodwork and grab the squeegee to start washing your windscreen.  I tell them to get their hands off my f***ing car and get out of my sight.  I would even say they really grind my gears. 

"Give the the needy" my hole.  When the same boy standing on the same corner has been asking you for change for five years and he doesn't seem to have all his worldly possessions with him you start to get a bit cynical after a while.  I've heard stories about them boys taking off after a day's begging and going home to an upscale apartment.

"So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3 percent of you people read books. Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers. This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world. And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people. And that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. 

So, you listen to me. Listen to me. Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the Truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear.

We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night -- all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know! You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here! You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you -- You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now! Turn them off right now! Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I'm speaking to you now. Turn them off!!"

You know how, every now and then, you're asked to vote for someone who's singing or dancing or just living in some kind of competition. Often it's a relative of a friend or whatever. I never do it because I think it's unfair to the other contestants who might well be the rightful winner. Do I need to lighten up?

Having to change the drivers seat position in the wife's car every time I get into drive it. She has it pushed forward as far as it will go and also has it in the highest position and has the angle of the seat almost vertical. Everytime I get in I have to pump the handle on the right to lower it and twist the yoke on the back to move the seat to a better angle and move the whole seat back, it takes ages to find the position I like.
It's a bit like sex really :)
Also calling it the wife's car annoys me. I'm paying for the fecking thing yet everyone calls it her car, how does that work!

Went into 3 different pubs in Dublin city yesterday to catch the 2nd half of Kilkenny Limerick hurling.
First two had Olympic Basketball on all their screens and the 3rd had the hurling on a small old TV in the corner but had Olympics on the two huge Plasma screens.
Is there no interest for hurling in our capital?

Aye shocking stuff altogether!!!!!!

That's another thing I hate;' GAA men' who would rather watch soccer of indeed the rugby over football or hurling. Take for example last year Dublin were against Donegal in the semis; I think Man Utd it was were playing a match and a few of us lads were watching the Donegal match on one of the three screens in my local. The other 2 had the soccer; which is quite normal for that bar. But slap bang in the middle of the utd supporters were the committee of the university GAA football team, including 2 donegal men. I seriously have no time for people like that; they are up there with the people I really despise the most

1.Soccer GAA wannabes
2.Bankers
3.Right-Wingers

I think that has more to do with the status of the place. If the town is bigger than where you are coming form, you are going 'up' to it regardless of which direction it is in. Someone told me before that that's how it is in the Irish language.

I  go down to Belfast and up to Dublin, as do many people I know.  I would imagine it has more to do with colloquialisms than anything else.  May have originally derived from the the Irish language or maybe it has nothing to do with it.  It certainly isn't something that warrants a gear grinding session but it is symptomatic of the style of conya (another colloquialism there!) that flows from thon gobdaw's mouth!

We always went up to Dublin, though it was South. I don't think it has anything to do with elevation, the compass or Irish. I think it's always up to the capital. In England they always go up to London from all directions. But then they also go up to Oxford and Cambridge and get sent down from them if they act the latchico.

If you think that's confusing, try dealing with directions west of the Shannon or in West Cork/Kerry. You'll be in Annascaul, heading West and you ask for directions to Ballyferriter.
"Go back to Dingle and turn right", you'll be told.
- "What? I thought I was heading towards Dingle. I know I haven't passed it already."
"No. It's a few miles on. Go back there and turn right".

This comes directly from Irish, where the same word, siar, means both backwards and westwards and it's very common, even in Limerick.

In England they always go up to London from all directions.

Don't think that's true.

I'm fairly sure it is. Certainly among the upper classes. Google "going up to London".

Do you go up to Crumlin or Antrim?

Antrim is more an "out to" place. Like Lisburn or Banbridge.

I go to the tanning salon in Crumlin.

Just googling around and some are suggesting you go "up" to London because the railways called the line towards London the "up" line and the other the "down" line. But where did they get that in the first place?

I would always say down to Dublin or up to Belfast as thats the direction its in generally. In Birmingham i've never heard anyone say up to London its always down to London.

I  go down to Belfast and up to Dublin, as do many people I know.  I would imagine it has more to do with colloquialisms than anything else.  May have originally derived from the the Irish language or maybe it has nothing to do with it.  It certainly isn't something that warrants a gear grinding session but it is symptomatic of the style of conya (another colloquialism there!) that flows from thon gobdaw's mouth!

People living north of somewhere referring to that place as "up."  For example, someone in the north saying somebody else is "up in Dublin."  To me "down in Dublin" would be more logical.

Annoys the hell out of me too. I'm going up to Dublin for the weekend, but I have to head down to Derry first. FFS!

Well in Lurgan you go "up the town" because the main street is on a ridge, where it gets its name from. No matter where in the town you are you have to go up a hill to meet your mates on the high street.  But when I worked in Belfast we'd always go "down the town" to go to the city centre from the Falls.  But from Lurgan you go "up" to Belfast or just "up to the city".

The in the states there's the old "back east" business.  From San Francisco you go "back east" to New York even if you've never been there before.  Must be because of the way the continent was settled by Europeans from the east moving westwards.

You go up the town in Lurgan, but nearly everyone says down to such and such, where ever they're going... 'Down to training' 'down to Newry' 'Down to Belfast' 'Down to Donegal' 'Down to Dublin'... Over to Portadown and out to Dungannon/The Moy/Banbridge/Moira are exceptions.

Italy's highest court says heavy use of mobile phone caused brain tumor
October 20, 2012 12:40am
13 32 0 57
ROME - Italy's supreme court has upheld a ruling that said there was a link between a business executive's brain tumour and his heavy mobile phone usage, potentially opening the door to further legal claims.

The court's decision flies in the face of much scientific opinion, which generally says there is not enough evidence to declare a link between mobile phone use and diseases such as cancer and some experts said the Italian ruling should not be used to draw wider conclusions about the subject.

"Great caution is needed before we jump to conclusions about mobile phones and brain tumours," said Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics and clinical engineering at Britain's Royal Berkshire Hospital.

The Italian case concerned company director Innocenzo Marcolini who developed a tumour in the left side of his head after using his mobile phone for 5-6 hours a day for 12 years. He normally held the phone in his left hand, while taking notes with his right hand.

Marcolini developed a so-called neurinoma affecting a cranial nerve, which was apparently not cancerous but nevertheless required surgery that badly affected his quality of life.

Yeah, t'was an old trick with the Scart Connections in the old days. You'd buy a decent DVD PLayer for a reasonable price, go home, no Scart connection. You'd go back to the shop and a decent Scart would cost you half the price of the DVD Player.

My favourite is when Radio stations say Remaining wet in the East with dry weather coming from the west. You will notice they are telling you how it is now in the west (which is no news), with no detail of what is coming from the Atlantic!

God damn assholes on Facebook, who post shit about dying people with a disease and asking for likes and shares to generate awareness and prayers.

They annoy most of the time, but I'm furious this afternoon. I've just discovered one claiming to have a child with the sam disease as me. Saying stuff like these children never live pass 20. I'm f**king 33 years old and couldn't live a fuller or happier life.

Wifi. I think people have become too dependent on it. People now go to hotels and instead of checking if the bed is dry or if there's a bar, people are going mad if there's no wifi. Myself and another person were in a complex in Ulster recently and there were these south pacificians wrecking the place because there was no wifi.

Radio One axed loudmouth DJ Chris Moyles for him. It was believed that Nick GRIMshaw would appeal to a younger audience. He runs about with Harry Styles from 1D so his 'in' celebrity appeals to the young impressionable teens. He also has a show on BBC3 called something like 'Sweat the Small Stuff'. I have never seen it but by the sounds of his own personal review of it on the radio it sounds just thrilling.

Radio One be's on in our office. I am the second youngest in here. The other's I mock saying that they are trying to hold on to their youth.

Radio One in general kind of grinds my gears- same 8/10 songs over and over. I hear 4 different DJ's during the day:
Nick The Bell-end
Fearne 'I like you on Juice but you blow on radio' Cotton
Scott Mills & then Greg James. But of which I can listen to.

All four stick to the same songs throughout the day.

Also anyone who buys drink at a pub with a laser card.

Oh and being unable to read a paper without half of it being about Love/Hate.

Nick Grimshaw.

Agreed. Can't stand him. The weemin love him though. Jesus wept.

Radio One axed loudmouth DJ Chris Moyles for him. It was believed that Nick GRIMshaw would appeal to a younger audience. He runs about with Harry Styles from 1D so his 'in' celebrity appeals to the young impressionable teens. He also has a show on BBC3 called something like 'Sweat the Small Stuff'. I have never seen it but by the sounds of his own personal review of it on the radio it sounds just thrilling.

Radio One be's on in our office. I am the second youngest in here. The other's I mock saying that they are trying to hold on to their youth.

Radio One in general kind of grinds my gears- same 8/10 songs over and over. I hear 4 different DJ's during the day:
Nick The Bell-end
Fearne 'I like you on Juice but you blow on radio' Cotton
Scott Mills & then Greg James. But of which I can listen to.

All four stick to the same songs throughout the day.

Can anyone explain this please?

Habitual present tense. Exists in Gaeilge (bíonn sé, mar shampla), but absent from the English language, so this is an attempt to compensate for that absence (the errant apostrophe notwithstanding), more often rendered as 'does be' perhaps.  :P ;)

Thank you for the succinct explanation. I really wish I had learned my grammar better.

I have heard 'does be' and 'do be' alright but never '<something> be's'.

I wasn't a particular fan of Radio 1 when I was in their core demographic and had Chris Moyles or Sarah Cox shouting at me every morning but it's beyond tripe now.

Mind you, the DJs are still better than any of the tosspots on Cool FM.

On the contrary. That was a fine example of Hiberno-English (which undermines Queenery at every opportunity). I remember enquiring about it here when a receptionist on the phone in Tyrone said to me, "I'll check the computer room - he usually bees there". 'Does be' and 'do be' are the more common version throughout the 26 counties, I'd say.

Excellent explanation FóSB.

From "English As We Speak It In Ireland" by P.W. Joyce:

In the Irish language (but not in English) there is what is called the consuetudinal tense, i.e. denoting habitual action or existence. It is a very convenient tense, so much so that the Irish, feeling the want of it in their English, have created one by the use of the word do with be: 'I do be at my lessons every evening from 8 to 9 o'clock.' 'There does be a meeting of the company every Tuesday.' ''Tis humbuggin' me they do be.' ('Knocknagow.')

Sometimes this is expressed by be alone without the do; but here the be is also often used in the ordinary sense of is without any consuetudinal meaning. 'My father bees always at home in the morning': 'At night while I bees reading my wife bees knitting.' (Consuetudinal.) 'You had better not wait till it bees night.' (Indicative.)

'I'll seek out my Blackbird wherever he be.' (Indicative.) (Old Folk Song—'The Blackbird.')

This use of be for is is common in the eastern half of Ireland from Wexford to Antrim.

Chicargo

Reminds me of an event in boarding school many years ago.

A number of us had spent the summer abroad and on our return in September one of the priests was asking us where we had all been. There was an interesting variety of answers given but we all raised our eyebrows when a difficult guy with many problems who, shall we say, was unlikely to have had either the money or permission to go anywhere, unless he ran away, announced that he had been in California.

The priest was as surprised as the rest of us and asked him what city had he been in.

"Chicargo!" he confidently replied.

The priest smiled and asked him what airport had he landed in.

"Dunno" our man replied, "I was asleep when we got off the airplane".

Similar enough set up to us Dinny. Give them an episode of the Waybullos in the evening to calm them down before bed whereas before they used to be mesmerised by segments on the news, etc. So that got canned and as well as reducing the negativity they are now colouring in and reading books, if not using me as an emergency stop for a full room sprint. Liking the sound of a family movie.

I presume this is what you're talking about Dinny. From Midland's Radio. And it's your own fault. Seanie Johnston shouldn't have been playing scrum half for ye.

QuoteCill Dara statement

There was mixed news from tonight's appeal to last week's Leinster Rugby Competitions Committee ruling and 12 point deduction.

On appeal, the Competitions Committee reduced the severity of the punishment listed in last week's ruling on a player transfer irregularity and halved the 12 point deduction to a deduction of 6 points. This means that Cill Dara now sit in 7th place in the league, two points ahead of the bottom cub, Tullow. A win at home to the league champions, Wanderers FC, this Sunday will, at the very least, place Cill Dara in a relegation play-off with Monkstown FC.

However, tonight also brought news of a new and separate objection by Roscrea RFC to their defeat by Cill Dara in the Provincial Towns Cup. Based on the fact that the player subject of the transfer administration error had participated in that Cill Dara cup victory, Roscrea objected to the result of the game. Their objection was upheld and Cill Dara were disqualified from the Towns Cup. Roscrea will now take Cill Dara's place in the 2nd round and travel to play Midland Warriors on Sunday March 16th.

The entire club, in particular the players and mentors of the senior squad, are devastated at the news of the cup disqualification. The focus now turns to the final match in the league and probably the biggest game in Cill Dara's history.

As a club, Cill Dara remains united and stronger as a result of the events of the last few days.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: Dinny Breen on March 05, 2014, 03:13:42 PM
That would be it, they should appeal to the DRA.
Quote
The decision hinges on the committee's interpretation that the player was illegal. Our view is that the player signed a transfer form, the player wanted to play for Cill Dara RFC and that in an email his previous club confirmed they had no issue with transferring him to Cill Dara. We also received an email from Leinster Rugby confirming the transfer; nobody had any reason to question the validity of the transfer. If anything this case has shown that the transfer process is somewhat flawed and we have paid the ultimate penalty.

So last night we were like Michael Collins returning from Downing Street after the treaty. We had done our best and in mitigation had gotten the 12 point's reduced to 6 point's. But we knew people would see this as a hollow victory. But an improvement it is, our destiny is now in our own hands, we go in to next Sunday knowing a victory will mean we retain our division 1A status.

Other clubs will have to look at their role in this whole debacle, but that is outside of our control. I would also like to thank the many clubs who have been on to offer their support; it restores faith in the greater rugby community.

Kelloggs!

They've a yoke called "Special K Porridge", with the top corner emblazoned with "30% LESS FAT than regular porridge"

Regular porridge has 100% oats as ingredients. The Special K porridge has 88% oats/barley and the rest sugar and other unpronouceable stuff.

Saturated fat (per 100g) is 1.2g in regular porridge. With Special K its down to 0.9g - negligible difference, but enough to give them their 30% reduction as advertised!

Sugar content in regular porridge is 1.5g. With Special K its 14g. Nearly 10 times more!

Bashtids.

A pity Flahavans or the like wouldnt have the balls to advertise their porridge as "89% less sugar than Special K porridge"

Good stuff Hound. You'd think that they would be in breach of some advertising law or standard.  It's a pretty blatant case of false advertising. Usually, when advertisers want to lie, they're a bit more vague. They might say 30% less fat, without saying what it's 30% less than.

"We are seeing a fundamental shift in consumer habits and behaviours," Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo chief executive, told investors last week. She was talking about "an accelerated decline in diet drinks" as consumers wary of aspartame and other artificial sugar substitutes are demanding naturally sweetened drinks.

That push is also behind Coca-Cola's move to replace Sprite in the UK and France with a lower-calorie version sweetened with sugar and stevia – a plant-derived sweetener – and the June launch of similarly formulated "Coca-Cola Life" in Argentina.

Coke also recently patented a stevia product that analysts say may be used in zero-calorie drinks, while Pepsi is working on its own natural sweetener.

Sales of sugary drinks have been falling for years, with fizzy drinks now making up about 40 per cent of the US beverage market, compared with more than 50 per cent a decade ago, Ms Nooyi said. But now diet drinks are struggling too.

Sales of Diet Coke fell 3 per cent last year, compared with Coke's 1 per cent decline, while Diet Pepsi's 6.2 per cent drop was nearly double the 3.4 per cent decrease for Pepsi, according to Beverage Digest.

Diet Coke and similar food and drinks "are under a bit of pressure as people are questioning ingredients [and] ingredient safety," said Steve Cahillane, who heads Coca-Cola's North American and Latin American business.

The focus on healthier options is spreading throughout the food sector. In snacks, companies such as General Mills and Danone are playing catch-up to upstart Chobani, which has ignited a craze for Greek yoghurt.

Dan Wald of Boston Consulting Group said the packaged foods industry alone has a $150bn annual US sales opportunity in healthier food, which will grow 4 per cent annually.

Fast-food chains are not immune either. Amid continued criticism of its role in the US obesity epidemic, McDonald's last month said it would only advertise milk, juice and water with Happy Meals. It would also offer fruit, salads and vegetables as alternatives to fries in value meals. The move followed Burger King's introduction of reduced-fat, reduced-calorie fries.


http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/06/supermarket-frozen-chicken-breasts-water

In a separate development, the Guardian has also learned that the UK authorities began collecting chicken fillets for testing by the FSA from a wide range of other outlets in March following intelligence that fraud may be involved in their labelling.
There are fears that undeclared proteins, some extracted from pig and beef waste and cattle bones, may be being added to frozen wholesale chicken sold to the catering trade, such as fast food outlets and Chinese and Indian restaurants. However, the tests will not be completed until next March.
Following on from the horse meat scandal, in which high street retailers and fast food outlets were caught selling cheap frozen burgers and beef mince adulterated with horse, the revelations will add to concern that the mainstream meat industry in the UK is no longer being properly policed.

The FSA survey of chicken breasts for protein from other species is understood to arise from concerns raised by the horse meat scandal.
Chicken bulked up with water is also being widely used in the food service sector, particularly by fast food restaurants.
Industry trade literature shows that some companies are marketing poultry pumped with 30% water as a way of cutting costs.
Dr Duncan Campbell, a former president of the Association of Public Analysts, said it had become the norm to find levels of water even higher than this. "When we last looked, 40% added water in wholesale frozen chicken breasts was not uncommon. Consumers are being swindled."
Industry sources said that the recession has led to increasing pressure to keep costs down by using higher levels of water – which is legal if it is declared, although consumers do not see the labels in restaurants. The attraction of processed chicken imports from Brazil is that they are charged a lower EU tariff than untreated chicken, saving importers who exploit the loophole millions of euros each month.

Anyone who is stupid enough to fall for ad campaigns like that deserve what they get.

It pretty clearly isn't false advertising - they have cut the fat by 30%, they're entitled to advertise that.

We should have the brains to look behind the headline, in every aspect of life.

:o It pretty clearly is false advertising if they said "30% less fat than regular porridge"  when it actually contains 10 times more.

You must be one of the ones who fall for this shit  ;D

It doesnt contain 10 times more fat, it contains 30% less. Hound said it contained 10 times more sugar.

People saying "I've said it before and I'll say it again" as if repetition makes their statement any more valid.

Using the speakerphone does not make it hands free if you are holding it.

Related: In American shops they have a fierce habit of putting the dollar bills on your hand and setting the coins on top. The problem with this is either the coins slide off and end up on the floor, or you have to drop everything and rush to catch them before they do. Either way it's awkward. I appreciate it when they put the coins in your hand first and put the bills on top. When they do it the wrong way I've been known to give them a bit of advice about how to do it right.

Related: In American shops they have a fierce habit of putting the dollar bills on your hand and setting the coins on top. The problem with this is either the coins slide off and end up on the floor, or you have to drop everything and rush to catch them before they do. Either way it's awkward. I appreciate it when they put the coins in your hand first and put the bills on top. When they do it the wrong way I've been known to give them a bit of advice about how to do it right.

I bet they love you.

Incidentally, I much rather have the paper notes first and the coins on top.

Definitely. Weighs the notes down.

Post by: ONeill on March 27, 2015, 09:45:52 PM
Heading home from work the other day. About 3:34. Yes, it was a long day.

Country road. Only me. Sailing along listening to Chris de Burgh.

I admit I was probably over the middle of the road....but.

Police car arrives in the distance...about 500 yards in front of me.

I straighten her up and we saunter past each other...I lift my finger in acknowledgement.

He passes but I see him braking, turns and follows me. Blue lights flash.

I pull over and he says have ye any identification. I says no and he says not even a bank card. I show him the card and he says do ye know why I've pulled you over.

Says I, was it because I was over the middle of the road a while back? He says aye. I says at this road is full of potholes and I was probably just avoiding one as I received a puncture on this road earlier in the week. (true)

He says, well, I'm going to breathalyse ye. He asks had I a drink in the last 20mins. Says I no, I'm just coming from school.

Test done and zero. He says I'm going to give you this ticket and you have to go to a police station with your license within 7 days or you're breaking the law.

No car passed us during any of the time spent at this palaver.

Couldn't find the license at all.

Found it after 3 days in a tin of beans. (true).

Moral of story....keep her left.

Absolutely. You turn the receiving hand to the side, and slip the coins into the free hand (you obviously have yet to pick up your bag of Bushmills, Penthouse Letters, and Whiskas). Then you pocket the coins with the free hand, and are left with 2 hands to open the wallet and put the notes in. Unless you have a purse - then it's a different proposition.

Or alternatively - you can use your debit card for everything - but apparently that's a gear grinder too.

I used to like him when I thought he actually had something to say. Now he's just a yap whose every word, regardless of sense or wit, gets lapped up by an adoring fan base who think he's the second coming of Ali's mouth. At press date for the Aldo fight in Rio last week he came out with something along the lines of "back in the day I'd ride into your favela on horseback and gun you down". Gibberish.

He's a nob. A mouthy nob. But that's part of his image, that's probably why he's getting these fights. He is so obviously ripping off Ali it's not funny, and I actually hope the Brazilian lad kicks the shite out of him.

To be honest I can't stomach MMA anyway, it's far too raw and reminds me of a dirty row you'd see on the the street, elbows, knees and kicks.

The thing is, he hasn't even earned this fight yet. He's had some good wins and looked dominant but there are guys ranked above him who deserved a shot at Aldo before he did. He's very much Dana's guy and if he doesn't follow that through, which I don't think he will, he could end up getting discarded as quickly as he was anointed. I won't go so far as to say I hope he loses but I'm not far off it.

Lookit is great. And "so" at the end of the sentence is OK, though I don't know where you picked it up if you haven't lived in Cork. (You can't buy anything in Cork without being told "that's four-fifty so".)

I'm talking about this sort of stuff that makes my ears bleed:
Cathal Mac Coille -  Professor Hairyears, tell us about this research.
Prof. H. - So we've been looking at how atoms of horseshit coagulate to form molecules of trendyspeak ...
CMcC - And what have you found?
Prof. H. - So it turns out that bulldung is actually the key ingredient ...
CMcC - What are the implications of this discovery?
Prof. H. - So it appears that this stuff is a fuckin epidemic.
Etc., etc.


(Speaking of which - excetera for etcetera.)

Maybe so. Have to say the frozen Chinese/ Indian meals from Aldi and Lidle are very nice. E2 or E3 each. If you follow the package cooking guidelines though half of it will still be frozen though when you eat it.

That's an older generation. My father would have pronounced 'Power' as 'Pire' and 'Tower' as 'Tire' but its an old thing but I've never heard someone pronounce 'Boy' as 'Bie'.  That's more Tyrone, Down, Armagh.

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.

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.

Birmingham City seem to get by alright.

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.

Agreed.

I think we should introduce this here, in the interests of democracy of course. I bet we would get a much higher turnout at election time as well.

Murphy, despite his Mayo connections, would be very high on my list.

Front page headline in Irish Times today:

State may gain up to €620m in Pfizer deal

Explanation in the piece:

Ireland's exchequer is in line for an annual boost of up to €620 million following Pfizer's acquisition of Allergan and Pfizer then moving its corporate HQ to Dublin.

Pfizer had international revenue last year of $28.5 billion and a group profit margin of 18.4%, therefore international profits of $5.3 billion, translating to a tax bill of €620 million using today's FX rate and Ireland's 12.5% tax rate, if it was all taxed here


The reality is that moving headquarters alone to Ireland doesn't result in one single extra cent of profits in Ireland and therefore no extra tax revenues. International profits continue to be taxed in the international locations. Only difference is the US have a rule where they can also tax international profits if the top company in the group is a US company. Ireland, like a lot of other countries, has no such rule.

So the Irish Times front page revelation is a complete fiction! (But will be picked up by media all around the world to further blacken our reputation)

Especially in California, if it is yellow let it mellow, if it is brown flush it down.

Exactly...you get up to wipe your hole and the feckin thing flushes. Then you have to sit down again after wiping your hole so it will flush again when you get up.

Tracking Online shopping. Wtf is the point.

Ordered something on 3rd Dec. Should only be 3/4 days I thought, not like it's coming from Europe or US or wherever.

Get an email on the 7th. Thinking it would tell me item is delivered or something...

oh no

"We have dispatched the item".

Right ok.

Will only be another day or two at least. I'll just keep checking.

Its now the 12th. Been tracking it ever since and it's been sat in the local sorting office this past three days  >:(

BMW, Audis and Mercs are in the top 4 with Honda. I'd agree with it. In my experience BMW drivers are in general, particularly obnoxious.

Anybody that goes into a showroom and buys a new car only to lose 25-40% of the value of it as soon as they stick a set of plates on it needs their head examined.

And if some people decide they want a nice second hand car, well sure that's their lookout.  I'm sure they won't be giving a shit about you in the 1.0L Liana as you drive past in your jealous rage.

The biggest t*ts on the road are not Audi or BMW drivers, they are the tossers in the jeeps.  Driving up the Newry Armagh road this morning on a straight part of the road (doing 65-70 mph) and a bollox in a Range Rover tried to overtake me and two cars in front of me when there was a car turning into a side road on the right...near wiped us all out. The road had chevrons on it to stop people doing what he did...he was in the middle of them when he had to brake I gave him a blast on the horn as he was alongside me when he had to brake.  Most of us would have sat back on making this mistake but he proceeded at the earliest opportunity to go again.  On the way past he leaned over to give ME the dirty look..... >:( >:(.

Actually with all the dealer discounts (finance contributions if you need too & lower Apr rates for new) the difference is minimal. Depending on the model and dealer needing to make targets; you can negotiate some great discounts which heavily negate the depreciation.

Gone are the days cash was king and if you are paying cash, it's nearly always better to take the finance from the dealer (as there is usually no early settlement charges) so you can get a additional deposit contribution and then just settle the next week with the finance company for the cash price (you can only be charged interest for the length of the finance period).

Very few cars lose anything near 40% coming of the forecourt. Certainly none of the premium brands derided in the last few posts won't. If it does, then you payed to much or you bought something sh1te.

Never bought brand new in my life.  This quote is taken from the AA website.

A new car loses value as soon as you drive off the forecourt and by the end of the first year will have lost around 40% of its value. This varies a lot though and the best may lose as little as 10%.

A new car loses value as soon as you drive off the forecourt and by the end of the first year will have lost around 40% of its value. This varies a lot though and the best may lose as little as 10%.

http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-buyers-guide/cbg_depreciation.html

Let some other guy run it in for 10-20k miles, offer them £10k less than they paid for it and pocket his last two year's warranty.

And we now have the added bonus of sending Green Fields into a bit of a tailspin (pardon the pun)...

Most new cars don't need much run in as the engines are broken in during manufacturing.

Also I'd take a lot of those articles with a pinch or salt as they are usually calculated of the list price. I got 22% off the list price and a further 1750 quid my last purchase. I could only negioate a 1.5 year old (less spec'd version) to within a difference of 3k.

It wasn't worth buying 2nd hand but again all this depends on brand/model/dealer targets etc.... Although I did by a model that would sent Green Fields through the roof  ;)

And 90% of them are driving second hand cars, because folk like laoislad would rather pay through the nose for a second hand status symbol than get a car practical and affordable to their lifestyle.

Anybody that goes into a showroom and buys a new car only to lose 25-40% of the value of it as soon as they stick a set of plates on it needs their head examined.

And if some people decide they want a nice second hand car, well sure that's their lookout.  I'm sure they won't be giving a shit about you in the 1.0L Liana as you drive past in your jealous rage.

Is there a connection between the Green Fields and the Green Eyed Monster...

Seriously Green Fields what's your problem?

You started off having a go at drivers who take up two spaces(and rightly so) and now you are insulting those who like to drive a nice premium brand car.
Personally, I would prefer to buy a 2 or 3 year old Audi,BMW or whatever than buy a brand new Renault or something.

Some people worry about what year is on their number plate but have to buy a cheap brand to do so(you could say these people also see this as a status symbol) and then there are others who like a more upmarket car but have to buy second hand to do so,as I said I know which one I'd prefer.

I have seen cars off all makes take up two spaces or park in disabled spaces or whatever.

Rightly so; I don't want some peasant in a Renault, Peugeot, Kia, etc.... near my car. Hate to think what they could do to it if they take a fit of jealousy. I think there should be segregated car parks for them or better still ban their sh1teboxes from the road so there is less congestion for the rest of us.

Why not?. Are you seriously suggesting that the major supermarkets cannot afford to comply with the basic requirements in law for ALL their customers.  They employ security staff inside their stores and staff to collect abandoned trolleys in the car parks. Either of these roles could be expanded to ensure their parking guidelines are observed.

Why go to the bother of painting disabled parking spaces if you have no policy of enforcing them?

They won't make money out of enforcing it. They will by having security to deter shoplifters and a constant supply of trolleys to prevent customers going elsewhere.

They may be in some cases. If they have a disabled badge my base assumption is that anyone who knows what it is like to care for a disabled person would not abuse that badge. However on umpteen occasions I have seen able bodied  people walk out with the shopping and get into a car with not a disabled person in sight. I am perhaps very righteous about this because it is a new situation for us but it drives me bananas.

Wasnt someone who had a badge just some c*nt but i I called a guy out on it recently and he said sure it was only 5 minutes. it might be 5 minutes for him but it could be 15 minutes till I find a bloody parking and my kid going absolutely apeshit in the back all the while (if we have to drive more than about 15 minutes we will only do so when she is sound asleep as she just gets too stressed in the car seat)

It's extremely difficult to police disabled parking, not everyone with a disability is in a wheel chair. People may seem okay but they may well have a disability that you don't know about. All public disabled parking bays are not allowed to display a wheel chair symbol in the space for this reason although private parking like super markets still use the symbol. TBH I'd say there are only very small minority who would abuse the system and I'd say it would be extremely rare for someone with a disability that can't get a disabled parking bay to park in.

True there may not be disabilities you might not notice but pretty sure not the case in these instances. Not sure what situation is like at home but am living in Madrid and can tell you happens a lot more often than you might expect. As redone says if there are ample spaces and you are hopping in and out I don't have a problem but relity is that in any city centre shopping centre or supermarket you never get enough spaces - would be exceptionally rare that we can drive in and just find a free disabled bay. As I said, perhaps is because is a recent thing for us drives me crazy- which is what this thread is about!

The description as disabled spaces isnt entirely correct either. The spaces are generally allocated as part of the Blue Badge Scheme and primarily for people with severe walking impairments. They are not for pregnant women, people with heavy shopping or multiple children. None of these are a genuine disability. It is a criminal offence to use the blue badge illegally but not to park in their spaces without the badge as far as I know. I don't think anyone would take exception to someone parking in these spaces with has a temporary disability like a broken leg etc.

The main issue in NI is that half the place are claiming DLA (I would suspect a huge percentage are swinging the lead) so they will all think they have an entitlement to these spaces.

I found it noticeable that the Sainsbury's in the Kennedy Centre in West Belfast has a huge number of disabled and mother and baby spaces.

Train etiquette.  People who think that their handbag deserves a seat before a paying customer.  People who think their balls are so big that their leg needs to encroach onto the seat beside them.

All of the above and also people who get on early in the morning and have a full blown conversation with their friend when everyone is trying to sleep, people who have 'interesting' smells is annoying to although I think thats any situation although on the train its worse...

Lol...i need to sit with the legs open on the train or my balls would pop, the bag on the seat is bad in fairness. Longshanks you're obviously one of the grumpy hoors on the train that give chirpy people like me dirty looks in the morning to "shut the F**k up".

Was at the Cinema once with a friend! The person behind my friend at the Cinema spent a half an hour kicking the back of my friends seat. My friend would every now and again look back every now a again with a dirty look! But to no avail. Anyway it reached a peak of annoyance for my friend that he proceeded in a fit of anger to get out of his seat and go into the seat behind the annoying person. He proceeded to kick your mans seat for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile I'm sitting there in my original seat thinking this is going to get serious. Luckily it didn't! My friend returned seat and the annoying person got the message after a fairly demonstrative hint!

It is common everywhere, although while in CA last year I was surprised to see some guy whizzing along on the I405 with no lights of any sort.

They are always the brain dead types who ignore you even if you flash your lights to remind them.

I've had to replace both chargers because the wires are so shite and the same with the iPhone earphones. The Samsung earphones are just f**king stupid.

Freestaters + roundabouts =  :o

Nordies + more than one lane = Silverstone
I know the motorway concept is still a bit newish to some free staters... you are allowed to go over 80kph  ;)
The reason they needed all the long wide stretches of motorway was down to the concept of a roundabout being too confusing.

There were 193 road deaths in the 26 counties in 2014.

There were 79 road deaths in the 6 counties in 2014.

The ratio is roughly the same as the population of the 6 & 26. Thus we are equally crap drivers.

Although we are badly dragged down by our Roscommon drivers who, while proclaiming themselves to be the greatest drivers in Ireland, still manage to triple-park the only 3 cars in parking hotspots such as Tulsk.

When you call up to cancel a service nowadays they want to have a conversation about it and try to talk you around into staying. "Can I ask why you want to cancel the service? Are you aware of the upcoming special blah blah blah...........".
If you can sign up for the service at the click of a button you should be able to cancel with the same ease.

Talking about "skillsets", "soft hands" and "what a wonderful footballer"  a lad is, when all that's really happening is a load of over-sized men running into each other, over and over again, only interrupted when the one actual footballer on the team hoofs the ball out of play.

Agreed, the clue is in the word indicate.

Having said that, a conscientious person that usually indicates in good time may have forgotten on this one occasion and thought it best to make the token gesture.

We have spaces in a busy public car park in the city centre.  There's a guy in there who ALWAYS parks just over a second space at a weird angle so that no other car will try to park in beside him in order to protect his precious Mercedes.  Really really selfish and arrogant.

Id always park the van up beside tosspots like that ;D

Agree with Laoislad though.  Would usually park well away from people when ye can, making it easier to get the kids out of the car and avoiding any dings.  Annoying when someone pulls right in beside you when there is plenty of spaces

Foolish endeavor in my opinion. There will almost always be someone desperate in a smaller car who will fit in next to you and your chances of getting dinged are higher.  Plus the indignant who might just ding you out of spite.

I'm a far away parker myself, mostly out of impatience as I can walk to the store quicker than I can drive around to get a closer spot. Took the same approach in the banged up Mazda as I do in the new wagon! Problem is the new wagon is nice and you can feel the judgement from those deplorables. Accidentally parked close to the line one afternoon and the paranoia that I'd have been deemed to protecting my nice new car made me go back and move it!

Mate of mine came back to his car to see a woman, who was loading her car, had left a bag on HIS bonnet. When he asked her wtf she was doing, she said the bag would get wet if it was on the ground.

Is that such a big deal? Unless she was throwing a bale of briquettes on it I wouldn't worry about something like that.

Yes it is, water based paints chip very easily. Try getting a Cnut like that to pay for a bonnet respray or a paint correction.

First world problems, you have little to be worried about than precious getting a chip.  As for describing a woman as a cnut for trying to get the shopping into the car, says more about you to be honest.

Or maybe she just didn't think - but let the interweb warriors judge and berate her for a simple mistake and she is a cnut, selfish, lazy and arrogant - when your driving precious do you always indicate, travel at the correct speed, keep safe distance behind, use your lights correct, never use the phone, never be distracted etc. or maybe sometimes you make a mistake that causes someone else to take action, are you a selfish, lazy, arrogant cnut or as long as precious is ok do you not care about anyone else?

Sorry were you there to see the incident, you don't know the circumstances, no doubt muppet will paint a picture of a selfish woman as he loves the attention and the likes to rack up the posts, but if for a split second she sat a bag on the car to open her door for example she is no more lazy, selfish or arrogant - but for you to say you are the perfect driver - I'd say you are bar the bigfella the most arrogant person on here.

A scratch can cost hundreds of euros to repair. It can knock value off your car when you go to sell it as it.

They are damaging your property, to avoid damaging their own, and it will cost you money (unless your vehicle has little or no value).

What if someone lifted your new camera and had a fiddle with the buttons without your permission? Fwiw,  the woman in question is a chancer,  no more no less.  Most women are fairly crazed when out shopping.  I know my wife comes home from Sainsburys with some head on her at times.

I would have set my shopping on her car, and said "hello princess. Need any help?" This would have achieved the following:
A) diffused any potential conflict
B) gauged if she was a chancer
C) established equilibrium
D) broken the ice with a cute chick
E) created the opportunity for a hot date - I can imagine the after dinner wedding speech covering how they met and laughing about it

I wouldn't even have noticed that there was anything wrong. There's a bag on my bonnet. The woman is stowing her shopping. I have no sense of imminent threat to my car or my financial security. It wouldn't occur to me to be upset. WTF?

I just don't get this car fetish stuff. I see lads who clearly don't care how they look themselves, judging by the dimensions of their guts or their general state of presentation who will have a full on seizure at the thought of their car getting a scratch. It's outside my understanding altogether.

It's only a metal/plastic platform on wheels that's useful for getting you about the place. If you're seeing it as something more than that you should be giving your head a shake.

Surely it boils down to respecting other people's property. Lumping a big suitcase on someone else's car isn't respecting someone's property.
It doesn't matter if the car is a heap of shite or an expensive top of the range BMW.I wouldn't do it to someone else's car therefore I don't want it done to mine.

Also wanting to keep your car free of dents and scratches is hardly having a car fetish. Does keeping my house clean and tidy mean I have a house fetish or just that I take care of things I work hard to get.

Some people are into their cars, others their houses, others their clothes, others toy trains etc. It surely isn't hard to understand someone being defensive about something they are obviously into. I like my cars, can't really afford what I would like, but would still try and keep mine tidy and clean. Some people like to be out in the best shirts, shoes etc. I'd have no interest in that. But I don't look down my nose at anyone who does. Each to their own and all that.

The 12 bloody pubs of Christmas... What's that all about?? My wee town was absolutely awash last night with young ones (and some who were old enough to know better) in dodgy attire making a nuisance of themselves.. What's wrong with drinking 12 pints in the one pub like we used to do back in the day?

Bah humbug

So last night on twitter from a news site - Belfast christmas market evacuated due to stabbing someone being stabbed and requiring medical attention. I go to Facebook to see several photos of people at belfast christmas market with no abandonment.

Then this morning police say there was no one else involved in the incident.

So what are we to believe? Someone went down to the christmas market and stabbed themselves?? (Don't get me wrong it's not implausible but even so)

(Oh and now it is near the christmas market).

Jesus H Christ this is like talking to a brick wall.

Let's try this again. And I'm going to explain it nice and slowly because it's clear that you're a bit of a simpleton.

People with disabilities can have children.
Infertile couples can have children.
Gay couples can have children.

Why is it less acceptable for gay couples to have children than for any of the other categories? And for that matter, why should it be less acceptable for a gay couple to have children than for a hate-filled, conservative, Fox-news-watching, Breitbart-reading, reality-averse maniac like you to have children?

And then show total disdain for kids, why do you care who has kids you obviously view them with contempt.

I grew up in an era when children were to be seen and not heard. Any answering back to parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles would have been met with a sharp rebuttal and some kind of punishment.

What it taught me was respect for my elders, which was no bad thing at all.

Yup. In my day you had to turn the TV off and come to the table for your dinner. You ate what was put in front of you and you had to be respectful. When adults were talking you kept quiet.

Nowadays kids have a screen with them wherever they go and they feel entitled to be entertained every waking second. They feel entitled to be the centre of all attention constantly and they don't have to pick their toys up when they're done with them.

I ran a 10k race on Thanksgiving and there was a fella running along pushing a pram. The child in the pram had a tablet computer with her. Like running through the streets on such a beautiful morning wasn't entertained enough, she had to have a screen in front of her face the whole time. And don't get me started on the minivans with their DVD entertainment system in the back seat. In my day you made conversation or read a comic or a book or found some way to amuse yourself. We did tally marks to count different makes or models of cars, I'd count different brands of petrol station along the way. Anything to pass a bit of time and make it a bit more interesting.

Kids change with every generation! You've just got to be adaptable, down time with tablets is a must but ya can't complain about kids using them after buying them and also being on them yourself for an age, monkey sees monkey does!!!

If they show no respect then they learn that from their parents!

Yup. In my day you had to turn the TV off and come to the table for your dinner. You ate what was put in front of you and you had to be respectful. When adults were talking you kept quiet.

Nowadays kids have a screen with them wherever they go and they feel entitled to be entertained every waking second. They feel entitled to be the centre of all attention constantly and they don't have to pick their toys up when they're done with them.

In my day two homosexual men couldn't adopt a child, what's your point, you accept homosexual men adopting kids but your obvious disdain for kids proves your chic liberalism is just that  - you are full of shit.

I grew up in an era when children were to be seen and not heard. Any answering back to parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles would have been met with a sharp rebuttal and some kind of punishment.

What it taught me was respect for my elders, which was no bad thing at all.

Catch a f**king grip of yourself Orior - children should also be shown respect, though I think you are trying to be funny, if children feel unable to ask questions or counter what an adult is saying if they think it is wrong how is that correct.  No wonder so many poor kids suffer in silence when they can't approach their parents without fear or rebuttal or punishment.

The technology is grand, even necessary, once it's rationed. Kids in general are allowed to spend way too much time on tablets and phones by parents who can't be bothered parenting. I don't understand the decision(on a planet that's being destroyed by overpopulation) by some people to have 3/4/5 kids when it's clear they'd rather be doing other things, but the most obvious motivation seems to be that they can post cute pics of them on social media. I'm far from a perfect parent myself of course.

Getting back to the good old days we went out at breakfast at weekends or after tea at weekdays and came home for food and bed.  That was common place around the estates why did folk have 3,4 or 5 kids then? Your slur on lazy parenting beacause a child watches tv or plays a computer game is ridiculous.

Jesus H Christ this is like talking to a brick wall.

Let's try this again. And I'm going to explain it nice and slowly because it's clear that you're a bit of a simpleton.

People with disabilities can have children.
Infertile couples can have children.
Gay couples can have children.

Why is it less acceptable for gay couples to have children than for any of the other categories? And for that matter, why should it be less acceptable for a gay couple to have children than for a hate-filled, conservative, Fox-news-watching, Breitbart-reading, reality-averse maniac like you to have children?

And then show total disdain for kids, why do you care who has kids you obviously view them with contempt.

In eamon's world kids are something you can order off Amazon as the fancy takes you. Screw stability.

Back when I played soccer we never really had fancy showers unless we played one or two of the fancier city clubs.
All we'd have to get togged out in was the back of a car boot. Most Sunday you'd just leave the togs and socks(and shinpads even sometimes!) on and throw a tracksuit on and head to the pub for a few sandwiches and soup (and maybe a few pints)that the team you were playing had laid on,before going home for a shower. Used to be pretty mucky as most pitches would have been in a poor state.

Lots of schools don't open their changing rooms for after school sport as they need to be cleared for the next day and the caretaker is probably away home. The missus regularly lifts our boys standing shivering outside school, covered in clabber.

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'.

Mini-roundabouts. Approach these in the same way as normal roundabouts. All vehicles MUST pass round the central markings except large vehicles which are physically incapable of doing so. Remember, there is less space to manoeuvre and less time to signal. Avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts. Beware of others doing this.

A 40' Lorry can't drive around a mini round about (Fact), in fact a car has difficulty doing a 360 around it. Technically you are supposed to deflect slightly off the main carriageway and go arund it and if it's set out properly it will not run straight with the carriageway but large vehicles will have to drive thru the middle of it...

Hope that settles your tiff ;)

A 40' Lorry can't drive around a mini round about (Fact), in fact a car has difficulty doing a 360 around it. Technically you are supposed to deflect slightly off the main carriageway and go arund it and if it's set out properly it will not run straight with the carriageway but large vehicles will have to drive thru the middle of it...

Hope that settles your tiff ;)

No tiff, i just like dealing in facts.  :)

Driving out over the top of it or just cutting across before it completely  >:(

That's what it is designed for, hence the name mini roundabout.  You have f**king little to be worried about kid.
if its a round about your supposed to go around it , hence the name  ???

It's designed so that it can be driven over, as it is a mini roundabout and some vehicles have to do it, else it would be a big yoke with trees in the middle.  Any bit you not following?

I'd say he's just about right.  The bit below was the clincher;

All vehicles MUST pass round the central markings

All vehicles can't hence it's design, so it can be driven over.

Yes, it CAN be driven over, and is designed as such.  But only in the case where it's impossible to do anything else.  Much like a crash helmet I suppose.

Au contraire, the original poster was pissed off at people driving over mini roundabouts, they are designed to be driven over as some vehicles have no choice in the matter, hope that clarifies that for you.

Im with Punt on this.  Drive over the top of them!  Why anyone would bother trying the cut to drive round one when there is no other vehicles in the vicinity is beyond me.  Bloody rule abiders.  Type of people who wait for the green man to come before crossing when there is no cars for miles!  ;D

Thats fair enough, Im not talking about lads in articulated lorries that is difficult (or impossible ) to get around, it people in a standard car or a jeep that just plow over the top , making no effort to go around it, or even worse, people that when turning right, just cut across before they even reach the roundabout.
There is a mini roundabout right beside my house so I see people doing this all the time. When added to the fact that most people dont seem to know who has the right of way at a roundabout it leads to chaos and alot more accidents than their should be

Driving round craigavon quickly teaches you who has right of way at roundabouts. Also, they are proper roundabouts that you could build housing estates inside. A painting in the road deserves to be horsed over the top of...

Roundabouts are there to give you the chance to overtake in traffic and reach the next red light before the car previously front. If you reach the red light first you get to wait longer at it and that might provide an opportunity to check your phone.

When somebody mutters something but you only hear the last word they said. You ask them to repeat it and they only give you the last word that you already heard.

Her: "mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble bread."
Me: "What's that?"
Her: "Bread"
Me: "What?!"
Her: "Bread!"
Me: "What about Bread?!! I need you to repeat the whole sentence!"

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.

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.

That's what I thought, but they can trade draft picks for players can't they?
I understand the basics of it, as you stated.

Draft Picks are treated as currency in the NFL, so you can, if you wish, trade picks to move up or down the draft order. You can also use them to trade for other teams players, but it's fairly simple still. If I want Tom Brady, I have to give up my first round pick for the next 3 years. The Patriots can bank those picks, and wherever it's my pick in those years, the Pats just make the pick for themselves.

Latest was #5weeksold.

I know they're excited, but really..
To quote Sergeant Gerry Boyle:

I don't want to see it. Babies all look the same. The only time a baby doesn't look like every other baby is when it's a really ugly baby. So unless you're about to show me a photo of a really ugly baby then I don't want to see it.

I'm forever lifting rubbish by the road at the front of the house. It amazes me that these tramps go for a feed after a night out and when they are finished eating in the car they just fire the rubbish out the window into the road rather than just take it on home and use their own bin.

I use a wee country road as a rat run outside Armagh, on the way to work, and there is always crap dumped by the roadside - at the minute it is broken insulation boards.

I think you are giving the DUP voters slightly too much credit there. That would mean they would have to acknowledge that they were sold a pup and be able to understand the connection between Brexit and why there are no jobs and poorer services.

The average DUP voter would also have to comprehend why the party they voted for got into bed with a set of euro sceptic tories pushing their own agenda and who dont give one toss about billy from ballymena.

I genuinely think this is beyond a good majority of those who vote for this collection of dinosaurs.

As as ex-runner and ex-jogger, I understand the desire for a smooth running surface, and wanting to avoid tripping.

But it is completely irresponsible to run on the road when there is a good pavement. Is jay-walking a chargeable offence?

Would it not be a bit dangerous to run on the country roads listening to music?  Even running around the town I prefer to have my wits about me.  There are plenty of nut jobs out there and drivers on country roads can be very close when passing.  I think it's irresponsible of runners to run with ear phones in if they aren't on a pavement.  They're just asking for trouble.

Americans wouldn't know WTF you were talking about if you used the word "pavement". To them, "pavement" is the road surface.

A pavement is a term used for a road, foot way or any other hard standing structure. The correct term is footway or footpath, it's actually quite funny as I had this conversation in work a few days ago where the Principal Engineer says "who the hell calls a footway a pavement".

I have to say they really need to introduce motorway driving onto the driving test, how f**king hard is it to leave your phone be and keep a safe distance from the car in front without driving into the back of some ****. And then we have everyone nosey **** slowing down to have a look after they stand outside their cars with their two arms at one length blocking a carriage way instead of at least moving onto the hard shoulder. Right enough like motorways are the roads that require the least "driving" yet there were at least three collisions on the M1 today  >:(

I've a simpler solution.

Tax corporate parking at £10k pa, make the leasing of private housing parking spaces illegal, plus during the working week set a sliding scale whereby parking for more than 4 hours in one car park costs at least £50, and set a minimum fine of £200 for anyone who uses the same off-street parking zone twice in one day.

Then watch while everyone leaves their car at home.

The Westlink may as well be a tunnel though as there is little to no room to manoeuvre if there is a crash. Agree with motorway drivers here. Everybody treats the outside lane as the "fast lane" instead of overtaking and moving back inside. That combined with driving 10 foot from the car in front is a recipe for disaster.

Great idea...........the city would then become a ghost town with companies moving out as they cant get staff.

The London 'congestion charge' works well because the infrastructure is there to take people in and out of the city.

Bus for the people that find it convenient. Train for the people that find it convenient. Bike for the people that find it convenient. Leaves more road space for the people that absolutely have to take cars. Cars take up too much room per person, it's entirely appropriate that there should be disincentives for single-occupancy vehicles.

Belfast and the north in general doesn't have the infrastructure to properly utilise public transport. The trains are full. The gliders are full. The cycle lanes are pathetic and not much incentive for a car dependent city. And yet the roads into and out of Belfast are still like a car park at rush hour. I know people who commute to Belfast and at peak times aren't always guaranteed to have room to get onto the train never mind get a seat or standing room

All trains from 4:00 to about 7:00 are jam packed, I haven't got a seat on the train in about 18 months. The Motorways are jam packed too and i take your word for it that the buses are too so what do we do...basically the infrastructure is not adequate for the people working and living in Belfast...

Whats the solution? Until them pricks at Stormont get back to work (get Brexit sorted out first) then this must be seriously considered as the volumes travelling in and out of Belfast have increased year on year and is showing no signs of slowing down. The existing infrastructure was probably grand for 10 - 15 years ago but something needs done ASAP...

There is not the population nor the billions it would cost for a Metro (under ground) so Motorways need additional lanes, instead of trains every 20 mins during peak times then every 10 or 15 mins and put 6 carriages on the trains instead of 3. Increase buses too...I dunno just a few options...

Could we do something like the Luas in Dublin that could serve out to the outskirts of the city to Park & Rides (which more needs building) or even as far out as Lisburn? Something needs done and a bit of forward planning from someone a lot smarter than me.

'Accidents' on the Westlink.

People who use the Applegreen Stations to bypass traffic.
I have to say they really need to introduce motorway driving onto the driving test, how f**king hard is it to leave your phone be and keep a safe distance from the car in front without driving into the back of some ****. And then we have everyone nosey **** slowing down to have a look after they stand outside their cars with their two arms at one length blocking a carriage way instead of at least moving onto the hard shoulder. Right enough like motorways are the roads that require the least "driving" yet there were at least three collisions on the M1 today  >:(

Oh, I hear ya!

It's really frustrating.  Can't get over the amount of accidents on the M1/Westlink.  Unless the damage is serious, just move your fcuken car out of the road!  Then their are the idiots who constantly weave in and out of lanes.

I've a simpler solution.

Tax corporate parking at £10k pa, make the leasing of private housing parking spaces illegal, plus during the working week set a sliding scale whereby parking for more than 4 hours in one car park costs at least £50, and set a minimum fine of £200 for anyone who uses the same off-street parking zone twice in one day.

Then watch while everyone leaves their car at home.

And get to work how?
Bus for the people that find it convenient. Train for the people that find it convenient. Bike for the people that find it convenient. Leaves more road space for the people that absolutely have to take cars. Cars take up too much room per person, it's entirely appropriate that there should be disincentives for single-occupancy vehicles.

Cars breaking red lights.
I've noticed it getting steadily worse of the past few years but I saw 4 cars break a red light this morning that was already red a few seconds before the first car broke it.
I have often got a green light only to have to stop to avoid hitting a car that has broke the red coming from the other side.

Hate people who don't use the pump furthest away. Some gimp sat waiting on a car leaving the forecourt. So I waited behind thinking he'd take the one furthest as it was also empty. But no the dodo just went for the nearest one and there wasn't any room to pass. I end up looking like a dick as there was a wee queue developing into fiveways having to manoeuvre into the pump on the other side and stretch the hose over my car Which I don't like doing. Such bad petrol station etiquette

Of course cyclists should obey the laws. Do you think car drivers should not?

Of course I do, but my first response to someone saying motorists are always breaking the rules isn't to say well so do cyclists.
It seems to be a cyclist thing to bring up motorists everytime they are challenged over the poor behaviour of cyclists on the roads, rather than admit yeah cyclists can be arseholes also.

I am a cyclist and cyclists can be arseholes. breaking red lights makes no logical sense when the light is red for a reason, usually that reason being traffic coming from another direction so theres a chance you could be killed. I hate also how say a stream of cars has overtook you, then at a light the cyclist moves up through the traffic to the front of the cars again, meaning everyone has to take extra risks by overtaking again, including the cyclists (if you have experienced how some cars overtake)

So it's okay for cars to pass the cyclist but not okay for the cyclist to pass the cars? How does that work? Go to youtube and look for MGIF, the Must Get In Front drivers who feel the need to take a cyclist's life in their hands and squeeze past them at an unsafe distance just to get sitting at that red light for a second longer, only to be passed by the cyclist again a few seconds later.

Yes.  It would be good manners for a cyclist, when sitting at lights, to stay behind any cars which have passed them.  By overtaking these cars again they will only be holding them up once again, when the light goes green.  The cyclist who feels the need to overtake cars again at traffic lights is being a total arse, given that the only gain they make by doing so is that they get the privilege of stopping and waiting for the light to change a few yards further up the road.

I'm a cyclist and I'm all for protecting the rights of cyclists as road users, but there's no need to be a p***k about it.

You're throwing in conditions now.  Granted, in heavy traffic, where there are small gaps between sets of lights, there's no need for a car to overtake the cyclist.  But only in this specific instance.

Loading screens on computers - go like lightning to 99 (or even 100%) in 15 seconds, then pause for 2 minutes.

I'm sure there's a technical reason for this, but's it's very annoying.  Why isn't the percentage indicative of the time left?

Danske Bank's new mobile banking app. Compared to their old mobile & tablet apps, it's nothing less than a major fail. 😔

Awful. Looks like they contracted some A-level student to design it. The old mobile app was much better.

Very naive of anyone to belive that the IRA broke into Castlereagh or indeed carried out the Northern Bank robbery.

What purpose did any of those things serve? It was synchronised and coordinated in order to create the conditions to eventually make the IRA go away. The murder of Robert McCartney at McGuinness' bar was an additional unplanned bonus for those wishing to end the existence of the IRA. If the IRA actually carry the raid and robbery out, it was carried out with the full knowledge of MI5 and the British Govt as part of the plan agreed between the Ra and themselves.

All you have to look at is the outcome of those 3 major events. IRA gone (Seadhna Walsh statement 2005). SF in government. Decommissioning taken care of.

Northern Bank notes defunct. Supposed info re agents of the state got from castlereagh never acted on or used. It was all part of the agreed deal between GA and the British Govt to end things for good.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing by the way but how they managed the information and how they changed the outlook of the Reublicanism was at best political genius and at worst machiavellian to the degree which opens up so many questions about how long things were maybe actually being coordinated and agreed upon by the leadership of the IRA and how many people died during this period.

Jesus Christ.

There's only person being naive here big lad.

Eventually it will all come out in the wash, it generally does.... who organised it or allowed it to happen is pointless, both sides of divided were, at the end, played a dirty tune and fell for it, either for self gain, pressure applied on them to avoid a jail term or if you are led to believe a change in political view points and a get out strategy, either way, there were some dirty deeds done..

Collusion? Brits colluding with UDA/UVF/UDR/IRA/SF was happening daily, it seems, the victims/survivors and the families of those, need real honest answers so they can put things to rest, and get on with building their lives again, if thats possible!

Your comments are exactly why this has to happen. I pity your wives/sisters/daughters if this is your attitude towards efforts to get women on an even keel. That you think women have nothing worthwhile to contribute to sports discussions is really sad. Does that translate into wanting to make the GAA Discussion Board all male too?

Not buying that argument at all Rois. I just think we should have the most qualified people chosen to do the best job. I don't agree with giving someone a role simply because of gender or race quotas. I've seen it happen in workplace scenarios where female MDs or CEOs set targets to have 50% female at board level by a certain dates. What generally happens after that is the best candidate for certain roles do not get the job because a certain quota has to be filled. History has shown that the concept of positive discrimination does not work.

Having to block the roads for contentious marches made psni more hated on loyalist side. That has actually helped.

Sports punditry needs more women in it. There are too many ex players and not all are particularly useful. Women have to work harder to get there and tend to know more. You get people like Robbie savage from the men's side who is useless. Michael Owen too. Bringing in more women hs at least saved us from more useless men like that.

Agreed the best should get the job but there's that many sports punditry any ex player could rock up and do it. Bringing women into it has really helped imo.

No it didn't. Same with springboks and their policy of having a certain number of black players on their team. Only causes resentment within the squad/ workplace.

It doesn't necessarily put them in a better or more qualified position though. Not everyone who has played a game at the top has the intelligence to properly analyse a game and not everyone who played at the top level is articulate enough to convey an understanding of the game even if they do understand it.

Oh and we won't mention the female Sky Sports presenters that are there for their journalistic capabilities, nothing to do with the tits hanging out and being easy on the eye..........

Some sweeping statement there and over the top PC shite, because someone thinks someone who played a sport, at the level and intensity of that being shown, is in a better and more qualified position to commentate on it or analyse it that someone who hasn't.

My point is simple, I haven't seen a ex hurler discussing camogie games or a ex footballer commenting on ladies football. I don't mind Alex Scott though, played at highest level and well tuned in.

Cyril Farrell is on the Camogie coverage all the time.

But why? Has he taken Camogie teams in the past? has he a history of involvement in camogie, if so, then fine.

Me personally I much prefer to listen to the ex players, they've a better insight to the game. I don't buy into the, lets have a woman (or man). to make it look more balanced, lets just have the best commentators, man or woman with the best insights to the game, and generally if I'm watching the rugby the best pundits would be ex players at that level.

Oh and god help me two daughters with my attitude! I'm joking of course, they are well grounded and very opinionated and put me back in my box, more times that enough

Don't think he's taken intercounty camogie teams for quite a while now and I'm talking decades.

The issue is whether you consider the ladies games, i.e. camogie, gaelic football, soccer, rugby so inferior to the mens game that these ladies aren't in a position to give critical analysis, is that your argument?

If so, then where do you draw the line?
Why would anyone have Neil McManus on to comment on AI Senior Intercounty hurling, what could he possibly know about it?

See where I'm going with this.

To use Neil wouldn't be great as he's played in an All Ireland club final captain Ireland in the shinty/rules game and played at senior McCarthy cup level. But I get your point.

I'm not against women commenting and the one sport that's got it right is athletics, it just the huge intake of women lately on tv radio it's like they (tv corporations) have decided 50/50 regardless, irrespective of the sport, the one I highlighted was the rugby, maybe she played at a decent level or not at all and just watched the sport and has great knowledge on it, I don't know!

In fairness nowadays I don't and can't be bothered with the style of questioning the presenters lead with, most of it is irrelevant to the game in hand and they turn it around to the next England game when the public is made up of four regions, and 3 of them want England bate!

All that being said, the best person for the job it's the best answer.

So my point on attitude is that I can't understand that some people can't see that "we" have to go to what feels like uncomfortable places to promote balance and diversity, so far even as having different faces in soccer and rugby presenting. No, I don't think it should be tokenism, but a desire for differences in opinion and thought is not a bad thing, and I'm sure the analysts in question have some higher experience of the games than most of us. Maybe the specific female analysts who have obviously ground gears were the wrong analysts, not the wrong gender.

You mention athletics - add golf to that, with Sarah, Henni, Laura Davies etc all part of the furniture in golf broadcasting. Or tennis, some great analysts there too.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I find it to be tokenism as well. It's distinct from the case of say Joanne Cantwell and Evanne ni chulleian who genuinely worked their way up through the ranks of RTE. That's the way it should be, prove your worth and get rewarded for it. Being parachuted in to a position simply because you are a woman is a different matter.

Also Women's football is refereed under different rules to men's and due to the differing physical attributes of the playing population is also played completely differently. Likewise Camogie, which is currently in a sweeper death grip, is a different game to hurling. They're as similar to the men's codes as rugby league is to rugby union. So for me from an analyst I want a particularly insightful view that you couldn't just pluck from joe or Jane bloggs on a barstool. Having women footballers in to do the analysis is like getting Henry shefflin to do the football final and Colm cooper doing the hurling.

It cuts both ways that too, several female commentators complained about former high profile male football players managing teams at the women's World Cup. The argument being they got the job not because they deserved it but because they had achieved success in a men's competition as a player but were not competent enough to manage in the men's game. So you just can't have your cake and eat it.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: tyroneman on October 08, 2019, 09:48:16 AM
The 5 main criteria for analysts should be:

1. Do you understand the game itself and it's nuances? You don't need to have played at a high level , however some form of management, coaching or playing for fun experience would certainly be beneficial
2. Do you understand the rules of the game? Many pundits have no clue; witness the cry of 'black card' for every foul under the sun.
3. Can you clearly and simply communicate what you are saying to the audience?
4. Can you bring a level of insight into proceedings, showing the audience something they otherwise would have missed or not understood? The old "that's a bad miss" or "they need to tighten up in defence" is cowdung imho - I can hear that from the village idiots in the stands every week.
5. Can you be objective when needed, not pushing a side agenda, but still remain (and look) passionate about the game?

If you can satisfy even 4 of the above then I'd be happy to listen / watch - no matter who it is doing the analysis.

What is the story with people who just must sit on the outside seat? Train packed, you spot a free seat on the inside close to the window. You approach the person on the outside seat about letting you sit down (sometimes they have decided that their bags deserve the other seat more than a human does).  They get up and let you get past them to sit on the inside so they can keep the precious outside seat for some reason. I don't really understand it.

Yes and it's a pain in the boll0x if you're standing behind the person trying to get into the window seat as you then have to wait while the spare seats on the train are filled by people coming from the other direction. It's just pure ignorance from the people sitting in the outside seat

Obviously there is lots about the daily rail commute that grinds the gears...

What is the story with people who just must sit on the outside seat? Train packed, you spot a free seat on the inside close to the window. You approach the person on the outside seat about letting you sit down (sometimes they have decided that their bags deserve the other seat more than a human does).  They get up and let you get past them to sit on the inside so they can keep the precious outside seat for some reason. I don't really understand it.

As you're passing stand on their shoes, it really pisses them off and say sorry! Just to rub it in.. Must say got the train in today (major fcuk up on the shore rd) and I really should be using it more often!

It's the ones that step off the train and then stop dead on the platform to start reading phones. Nah there are only 50 people trying to get off behind you don't worry yourself.
Also i've noticed a thing particularly with young ones in Birmingham. Normally when a train rolls in the people on the platform stand aside to leave those trying to disembark get off. And they are usually queued up waiting to do so. I've noticed some of the young ones won't be waiting to get off. They only get out of their seat to do so when everyone else is trying to get on. Basically being an awkward p***k. Does that happen anywhere else ?

An Taoiseach or the minister for justice didn't bother showing up for this funeral, but they really should have. Someone is going to have to take steps to ensure that people with serious mental health problems get the help they deserve and aren't sent to prison instead.
f**k the judge that sent the mother of two young boys to prison because she didn't have €100 bail money on a public order charge. May you burn in hell. May your last days be spent in the emergency department of Mullingar hospital, the same E.D. that discharged a vulnerable young woman back into the care of the Gardai. f**k the same Gardai who drove you to the womens prison. f**k the Prison Service who allowed you to be locked up alone and afraid. f**k the screws who didn't check on you every 15 minutes and f**k the people who didn't tell them to do so, it was a Friday evening, maybe they were all in a rush home. f**k everyone who follows orders or just does their jobs without actually caring about other human beings.

Rest in Peace Monika Nawrat. Lessons will of course be learned, we've heard it all before.

Videos of football matches on Youtube that are set to Music.  Drives me mad.  I find a clip of a game I haven't seen, and the commentary and crowd noise has been replaced by some totally inappropriate country pop or soft rock music.  Who the f*** wants to watch a football match to music? Never mind music that doesn't even capture the speed or aggression of the game.  Grinds my gears anyway!!

Or you're looking for a specific clip of anything on Youtube, and all you can find is a million variations of it set to stupid and inappropriate music. Like Stewie and Brian fighting over the money Brian owed. The original is buried somewhere in the search results. (At least it was the last time I looked for it!)

The dogs on the street know it is. The top-heavy public sector and the lack of dynamism in the north's economy are inextricably linked.

Seen the video there alright, its always hard to know what's happened without the proper context.  I wonder what the protocol is for bouncers after incidents like that, do they call police/ambulance?

The man was clearly knocked unconscious and the bouncer lifts his legs to clear the doorway and appears to leave him there.
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

The 'victim' is well know in and around Belfast and I believe hes in a bad way on life support. Most will know the family name. Been discussing this today re the outcome of this. While the bouncer can claim self defence as the young lad appears to be attacking him. Is the Security job not to get the person outside, lock the door and call the cops? I'm sure he wishes he done that now!
Title: Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Post by: brokencrossbar1 on November 25, 2020, 04:31:35 PM
The lad is well known and from a well known family too. He had a lot of trauma as a child which has had an impact on his behaviour and also had his father brutally killed by another well know family. He may have been goading the bouncer but the final actions were extreme.

The lad grabs the door man in a headlock and starts throwing punches to his head, body slam extreme and outcome bad but the doorman didnt go out of his way to start a fight, if the person was kicked out of McD's then he should have walked away and went somewhere else. No lets start a fight

Bad for both parties but I don't think he's in life support, think he left the hospital?

Doing the doors isnt for everyone. Doormen act like this isn't part of the job description (unfortunate that they have to put up with it but surely they know it comes with the territory).

So basically close your business, keep people in the building until or if this person leaves, who's threatening behaviour is a risk not just to the doorman but it's customers?

No, lock the side door. You do know that the McDonald's in question  has two entrances? I mean he's not inside, he's outside it. So either he has been ejected or denied entry. Either way job done, customers are safe inside.
And FYI I know how long it takes for the police to come to these incidents. I also know how long it takes the ambulance - also not minutes.

It's f**king genius when you think about it.

Everyone knows it's a load of bollix but they feel they have to participate in this elf charade. What's the alternative?... "Listen kid, about this Santa fella..."?

Ah, my wife starts off being very creative, putting a bit of effort in and all that. Come another week or so and she'll be saying to me that it's my turn to come up with something and I just f**k it into the christmas tree or the log basket, upside down from the lights and the likes...
Kids don't give a shit after a while either.

I think, the older you get the less really annoyed about anything you are but more things irk you yet you just throw eyes up and move on. Saw this in an article regarding old people and their advice. The best one was not to get annoyed about anthing unimportant but be irked by loads and say nothing.

The annoying stuff:
Racism
Stupidity


The irky stuff:
People who wish others well on social media, even though the recipient isn't on social media, or is sitting beside them. Birthdays, anniversaries...fcuk up
People who reveal how much they cycled/ran that day. Fcuk up.
People who publish pics of their children/baby regularly. f**k up.

If it isnt International Women's Day its Women In Construction Day or Empowering Women Day, Women in Business NI or Women Leaders in Enterprise Day or some other shite.
That sesspit LinkedIn is brutal for it in particular. ...Oh Its Women in Construction Day so lets post up a bullshit message and few snaps of the ladies that work for us and tell everyone how wonderful they are and how much a  progressive company we are. When really its all bollix and we couldnt actually give a f**k.

And there is definitely a very visible 'move' on in the media from local commentators and media people, around promoting all this. Its nearly like feminism has gone nuts altogether.
Its fashionable to bang the feminist drum flat out at every opportunity now, whether the issue is actually about feminism or not. And how many things are nowadays being seized upon by feminists. You cant fart now without it being made into a misogyny issue. Men = Bad & Women = Good.

Can't agree with this Brick. To be honest it's akin to the notion of Unionists seeing equality as oppression. Women do not have equal status in the world despite what people might think. They have the legal equal status but in real terms they don't have it. There is a massive gender pay gap. I see it in work all the time. There is a massive safety issue and I have seen that at first hand. In many industries there is not equal opportunity for women and men use their positions to abuse a set of circumstances. I have knowledge of stuff that is not in the public domain that would blow your mind on certain things. I personally don't feel intimidated or offended by International Womens Day. Do you?

No, to be fair even my wife is getting fed up with it...

My only pain about it is the working mum thingy, I'm a working dad, doing the same chores and cooking the same amount (if not more) dinners every week.. Was flicking through the channels the other day and there was a ladies soccer game on, not one man was commentating or a pundit either!  ;D ;D

As for the equality of pay and abuse at work, that does need sorting out and will hopefully continue to be brought in line

I have no problem with it but it really grates on me when people who are clearly sexist pigs are promoting this kind of thing for their own good. Tbh it is only one or two who I have come across but enough to sicken you. Yeah even in offices etc sometimes you see certain individuals who you wouldn't be sure women are safe around if isolated. It's quite sad and pathetic tbh  :( A workplace I was in had no security so last there locked up. There was a particular boy they had to check every night wasn't second last with a girl on his own as he could not be trusted. That is really not good. (Thankfully this guy lasted only 2 (maybe 3) months in the company.

I feel there is a tokenism to some of this alright.  I believe there is a business in Belfast that is solely focused on feminism and latches onto any miscommunication or untimely comment on social media to stoke the feminism fire, which ultimately is leading to this tokenism (imo).   

I know from my places of employment (in the tech industry) that women I have worked with a treated equally, and more often have been given promotions not based on gender or trying to balance the books, but on experience and talent over male counterparts.   

To counter that, my wife works in the construction industry, although her business is great and supportive towards female staff and she says upper management is still "the ole boys club", so there is that underlying thought that the are only willing to let female staff progress so far. 

In terms of safety, unfortunately that is true, women are probably perceived as easier targets for people with ill intent, but so are the elderly and vulnerable.

I'm with you on this one BC1, as much as a lot of company's jump on these tokenism days, the proof is in the pay structures which there's still very much an imbalance going by recent figures...

This is 2022 FFS, why should a woman be treated any differently, not feel and be safe in their place of work, walking home or the likes.

Worked with a colleague one time that pulled the mental health card.  Furlough came into play when she was off and she asked to be put on furlough when the business was still finalising how it was going to manage all of that. 
So she was off  "sick" on stat pay, which is terrible I believe, and then when she got the opportunity to get better pay for the same situation she seized it.  I always wondered if furlough never existed would her "issues" have abated in the original 3 weeks she was due off.  Awful coincidence as soon as the business pulled furlough back (6months later), she was grand.....

That was something that caused business a lot of issues at the start of furlough. People who had been on sick leave wanted to come off sick leave to be furloughed. Weren't allowed to do this and people genuinely tried to take claims for it.

Maybe my point was lost in the rant somewhere.
Im all for equal right between women and men and recognize the obvious disparity and ridiculous situation when it comes to equality in the workplace and safety of women in society.
Id well believe alot of what you have seen BC1 and agree that its harrowing and very worrying BUT i think we also have to recognise that more harm than good can be done by the bandwagon and feminist extremists that kick in and latch onto everything going.

Could you imagine for a second if there were a male version of Loose Women shown on ITV every day....the outrage would be deafening.
I read something a few weeks ago about the 2 Johnnies on a radio show or podcast getting cancelled or taken off air because of something they said. Not sure if it was a storm in a teacup but it just seems everything is PC-crazy now and you can say very little without someone being offended.
Alot of this also feeds into the Mental Health machine that has rocketed in the last 3 years.

Like everything Brick there are extremes and I agree with you on that point. The difficulty I see is that the real issues are then lost because of what some people perceive to be feminism on Steroids. There is a middle ground that needs to be reached but generally the middle ground is a waste land, and that's reflective of the world in general. I would say though in my experience there needs to be a hard push back from women at this stage,  in the right way, to ensure they are heard. That will even out, and in my view is starting to even out already, but once again that will take time.

Can't agree with this Brick. To be honest it's akin to the notion of Unionists seeing equality as oppression. Women do not have equal status in the world despite what people might think. They have the legal equal status but in real terms they don't have it. There is a massive gender pay gap. I see it in work all the time. There is a massive safety issue and I have seen that at first hand. In many industries there is not equal opportunity for women and men use their positions to abuse a set of circumstances. I have knowledge of stuff that is not in the public domain that would blow your mind on certain things. I personally don't feel intimidated or offended by International Womens Day. Do you?

The north has a gender pay gap in favor of women

Not only social media.
Its infected Radio and television not to mention newspapers too.
Sensationalism wins out. The Nolan & X-Factor generation have alot to answer for.

The problem now is people are not sure what the right thing to say is on some topics.

An example would be there's a lot of furore these days around sports and transgender people competing in womens sports and then the problems with the once leading women now getting thrashed. It is a hot potato too as people who say it's not right are deemed discriminatory but then you have to question what is fair with testosterone / power levels etc etc. There is significant scientific debate on it which just gets shut down.

It's not a linear situation. In some cases they do but is not a straight line.

All this gender business. I was in the Levi's outlet last night getting jeans, and in the men's section all the pictures on the wall were of, I think female models. Or were they female? It was a bit hard to tell, TBH, they were fairly androgynous. What's up with that? I remember when you went into a store and the men's section had pictures of men wearing their gear and the women's section had pictures of women wearing theirs.

Was at Tesco earlier and did my sorta Friday Saturday shop (beer wine steaks, other crap) usual for me is to pick out the clubcard discounts..

Recently my clubcard has been coming apart at the seams, so took picture and have been using it without any hassle at counters and self counters, goes today with my shop and girl says nah! we aren't allowed as it could be a picture of any card!

Like I could use anyone's physical clubcard or find one in the store and use it but not my actual club card!! I just left my stuff at the till! Went to petrol station out side and used my photo of card at the pump and it accepted it!

Grrrrrr

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.

Any out that does cocktails is a f**king pain in the arse when all you want are pints. There should be a cocktail station separate from the main bar. Tell your man with the big glasses I'm making extra jobs in hospitality.

There are certain bars to avoid in that case, Rita's being one, though I'm very fond of cocktails to be honest, whiskey sours, and when I'm looking completely pissed a Long Island ice tea :o
Most are getting that way. I'd be fond of them myself but only in bars that are setup to do them properly. As they are a money-spinner (a tenner for a couple of measures and a bit of juice!) even a lot of tradional pubs are in on the act.

The queue at the dollar stores here in the states are the worst. They only ever have 1, 2 max cashiers on. The queue goes the whole way down the store. Even more annoying cause I'm just in to get some cheap sweets so I don't have the buy the childer the expensive stuff at the cinema!

The odd time they'll open another lane...happy days til the bitch in front of you orders 10 helium balloons that need to be filled, meantime if you would've stayed where you were, you'd have already checked out!
Still worth queueing for as cinema sweets are daylight robbery. And as for their nachos!

I tend to drink them like pints though which really pisses me off when considering the price. Own fault like, but unavoidable.

Worse in a bar where a group of 6 wimmin order and pay for their drinks separately  :-[
For balance, when fellas order a big round including a Guinness or whatever then f**k straight off to the toilet before paying. Inevitably barman finishes the round and you're stood looking at him with two arms at one length waiting for lord muck to reappear.

Any barman should be able to be filling 2-3 orders at the same time. This craic of waiting for a lad to pay - you could have the next 2 lots of Guinness settling

I think you'll find some of us share the same frustrations. I think I'm a fair driver but will purposefully try to block someone skipping the queue (Grosvenor Road, Belfast in the morning comes to mind). Playing chicken with me doesn't work  ;D

Th airport security queue is one that always gets me. There have been restrictions on liquids since 2001, how do people not know this?

Are you the taxi driver that deliberately blocked me on the sliproad onto the Westlink one time because I had the gall to use the second lane, even though there were two lanes available and there was nothing wrong, rude, or illegal about what I was doing? If there are two lanes, it's okay to use both.

The missus makes popcorn at home, pours it into a big ziplock bag and smuggles it in via her bag. We also buy any other refreshments at the likes of Costco and bring that in with us too. Saves a fortune. It costs next to nothing to make popcorn. I'd say that's where a lot of cinemas get their revenue, the price they charge for it is shocking.

Nope, not me, I'll be the one that doesn't let you into the right lane about five cars from the traffic lights turning right towards Sandy Row because I've sat there for 15 mins of my precious time, and you've just scooted up the lane for going straight on or turning left and expect me to let you in.
I actually agree that both lanes should be used when merging on - in New Zealand they have signs saying "merge like a zip" - wish we had those here.

They call late mergers "dive bombers" here. I just let them in and pass no remarks. I assume good faith that they've tried to merge as soon as they realized it was needed, but some judgmental pr1ck farther back decided to block them, so they've no choice but to move up a bit and try to merge later. The closer they get to the exit, the more judgemental people get and the harder it is to merge.

Can you carry out an experiment on our behalf, and then let us know how it goes?

Start putting these items in absurd places, but places that she will come across naturally over the course of the day.  For example, put the iron in with the cereals.  Put the phone charger in with the salt and pepper.  The back door key on top of the kettle.  You get it at this stage.  Don't do it once, just keep putting them in these places repeatedly.  Eventually she might suggest keeping them somewhere a little more sensible and once she has come up with this great idea, you can join in and hopefully find your way back to the designated areas. 

Just to keep things fresh, every now and then accidentally return something to an absurd spot, and apologise profusely when pulled on it.

Yeah, car keys are the worst.

Easy to hang them up behind the door when she comes in. Easy to do but is it? Not a chance.

I have an issue with this one. I see them as two different things. I dont really like toasties, well most toasties, which has its contents melted while the bread is toasted, like in a toastie maker. A toasted sandwich to me, which I prefer, is the bread toasted and then the contents for inside added after.  Saves you getting 1st degree burns from a nuclear hot tomato as well.

That's what they call them in Scotland. I don't mind hearing that at all, Scottish sayings have far more business creeping in to Irish speech than Americanisms.

Cockteasers.

No, not the nightclub variety - it's a name I give to people that make posts on social media, message boards or forums like this that either only contain a hyperlink to another website, or post the link with added text that gives no context whatsoever as to what the link is about.

Most SM & modern forums will automatically parse links from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. so that the relevant post or video will appear within the post, but on forums like this that don't do it, then why should I click on the link in question without telling me what it is about, or leads to?

In a few cases, I'm fairly sure some cocktease links are being posted as part of an agenda to to try and entice visitors to visit a website in question and get them to view various pages/articles for the purpose of pursuing political agendas and/or adding website hits for PR purposes.

It's simple. If you're posting on a website like this one that doesn't parse links to show external posts/tweets/videos etc. then for linking to an article on a news website it's not exactly difficult to at least copy & paste the headline along with the link, would be even better to also add the first couple or so paragraphs as well (not the whole article - copyright and all that). YouTube video? Facebook post? Tweet? Give us an indication as to what it's about. Because if you can't be arsed doing any of that, then not only are you a cocktease, you're a lazy one as well.

Don't be a f**king cocktease.  8)

I'm with you there. Although a lot of news websites these days put a bit of info into the URL for Search Engine Optimization purposes. Youtube links do no such thing though, I wish people would tell me what's behind the link before making me watch a video.

The chipper is the machine inside the chippy that you feed spuds into and chips come out the other end.

In south Derry it's never referred to as the chip shop.
It would be along the lines of 'do you fancy a Chippy tonight'. And said Chippy would be obtained from the Chippy.
It's never called a chipper either.

The chipper is the machine inside the chippy that you feed spuds into and chips come out the other end.

In the Just Eat app it has a menu option for "Traditional Chipper" where all the nearby Chippers are.
