Less of the fermanagh bashing ONeill. Talking of english far be it for me to stand up for the great language but what about 'American English'? Putting Z in words instead of S and leaving U out of words like colour and behaviour. Always pisses me off when I'm reading stuff written in the States. Also there use of offence instead of attack and uniforms instead of kits when referring to a team's colours.

Does anybody else hate the mobile phone joke phenomenom. I just dont get it. My Brother in law was at it tonight. Hands me his phone with a stupid smile

"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

I hate any type of fake social networking bullshit. This is the latest
It's a lot easier to sing karaoke than to sing opera

Good example. Detest this as well - usually read the first line and say, 'aye I've seen that before', even if I haven't.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

They do the same with recordings of prank phone calls. Pisses me off.

For once, I found one of these funny the other night. I had a few pints on me, though.
How does it sound at ten in the morning?

People who slow down/brake coming up to a green light. Especially when it means you either have to skip the lights or stop all together.

For f**k sake the light is green. Green means go, so f**king go!!

Square Ball

Smelly bast&&ds on buses who I seem to attract, loads of empty seats, but no sit beside me!!! for Feck sake wash!!!!!
Hospitals are not equipped to treat stupid

lynchbhoy

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...
