You know what really grinds my gears?

[Rick O Shea]

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.

Did you get the new Billy Connelly dvd for christmas?

Getting out of the shower and realising there's no towel in the bathroom!

Then the bollocking you get from the missus for getting the floor wet while you go get one 

[downredblack]

Wondering whether, on arriving at work, I turned off the immersion after the shower

As the Da used to say " you might as well be throwing 50p's out the top window .

Arrving back at the train station car park to find some bastard parked (not in a designated space) with their drivers door 6 inches from my drivers door and having to climb across the passenger seat to get in.

No. Is Billy on about it too? Or is it just that we're both turning into grumpy old men?

I used to work with an old HR Manager who talked about tri-broonearals instead of tribunals.  The Mahon tri-broonearal.

f**king little sc**bag bastard f**king c***ts who smashed my van window last night and stole everything from it..
My ipod,satnav all gone which i might add were locked in the glove compartment which the bastards forced open and a load of personal documents inc bills etc were just fucked out of the van onto the ground
The house 4 doors up got done as well the girl had credit cards and everything stolen..
I wouldn't mind but i live in a very quiet cul de sac...
Just as well the stupid pricks didn't get into the back of my van i have loads of tools they could have got
Im still waiting for the Garda to come out i rang them at 9am

Awful feeling Laoislad sorry to hear about that a few years ago one of my kids was awake around 3 or 4 in the morning i thought i heard a noise in our Driveway, low and behold i look down and there is a little fcuker trying to rob me car i run down the stairs to confront the little fcuker and guess what he says " RELAX MAN RELAX"   he was out of his box i rang the Guards and they took the little basta*d away he had caused damage to a few cars in the estate the same night.

Ouch Laoislad - nothing quite so enraging as knowing some little f**ker has taken off with some expensive items paid for out your hard earned cash.

I know and i wouldn't mind but the satnav is no good to them as they left the charger in the van,Also sure the ipod won't work on another computer..
I even had a religious scapular(spelling?) that a late Aunt of mine gave me and i have had it in every car i have owned and that was fucked out into a big puddle beside the van

[his holiness nb]

The ipod will work on another computer Laoislad, I used to use mine in the office and at home.

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

[The Real Laoislad]

Well with my taste in music im sure they will be deleting all my tunes  ..
Just found the sim card for the sat nav underneath the seat of the van so that is definatly useless to them now good enough for the c***ts..

[the Deel Rover]

i hope they enjoy the 2003 leinster final LL

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.
