Vaguely remember a thread like this on last board and I need to get it off my chest so here goes:-
1 The mispronunciation of placenames by "Traffic Reporters" on the radio.Not a difficult job to read some report over the airwaves and they still cant get it right.
2 Pronouncing Dun Laoghaire as "Dunleary"
3 The term "Getting on the Property Ladder"
4 Hearing the term "The country is awash with money"
5 Watching plastic bags blowing all over Croke Park on St Patrick's Day and seing the stewards do sod all about it.
6 The term "Paddy's Day"
7 The use of the term "Backswoodmen" by journos to describe anyone who voices a concern about the opening up of Croke Park.
8 Seing signposts on M50 in the summer being blocked out by the trees and remaining so for whole summer. Laziness .
9 Litter.
10 Ger Canning doing commentary.
Rant over. Hope others join in.
a few gael additions
-
people here referring to england as " the mainland"
poppies wore here in the 6 counties
referring to 6 counties as northern ireland
6 counties being referred to as "the province"
football being referred to as "gaelic"
people from the nationalist tradition sending their children to the likes of methody banbridge high etc..
The term 'True Gael' certainly annoys the shit out of me, would be interested to see the attributes that one would need in order to qualify for that term ? Any ideas ?
There are loads more but would take me all day to list them
People queing for buses and complaining about them being late, then when getting on the bus starting to look for the fare.
Golf umbrellas on the streets.
Drunken teenagers
Whinging about how warm it is, then how cold it is the next day.
Teams playing ringers.
Christmas trees up in Nov
Julian Simmons
George Jones
This feels good, I will be back.
I'm probably just being pedantic here but I really get annoyed at the misuse of abbreviations. Example: people saying "ATM machine". What does the M in ATM stand for?!!! Why the need to repeat the word "machine"? Other obvious examples include "PIN Number" and "AIB Bank". I've seen these written by supposedly top journalists in respected broadsheet newspapers, heard them from news broadcasters on both national television and radio and even seen them written on Companies' literature. I'm sorry but I can't abide this ignorance.
I forgot to add:-
Motorcyclists fannying around at tollbooths for change.
I could make a very long list but I then I thought I could narrow it down to one thing...
1. People
This is where thon lot accuse me of having a huge chip on my shoulder...
but when things appear stupid then OWC love to say "That's Irish"
POG - :D
Wimmin Drivers, who fail to acknowledge your act of kindness by letting them in (or out) of a tough spot.
Shop assistants who grunt or stay stubbornly silent when you say 'Hello' or 'Morning'..
Teenagers who curse very LOUDLY in the city centre..O.K. yez are ded coooooolll.
White Van Men the world over, ignorant, arrogant , chav bastards...
enough for now, l'm gettin' angry.
Taxi drivers really, really get on my f**king nerves, whether I am in the car with them and their incessant whining trying to put you off while they add another 50 cents to the charge or trying to avoid hitting them when they just pull out/stop without any warning >:(
My biggest pet hate is definatly people in cars who don't indicate at roundabouts it drives me crazy i hate it.Also hate these fuckin boy racers who come up behind ya in their pimped out Nissan Micras,right up to your bumper until you move out of the way only then to leave the motorway at the very next exit GOD I HATE THAT
Yep Laoislad, I concur. Most people are only guessing what to do at a roundabout.
Now, to educate the ignorant:
Turn left: Indicate left and stay in left lane.
Straight ahead: Stay in left lane and don't indicate at all until past the 1st exit. Then indicate left.
Turn right: Go into right hand lane and indicate right. When past the 2nd exit indicate left and away you go.
Posters such as Flameboy and thegael thinking they're hard as nails republicans when really no one gives a shit.
And indeed any "blame game" thread on Northern Ireland that goes over and over what's been done to who.
YAWN.........
The approx. 10% of the population who STILL don't know how to use a f**king bank machine.
Young teenagers on the bus having a conversation all passengers can hear; when all they have to talk about is American pop rock acts.
The women who work in my office who ask me for help when they make their daily c**k up on their PC - and the fact I'm not rude enough to tell them to f**k off and that the adult IT classes are held on a Saturday Morning!
Irish League Football.
People who shout for a hop ball before the referee throws it up
People who shout 50 when a 45 is awarded
Those who don't pay attention to the sermon at mass.

2 Pronouncing Dun Laoghaire as "Dunleary"
How do you pronounce it ? Not Duin Learagh because that annoys the crap out of me
Dublin Bus
People who stop in the box junctions
People who say "You dubs"
Getting paid by the month
People for the north who believe everything bad that happens to them is a anti north thing
"Soccer fans" who sit in the pub with their back too the , would never consider listening to a match on the radio and call 20 seconds interest in the sports bulletin as support
A buc with a Liverpool avatar on a gaa message board!
Oh please don't get me started
1. Wimmin's gossip magazines
2. People who can not be objective at football matches... your team are bound to give away frees every game why protest about every one?????
3. People who have 14 'God' written on their football jersey's (What county could they be from??).... it is blasphemous you know!
4. The DUP
5. Bouncers on a power trip
6. The word 'innit'
7. Scientology and all scientology related things
8. Dubliners who refer to anywhere outside of Dublin as being 'Down the country'
9. People who sing "I don't see any London in Tyrone". Half of the people who sing it are staunch Sinn Fein supporters and would usually be happy to castigate any Unionist who might refer to the Oak Lef county as Londonderry.
10. Cork people's complete arrogance with regard to Roy Keane (If he burnt down an orphanage they'd say "Sure weren't they only knackers in the first place, boy"), the Cork Hurling team ("Sure Sean Og invented hurling boy") and the Munster Rugby team ("Sure Munster are the only Rugby team in Ireland boy, Rog is a legend and Humphries is a langer!")
I think I have gone on enough, I will submit more in a while!
Childer that won't whist
Bad drivers.
Extremists and bigots of any stripe.
Waiting.
Creationists who insist on having their unsupported fairy tales taught in science class.
Intellectual dishonesty.
Political Correctness
Multiculturism

Yobbish Behaviour
The Term...All right minded people
Pat Kenny
Agree with majority of above, heres two things not mentioned that really piss me off, although one of them is no ones fault but my own.
A load of change fallin out of my pocket when iv jeans with big pockets on, and it fallin down under the couch. Get awful angry for some reason.
Just after landing from a perfect flight and half the people on the plane starts clapping. FFS isnt that their job, its not like I landed the thing. Again I dont know why I get so pissed off but I feel the need to stand up and tell everyone to shut the f**k up. But thats not allowed in recent years so have to keep it all inside.

I've seen it in one or two flights (both Transatlantic).
I suppose there are a lot of nervous flyers out there!
Yeah I think it's more an expression of relief on behalf of nervous flyers than anything else. I wouldn't get too upset about that.
Office speak though, that does my nut in.
I don't want to touch base with a colleague to do a sanity check on my work, without reinventing the wheel though, so that we're on a sound footing going forward.
Bollox!

People who talk about everything being "common sense".

Jezus Charlie is dosing a bullock not common sense?
You'd think that. But it's not as easy as I make it look!

I thought most crushes had bars on the exit door that close on the neck and restrict the animal's movements.
Or are you one of these old fashioned boys who likes to handle with his animals without restraints! :P
Thats right. But when you squeeze about 5 animals into the crush, you try to be lazy and dose them all in one go without having to let them out one by one to bring them up to that gate. That's where the trouble starts.
that's not common sense Charlie
People who make cracks about all the Oirish being pissheads, never met a sober Irish man in my life etc.
I disagree.
It'd be more work to let the cattle out one by one. You'd have ensure no other animal rushed out every time you opened the gate. Also it'd also be harder to get an animal into that vice in the gate if it had extra room to run forwards and backwards in the crush due to you letting the first animal out.
No, all things considered I think you're safer pack them all in so they've no room to move and dose all at once.
Some might term it "common sense".

Well, most young Irish people do at least go through a stage of getting hammered at some point!
Its a lazy stereotype. Most nations have them about other nations e.g. Americans are fat, religious, ignorant of world affairs; the French are arrogant foul-breathed cowards, and on and on! At least the pisshead one is fairly benign!

Anyway dosing a bullock sounds as dangerous as mixed tag Rugby?
This actually brings me nicely to my next gripe: "Irish Bars" abroad.
When I first went abroad I thought they were a novelty. But now I see them as a crass exploitation of a misguided stereotype of us as singing, beer guzzling, toe tapping red necks. They don't even serve quality stout. Yuck. Can't stand them.
NKAB, if you want to make an omlette you've gotta break eggs. It's just the price you have to pay.
Oh wait, what am I saying - I HATE cliche's too.

And why do we go to Irish pubs when we are abroad???? Because its the only place ya get away with being rediculously drunk and still get served.
Australia has som of the best beers in the world, almost makes ya not miss Guinness, arra who am i kiddin :'(

The only reason I generally go is because they might well be the only place showing a GAA or irish soccer or rugby match at a certain hour, otherwise i'd generally stay away from them.
You're dead right bod. Publicans the world over are just cashing in on our image. If they'd at least try to emulate a pub at home it mightn't be so bad. A tricolour, an Irish barman, a shamrock and some diddly-dee music does not qualify as an Irish bar.
In New Zealand you don't even get the GAA. No Setanta here.
One more thing, what does "arra" mean. I've heard westeners say it umpteen times but I still can't work out what it means or when you'd use it.

Guys scooting up the hard shoulder on the m50 and then blowing you out of it when you indicate and move into the off ramp the CORRECT way.

Dubnutjob, if you think I'm looking for a rise out of the likes of you then you are sadly mistaken. I'm up for the debate but if your clearly limited intelligence inhibits you in this regard feel free to bow out.

the only thing you've told us Dubnut is that you run and run and run....................
dubnut your not covering yourself in glory here either.
I thought you said you were leaving the non-gaa section for a few weeks
Ludermor, I was going to, but rather that let these guys ruin my fun, have decided just to stay away from the North related ones.
I have said on previous threads after several back and forth mails with this guy that I am not going to engage him in conversation as he is on the wind up.
Now he is dishing out the personal insults here and I am merely not getting drawn into another back and forth thing, despite his best efforts.
Can we get back to the funny thread that was up and running before this guy tried to highjack it with insults?
why dont you just take a beep breath and ignore him/them, you dont have to reply to every post
OK thats exactly what I will do.
I trust Man in Black will do the same.

Abuse of the GAA rulebook to escape legitimate punishment
The amount of stoppages in a football game when certain teams get three points up in the second half.
Nokia speak.
Government by the Joe Duffy radio show consensus.
Shops that don't stock the Times or even the Examiner. Closest newsagent to the girlfriend's home place stocks the Indo, Herald and Red Tops - no actual papers that you'd read. Then they look at you as if you have three heads for not taking the Indo anyway.
The Indo
Reality TV. All that watch it. All that talk about it. The fact that interesting programmes such as quiz shows that used to ask questions have all disappeared to make way for them. (Who wants to be a millionaire isw not a quiz show - it gets through about one question every three minutes)
The way all the country turns a blind eye to all these wimmin with so much money that they can go to NY to do their Christmas shopping coming back and not declaring a single penny of duty on the way back, cheating on more tax than I pay on my car in a year.
The way the most corrupt self serving party in the history of Irish politics is going to get returned to power and realise that it doesn't matter what way they f**k this country up in their own interest, they'll never ever get punished.
"Celebrity" culture
Going into restaurants that have 14 options on the menu, 9 of which contain garlic.
The way it's acceptable for a meat lasagne to be filled with peppers and onion etc "for flavour" yet it would never be acceptable to put beef in a vegetarian lasagne for the same reason.
Bookies who will accept bets on cartoon dogs, Norwegian soccer but can't offer you prices on the county final going on in the town at the weekend.
Bookies who never have the cash to pay you. "We never keep more than €500 in cash" - what is this, a sweet shop?
Irish pubs over here that are merely painted Irish. i.e. they have a picture of Luke Kelly on the wall, but come Sunday will be showing Everton vs West Ham on the screens and no sign of Toome vs Erin's Own anywhere.
Sunday Sport on RTE going for an hour on the trot not telling you the scores in any GAA matches. In the mean time we've cut back to the JJB stadium for an update on Wigan 0 Tottenham 0 three times.

When you talk about Northern politics and people reply with "its all in the past forget about it"...no its not. Normally used by people who know they are beaten in a debate/argument.
People who say American Football is shite, no its not. Learn the rules, watch a game, you might just enjoy it.
People who seem to think just because your from the south it means your opinions on the north dont count. Many people say this especially if your opinions are republican minded. Either debate my believes or f**k off and stop making up excuses.
Some GAA people who have no time for anyone whos not invlved in the GAA. Lads sport is sport, it dosent make you any more Irish or more important if you play hurling/football over soccer or no sport at all..
People who tell me music by the likes of the Wolfe Tones, other similar bands is shite. I dont know but I'd rather listen to that than listen to Britney spears singing about sex or some other band sing about drugs or how rich and great they are.
Broadband coverage. Its 2006, and I cant get broadband in my village.
Some soccer fans who view GAA as sports followed by savages etc.
Newspapers in this country. Not one of them worth reading.
People who think everyone who does up their car or listens to dance music is either a boyracer/chav. Well lads, you couldnt be more wrong.
Most new films that are made. Normally include a stupid storyline or poor logic. Is it too much to ask for a few new films that might actually have to make me stop and think for a second other than 90% of films nowdays which are just braincandy films.
And finally my mate (whos laptop I'm currently using) who changed on the theme on the laptop which means I now have to highlight what I type to actually see what I'm writing. Thats my excuse for any spelling mistakes/bad grammer.

QuoteYep Laoislad, I concur. Most people are only guessing what to do at a roundabout.
Now, to educate the ignorant:
Turn left: Indicate left and stay in left lane.
Straight ahead: Stay in left lane and don't indicate at all until past the 1st exit. Then indicate left.
Turn right: Go into right hand lane and indicate right. When past the 2nd exit indicate left and away you go.
You can also use the right lane to go straight ahead.

The obvious response to that is that games like gaelic football and soccer often fill up a substantial amount of the allotted playing time with stoppages. At least you're guaranteed to get the actual 60 minutes (or 48 in the NBA) of playing time in American football. If the ball doesn't go out of play or if the clock isn't stopped for some other reason such as a penalty or a timeout, you have only a maximum of 40 seconds to organize the team and start the next play.
Some Dubs (not all) who think that the world stops once you go past the red cow roundabout jesus christ lads there is a life outside of Dublin ya know......

Stayed in the grand hotel in Malahide last year for a wedding , and was shocked to find they used Londonderry in a map or phone directory in the rooms . Lets boycott the kip until they burning all offending literature .
c***ts that throw on the right turn indicator at the last minute, or worse sit at the lights with none on then when they turn green throw on the indicator. I wish i could just push the feckers up the road in front of me.
QuoteYou can also use the right lane to go straight ahead.
Yes, but you shouldn't. If going straight ahead you should be in the left lane unless otherwise indicated (or of course if there are two lanes the far side also).
Instead of those "don't overtake going round a corner" ads they should have ones about how to drive at roundabouts. I would say 80% + have the same (wrong) idea as Star Spangler. I thought the same myself but asked an advanced driving instructor who told me the correct way.

I was dragged out shopping today and I'LL TELL YOU WHAT PISSES ME OFF!!
Sitting in traffic!
Not finding a parking space!
People who take a half a hour to pull the car out of a space while you're sitting waiting on it!
People who take a half a hour to park! (that includes your own driver)
People who won't pull into a parking space because there's a car behind them! what is that about?!
People parking over the white lines on a space!
Shopping trollies!
Push chairs!
People not getting out of my road!
People bumping into me!
People standing wth push chair/shopping trolley and being totally oblivious to the fact that they're causing major disruption!
The cleaning woman who walked down the floor with a 5ft wide brush and near knocked me down because she was texting!
Shops having every size only the size I want!
Clothes arranged in the way that if you walk past them they'll all fall down!
The handles on plastic bags ripping through your hand!
Losing the person who has dragged you out, walking around for a good half hour looking for them when they will not answer the f**king phone!
I think that's it
Why didn't you just say "christmas shopping" Pint?
I suppose I could have narrowed it down to "christmas shopping with a woman!".
f**king exams. They piss me off. I have one tomorrow and I'm rightly fucked. I probably should do some study but every time I try I lose concentration. I'm sure theres other students here who have similar feelings.
Also the fact that Chelsea have just equalised, and to make it worse its that dirty bollox Essien.
Cheer up galwaybhoy. They just hit the bar and post and are felling pretty sick at the moment. Can't help you with exams though.

A woman nabbed me in the pub a while back and asked me to sponsor her for a walk for the local pioneers club.
I asked what charity they were doing it for and she said "no, the pioneers club is the charity" !
She said her husband was a member and never drank.
I asked why the f*ck would I sponsor him so if he is saving on beer money already!!
The gas thing was it was out in the smokers area of the pub and she had the sponsor card in one hand and a drink and smoke in the other.
Couldnt even leave the drink down long enough to have a smoke and wanted money for the pioneers!
Thegael would have sponsored her I'd say ;)
Maybe it was the Gael :o
Nah she was drinking.
The Gael I am sure is pure!

Not likely, always a tradition at home for everyone to shut up for 2 minutes for the angelus. A majority of Ireland is Catholic and as long as this is so, the angelus will be played.
On that note though if its televised at 6 why isn't it televised at 12, that never really dawned on me until now....Should be said too at 6.a.m if right was right.
And if it were'nt for the angelus we wouldn't have Guinness :P

I am making the assumption that you have flown from the parents nest Bod Mor, so do you still shut up for the Angelus? Fair enough if you do, and while yes the majority is Catholic by birth, my point was that they still switch over for the Angelus, or mute it and flcik through Artel. Might be an idea for a poll
Yep flown from the nest and still say the angelus. Fair enough if some people switch over from the angelus....some people switch over and mute the English national anthem too.

Another variation on the baby guinness 'shot' is Kahlua and Baileys, or Tia Maria and Baileys rather than Butter scotch. Actually Butterscotch and Baileys would be more of a baby carlsberg or something.

12. Soft as shite f**kers who exaggerrate the bad weather - it's freezing, it's lashing out of the heavens, I'm not going out in that etc. Grow some balls, or better still, some skin.
13. Everton hacking out a draw at Anfield and celebrating like they've won the league
14. Steven McDonnell being written as Stephen McDonald. FFS, one's an ace scorer for Armagh the other's in Coronation Street you assholes.
15. Pat Spillane as a presenter, Ger Canning as a commentator and M Morrissey as well
16. People who sit languidly at bar in a pub or chipper when there's a three deep crowd behind them trying to order
17. Always managing to pick the slowest moving queue
18. Bad service in restaurants etc.
19. Drivers - and it's usually always women - who nervously brake every single godamn time they meet a car or reach a bend regardless of the actual need to do so, width of the road and so on. JESUS CHRIST IF YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE PROPERLY GET TO f**k OFF THE ROAD YOU ABSOLUTE f**ker!!!
20. The amount of execrable reality TV nonsense and worse, women's fascination with it and refusal to watch anything else apart from this and soaps. In general, the broader dumbing down of society, people being famous for nothing, celebrity culture and how people are in thrall to a throwaway, manufactured, PR and media-driven agenda.
I feel much better now, but I'm going to have a lie down after all that. ;D

Transits come with indicators now you know!
f**kers driving up the bus lanes when they shouldn't, plus c***ts parking when the urban clearway is in force. I only see the cops enforcing this on the very odd occasion
People overtaking you when your doing the speed limit, where are they in such a rush too?
People driving slow who then speed up like f*ck when you go to pass them out...seriously pisses me off
Learner Drivers with the L plate put on sideways , who have 5 mins experience behind the wheel who will make a Ballix of some maneuver or other and then just sit there and let you drive round them or reverse out of their way . All such drivers are unaccompanied of course .
1. Chuggers (Charity Muggers) - yr on £7.00 odd per hour - give half of that to yr charity and p*ss off outta my face.
2. Opening a door for someone and not even getting a nod or 'thanks' in return - manners cost nothing.

4. People phoning after 10.00 at night - first thought is - 'it's an emergency', then it's not
5. GAA 'fans' who ask what time kick off is
6. Kids who let thier children run amok in other peoples houses for an easy life.
7. The fascination with America and typical shock horror at tragedies that you can see coming a mile off. As a journo pointed out - we don't bat an eyelid at a train overturning in India or a pipeline exploding in the Ukraine, why should we be astounded by gun crime in the states???
8. Hypocritical premiership managers:
Ferguson: accuses Real of tapping up Ronaldo; and what was the Owen Hargreave saga about Fergie?????
Mourino accusing others of diving and cheating; I point you to the Celtic v Porto UEFA final................and Drogba, Robben et al
9. That Woman Fiona Phillips off GMTV. The dictionary definition of smug moron.
