You know what really grinds my gears?

[chocoholic]

When every player getting a jersey gets a round of applause when handed their jersey in the changing room.  Kind of grinds my gears.

Like me, he's probably never heard of this before. Does this happen every match?

Miriams eyeballs freak me out

Oh right, it happens in my club in all codes, right through juvenile and when i was at UUJ, it happened too.  Assumed it was common.

Every man called out in the certain position gets a big clap, very fake to me but I just clap away and cringe inside.

For every game? That's crazy.

I've seen lads presented with their jersey, especially at county level, on the night before a big game or in the hotel that morning or something. There's never applause though, it's very solemn.

Wtf??? Did you just make this up? Know plenty were at UUJ and they've never mentioned it, and they would have cos its f**king mental. Whats your club??

Jesus lads, relax. Its a personal thing that grinds my gears. Sorry for mentioning ffs, it obviously isnt as widespread as I thought.

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.

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.

Now that you mention it, I remember our ones talking about the education authority "up" in Armagh which was south of us and that made perfect sense, and that didn't grind my gears at all.
