People in an office who say 'coolio'

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

Finding out the road you are approaching is closed but getting up as near it as possible only to be told go back the way you came and spend an extra hour getting home

Warn people sooner FFS

Oh and the shite weather in this country-summer, what summer?

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.

I've taken up cycling, about a week now, and it's destroying my clothes! I'm about to lose the crotch in a second pair of jeans! And the leg is ripped already where it got caught in the chain!

This, grinds my gears.

I never remember this happening when I was a wee boy going round on a bike all day everyday.

I'm not sure jeans are the recommended clothing for going cycling Pints.
