You know what really grinds my gears?

Rushing to get the house phone only for it to stop ringing as soon as I pick it up, I don't know why people still bother with house phones! I'm going to dispose of mine.

I use the term "early doors" fairly often, didn't know about it's cockney origins though. You learn something new every day. What's so gear-grinding about it?

Ger Canning on the Sunday Game hurling. That man f**king infuriates me

The Journo trying to smear David Norris on Liveline. Don't care much for Norris, but this is shocking. The Joe Duffy agenda for the presidential race is alive and well. Keep Mary mc A  for the third term. He is a cretin.

'Outsiders' referring to the GAA as a sport, as in "Do you play GAA."

No I play hurling.

Cheaper calls than mobile phone, especially for international calls. very easy for emergency services to trace you if you ring and can't talk for some reason.  Your battery wont run out in a landline, some places like out of hours doctors need a landline to ring you back if you are sick at night or weekends etc, landlines won't loose signal.

People spelling 'lose' as 'loose'.

Men wearing flip-flops.

I even saw a bloke wearing multi-coloured espadrilles the other night.

What has Ireland become?

[Hardy]

Men knowing what an espadrille is.

[maggie]

Men wearing flip flops is grand. Now men wearing sandals with white ankle socks, that's just wrong.

Men knowing what an espadrille is.

You'll be glad to hear I had to google that. So that's what them things were in the Miami Vice days.

What has Ireland become?

A hotbed of metrosexualism and debauchery by all accounts.

What's wrong with flip flops?

[Tony Baloney]

As a style icon I am aware of all types of footwear.

What is wrong with a good sturdy black brogue with a tipped sole and a pair of white socks. That's the Ireland I know. More specifically Derry.

[Puckoon]

Nothing wrong with the brogue - but the white shocks are a let down Tony.

[ONeill]

At breaking point. I cannot stand the use of 'lol'. I can't take it any more.
