    Sucking up to Mods.

    Now, I know that that are absolutely brilliant and so generously donate so much of their time for our benefit. And I know how decent & friendly they are. But really...I can't understand why so many people put so much effort into sucking up to these amazing people.

    Tongue piercing.

    Why in the name of all that is sane would you want to stick a metal bar through your tongue with a ball on each end?

    It gives you a speech impediment, makes oral hygiene harder to maintain and it freaking looks stupid.

    And I don't want to even think about penis/clitoris piercings...--shudder--

    Football. There, I said it. My god nothing makes me want to take a run at the nearest concrete wall like watching a couple dozen men in shorts kick a ball up and down a field endlessly.

    I couldn't give a crap about football. If someone came to me and said, sir, I will take away that large mound of crap you have on your front lawn if you will only watch a half hour of footie with me, I would say no thank you my good man, as unpleasant and pungent as that crap is, I would rather have it on my front lawn for years to come than watch a half hour of footie with you.

    And if that's wrong I don't want to be right.

    Posing for photographs.

    Taking photographs of a night out to the extent that the night just consists of you posing for photographs where you desperately try to look like it's a wild night out.

    Posting said photographs on facebook (all 200 of them), tagging every living thing in them, and then commenting on every one of them, again trying to make people think you've had a wild night out.

    But the one thing I'll never get:
    Thinking other people actually look at your photos, or care whether you had a good night out.

    Also, jelly. I just don't get it.

    I dont get it either, how a sport where a 1-0 win is classed as a "great game" is beyond me, its 90 minutes of passing from overacting Europeans who cry like infants from falling over. on grass.

    Death Metal.

    Why are they so angry? Why do they have to be so loud? Why do they whinge about life like little bitches? How are there people who think that all that growling and screaming is either a talent or entertaining? :confused:

    As a metal fan myself I totally get why others not into it wouldnt get it. I was actually at a gig last year and the support act were a bit too much even for me.

    Hell for me would be being stuck in a murky pub with people I like but can't hear or speak to because of the roaring of the crowd watching West Shetfield's Hamstrings vee Dunwich Unted while nursing a flat, warm lager.

    so so many things... list of things that I do understand people liking would likely be a shorter one.

    top of the list are:

    Cartoon childporn, in an other community im a member of there's a member that is openly into looking at these cartoon pictures of underage girls.. no shame at all... he's a 40 year old man and ends every sentence on the forums with a (^___^) *stab stab stab*

    Football definetly, there is nothing more cringworthy than lads from out the sticks in a united or chelsea shirt down the local saying we did this we won that when in reality they have never been to see there teams and if there team was to drop a division they would be onto the next fairweather team asap, remember all the Forest fans in the 80's or that reminds me where have all the Leeds fans who were around a few years ago gone. Also, how could a man over 25 have a passion for a player who earns over 100,000 for being a diving cheat.

    Things I don't understand why people like them -This does not mean I think they are stupid for doing so, I just personally, don't get it -

    Mullets: It's bad enough when you see men going round with them, but there seems to be a trend of teenage girls now adopting this hairstyle. They are seriously awful and always make the wearer look less attractive.

    Live albums: If you want to see a band live, go to the concert. Listening to your favourite band singing in front of a large crowd, sitting on your sofa just isn't the same. Isn't it better to hear them singing clearly from a studio instead?

    Designer clothes: I don't understand why people are so into paying crazy money because of a name on a lable.... a pair of jeans are a pair of jeans whether you pay €20 or €200. They all look the same to me!

    Whiskey: Now, I've tasted very expensive whiskey before and it still tastes like something you'd use to strip car paint off. It makes me gag and I can't understand how people can drink this stuff straight for enjoyment. Same with brandy *shudders*

    Sometime you just can't.. (they dont play around, or are not alive anymore!) - I did enjoy e lot watching few live albums (Pixies -unplugged from some summer festival -with cold beer in hand I just felt for a moment like I was there! ;) )

    Large single hooved ungulate domesticated mammals with smaller more intelligent bipedal primates astride. The latter steers the former between two points (A and B) and the pairing who gets to point B first recieve pieces of paper which the bipedal primates can exchange for goods and services.

    Many bipedal primates will gather to watch the spectacle and will often often try to predict the future against people who know better with their pieces of paper of arbitrary value.

    getting up in the middle of the night to watch some sporting event you normally would have no interest in, but just because some Irish person is in it,,,

    Real Irish clubs? Not everyone has a club near them to support and the ones near me, about an hours drive, don't exactly play to a high level now. It's not like Ireland is blessed with a thriving football league - far from it.

    Get a life yourself and open your eyes.

    Thing is you probably turn on a game halfway through where you don't know anything about the teams, don't know what they're playing for or don't know any of the players.

    Football is a lot more than 90 minutes on a pitch. There's so many things going on before a ball is kicked. You have transfers, contracts, scandals, rumours, statistics etc.

    Then when the game is on you're looking at the tactics, who's playing well etc. Once you support a team then you're really emerged in it too, you go through the highs and lows of emotion watching a game.
