The 80's were pretty cool in and for Ireland in many ways. Pretty shít too with the recession/emigration of course. Ireland was a very young nation at the time. Youngest demographic in Europe. We had started to get shot of the overpowering influence of the church. Things were loosening up. Particularly from mid 80's on. Decades in our heads are never bookended neatly by chronology. The 60's barely touched here except in the latter end, the 70's lasted longer and IMHO Irelands 80's started in 85 and ended in 95(ish). We were starting to really be seen on a world stage with U2 and others. More people were exposed to more outside culture with simple stuff like more cable TV outside Dublin. More big name bands came here. Stuff like that We seemed to become less cut off. At the start of the 80's I knew guys in Dublin without home phones and a couple without tellies, I'd even been in houses in the west that only recently got "the 'lectric". By '90 that was another world.


Cue peeps chiming in with I effin hate rambling off topic merchants. Right kuntz... :D

Akrasia

Naggers

People who walk their horses through my estate and let them crap in the middle of the road.

If I take my neighbour's dog out, and it does a little poo in the grass at the side of the road, I (as I am expected to) pick it up in a bag and take it to a bin. Yet when some rich kid takes their horse through my road they feel entitled to leave a big, steaming, malodourous pile of excrement right in the middle of the road??? The piles tend to be about 2 foot in diameter and about half a foot tall. I don't care if they have to carry three super size bin bags with them, they should scoop that stuff up. It's not the poo that annoys me, but the fact they they'd never be prepared to have poo in their own street.

jc_eire

stubborn people really rile me :mad:

Raekwon

People who constantly highlight our peoples flaws just to make themselves feel better about their own miserable existence.

To drag it back on topic, I am gonna say people who don't appreciate the 80s annoy me.

Whingers.

Grumpy fecks/people who don't make any effort - there is a particular subgroup of people who are socially lazy, expect YOU to entertain/regale/amuse THEM but couldn't be arsed themselves.

Bad hosts.

Fussy eaters - I think it says a lot about a person. I don't think I've met one fussy eater that hasn't annoyed me in a much more comprehensive sense too.

Casual rudeness & selfishness.

Just general narrow mindedness/gossip/b1tching - all part of the same thing really.

Come to think of it, there are a lot of not very nice people about.

I'll give you 20 types. At the moment, the 'it's cool to be dumb crowd are particularly annoying me', but it switches between those 20 on a weekly basis.

'Persecution' I presume you meant.
Not at all, that would be absurd. I can take being challenged on my views and opinions. In fact I like to keep an open mind as it stops me getting complacent and means I can take on board new ideas and ways of thinking-even those radically different from my own if I think they have merit, then I can integrate them into my own personal beliefs and values.

im not sure what your entire rant is about but do tell me about your life in Sweden, I'm intrigued...

You have a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word rant if you think that was one. The fact that you don't know what I mean doesn't surprise me given your posts and is part of the problem. You sound quite young so perhaps that's partly the reason at least.

paky wrote: »

Eh, no.
What on earth does that have to do with anything, never mind the thread topic? that's a rhetorical question BTW, I don't really want to know.

And with that it's clear to me our conversation has reached it's conclusion as far as I'm concerned.

this was never a conversation, it was a lecture from a religious fanatic on her views on feminism, the english language and abortion spurred on by her 8 years in Sweden :pac:

Mance Rayder

People who say "Like" and "Like, You Know?" all the feckin TIME.

People who say "Going forward" when referring to plans and things concerning the future. Well you can hardly go backwards now can you?


Scangers and Knackers. Low IQ Pyjama and tracksuit types.

Die hard Footy/Rugby/GAA heads who can talk about nothing else day in day out. Get a life.

Well I think that covers just about everyone in this country. Oh yeah slappers and binge drinkers that give the Irish a bad reputation internationally.

Narky little keyboard warriors that have no problem listing things and people they don't like but can't take the slightest criticism of themselves/their own views without reacting like a spoilt child and thinks personal abuse make their agruement more valid:pac:

People who talk out their arse on subjects they know nothing about and then argue with you. And when you finally get it through their thick head (if you want to give yourself a headache doing that) that they were wrong in the first place they get all defensive and offended.

Negative people that have to whinge and moan about everything. Complainy wah wah wah. Someone complains that they have to do X. I say, Ok I'll do X I don't mind, but what do they do? They complain even more about it. Offering to help is like some kind of whinge catalyst.
Honest to God my brain starts leaking out my ears listening to this crap. It actually brings me down and depresses me. Fcuking assholes.

I hate people who tell stories with them as some kind of infallible protagonist. They're always right and everyone else is always wrong. Exaggerations abound and the truth is usually so twisted that the whole story might as well be a work of fiction by the end.

These people exist. They're out there. I've dropped one or two friends because they quite literally were draining the life force out of me. They're not your friends if they make you feel like crap.

I can never understand people doing that. I hate talking about other people like that, either infront of them or when they aren't there. It made me very uncomfortable. Infact it pissed me off a great deal, I hate that ****. It's like gossiping and bitching rolled into one.

This is the second time I've seen this particular complaint in this thread.

Who the hell BRAGS about never reading books? I've never in my life come across this.

I can't be the only one that finds this claim (that people brag about never reading books) a bit odd.

And are you sure that people "brag" about being crap at maths? Are you 100% sure in your heart of hearts that they are, in fact, trying to make themselves look good by stating that they are sh1t at maths? You're SURE?

I've seen a few people put things on facebook under the "books" section in "interests" like "Wats a buk lol!" and "Ya rite y wud i read a buk lol!"

I also recall one of the goons from Westlife a few years ago admitting that he'd never read a book outside school and didn't see any point in reading one. Not exactly mocking readers in this case, but not a great endorsement of the written word either.
