Currently looking at the Penguin Cam for Dublin Zoo and there is a big spider web right in front of it. Wasn't too bad until the sun hit it.

Is there nothing the porn industry hasn't given us?

Someone should tell them that's not how you broadcast on the web…

You may all mock but I know everyone of you has gone looking for the cam. So I am going to be the bigger person here and put a link to it.
FYI, penguin porn is a thing.

We missed feeding time

We have a brand new webcam overlooking the penguin habitat at Dublin Zoo, so you can watch our 14 penguins play, sleep and feed at any time, night or day.

The penguin feeding time is 2.30pm daily!

Please give the page a moment to load.

It annoys me when people are talking about concerts and they say "So and so is playing the 02 Dublin"

I don't know why but it just gets on my nerves , why can't they just finish the sentience and say they are playing a concert in the 02! ...

Another one is Donal Skehan haha, i know that is not exactly Trivial but he just gets on my nerves!!

No at all my good man, every opportunity for "same bat time, same bat channel" must be taken.

Dylan McGrath on Masterchef: "it needs more seasoning".

Seasoning?

If he's such a cooking genius why can't he say "it needs 5 grains of ground up cumin, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and a small pinch of thyme".

Seasoning??? What are the contestants supposed to do with that advice? Chuck a shelf's worth of herbs and spices into it in the hope that some of them will be the "seasoning" to which he refers?

Gets on my nerves.

I always thought they were basically saying it needs more salt and/or pepper. I might have picked it up totally wrong. It would explain why I'm so bad at cooking…

People who can't/ won't multiquote and will instead post five times in a row. Is your postcount that important to you?

One of the judges for 'The Great Irish Bake Off' used 'there's something gone wrong with the recipe' a few times.

Something. You can't be more specific, no?

Inception is hardly an arty farty movie, is it? It's not set in Sweden for one thing and it doesn't involve middle age people in a disintegrating marriage with a fondness for root vegetables…

Mr. Chrome

When I'm trying to watch the news the OH has to give me a running commentary on every news story as they come on the tv.
"I love ya but please shut the **** up and let me hear the real news, and not how your mother told ya it happened"

The plural of Taoiseach, thee-shig. Whenever I hear it I shudder.

I heard Christmas music in the supermarket today. Way too early for my liking.

Oops69

Radio ads for the big Charities , you know the ones with the big CEO salaries , they just seem to be waiting on the next natural disaster in wherever and they reel out the generic ad with 'our man in X land after the typhoon' on a fake fuzzy line with fake helicopters over head , when the representative is really in the offices in ballsbridge . If they're going to insult my intelligence with this crap we really are f*****, honesty does pay off sometimes guys !

When pianist Doherty , the Sinn FEin guy from Donegal pronounces Taoiseach in the northern dialect as in 'Teesha', only 40 k speak the language and they still manage to have three dialects!

I like the spell check for Piarais , so I'm leaving it like that :P

Christmas in all its forms, haaaaate it.

I hate when I'm in a queue at the airport that isn't moving, and the people behind me get itchy and start pushing up almost alongside me, so it feels like they're trying to skip the queue. Hate being able to see them out of the corner of my eye.

It's like "listen pal, the queue isn't moving, so why not just stand the f*ck behind me and wait, because standing on my f*cking shoulder is NOT going to help....":rolleyes:

I hate the way Michael Noonan says the year 2013 as "Two Thirteen" :mad:

Festy

When I'm at home or in the car and I'm smoking a rollie the ****ing ashes go everywhere, basically anytime I'm sitting down :mad:

Anyone who smokes rolllies will know what I mean.

SusieBlue

Getting shouted at for 10 minutes today by an irate customer at work, over a mistake made by my manager. Said manager hid in the back because he "couldn't be dealing with the likes of her". So instead of him dealing with with the problem he created, I had to listen to "This just isn't good enough!!!!" on repeat while I apologised profusely.

So despite the fact I only work there 2 days a week, the fact that it wasn't my fault, in fact it was nothing at ALL to do with me, I got the blame for it while a whole host of other customers looked on awkwardly.

Sometimes I wonder is the €8.65 p/h even worth it when stuff like this happens.

You should find a pothole to pull into and let all the impatient gombeens pass.

It is always safer to let the people behind you move by in a safe manner which means pulling in to allow the queue of traffic move on.

In classic French cookery, and therefore to professional chefs, it refers specifically to salt and pepper.

Eh? Where does it say that? According to the Oxford English Dictionary it means,
"That seasons, that adds a flavour or relish."

Even wikipedia says "Seasoning is the process of adding salt, herbs, or spices to food to enhance the flavor."

Tesco staff trying to get me to use the self-service check-out. No, I'm not paid to work here. There was a time when Tesco used to pay people to check-out groceries, I'm not about to be their slave.
