    People who will blame anything on the British. Pothole down the road? Sure dont you know the British used it and never repaired it. 5 euro for a sandwich? Well if the British didn't steal everything during the famine they would be cheaper.

    Ah now

    "Goujons" is worse, and it's a catch-22 pronouncing it. Do it properly and sound like a knob, or don't sound like a knob but sound like a stupid culchie who can't pronounce fordin words.

    On that note "expresso"

    I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything like that in my life.

    I think you're hanging around with the stupider elements of society if they think pronouncing goujons properly makes you sound like a knob.

    I'll be sure to pass your opinion on to the elements :rolleyes: French pronunciation of words doesn't slot well or naturally into a sentence in most Irish accents, it's a word pronounced GOWjins most of the time by most people who say it, so yeah, getting all fancy with it does sound a bit knobby in my own personal opinion.

    It's probably asking too much that they be restricted to Christmas Eve only, so that I wouldn't have to be bombarded with advertisements about ordering a three piece suite now in time for Christmas!

    Who the hell even does that?

    "I ordered an €800 suite just in case we had visitors over"... said nobody, ever!

    Micra drivers are either too old, too nervous, driving without a full licence or just too imbecilic to drive more than half the speed limit

    Drivers who aren't looking where they're going, see a pedestrian at the last second, then slam the anchors on and try to wave you across. Not realising that the pedestrian has seen you coming already, and is watching and waiting for the car to just go past, and isn't waiting for your permission to cross the road.

    I had one the other day: he came screaming round a corner, saw me at the side of the road, and stopped in the middle of the junction and tried to wave me across. No. I saw you coming, and I'm not going to walk in front of you after that performance. You're too late, you're an idiot, and now you'e blocking the road. Just go ahead and feck off down the road out of everyone's way ... I can afford to wait the extra 1.2 seconds. :mad:

    Pedestrian crossings in stupid places.
    In my town, there's two crossings that whoever designed them I'm sure was dumb as all fock.

    1 is on the very top of a humpback bridge and the other one is just as you turn into a shopping centre carpark from the Main Street that people cross in dribs and drabs I'm surprised none of the stupid ****ers that run across without looking where they're going haven't been killed yet

    There's one where I live that is across a speed ramp, that's all well and good but just up the road there's another speed ramp and it is not a crossing. It's just a ramp. The amount of absolute gobshítes that just walk out on the road without looking and expecting you to stop is astounding!

    Bus stops. Why must there be one every 50 metres?

    Anyone who knows the two right by Harolds Cross hospice, or the three right by Rathfarnham village (when heading out of town) will know what I mean. I've timed less than 20 seconds between the engine starting back up from one and stopping at the other on both of those cases, and there are dozens more around Dublin. Annoys the f'k out of me.

    Too many questions after leaving the loo!

    "You were in there for ages"
    "I was going to the toilet"
    "What too you so long?"
    "...."
    "Well..."
    "I WAS GOING FOR A MASSIVE ****"

    ****s sake :mad:

    Having followed this thread since almost the beginning I've come to the realisation that the majority of people (not going to single out anyone, but lets just say I'm a bit older and not wiser than I am when I started reading it...:P) would be considerably happier if buses did not exist.

    Perfect election mantra for a government party; vote me in and I'll do away with buses!

    "I need to lay down". People need to be more specific when they say that, do they mean carpet or wooden floors or artificial grass?

    Walkers that don't pull their dogs in as you're approaching them on the footpath. Not slightly loose, a piss taking 3ft diagonally across the path.

    Busy road, one side, muddy grass verge on the other. I ain't moving..
