People who demolish gardens:mad: A fairly recent neighbour of ours just cut down two fabulous trees in his back yard, dick head. They were the nicest trees in the neighbourhood, they'll probably pave over it with concrete or put decking there. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have gardens. I don't care that it's his garden either:p

did he have a felling order...it is illegal to cut down trees unless they are eg too near the house...just a thought...;)

Is it to do with lent? I know that in the good old catholic God fearing days, pancake Tuesday was because for the whole of lent they weren't supposed to have dairy so used up the last of it making pancakes the day before Ash Wednesday. On Easter sunday they were allowed dairy again so they decorated eggs. As people's standard of living increased and companies saw a whole in the market to make sh!t loads of money, the chocolate egg came about just like how Coca Cola came along and made St Nick red.

Gossip Girl the tv show.

I don't normally like anything like this, this is no exception. I hate it, but can't stop watching all the rich beautiful people with terrible acting skills.

My OHs housemate was watching it months ago, and she's 30, so I figured it can't be too bad. I got hooked.

Send help, I'm an Easter egg down, still in my PJs and have the second series downloading.

Wrong Grace. The wildlife act1980, and subsequent, does not apply to private dwellings. They also do not apply if residential hedging.

Get Real

People who use self service machines at tesco and encounter a problem within seconds.

Please, its not the machine, its you. Learn how to use them or else use the conventional checkout.

Some woman trying to do her weekly shop on the bloody thing the other day.

Slowly examining every product for a barcode, scanning as if she's six years old and gets to play "check out", halfway through, places handbag in bagging area, then fcuks up whole process.

Arrive at checkout, press "brought own bag", place bag open, scan and pack, pay, bag already packed so you're not spending eternity packing goods after.

And some ppl have the cheek to get upset at these machines when clearly they've created their own problem.

And perhaps this is something trivial ppl will hate about me, but I love zooming up, scanning, and be done. Sorry for being an ar*ehole, but all I want to buy is a 27cent banana ffs!:p

I'm not going to steal. I earn more than you, and looking at your prices (Arnotts) you are the ones trying to rob me.

The security guard in our Lidl. He looks at you like you're in to rob one of the lovlies out of the center aisle bins. I know the poor fcuker is bored stupid but I always laugh a bit. I can wander into the main DC for Lidl and chunter around fixing stuff, surrounded by mile after mile of stock and somehow resist the temptation, but fcuk me sonny, these plastic slippers, by jasus I've an awful gra to slip a pair up me jumper and do a runner.

I didn't think dairy was off limits, I'm fairly sure that the ingredients for pancakes were just generally used for deserts and cakes and such and you'll be having none of that for Lent.

Barry Egan's sycophantic columns. He is at it again recently re
bankrupt developer, Bernard McNamara, who, apparently, is about to become a grandad for the first time. A happy event, no doubt,
but the tone of the article is brown nosing in the extreme!!

When your interested in a particular subject (so much so you'd be considered a bit of an anorak) and you know that journalists have pretty much lifted a press release and have failed to ask important questions or even ask a question.

has failed to answer it!!

Or when a Interviewer asks a question when it has already been answered by the interviewee.

Interviewer: You have been working in this area for a number of years...
Interviewee: Yes I been working in the industry for 20 years I was just 15 when I started
Interviewer: Wow what age where you then?

I gave up on trying to read the Sunday Independent a long time ago, the standard of 'journalism' in it is abysmal, in my opinion.
He is one of the worst, I used to wonder what would become of him if some of the people he follows around, ever left the country.

I accidentally shoplifted a jar of strawberry jam from Lidl a few years ago. I'd been shopping elsewhere and it fell down behind other shopping bags. I'm fortunate the security guard wasn't on the ball that day. It would have been mortifying.

Some of these shop security guards could use a lesson in manners. I remember one day we were in Dunnes, there was a young muslim couple with a child doing their shopping and he insisted on searching their bags, due to his aggressive attitude they were reluctant to let him. Long story short they let him, he found nothing and I don't know what the point of it was.

He'd follow them. That's what lap dogs do.

This is really trivial, and it doesn't annoy me but I occasionally wonder why shops bother having signs up asking people to only use the baskets and trolleys provided by the store.
People blatantly disregard the signs, but the shop management never seem to enforce it anyway so what is the point even having the signs.

My local Dunnes has a sign on the travelator saying "Do not walk on the travelator"

Who on earth has the time or patience to actually just stand and wait on one of those things?

Someone like me who's wearing runners when it's raining outside and the travelator moves at an angle. I cling on for dear life as it's highly likely I'll go flying down it if I try to walk. Those things are slippery as hell.

Wipe your feet before getting on it

Acquaintances (e.g. reps) who make a point of trying to demonstrate how interested they are in you and your life by following up on things you mentioned last time you spoke, such as family members they'll never meet and have zero interest in. You think I don't know you just read up your notes on me in the car before you came in?

No, she just had her head scarf on and was in ordinary clothes. There was no way of mistaking her as Roma.

In-movie predictions. I mean, why try blurt out your predictions as the movie/tv show is playing?

"OH MY GOD HE's GOING TO KILL HI- TOLD YA!!"

Possibly the most annoying thing you can do when watching something.

Is that what they're called? Travelators. Well bedejaysus.

I've no problem with them except for the knobs who stand in the middle and worse the dickwads that leave the trolley right in the middle or crossways so you can't get past either side. At least you can ask the knobs to get out of the way but the trolleys are stuck there.

Standing in a filling station, waiting to get a coffee, and the lad(it's nearly always a lad) using the self-service machine ahead of you insists on adding 22 sugars, a dash of milk, taste, then a dash more, some stirring, taste...GET THE FCUK ON WITH IT FFS!!!!Or do your Darina Allen impression off to one side, so us unfussy ones can get our black with a dash of milk.

Then, then they usually do the whole "I have never seen a lid before! How do these wondrous things go onto the cup??" thing. All the while standing at the machine, a zombified, frothing queue of caffeine addicts slowly writhing with inner demons behind them. If I had a machete at times like those, I feel bad things could happen.

Grocery shopping.
I don't know what's going on but I really hate it lately :mad:

And what the hell is a 'travelator'??

On asking a group at a party the other day whether they watched some programme on the TV during the week, or have you seen Breaking Bad on Netflix yet etc - the unanimous response was “Oh I don’t watch a lot of TV, don’t have the time – no didn’t see it”.

My reply back was “Jesus are you serious, if I didn’t have TV and the internet my life would be pretty vacant and boring, and there’s certain days I look forward to because of what’s on that night”.

Lying bast4ards the lot of them I reckon.

I don't watch tv and haven't seen a series for years. I don't even have a smartphone. We do exist!

That or if in a coffee shop queue where someone has to make the enormous decision of which type of scone they would like, currant, no,plain, no, currant...while the queue builds, and the staff member waits patiently.

Tell you what, try one today, and the other type next time around.

Came across the article accidentally when McNamara's name popped up!
