My pet peeve at the moment, our water immersion heater, every time someone in the house takes a shower, you have to wait an hour and a half till the water is semi-decent warm, its bloody freezing stepping out of that shower. I've asked the landlord countless times to install a power shower, hot water in an instant.

Mind you don't catch a cold from those cold showers at this time of year!

Those stupid reindeer decorations that are on about every second car at the moment. I love christmas and christmas decorations in general, but for some reason these things really annoy me.

I'll see your car reindeer antlers and raise you those wnakers who have eyelashes on their car headlights.

Seen a black Fiat Punto with them yokes on the car this morning nice n dark at 5.30 am on M7, one faint rear light and one front sidelight, instead of buying them (albeit for charity) should have bought a few bulbs for the car, (or a lighting Rudolph nose)

Definitely not people sitting on buses with no ventilation and refusing to open the windows so we're all breathing each other's germs, no nothing to do with it

You need an electric shower, a power shower still uses the hot tank, so will still need the hour to heat up again, and the noise of the motor doesn't impress neighbors in developments with paper thin walls.

Goes along the same lines as me being in a humour and someone comes up to me and says 'Cheer up'. :mad:

About this time last year my dad was dying and I had left the hospital to go get a bowl of soup and time to clear my head. Went to the carvery of the local
Hotel, it was late enough and hardly anyone was there. There was this old fella slurping into his pint at the bar when I went to pay. He says "cheer up". Which I ignored. Then he said "cheer up it might never happen". I said it already has. He kept pushing and asking what happened that was so bad and I snapped "my fathers dying". And he was so apologetic. I almost felt bad for saying it but meh, I doubt he'll ever tell anyone to cheer up again the prick

I'm in two minds about whether to go home for Christmas. My dad told me last night that I "ruined his Christmas" two years ago when my aunt and I had a row and I was skuttered drunk. My response was along these lines.

Ok, why say it now? And did you say the same thing to my aunt, who started it in the first place? (Admittedly I finished it with a flourish!)
I admit I was wrong, too. I will hold out the olive branch if I meet her.

Being warned not to drink until after the turkey sucks balls. I'm anxious already! (I'm 37 by the way!!!!!!)

Lucky sod. I'd love to get outrageously mouldy by about 3pm and fling the more unpleasant turkey giblets at certain individuals. I usually don't sit down to a gallon of port until eight or nine, by which time the humour is gone off me somewhat and I'm more looking forward to a few pints on St. Stephen's.

I also got drunk at Christmas when I was a teenager and performed lewd acts using parts of the turkey (especially the neck) to a cringing family audience...

They don't trust me anymore!!!

Ticket prices... I would really like to see AC/DC in my lifetime, but oddly enough I don't have €90 to spend on myself the week before Christmas.

Went shopping yesterday with my best friend and her 4 month old. Obviously I got lots of cuddles from him and she took a photo and put it up on facebook. Pretty much all the comments are people thinking they're funny and original saying it suits me. Yeah cause having a child is an accessory.

You take way too much notice of people, Lexmeister. May I recommend a life of complete beetle-headed serene obliviousness? Maybe you need to be over 40 to pull that off properly... :pac:

Fcuk going to see them now, invest in the Let there be rock DVD, it was one of Bonn Scott's last gigs with them and probably one of the best concerts available in film, the Highway to Hell road show live in Paris from 1979.

"All set for Christmas?"
"No, I am going to cancel it this year"
"Oh, I can't cancel it, I have three kids. Ah you know, it makes it"

.....

I don't want to dredge up the us v them in relation to parents/non-parents but again, another smug declaration that Christmas is not really Christmas without children. God help all the poor childless souls sitting at home without kids to make Christmas for them. There will be no booze or catching up with friends and family or nice Christmas dinner for them. Nope, not a bean...because, you know....it's the children that make Christmas. Funny, I thought it was Jesus's birthday that did that :rolleyes:

BC: Oh I couldn't eat a fry now at this hour of the morning!

Me: Mmhmm...

BC: Ohh that looks lovely!

Me: It is...

BC: Can I try some of those mushrooms? Oh your egg is after splitting, oh...

Me: *glares*

Ah the food commentators. Bain of my life and general thorn in my side. Even the smell of food is enough to send them up a gear. Have they never seen food before? Are they forced to live on oats and boiled potatoes? Why do they sniff and smell other people's food but then deprive themselves? Is it a weird sex game where they smell other people's food all day and practice extreme deprivation and then sit on the kitchen floor at home scoffing and gobbling when nobody is watching? Who can solve the mystery of the food commentators?

So long since I commented on this thread (with an old user name) but I have to jump back in for the food commentators.
Oh, you're having chips, they smell lovely, etc..

JUST FCKU OFF and let me have my lunch in peace

People who stink of the food they ate the night before. Garlic is the worst. Yak. Are we not disgusting enough creatures without having to ooze garlic from our pores.

This is sometimes a necessary evil - especially if your with one of those who insist on buying you more drink when you're already full to the brim and they themselves are a mix of Mrs. Doyle and Fr. Jack.

Ooooh awkward, I wasn't home last night. Il pass on your thanks to granny.

I really couldn't care less about Christmas. I'm not religious, so no reason to celebrate it. I don't want people spending money on useless gifts, it'd be much better if it was just another normal day off work with a meal, and if we wanted something for ourselves we could buy it, because we hadn't wasted tons of money on useless things for others.

But, y'know, gotta keep up the show.

Christmas isn't originally a religious celebration - it's the celebration of the winter solstice, I'm not sure why it's on the 25th instead of the 21st but it's probably because when the church decided to hijack the holiday they wanted to distinguish it from the original pagan festival on the 21st.

Aye I know that, but now it IS a religious holiday, really. Though I wouldn't mind having a dinner to celebrate the solstice, outdoors!

Which brings to mind an annoyance: people who attend the "hocus pocus (I'm the best dressed person in the parish) show" only at christmas - why bother?
