Never found Dara O'Brien or however you spell his name to be funny not even back in the Buzzcocks days. Everything about him irritates me.

I'm like that with Sue Perkins. I don't watch any of this nonentity come dancing bakeoff on ice crap anyway so I can avoid any programmes she presents, but if she's on QI or something I literally can't bear to watch it. Don't know why, she might be a lovely person, I just can't stand her.

I sat behind Dara O'Brien on a flight from Heathrow to Cork. The woman next to him must have got up and fiddled with her stuff in the overhead bin about twenty times and he had to stand there and wait every time. He was very calm and polite with her, I would have gone mad.

And all their going to do is wait for the oracle site to come back online, and do it for her for the $14!!

flight is in 2 weeks!!!!

JUST WAIT A DAY OR 2, IT WILL BE BACK SOON

I think those unoffical sites are actually scams and you never get your ETSA.

The traffic is mental and the rain is torrential out there. Nobody is taking care on the roads, there's two accidents in the centre already. It's bad enough trying to drive through flooding and bad visibility but people literally walk in between cars scaring the living daylights out of you.

Coming down the N7 this afternoon as the rain was starting to get heavy and the spray kicking up, a lorry overtakes another one so the green bus decides to overtake the two of them, then all the brakelights go on, but didn't realise there were so many cars ahead, about 50% only had lights on,
What is it with no indicators, are they optional extras on cars now, that no one opted for??

Got more and more annoyed as the day went on, I now feel like fúcking my phone off the wall!

Would love to go to bed now and just sleep for about 12 hours!

I get trivially annoyed when people use the term "mutually exclusive," because I always have to stop and think about what it means exactly, before I can realise what the person is trying to say. It also trivially annoys me that for other people (mainly tv characters) it seems to just roll of the tongue, whereas for me it confuses the hell out of me.

She managed to cancel the request and get a full refund, which surprised me!!

Still TA'd that she'd go to a site like that, but she's a little crazy when it comes to Internet/email!!
(She'll check in for a flight, then delete all confirmation emails associated with the booking!!!)

Another one: yesterday was my first time connecting through Boston Airport. I would say "never again", except that I have to go through there again on the way back. No airside connection between terminals, so you have to go through security again. I deliberately allowed 2h for my connection, but what with my flight from Dublin being 1/2h late, figuring out how to get to the other terminal, getting there, and a monster TSA queue, I made it with 5 mins to spare.

Then that flight was delayed by 1/2 h because the girl sat next to me didn't have the right paperwork for her oxygen machine, which had to be faxed over from her doctor. Which took three attempts because JetBlue couldn't give their own fax number correctly. All of this playing out in the front of the plane for all to hear.

(Some good stuff: Ryanair could learn a thing or two from JetBlue. They have live TV on seat back for the whole flight, and at least 10cm more legroom than I've ever had in economy. That had the additional positive benefit of allowing pax to store bags under the seat in front and still have somewhere to put their feet. Plus one checked bag is free. The flight was packed without that stuffed-to-the-gills feeling you get on Ryanair.)

For me it's the annoying, unfunny idiot who seems to be permanently attached to his hip - Ed Byrne. I wish Dara would stop constantly throwing him a career lifebuoy.

Simon Coveney - wanting to inspire other countries by taking in too many Syrians. Hungary has sent their bleedin' army to stop them arriving and this fool thinks Ireland is setting an example.

Hungary is a very right wing country-not something we should aspire to. And it is not a competition on who can help the most syrians...it is just doing what we can to help people.
Simply helping people who are trying to escape unimaginable horror under ISIS.

Thanks for explaining this. I thought we were being foolish by taking in a higher quota than expected. Thank goodness we're not like that horrible Hungary. I'm off now to buy a house in Balbriggan because I know once they arrive nearby at the centre properties in the area will jump in value. I'm also doing a sponsored walk to raise money to help build a mosque in the area. Thanks to Simon, it's all about inspiring other countries to do the same (except that nasty Hungary).

Yeah, lets not help people in dire need in case our house prices are effected. Lets leave them to be raped and murdered instead. FFS.

Where in ireland have we ever experienced what is happening to the Yazidi people for example?
Where in ireland are towns of 1000 plus people getting wiped off the map?
Their residents shot, raped and burried alive en masse. No family left alone.
Babies shot in front of their mothers before they themselves get raped.

Educate youself and come back to us. Actually dont, I cant be reading these vile posts of yours.

Don't then. Even if we take in 10 times our quota of these people it won't inspire any other European country to do the same. Simon Coveney is a bad politician for believing this.

People who end posts (not just on Boards) with 'hope this helps'.

Dunno why it annoys me, nobody said these trivial things had to make sense.

I hardly think the humanitarian crisis that is Syrian refugees is a trivial thing so move on please, plenty of other forums to discuss the issue

Oh yes, another one, the dramatically increasing apostrophe plague. Not just the greengrocer's apostrophe (apple's) but the notion that anywhere there is an n next to a t it needs an apostrophe. Don't or can't is fine, but the apostrophe in redundan't is really redundant.

So is the last letter in James's (hospital).

Yeah, why is it
St James's gate
St James's park
St James's hospital etc
When he is a singular person St James, like St Stephen...
but seems to become St Stephensssss day.

He is still St James, so an apostrophe after the s' does, not a second s.

All the Lidl and Aldi ads get on my tits.

They are worse than the bloody Trivago ones. Every ad break.

The mad thing is both shops are dearer than Supervalu own brand stuff going by the Lidl flyer that came through the door last week!

I really thought I'd seen the last of the fruit flies/gnats.
Hadn't seen one in well over two weeks.

I opened a bottle of white wine this evening; poured a glass....AND TWO GNATS appeared out of nowhere!

I was on a date once and got an emergency call from my sister who had seen a mouse in her apartment.
I hate mice but ended up bringing my date to my sisters so I could sort the problem out.
My sister and date ended up standing on the table drinking wine while I had my trousers tucked in my socks hunting the mouse and his family....

This is not even trivial. When a driver comes right up to me with their headlights on, I can't see what's in front of me, which is.... kind of horrifically dangerous.

Mice and rats give me the fear. My skin is crawling thinking about them.
