The irish water megathread

Irish water protestors putting protest notices on lamp posts, the bloody things are everywhere and they don't bother to take them down. Why in the hell is Sinn Fein behind most of it? The shinners are getting too much of a grip on my town for my liking, it's not healthy or helpful either.

If you don't agree with gender quotas for politicians then you must be sexist. There are other reasons why people think they're a bad idea.

As a woman I've never agreed with positive discrimination. We all know about the glass ceiling, but jobs should be filled by the most qualified person. Employing/promoting a woman based on gender diminishes her abilities and achievements and is quite patronising.

That's the thing about decorating, from a distance it seems like a great idea, once you start though it's a whole other ball game. All the masking off and white work and painting, and before that you've to choose a colour. We have 6 different sample shades on our bedroom wall since last Summer and we still haven't found one we like. Am gonna have to find a colour I can live with soon or I'll go mad looking at the patches of colour. Oh, pulling furniture around, how could I have forgotten what a joy that it?:(

Back North of the border? I think you need to look up your history & the founding of Sinn Fein.

People parked in bus lanes with their hazard lights flashing, which means they have an immediate licence to park there, which in turn is the right to force cyclists into main stream traffic in rush hour when they suddenly swing their drivers door open without checking the traffic properly. Stoopid woman nearly killed me doing that recently. For some reason it was all my fault?!?!?!

Country and Irish music.

Me too with regard to the latter. I can't understand why country and irish music (that is Mike Denver, Derek Ryan, all them type of fellas) has the following it does. It is easily the worst music I ever heard. It has one leg in boybandland and the other in paddywhackeryland with a blatant disregard for real country music. I prefer to call it boyfolk than country and irish.

Perhaps, the only song as annoying as bad Irish country ones is Trumpets by Jason Derulo. That song and its horrid video are the most annoying cheese I ever heard this side of Mike Denver. Now, what would really be my worst nightmare would be a country and irish boyfolk cover of it!

I guess poor music is the result of the conveyor belt of here today gone tomorrow songs, bands and artists. The personal touch and genuine topics that made older songs and artists much more substantial is lacking in most modern pop acts and Irish country singers. Dancing, fashion parading, the video, etc. often come before the song and the performance is as much about the act as it is about the song. And it shows!

I think these Irish Water protesters can be very offputting and are not doing their cause any good with their attitudes sometimes. The main issue I have with them is not their protest but that it has become the a springboard for any opportunistic politician to use to further their careers. We have been jaded by politics and politicians over the last 7 years and I don't believe in any of them anymore. Ruth Coppinger, Paul Murphy, etc. are all self styled Socialist Republicans who would justify supporting the very parties they give out about if they were needed to make up numbers for a government. Make no mistake about it: these people's aims are furthering their own careers in the very flawed and imperfect profession of politics.

It's just been so long since I remember helping my mother to hang out clothes on the washing line. I was only a child at the time. Ever since I moved out of home at 16, I've just always brought my clothes and other laundry to the laundrette

I love drying stuff outside. It's so satisfying to see sheets and towels flapping in the clean wind First sign of sun and I wash everything that's not nailed down. Poor cats had to share their blankets last night because I washed all twenty of them yesterday and they weren't dry in time for bed :P Even though they weren't dirty, I just had to wash them. And you can't wash some. Because then the clean ones will be mixing with the very clean ones and that is a travesty

In this town they aren't even leaving it at one protest on a particular day, it's protests in every estate in the town. So many aspiring politicians are jumping on board this. Interestingly enough, Sinn Fein are against water charges but want the introduction of a smokeless fuel zone to the town, which would apparently see increases of up to 160 euro per year for people to heat their homes. They kept that to themselves until a former member brought it to public attention.:rolleyes:

It annoys me when I'm using the self-service checkout in Supervalu, and while I'm still using it, a member of staff comes over and reaches around/under me to remove the empty baskets or used receipts. I find it so rude and intrusive. Piss off!

ShiftStorm

A colleague who is lovely in every other way but is a complete hypochondriac/attention-seeker when it comes to her health. She'll sigh loudly, limp exaggeratedly, sneeze loudly like a child without covering her face or whatever comical symptom it takes until myself or a colleague thinks to ask 'oh, are you not feeling well?'

"Well funny you should ask..." and then goes into way too much detail about her latest hernia or boil or infected toe. She spends an absolute fortune on seeing the doctor and all sorts of potions for her imaginary ailments and then is magically better within one day.

ACK! :mad:

When someone is trying to do the right thing with the best of intentions , but going about it the wrong way and being such an asshole about it that you wish they never bothered and you almost resent them for it. You find yourself almost wanting to do something to spite them.

People who say obligated when they mean obliged. It actually, genuinely makes me grind my teeth. And it's becoming more and more widespread, particularly on Board.

Always astounds me how much money people will waste going to the doctor for every minor ailment. It's always my last port of call-I nearly ended up being hospitalised last year for a kidney infection that I let go on too long. I was willing myself to get better without antibiotics because it was one week away from me leaving for Canada and I simply didn't have time to be sick.

I used to work in a few hostels about Dublin, that was one I thought was hilarious at first, until an Australian girl started working with me, when it was repeated constantly I got well annoyed by it.

On Saturday morning, I was in a tent in the middle of nowhere and woken up by a angry call from a customer in Ghana. That annoyed the bejaysus out of me.

TA that I agreed to go to the gym with my oh after work today. What was I thinking??

Robsweezie

those who offer insincere apologies. often, but not always, they aren't truly sorry for their actions, they're sorry they were caught out lying, or challenged on their behaviour. they would likely have carried on acting the **** had they not been confronted, and not batted an eyelid. the apology is a mere inconvenience to them, just to save face and keep the peace.

this is particularly true with those in the public eye, who make some sort of insensitive joke or comment, thinking its funny, then when there's a massive backlash against them, they quickly appear making some grovelling apology. its often just damage control and nothing more. the whole zendaya ''weed'' controversy is a good example of such a case.

She popped up on Sky news earlier and I instantly had to switch channels. I don't think I've ever come across someone who is so insincere at trying to appear sincere. I just can't stand her.
