    The whole Anthony Foley thing was unseemly, totally over the top, gorging. Just awful.

    Agree. completely over the top.
    Foley was a real genuine,nice guy.
    But he would have been embarrassed by the whole thing if only he knew.
    And to make it worse, some of these event junkies jeered him last season when things weren't going well on the pitch.
    Total hypocrites.

    I'm sure Mr Foley was a thoroughly decent spud and nice guy, father, husband etc. But he is well down the list of 'famous Irish rugby players'.

    To see the amount of grief in his untimely passing, and all the pomp that accompanied it, I fear to think what this country would do if BOD, or Robbie Keane, Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill, Jack Charlton etc etc happened to die?

    Jez, we might as well shut the country down for a week or two.

    And if Gaybo went.......forgot about it. Lights out.

    People who were getting on their high horse over the media coverage of Anthony Foley.

    A little of it was overdone, granted, but he deserves the coverage.
    He achieved a lot in his short life.
    Downplaying his achievements comes across as jealous begrudgery.

    Who downplayed his achievements? Not the same as saying the coverage was OTT.

    People who dismiss any criticism they disagree with, of anything at all, as begrudgery.

    Apart from that, I heard not one person 'downplaying his achievements'.

    People who think they know it all but in reality know f*ck all, to wit; ''All UFC fans are frustrated angry men''. I'd be a very casual watcher of it so it doesn't really bother me personally but to say that about literally millions of people who like it is ridiculous and ignorant.

    People who are too arrogant to take any kind of advice,I have the pleasure of working with one of these tossers who ignores any advice or offer of help and then fooks up or a while later proclaims a solution as if they came up with it all by themselves-"yeah buddy,I told you that 3 days ago and you ignored me".

    A topknot is right up there with the fukwit beard but getting the head near shaved and leaving a bit hanging out the top. How does that work with the barber? "Number 1 all around but leave a long strand at the top, I want to tie it up to look like a knob on top of my head."

    Anyone who manipulates others with fine-tuned sob stories. If you don't bite you're the wanker. But on they go again, tapping others up for tea and sympathy until some poor auld eejit buys it and offers them favours or whatever they're after, because you can be guaranteed they're always after something. Biggest set of **** going.

    Came across an absolute tosser at the airport (as you often do) last week.

    I was at that WHSmith newsagents getting a magazine. I was using the self service machines they have and they require you scan your boarding pass. Bit of a pain but no big deal and I can see why they ask.

    Unfortunately a man in his 50s at the self service next to me didn't see it that way. He let out a big groan for everyone to hear. When a young girl came over to assist him he said in a loud voice to her "this is not a legal requirement. They shouldn't have to ask for this!" The man then left with his things in a big huff.

    Not only did he make a complete ass of himself, he slated some poor young girl likely on minimum wage for a corporate decision that's completely out of her control. Utter tool.

    I don't mind wearing jerseys in general but wearing them at the airport is a gripe of mine. Looks very tacky.

    I disagree. A little self respect when travelling never goes astray. Same as going into a restaurant. An airport is a destination in itself.
