    Butbutbutbutbut... doesn't it look nice and neat and clean (i.e. bare and "massacred" to death), now?

    And shur, birds fly away, what's your problem?

    🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    Calling them idiots would be paying them a compliment.

    What annoys me is people on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown picking two large numbers, thinking that makes it easier. It doesn't!!

    One large number to get you to the vicinity of the answer, and then you've an extra number to use to complete the surgical strike. Two large means more ways of getting to the bigger number (and wasting time) but fewer ways of being exact with your final answer.

    Not that I've ever thought about it much…

    On a bus journey earlier where a guy watched some tripe on his phone without using headphones. Aaaargh.

    I’m pretty sure today’s Chase is a repeat . There’s a Limerick woman on and I think I remember her name . Irish spelling of Barbra

    Highly unlikely they are actually from Google and you really shouldn't be clicking on links in emails like that.

    the amount of ads for death plans, cremations, funerals and associated cover is ridiculous…. They usually have some older person featured who has a really fake delighted expression akin to… “ ohhh isn’t this nice, I really can’t wait to be dead now “…..



  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭Kingslayer


    They always use 'when I go I don't want any fuss' on those death ads. Such an english attitude.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,678 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Yeah , when I go I want a band , and plenty of drink at my wake . I’ve worked and paid and raised the little eejits so I want a send off !

    99% of fresh fruit and veg comes in some kind of plastic wrapping these days which is bad enough, but the one thing I would like to see wrapped is not, sits there with just a little rubber band around the bunch. Spring onions/ scallions might taste good but they are stinky smelly things that leave everything else in the shopping with a faint smell of onion. TA'd that they are one of the few things not packaged but should be 😬

    Trying to figure out which bastards to vote for.

    Just seems to be grey old men, people I've never heard of and possible/actual fascists.

    There should be a summary (not written by themselves) of what they've done to deserve a vote to help me decide.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,987 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    just vote for whoever you think is most attractive.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,872 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    I wont be around on election day and it's slightly annoying me, you should be able to get a postal vote by request.

    Looking at work schedule, only got it yesterday, I won't be able to get to vote either. So guess I can pass on the electoral beauty contest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,713 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Obviously by people not voting for whoever they think is most attractive. Hence the suggestion above!

    I read a quote, recently (can't remember by whom it was), that said that the problem with choosing the better of two evils is that you're still choosing evil.

    there are no adverts on BBC TV. But christ they make up for it with all the adds on their websites.
    Multiple adds in a row in the middle of attempting to read down through one sporting article 😏

    This add cluster is in the middle of the article…. In addition there is the obligatory pop up looking for your email address… let me just access the site, read what i want and go about my day…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,010 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    I live beside a nice well looked after green area.

    The grass has been let grow about a foot high, but they've cut large sections , so kids have a play area and wildlife have a play area...win/win

    Walking though it today and right in the middle of the cut area is a massive turd.

    I swear to god I'm one step away from (if I ever found out whose dog it is) smearing their hall door/car handles with it!

    Maybe that will learn them.... ignorant arseholes!!

    If my corpse is pulled to the church by anything less than four elephants, your asses are getting haunted.

    TA that im having a bank holiday Friday half day from work pint in a beautiful peaceful riverfront bar, really mellow music playing, bubbling river and birdies singing. Aaah. Unfortunately there are three acTORs a couple of tables up, and every now and then one of them randomly sings a word or four in their conversation, really really loudly, like theyre on stage.

    They seem to think they're simply amazing. Nobody else does. I'm hoping they fall into the river.

    At least they'll blur your face. 🤣

    My TA is that I'm going to have to cut the grass.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,049 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    It doesn't always work, but a lot of the times clicking here will strip away lots of the crap.

    The usual suspects blaming single mothers for all of society's woes. Every one of those kids has a father too, you assholes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,713 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I took today off work, and cutting the grass was the one thing that I intended to do.

    But I convinced myself that I should trim the hedge first, so the lawnmower would collect the hedge trimmings.

    Then I remembered that I bought some sort of trimmer/pruner from Lidl a while ago which I hadn't opened, so this would be a perfect time to use it.

    After putting the various bits together, I tried it out on the hedge, but it's more of a chainsaw/pruner that a trimmer so it wasn't suitable.

    So I'm trivially annoyed that I still haven't cut the grass or trimmer the hedge, and am currently watching something I recorded on telly earlier in the week.

    The eternal procrastinator!! 😕😄

    Nosey relatives who you haven't seen in years asking about every aspect of your life 😡

    The very same relatives who would prefer to see you doing badly rather than doing well 🙄

    (…Luckily I'm doing v well 😜 )

    I see plenty of them in cow sheds in my travels, as parties seem to be ignoring their messages, you prob safe enough and if you get into trouble you can play the green card.

    When you buy something and soon afterwards see it on sale at a much reduced price.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,987 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    It’s a balancing act when it comes to music box sets.

    Pre-order at full price in case it sells out quickly. If that happens, you’re forced to deal with scalpers if you still want a copy.

    Or take a chance & wait for it to be half-price six months later.

    In the pub and every single pint I've had has been terrible. I even brought one back to the bar it was so bad. I have not done that in a very long time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,658 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Stupid weather alerts on my laptop, the sun is splitting the ground outside, a fantastic day and I'm getting a weather alert that there's rain on Monday, don't spoil my basking in the sunshine with this news. 😄

    That Butternutter dog food brand.

    For people with notions who refer to their dogs as 'fur babies' or the 'boss of the house'.

    Anyone who takes up space in their fridge for dog food needs their head examined.

    As if the dog knows it's of better quality. My dog could be given a heel of bread (handiest way to get rid of it) and be as proud as punch prancing around with it in her mouth before she eats it.

    And apropos to nothing, them fecking boxes weigh quare much for what they contain. TA having to deliver them.

    When you can see someone's big, greasy head-mark on the bus window 🤮

    Trivially annoying - craving a McDs coffee, so go to the drive-thru and the queue is backed up outside the gate and onto the main road. 😣

    Very annoying - queuing for 15+ mins to order, only to be told "sorry, the coffee machine is out of order". 😠😠

    Rage inducing - spending another 15+ minutes stuck in the queue because I can't get out of it. 🤬🤬🤬

    FFS McDs, (Belgard Road). If you know the coffee machine is out-of-order, why was there no notice put up at the entrance today, like you usually do?!?

    On a packed bus, with people standing, when someone got off the bus, the guy left in the seat gave his bag the window seat, and settled in to start making a phone call.

    I was happy to see one of the people standing immediately asked him to move the bag, so that they could sit. Shouldn't have even had to ask. 🙄

    Stuck behind a guy in traffic that I can see in his sideview mirror and for about 10 minutes he has being rooting at his nostril.

    Just because you're in a car doesn't mean you are invisible ya f***ing neanderthal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,521 ✭✭✭Ezeoul


    That's okay. But you know what was worse?

    As I was sitting in the practically non-moving queue, I saw one of the supervisors leave and get into his car, and he was holding a regular size McDs coffee cup.

    Now, it might have been water… but 🤨🤨🤨

    The coffee machine being "out of order" seems to be happening a lot recently, coincidentally its always when they're very busy.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,049 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Be glad it was only his nose... sitting on the top deck of the bus gives you visibility to loads of other stuff... under the belt stuff. Enough to make your breakfast repeat on you.

    When they have things packed really tight on supermarket shelves and there is no gap at the top. Worst thing is glass jars, you try to wiggle one free and the ones on either side want to come too!

    I see a family enjoying these drinks in stupid looking red and blue single use plastic containers with straws. We are truly fcuked as a species if we can't stop producing and buying this unnecessary shìt. They don't look like they hold all that much drink either.
