    That Lidl advert for women's GAA, about how we all need to fill the stadiums for them cos we do it for the men.

    First off, many many mens games are far from full houses.

    Secondly, I get the feeling that the advert is hinting that us men need to come out and watch the women play? Is that on us? You can't guilt people into going to a sport if they don't want to. If the product was fantastic entertainment, the crowds will come. Of course some men simply will never watch a women's game, same way my OH never watches a soccer game.

    It's on the women of Ireland, get out there and start buying the tickets. According to the ads, it's in your blood!

    When you buy something in a shop 10 euro, you pay, they hand you the change, you say thanks, see ya, and they don't say anything back. would it kill them to say goodbye? I think its bad manners and bad business. I think its a sign of someone who hates their job and maybe even dealing with the public.

    Aspersions might be cast as to a single gentleman going to watch a game that they are perhaps ahem not there to admire the sporting talent either!

    My TA is the ad to encourage girls to participate in GAA, that appears to send the girl home by way of a zombie graveyard in the dark. Well of course, that's going to deter participation.

    Back when you got an extra 'n' in your banana. 😉 Aldi do Jiggly Pops if you're feeling nostalgic, except the two different icecreams are horizontal rather than vertical.

    What I find annoying on the Sporting Life website is that they have taken the 3rd placed out of each group and put them to the top. Fair enough, it's nice to see who's in the running to be the 3 place qualifiers but they could still leave them in the groups too.

    It's particularly unhelpful when you see Group E with all teams on 3 points. I know you could work out that it's Slovakia (with a goal difference between 1 and -2, on only two games played) but you can't see that at a glance.

    At the end of a consultation with a healthcare practitioner, I mentioned that my ears were itchy and flakey.

    Without even looking they say, "Once you eat clean and go sugar-free that will clear".

    Accidentally put CS Jell in my ears and the symptoms have cleared for over a week now, ta hcp's blaming symptoms on things they don't like. 2. then wonder when clients don't follow their advice having been told this or that is the cause of everything they are asked about and it's proved it's not.

    Seeing young lads pretend fight their friends, I see this all the time, you aren't a ufc fighter ya little twat, it's usually done to the weakest in the group as well, bullying more or less.

    D1ck heads walking past my window at 3am this morning, having a "hilarious" conversation at the top of their voices. It's summer time, people have their bedroom windows open because of the heat, shut the fk up.



  • Registered Users Posts: 30,076 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I see you and raise you seagulls squawking every night at 3am, freaking out at the sight of a cat or fox that can't possibly reach their nest. And yet I'm not allowed shoot them!

    People should know better.

    Its not difficult to find alternate words to fit the TFI acronym, you've used one already ;-)

    Motor insurance companies having a website generated rate and a more expensive rate not within an asses roar of the website rate when you actually ring them.

    Gazumping insurance based on change of occupation boils my piss too, based on stupid stereotypical assumptions of risk of a job they know nothing about.

    People who wave their arms and hands around too emphatically when talking. Was in a meeting today and one of the people in it looked like he was wrestling an invisible bear.

    10000%

    I’m sharing this TA….It’s seemingly only a recent phenomenon too… as in the last 2/3 years….these little prîcks basically roaring at each other into all hours, can’t seem to have a conversation anymore…..

    They need to be trained as follows….You know the silence that surrounds you, and the little thing on your wrist that unambiguously shows you what time of the night / morning it is…. Put those things together and say… “ I’m going to be quiet, it’s appropriate to be quiet and I can still communicate and enjoy the company of my friends but at appropriate levels without shrieking, without roaring,”. But, nope…. 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♂️

    this is bordering on not a TA, but a VTA….

    here is a photo from Coca Cola of their environmentally friendly attached cap. Everyone who has ever bought these drinks, knows that instead of the cap folding away conveniently as they depict above so you may drink easily and unobstructed, they instead rebound back into the path of the drink, the bottle opening and your mouth……🥱

    Do you know when you're sitting with a bunch of other people around a table that's too small for the party it accommodates, or when you're sitting opposite someone in public transport (without a table), or even when you're standing in a queue, and you're lost in your thoughts? And then your eyes start to point down and to the right (or sometimes to the left) but you're not actually seeing anything except for your thoughts? And then you come back to the present time and place and you realise you've been staring at someone's arse (queueing) or crotch (sitting)? Good luck trying to explain why you were doing that without looking or sounding like a pervert!

    From Dr. Strangelove:

    I think you're some kind of deviated prevert, and I think General Ripper found out about your preversion and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts.

    😄

    Anyway, my major annoyance, after missing last weekend's Gig of the Year (Rammstein), I now have to miss another gig this Sunday (AIR in Trinity). My doctor (not Dr. Strangelove) has gently suggested to me to go to hospital to sort out the cellulitis in my leg. It has nearly healed, but is taking its time.

    Going to a gig where there's lots of travelling and walking wouldn't be ideal so I'm not going, but going to hospital for something that has nearly gone is overkill, especially since the hospital isn't even allowing visitors due to an outbreak of Covid.

    A tickly dry cough I've got that I blame on the rowing machine. Flipping air blasted straight at my face my lungs actually feel dry.

    TA this morning. Have to travel for work at short notice. As work was covering costs decided to treat myself to an extra legroom seat on plane. Actually selected a normal seat in next row. D'oh!
