Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Ryanair having 1/2 page color adds in the middle of each page that there is a boarding pass on. Have not traveled with those muppets in about 10 years and the is another reason why. That and I can't "check in" for the return leg until I go on holidays but if I want to pay for seats then that grand I can check in now.

    People (not any of the novices) who won't listen to your advice and only ever run marathon pace in long run training and ran the first half of the marathon on target pace and are now running 2 mins per mile slower than they started but yet, they know it all:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: It won't be a pretty finish.............

    feeling a bit low since Monday, definitely did the wrong thing yesterday i.e. lounging around all day by myself.
    Best get back to running today, feels like I've done nothing for ages...

    god, I hope that's a joke. Didn't feel too bad after, but running is off the agenda for a while.

    Rant: meteor suck at customer care. I get hammered in a bill and then they want to penalise me for changing my plan to one that costs a little more and means I stay with them? Silly way to do business, I plan on moving.

    Internet bullying.

    edit

    at least someone had the good grace to delete some of the comments/ insults. I don't stand for this kind of **** be warned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,620 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Scummy "pranks." The ones you see that are labeled as pranks and funny. People entering a lift, and then the lights go out and come back on with a weird scary and freaky looking child/adult standing beside them. It then might scream at them. It's not a prank, and it's not fooking funny. It's quite dangerous, and nasty. If it was me I'd rip the head of the person!:)

    Oh the irony :)
    I post the above about bullying going on a new forum. Moderator/ admin says I'm not being bullied but proceeds to edit all posts to rid them of said bullying.
    Actually I should be on the rave thread it's so funny lol.
    So it's Day 2. Wonder how many it'll last before someone has to call a solicitor lol..

    Sister forum? what/where's that then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,118 ✭✭✭Peterx


    I don't like the lists of times table in the marathon thread. I wanna read the stories, not look at endless lists.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Days when everything in the canteen in work is an absolute depth charge. Options today were fried chicken and chips, some sort of cheesy polenta dish and a lasagne which looked like it had more cheese than anything else...

    Remember that for next year and create them a Google doc to mess about with numbers in, like with the 1000 mile thread.

    Probably get a ban for linking to it :pac:

    In all seriousness though I wish all the fighting would stop. That's not a dig at anyone in particular here or anyone there. Too much sniping going on. Just want to see all the drama over and done with.

    Completely agree pm but when prople post stuff about me on a public forum which is unjust and unfair I'll fight back to the bitter end.
    All i want to do is to train hard and discuss running. And that's all I ever wanted to do since I joined 2 years ago

    Just a disappointing situation all round really, but at the end of the day people join and leave forums all the time and we just move on and different people take a bigger role and the same thing will happen here in due course.

    usually people drift away, this time there were more public "**** yis, I'm off":) declarations, but people stop posting on forums all the time. When I started posting here people like hunnymonster, --amadeus-- and thirtyfoot/tingle were all over the place, letyourselfgo posted a lot more when he was woddle, and there are plenty of others that have gone from frequent to occasional posters.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    The rash of people leaving this time is nothing to do with naturally drifting away but a lot to do with the recent, and at times ongoing, nonsense and crap.

    Not really a rant as i'm not a big soccer fan or anti Liverpool but came across the Liverpool Store in the Ilac centre this evening. Never knew such a thing existed but some of tackiest clothing items you could ever imagine are kept there.

    My eyes still burn from the purple kiddies range

    If people spent more time discussing athletics rather than threads like that it might improve the overall quality.

    Rant#1 Moderators trying to dictate what we rant about :D:D (@you pconn there, but in a nice way :) )
    Rant #2 Rants being nit picked by fookers with little else for doing...(over the last couple of weeks)

    RANT Leave the rant thread alone... (to an extent).... To many haters...
    It's a good way of blowing off steam, leave all the politically correctness at the door... If you are easily offended, fook off .....




    (I'll probably get a ban, but fook it, I mean it)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,704 ✭✭✭✭RayCun


    It is not a "say whatever you like thread". There is no such place. Any post on the forum has to be within the rules of the forum. Maybe the thread should close if people don't understand that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,062 ✭✭✭davedanon


    Aw, boo. And I was just gonna post an angry tirade at blacks, jews, women, gays and anyone else I can think of that doesn't look/act/think like me. Are you saying I can't do this? Right, I'm off to 8Chan....

    I ain't telling anyone what they can or can't post about. Rant away, just would be nice to see more athletics chat from the regular posters rather than just threads like this. But I'm old fashioned like that. ;) anyway, back to work.

    Actually someone I knew really well once asked if I thought she was fat (She was). I thought carefully as I knew she really wanted to know what I thought. "Yes", I said finally. POW, smack across the chops. HARD. "I'm ****ing overweight, not FAT", she hissed.

    True story.
