    I hate these parents,more often than not snobby D4 types,who after their 3 year old has rammed their car door into yours the parent doesnt even give as much as an apologetic smile.They just dont give a fcuk.Its not the kids fault seeing they are only young but the parents could have a bit of cop on.
    I also hate telemarketers who call when you are in bed.Have had 3 this week.
    People who,even though they are generally sound,take out their phone constantly to let everyone see them using it.And then scroll down the numbers in order to let you see how many people they know.The types who put things like POLICE and HOSPITAL in their list just to make it longer.Really pisses me off.And the problem has gotten chronic what with picture phones.
    Politicians like Blair and Bertie who,no matter how many times they lie,have some fall guy waiting to take the flak when it looks as if they might finally be exposed.
    When a tv show is postponed because of tennis or snooker or something overunning.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    eew....slug juice

    i hate people asking for money...i always end up giving it to whoever i feel most intimidated by, so i don't have any change by the time someone who looks like they might actually need it comes along

    ie: when they hit your pockets to indicate thats where your money is...or when theres a few of them....or they won't go away..

    seeing as there are new ppl joining boards all the time, maybe an old post is one they haven't seen, so I don't see any harm in bringing it up again.

    things I hate.....

    my paltry pay packet,
    the way one side of my hair sticks out and the other side is dead straight,
    they're just today's woes..

    I hate Irish public transport, namely Irish Rail. I don't think they know the meaning of the word 'competent'.

    I HATE!!!!!!

    people who go on about the government when they decide to spend money upgrading our paltry meagre defence forces equipment, and then sit back while they order a shiny new f*ck off jet for themselves while cancelling our 5 badly needed new Search and Rescue helicopters, and cancelling plans for new trainer jet aircraft for the aircorps.

    we have only 10,000 service men and women, we spend less than 0.2% GDP on defence and we should have an effective SAR capability which is sovereignly owned by the people of ireland not rented out like those 3 big red and white rescue choppers we are borrowing at the mo.

    We should be able to defend our nation without depending on other countries to step in, we have no aircraft capable of intercepting anything faster than a seagul!!

    we have no air defence missile or radar system capable of targetting and hitting anything above 10,000 feet,

    we have not enough ships to defend the largest area of sea in europe owned by a single country

    we have 8 naval vessels and no more.

    we need more surveilance aircraft to catch illegal fishing and drugs smuggling,

    we need more armoured vehicles and transport aircraft to fly people and equipment out to trouble spots in the world to support us when we are peacekeeping, as is we have to rent equipement from the UN armories of other countries.

    I hate all of this and more, but im afraid most people here wont agree with me.

    :rolleyes:

    i hate Bertie and his ministers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,031 ✭✭✭Silvera


    Morpheus,
    I agree with you 100% !!!

    It's a disgrace that the government are going to spend c.€70 MILLION on two new jets which are NOT required !

    The current jet has a service life of at least anothe 10 years.
    This jet, along with another jet (leased for six months), would be adequate for our EU Presidency term next year.

    But, Oh no, Bertie wants 2 new jets to "swan around in" :mad:

    And yet the contract for the 5 new Search and Rescue helicopters was cancelled last year due to "lack of funds" :confused:

    I hate the way Bertie and his cronies are squandering our money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I love France, I studied there for 4 years, the frenchies are great..
    But I hate frenchies when they drive a car...it's f****dangerous to drive in Paris....
    What I also hate are false people, who play a different role with every person they meet. Liars. Be yourself and not a parody of yourself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Isn't Ireland neutral? Why spend money on defence when we can leech off other countries...... surely it would be a better idea to soend the money on roads, rail etc...... instead of on jets, tanks, big METAL FÚCKING DICKS in the middle of dublin etc.....

    eh, no.
    i live in the arse end of nowhere, no neighbors, hedges & trees all around & a massive garden...

    i just take a whizz in the garden to avoid making noise going up the stairs to the toilet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,031 ✭✭✭Silvera


    Lump,
    Yes, Ireland is neutral but so is Switzerland, Sweden and Finland and yet they have properly equipped defence forces.
    The Swedes even have Stealth Warships - something even the Yanks don't have !

    Now I'm not suggesting that Ireland should be spending enormous amounts of money on military hardware, but we should at least have a minimum level of defence equipment.

    If we are a "mature" nation then surely we should be standing up for ourselves and not be "leeching" off other countries.

    We don't even have a squadron of jets to patrol our airspace at present !!!

    About 8 jets would be adequate - cost c.€70 million i.e the amount Bertie wants to spend on his new "Bertie Air Corps One" VIP jets :mad:

    And yet Air Corps pilots are flying about every day in 40 year old helicopters !

    I'm talking about a small (c.45 aircraft), well equipped Air Corps with modern aircraft.
    (They currently have 35 aircraft of which 32 need replacement within the next few years).

    It's all abou proper management.
    The money for hospitals, roads, schools etc. AND defence would be there if the taxpayers money was properly managed.

    Silvera.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Well, I'm not disagreeing that Ireland need to get the finger out..... look at the bloody port tunnel for crying out loud. Made a nice balls up of that didnt they. I do agree that Ireland needs to spend money on rescue helicopters etc, I dont think it is a major concern to spend money on fighter jets and all that. Get the country sorted first roads hospitals and all the rest.

    It has to be said though that it was the irish people that voted the government in. We have no-one to blame but the majority of the people. Its not like this is the first term of the government. And I'm sure it could be dissolved if people really wanted it to happen.

    What I hate the most is dozy people who walk too slowly in towns. Some of us have work to go to. Also, boring music by boys with guitars i.e. Travis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,031 ✭✭✭Silvera


    Lump,

    Agree on Rescue helis being the priority for the Air Corps.


    I think it was more a case of -

    "The Opposition lost the election" rather than
    "The Government won". :(

    There's only one thing I hate about summer - flies. Dirty bast*rds. Hate them. They land on dogsh!t/other such nasty stuff and later find their way into the house and land on everything. And the noise they make too. And it's just flies - wasps and bees I have no problem with 'cos they only land on jam and flowers and they won't sting unless you rile them.

    Charlie McCreevy. The word incompetent just isn't strong enough. For example, Drop the VAT rate by a percent - OMG Charlie, what a genuinely good idea. But then the man copped that most shops didn't reduce their prices by anything, let alone 1%. So what did he do? He restored the VAT to its original rate, the net effect being that prices actually went up by another percent as shops that never reduced their prices then upped them. :mad:

    Those gypsies with the baby that come up to you in town and say something (I've not figured it out, nor do I intend putting the effort into trying). If you're gonna come to a country to beg, at least have the courtesy to learn words like please and a few others.

    Those appeal ads with the old woman and her dodgy, shaky voice. "Plehease help thehese peheople" bla bla. Trying to make people feel guilty. tsk :rolleyes:

    Those "can I take 20 seconds of your time" and "I'm selling lottery tickets for bla" people. Where do I collect the prize if I win? "I'll be here next week". Yah riiiiiight!

    It is what it's.

    I don't use Iarnród Éireann much, when I do it’s mostly Intercity Rail and beside the track improvements I’ve never had much problems with them.

    Any how I do use Bus Éireann quite a bit and have no complaints but the condition of the odd bus and the fact they run two much so on time making me miss the bus :)
