If you could stop everyone talking about....

Archeron

If you could stop everybody in Ireland talking about one thing, what would it be?

For me, easily its the "inevitable property crash" I am sick to what teeth I have left hearing self professed experts telling us why they know more than we do, and without a shadow of a doubt, the markets about to crash/expand/increase/implode. Every second newspaper article is about it and how it will be a soft/hard/cushioned/concrete landing.

Please just leave me alone with my little house in the country. (sadly not on the prairie)

If you had the power, what would you make everybody shut up about??

No, I have to comment on the weather while I'm thinkng of something better to say!

For me,hmm, that's hard, tv programs maybe.

for me it would be people bad mouthing immigrants, I mean come on! the biggest complaint people have is that the 'foreigners' are taking our jobs, they get all the menial jobs no Irish people want! and I would much prefer a completly certified Indian man diagnosing me and pulling my teeth than a semi-qualified Irish man. I had to listen to it at Christmas dinner last, oh what a joyous occation that was(!)

DonkeyStyle \o/

People talking about how shítty their lives are and all the things I wouldn't believe someone said to them today... go away tbh, my life is shít aswell but I don't bore you with the details.

faceman

I agree with property debates, sick of it. Especially any Irish independent newspaper article which spawns the threads. Its a rag people!

Ozzy

Ssia? Stfu!

Nalz

Big brother (cant stand it)
The English footballers wives aka wags (mostly the press there)

Sad Professor

i was going to say that, but i think, for me, footballers take precedent.

i don't give a flying fuck is wayne rooney might be going to play for acrington stanley or if david beckham has a new poodle perm to match his wife's new poodle dog. they're all a bunch of over paid (mostly wannabe) pretty boys whose only talent in life is putting a ball into a net for, at the most, 15 years of their lives.and that's only some of them. the rest just stand there looking pretty for the sky cameras.
i could do that for £50,000 a week.

Ah that's the best one celebrities, **** off talking about that ****e with me around thanks.

Gone West

I guess people that I talk to are interesting or something.
Because for the life of me, I cant think of anythign that lots of people talk about that annoys me...

curiosity

The SSIAs. Tis on the news, people ask bout it in idle conversation, car dealers and overseas property developers are rubbing their paws in glee. I'm gonna say the loanshark took it all.

simu

racist comments... plz stfu!

ST*

I'm going to go smaller scale, if the male members of boards.ie would stop blaming every Irish woman in the nation when their relationship goes t*ts up, it would make my day. Accept the fact that you make bad choices. To balance things out, women are no exception to this rule.

Oh what have I done.....

christ, if you go anywhere near bebo, you really have to hate anyone with proper spelling. grammar doesn't even come into the equation.

I'd really love to stop people talking about how much they earn, what fantastic job they have or how expensive they're anything was in respones to the question 'How are you?'

I asked about your health not your bank balance.

The Sweeper

I'd really like to stop hearing a bunch of sweeping generalists twitter on about how fat, stupid, manipulative, money-grabbing, gold-digging, self-centered, fake tanned, ugly, unfit, shallow, out of shape, devious, back stabbing, cheating, lying, moody, changeable, ignorant, unstylish, fickle and overweight all Irish women are.

No, so many contradictions, fat ugly chicks are the sound ones, does not compute. Generalisation matrix shutting down for repair.

I would end all the two faced talk that goes on. If you dont like someone fair enough, but dont talk s**t behind their back, and then act all friendly to their face.

stevenmu

I'd really like people to stfu about racism. The whole country is full of racist pigs, we get it already. Telling us all about it every day for the last 10 years hasn't made the slightest bit of difference, so just stfu !
