    Beer, always made me feel ill, that's why I'm still drinkling cider at 23.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    nothing wrong with cider except bulmers, always gives me terrible hangovers even if i have like 1 or 2.

    i don't get footballers who wear gloves to keep their hands warm yet play in a short sleeve jersey.

    i don't get why people crowd the doors of busses/trains knowing that they'll just have to move to let the people on the train out first.

    the blasted offside rule in soccer, i swear to god, i have tried to hard to get it, but fail miserably everytime, somebody explained it to me in terms of shoes in a shoe shop and there was somebody trying to get them... i kind of got it then, but then forgot again.

    The end of Trading Places.

    I know the point was to bankrupt Duke and Duke and that Ackroyd and Murphy do this with aid of winter forecast. But do they buy stocks on behalf of Duke and Duke and then sell them?

    Just cant get my head round the ins and outs.

    I was trying to do it earlier. It looks perfectly simple in the examples and then you try and do it to your own tables and it's a massive load of Wrong and Fail. I can't get past stupid second normal form. Argh.

    edit: and don't start me on SQL.

    Just cant get my head round the ins and outs.
    IIRC cos I haven't seen it in about ten years the Dukes have bought loads of futures, ie betting on the future price of oranges, and Ackroyd and Murphy drive down its price by screaming sell causing the market to crash and the Dukes then sell before they lose anymore than they already have. Ackroyd and Murphy then buy loads of stock when the price hits rock bottom knowing the price will go up. The difference between the price they paid at rock bottom and the price they sell for at the end is their millions. The Dukes on the other hand have to pay the difference between what they bought and later sold the futures for when they were at rock bottom. Hence they lose everything.

    I don't get vegetarians. Meat tastes so damn good. I'd happily eat nothing but meat. From burgers to mackerel, steak, lamb prawns. Tasty.

    Think I will have a bacon sandwich and then go to bed.

    I can't get why tradesmen seem to find it next to impossible to put their skills to use when they get home.

    Like Mechanics driving scrap heaps of cars, etc.

    From a Sparks point of view, there's a couple of lightswitches in my house from before I moved in.
    They do my head in, they switch the wrong way and one is screwed to the back box using them black screws they use for plasterbord.

    It does my head in buy as much as I mean to I never, ever seem to get round to tackling this 5 minute job.

    Is it just me or do any other Tradesmen have this problem?


    So, that's all I don't understand, except for 'Lost' of course...


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    I don't get most music made after 1978. I dont get electronic music at all, and dance music is largely crap, annoying, tinny repetitive drool farted out the back of a DJ's coke ridden cockhole. I dont get night clubs either. **** them all.
    I dont get why anyone in their right mind would be a ****ing vegan. It has to be the most idiotic thing anyone can do with their bodies. Have you ever seen a healthy looking vegan? I know I haven't.
    I dont get why Jim Jarmusch, Gus Van Sandt or Michael Bay are allowed make movies.
    I dont know why somebody didn't cut off Francis Ford Coppola's hands and burn out his eyes when he decided to come back to movie making.
    I don't get why Robin Williams, Kevin Costner, Sharon Stone, The Wayans brothers, anyone in Sex and the City, Carmen Electra, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and all those ****ing useless child actors are allowed to act in movies.
    I didn't like Little Miss Sunshine either.
    And what in the hell happened to the butter you used to get with popcorn at the cinema? Why cant we have that anymore? Shower of bastards.
    Also, I dont get Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Burn notice, CSI, NCIS, Law and Order, Celebrity fit fat club and all that other utv tat everyone goes on and on and ****ing on about endlessly in work.

    I dont get Facebook, myspace, bebo or any of those either. If I want to talk to my friends I call them. Why would I want to anonymously post my vitriolic views to thousands of strangers on the internet. Are they mad? Are they absolutely ****ing MAD?

    But the one that I am still smarting about, just genuinely, totally do not ****ing understand in any way, why did those ****ing morons re-elect that ****ing moron?

    +1

    I hate them.
    It's always seemed to me that when I'm in them I'm the only one that sees through the scam.
    The Emperor has no clothes type of thing.

    Crap drink at brutal prices (not to mention entrance fee, cloakroom charge etc.).
    The 1 hour wait for a Taxi afterwards.
    Having every idiot you've ever had the misfortune of bridfly encountering at some point in the past, come up and start some half hour conversation about Brighton F.C?
    The fact that I can't hear my own voice let alone anyone elses inside the damn places.

    And last but not least, the fact that by going to a Niteclub you're putting yourself into a postion whereby a Bouncer gets to look you up and down and make a judgement on whether they like the look of you or not.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    I just cant believe coke ridden cockhole wasn't picked up on by the boards censors. Thats one for feedback.
    And thanks for the support on my anti-night club stance. I hate bouncers too! And I dont like getting in fights at chip shops either.
    And those people who dress up in raver clothes, flashing glowing wands around all over the place until the pills wear off. Idiots the lot of them. Not in my universe.

    I re-read your main post.
    I don't agree with a couple of things but most of it is as if you've been reading my mind.

    Particluarly Madonna. Her scam is on a par with the Niteclub scam.
    First of I'll say this, I'm not a fan but I don't have a problem with her music.
    My main problem is the way she was touted as such a sex symbol for years.
    She's rancid baby...
    Honestly I rather take Ann Widdecombe home (well maybe not but).

    As I said, no problem with Madonnd, here music, adoptions, religions, etc.
    Just the fact that she's pushed onto us as a sex symbol.
    The music industry likes doing this, it's like if they keep telling us someone is beautiful / sexy / etc that we'll eventually accept.

    Another example is Britney Spears, I'm sure alot will disagree with me about this but personally I never though she was fit.
