    I hate that every thread with the word dublin in any post ends up being attacked by culchies, and vice versa.
    I hate the ladies lounge for reasons I won't go into.
    I hate that boards is addictive like crack.
    And finally, I hate that whenever a thread gets locked in AH it means bollocko* gets the last word in.

    Go raibh maith agaibh as eisteacht liom, agus oíche mhaith agaibh go léir.

    *Dr.Bollocko is my favourite mod though. Unless Uncle Terry is reading.

    Pighead hates the way he can't see his enemies crumble or hear their tears hit the ground every time he engages in word to word combat with them.

    I hate that some idiots take jokes too far, in certain threads.

    It's fine to have a black sense of humour, but I fail to see how rape is in any way funny or something to joke about.

    No offence genericguy but the "list" as you call it is pretty shoddy. You hate girls, stuff thats addictive and also the fact that you don't get the last word in. You sound like Kevin from Kevin and Perry. Pighead bets you were stamping your feet whilst shouting "It's so unfair" whilst compiling your list.

    Why don't t you like girls?

    Speaking of boobs, Pighead hates the way some chicks on boards go on as if their boobs are some sort of magical device that will rid the world of war and cure all known diseases. Sample quote "He he, I've got a pair of boobies"

    well in that case, pighead might say I'm not hating on many things, and thus that boards is great. ALthough if we look back, I never said that I hated girls, ever. in fact genericgal is my hero. never said i hated addictive things, just said i hate that boards is addictive. never said i ever wanted the last word either, i think matt cooper does a fine job as it is.

    And nope, i was reclined in a beautiful chair, watching mulholland drive, having treated myself to an early retreat from work whilst compiling my list.

    That ok porky?

    I hate threads " I was wondering down O'Connell St to Henry St looking for a certain shop"
    "Hey there, I know Limerick and can help you"
    " No you bogger, I was in town" Town being Dublin obviously on boards....
    "Well, excuse me :("

    As for people in Co. Wicklow looking for help to get to "town", I'm going to assume Wicklow town unless you say otherwise.

    To be honest, I'd say it's more men on Boards who consider boobs to be magical devices, than women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    The Thanks system. Leads to smartarsey and annoyingness that would just be considered weird on other boards. I am guilty of it myself.

    The "Yore Ma" thing. Can only assume it was funny for a brief period sometime before I got here, or something.

    They have to behave that way, or there would be gender confusion all over the shop. Us hearty males have to engage in similar behaviour, by boasting about our mighty testicles, or else we too shall be mistaken for the opposite sex.

    I hate the amount of 'scumbag' threads

    God forbid any of them foreigners are reading, because they'd be terrified at the thoughts of visiting the country

    which is probably a plus for the people making the scumbag threads :rolleyes:

    It certainly is not ok. Mulholland Drive is a load of old pretentious balderdash! People keep saying to Pighead "But you don't understand it Pighead. You just don't get the magnificence of Lynch. You need to watch the masturbation scene again to truly understand what the film represents" Load of twaddle, Pighead watched that scene seven times and he has still no idea why a good looking girl like Diane failed so miserably in life. It makes no sense, masturbation or no masturbation.

    pighead is always ready, isn't he? pighead, believe it or not, is one of the things i abso-fcukin-lutely love about boards.

    dont hate anything bout boards its f'in great..but hate when people write teh instead of the...
    really f*ckin hate it in a long serious post when its done about twenty times.

    And boyracer threads. Done to death already


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    How you say "I'll just check boards for five minutes to see if there's anything interesting" and then an hour later you're still going from forum to forum even though there's been nothing interesting in all that time and you haven't even posted.

    "town" is not just slang for dublin city centre on boards, or just amongst people in dublin. I have heard it used as slang for dublin city centre from plenty of
    non-dubliners.

    I hate the feigned ignorance about the term, when it is blatantly obvious what they mean.

    "which town do you mean?"
    "what town are you talking about?"

    -Old Durham Town, what the F**K do you think they mean you gobsh!te, stop wasting your and their time.

    I hate that Boards is controlled by blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the star system Alpha Draconis called "mods", who are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at humanity. They maintain their control through the generation of fear and negative emotion, which is food to these entities, by manufacturing conflicts, primarily wars. :(

    And that whenever I bring it up people look at me like I'm the crazy one :mad:

    People saying fail, or using lolcats.

    People butting into feedback threads to pontificate about forums they don't frequent.

    People using the phrase coke and hookers.

    Any discussion about being a moderator or mod duties in an arch, shop-talk way. Especially with other mods on-thread.

    People saying Teh instead of The.

    People with computer specs in their signatures.

    RIP-merchants.

    People who say I for one.......overlords.

    People who even think about saying I for one.....overlords.

    People who say I for one....overlords in a fashion to ironically comment on those who say I for one....overlords.

    Hoary old boards 'characters' that only have to fart on-thread to induce a blizzard of thanks and +1s.

    Culchies moaning about Dublin-centric threads.

    Are you sure?

    It's obviously not because of his work on the Brotherhood, the Illuminati, the Global Elite, his belief that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are real,
    the extraterrestrial Prison Warders, the Luciferic Consciousness or the reptiles with the hybrid reptilian-human DNA that allows them to change from reptilian to human form if they consume human blood...those are all reasonable things that any reasonable person can see are true.

    So what is it??

    Does he put his socks on AFTER his pants, or something equally heinous?

    You do realise that is just a typo right? one of the most common, I actually did it writing this! but have firefox highlights it. Or did you think people do it on purpose? Because it sounds like you do.

    EDIT: I see it is some sort of slang, I expect/hope 95%+ of people spelling it like that are typos though...

    I'm guessing that it evolved as a typo, but it's definitely used intentionally sometimes, although usage seems to be fading away these days.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 421 ✭✭procure11


    I wont really classify this as hate but more like frustration...

    The fact that I cant see who I am discussing or arguing with...
    so essentially ...

    >some gorrila looking fella could start a post on AH about how he/she hates ugly people.

    > How easy it is for a midget sized dikc eejit to go on the personal issues forum and ask for advise on how large his phallus is and apparently cannot fit into his missus.

    >And most confusing of all...how people really do stay awake all night ...( night after night ) posting away...shocking.

    But I suppose these and other ridiculous things makes it the most popular site in Ireland.

    I'm sorry, but even with the best intentions, I don't find jokes like that funny.
    I don't find a person being violated and attacked amusing. Perhaps some people do, that's their business. Personally, I think it's disgusting and offensive. That's just me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,494 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    -Religous threads, epecially on after hours where all the atheists seem to convulge, because then I feel like it's just going to turn into an ongoing war between Atheists and Religous foke.

    -Not being allowed to use bad language on here. I think this rule should be eased up a little where you can use bad lanauage but not a lot of it, like if you say one or two bad words in a comment it shouldn't be held against you but if you're constantly using them then the rule should be applied.

    -When serious threads are made and people decide to take the p!ss- Like one of the other posters said i think it's ok to have a dark sense of humour, but not with things like suicide and rape like some people do.
