Things you just don't get.

Why following the 3200 Nokia decided to get rid of the torch they had. Ya held down the star button and got a torch, the single greatest thing to have happened phones everywhere and it was never to be seen again.

Post of the day.

In fact, that chick who won the Olympic medal, please forfeit and give to this guy

Ledge! And soooooooooooo-oooooooo-ooo true!

Maybe it's the relentless badgering/pressuring even after you say no? Which leads me on to what I don't get: men and sex. Men will ask you and literally pressurize you into having sex, but if you do give in you're wrong? i.e no respect for a 1 night stand. Agghh! And they say women are complicated. Men never say what they mean.

A.D.D and A.D.H.D ...... i mean throw the kids out in back yard to play and stop them sitting in the house 24/7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just another "poor" jonny or julie story for momma and daddy to cry about

Swear to god i think its the parents which are the problem, i remember running the fields during the summer to 9-10 oclock even sometimes later at nights with all my mates and had to be dragged into the house and now you drive around on nice summer nights and 90% of time no kids anywhere................................

Now there might be some reasons why not, but i bet most kids are in the house on the TV,Xbox,internet etc etc

Why do deli assistants wear those blue disposable gloves to make your sandwich , then proceed to take your money and then use the same gloves to make the next sambo..

team name's chances are all 'but' over of another trophy after they were beaten 10-nil last night in the champion's league...


what the fook do you mean all BUT over? I would say they are in fact just over.

Am I missing something? What is this term in sports reporting on Irish radio supposed to mean exactly?

Um, my Nokia E63 does it when you hold down the spacebar.

Thanks wars...

When one person posts a point, possibly dripping with holier-than-thou-ness, and everyone who agrees with him thanks the post. Fair enough.

Then someone who disagrees with this point posts a retort, and they get a load of thanks from people who agree with them.This can go on and on, and the people with keep trying to make some kind of funny joke to get more thanks.


Eejits one and all...

The word (or non-word) lol. Also, rofl, lmao and things along these lines. I'm pretty sure you are NOT in fact Rolling On the Floor Laughing or you wouldn't be typing now, would you? These are most annoying in sentences like "Be there in a minute lol", "Okay lol", etc, etc. I SAID NOTHING FUNNY!! SHUT UP!!

People who 'connect' with animals. I'd never hurt one or anything, because they can still feel pain. But I don't get why people keep them as pets.

Why people buy Apple products. I kinda get it because they look nice, but even then I don't think that justifies the price premium.

They only say it during a match eg
Team "A" are hammering team "B" 17 nil after 20minutes. Now there's no way team "b" will score 18 so that's when commentators say all but over.

all those horrible hedges along irish roads that are keeping me from seeing the beautiful countryside :mad:. Seriously whats with that? Its so annoying, unless you are in a bus.

Presumably because you don't read the sort of novels that actually have deeper meanings though.

The collective will of the rest of the nation. It's what's been keeping us from winning for the last 15 years.

Some new phone that's coming out can bring up a person's details (assuming they are programmed in) by the owner just passing them by on the street. Yah right, more like they'll have to stop them, ask them to look into the camera and then maybe, just maybe it'll know who they are.

What's the fooken point!?

Cause they played horrible dirty football. Play the ball not the man. Don't give fouls away in your own 45.

Simple stuff really. Discipline prevailed.

No they do not.

2fm do it all the time after a match, in the morning and it doesn't make sense.

I don't get it why the CAO site was down, they were obviously just overloaded!
Excess laziness among the Irish really makes me wonder sometimes.

Yes they do. In your example above, they declare their true intentions repeatedly.

Takes me onto my next "thing ill never get". Women's misuse of the phrase never. I have never heard a woman use that phrase and mean it.

When a man says never, he bloody well means it
