    Seems to me, if your doing well in this country people hate you, they gossip and do their best to bring you down. Is everywhere like this or is this just an Irish thing?

    Does every forum feature repetitive, self-hating threads or is it just a boards thing?

    Really? :eek:

    (edit - aimed at OP, not the post above!)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Not sure what you're talking about man. This thread is about cartoon theme tunes.

    This is my favourite. How about you?

    You have got it wrong.

    The people who are doing well are quietly getting along with their lives.

    The ones who are crowing about how great they are are rightly being taken down a peg or two.

    The Irish are so self hating, we hate our self hating

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Too late now! It shall descend into a huge fight, someone will cry, others will chew on their keyboards. Me? I'll just sit here with one ball in and one ball out because it's feels weird.

    Yes we know.

    To make it worse the same people also dislike people who are unsuccessful?

    Any examples of this?

    I only hear this nonsense from the FF types who lined their pockets during the boom years.

    But hey, Its Sunday and I'm bored. So go on tell us. How well are you doing and how are others gossiping about you, hating you and conspiring to bring you down?

    Lets guess:

    1. Got a boyfriend and friends infuriatingly indifferent
    2. Got a new car and someone pointed out it's a cut-n-shut
    3. Tried to organise a 'Yay me' night out but no-one came
    4. Adopted a rescue donkey but no-one will sponser it's hay feed fund
    5. Got a new kitchen with fancy hydraulic drawers but no-one complimented it
    6. Got to finals of Mz Hairycankles pageant but friends laughed at achievement
    7. Lost 7 stone but mates just responded by ringfencing their husbands and subtly phasing you out
    8. Got cosmetic surgery but people keep mentioning vulcans instead of 'young and fresh'
    9. Child won Junior Miss Precocious Brat pagent but is no longer welcome at kids parties which all unfairly refuse to tolerate biting
    10. Perfected D4 accent but ungrateful ex friends cross the street
    :cool:
