    Having a look on here and people are complaining about the Gardaí, RTÉ, Teachers and Politicians. All of which provide a fantastic service to the people of Ireland.

    I'd love to see how far any of us would get without these people.

    The Irish are such a nation of begrudgers, it's not on at all.

    So basically, you're on boards complaining about Irish people.... Are you familiar with irony?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    Are you complaining about that?

    No......it was clearly a question....hence the question mark.

    There's also a question in the thread title, no?

    Are people for real though, surely nobody with half a brain has an actual problem with the Gardaí, Teachers, RTÉ or politicians?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    There's also a question in the thread title, no?

    Yes there is. I was replying to your narrative not your thread title.

    So, why don't you answer my question, with an answer and not another question.

    Who do you think you are, the Riddler?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭jugger0


    Politicians? no way man, shower of scoundrels and thieves.. and they should have a massive salary cut, they shouldn't be getting more then a garda. I think the past leaders of FF should be executed for treason against the Irish state.

    I do not think I'm the riddler. Are you happy now? I've answered your question

    Ok, you have to be trolling. Gardaí and teachers, I can see your point. Gardaí have some qualifiers, and RTE have a lot of qualifiers. No one with a brain has a problem with politicians? Ha, lulzy. Yes, as a troll you got a response, congrats, but this is as much as you'll get, unless you up your troll game and come up with something more entertaining than.... this.

    Considering that the vast majority of them could be making more in the private sector, that's a load of nonsense.

    You want us to just shut the **** up and smile nicely and let everyone get on with screwing us over? Are you Enda Kenny?

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

    How is Enda Kenny screwing you? He's dealing with the mess that was left before him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭pedanticpat


    No, answer my original question.


    What was it? Am I complaining? Not really, no, I'm just a bit curious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    And what's with those tiny packets of peanuts on airplanes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Complaining is just pointing out where a problem exists. Anybody can do that but the best of us can point out where a problem exists and propose a workable solution to that problem.

    That's better, thank you, now I can take you seriously.

    People love complaining, it doesn't matter who it is directed at but people will always complain about someone or something.

    I've no problem with an ould rant, but the subject of people's ire in here is baffling. Why aren't they complaining about scumbags or the price of petrol. The Gardaí are doing a great job, and are grossly understaffed and overworked.

    C'mon now, people complain about other stuff too. Y'see if you complain about petrol in AH, the thread gets sent to the Motors Forum. If you complain about Scumbags the thread should get sent to the Prison Forum.

    So though I'm a working man
    I can ruin the government's plan
    And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card
    Makes me some kind of superman

    Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
    You don't get me, I'm part of the union
    You don't get me, I'm part of the union
    Until the day I die



    Begrudger, Begrudger...:pac:

    complaining =/= begrudgery.

    the R&R forum is not full of begrudgers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    Scumbags and the price of petrol. Sounds like our politicians alright.
