In Aldi buying apples for my office today.

Bag of 8 apples €1.50
4 Cadbury double deckers €1.25

I had to leave the apples and exit the shop ASAP. If I had to queue those bad boy double deckers would have been bought too.

Nothing tastes as good as being a smug fook..

Mint rant take 2: ex mods on bikes roaring at me in public to lift my arms if I want to go faster... IT WAS AN EASY PACED 8 MILER!! Totes hilars Ray!

Grown fecking men on the Dublin marathon Facebook page whinging because they won't get a medal for finishing a 5 mile or half marathon race?! Grown men?! I mean, what are you going to do with it, wear to to work and have everyone pat you on the back for finishing a race? Apparently people need to be rewarded for finishing a race now with a medal. Jesus.

Edit: cleaned up the swearing!

Oh it's that time of year again!! I think you should go on there and tell them to cop on

I like ray houghton. As a kid he was one of my favourite players. But my god he is annoying as a commentator. You'd swear he never missed a shot or misplayed a pass. Criticising the Croatian goal keeper for not saving that penalty is pretty typical of him!

Ironically, considering he scored two of the most significant goals in Ireland's history, Houghton was notorious for scuffing shots when really well placed in the penalty area.

Saw someone complaining about same about a bhaa 4M race here in Cork yesterday. ffs

There's a weird disconnect there. People run a race, or complete a certain distance, and the fact that they've done so doesn't in and of itself satisfy them. they need a token to validate it. A t-shirt doesn't seem grand enough. It must be a medal.

Going to local kids activity center last Sunday with 2 1/2 year old (parents are allowed in it also, she is too small to go down the slides on her own). Its huge. Tuesday little one is dying sick, following day I am coming down with something. There is no way that place is every cleaned as it would take a week to do it. So you all know where not to go prior to your next big race. Wear gloves next time.

Rant 2. Why is there never pacers under 3 hours ? other than for the elites.

Those places are giant petri dishes. Better off out in a field.

Usually someone brings their sick kid to the place and yours picked that up!!

I know how you feel, happened to me before New York last year!!

Ha ha. Rant: Married men who are under the thumb and spend their days complaining online about "the wife" and how they have to do what they're told and go to concerts they don't want to go to just cause "the little lady" needs to be kept happy
why do people get married and then complaint about not being able to do what they want to do?
This car trip could be fun afterall. I got 4 hours did I mention?

Haha, I concur. Thankfully my little lady knows her role and simply makes me pay for stupid concert tickets for her and her friend

Planning a wedding. Pain in the foooking hole.

Went to cumh a and e last night at 7. Wife got seen by a consultant at 2:20. Nothing serious but they told her to come in.Paying 3/4 k to go private gets u very little with the 3rd world health service. No doctors in the a and e for 5 hours. A woman in labour was left in the waiting room for an hour.

Then to cap it off 15 euro for parking.

Nothing serious (and we knew that going in) but I remember getting a much better level of care in the Dominican Republic. Guy in there from Austria with his other half and said you would never be waiting more than 30 mins there. My wife is 39 weeks pregnant and went in fine but her legs swelled up huge as she was sitting for 7+ hours in a waiting room.

I have been at weddings where I knew no one and I mean no one. Just me an a buddy. We only went in for a munch and sure no one is going to saw anything to you as even the bride and groom don't know everyone normally. While your day you have to have a few dances and conversations on how you know someone but don't really. Great fun. When they start to cop on off to the nightclub.
