    Politicians with nicknames.

    Luke Ming Flanagan was funny the first time I heard it. But does he really need to be referred to by that name every time he's referenced on the news.

    Just saw a poster for Pat the cope Gallagher. The cope. Really?

    bar or cafe staff who have the "Im too good for this job" f*cking attitude from the moment you walk in. Its not my fault your a **** actor or a failing wannabe super model. sometimes I think Im gonna be a real cnut and click my fingers but I resist...

    I was wondering is his middle name actually Ming, otherwise its from before he was elected so it stuck

    Pat "The Cope" Gallagher is robbed from his father who set up the Co-Ops in Donegal.

    Business end??? Cutlery handles should be place in the cutlery holder.
    We're talking about the same thing, just using different terminology. For example the "business end" of a knife is the sharp bit, so when that's up, the handle is down in the holder. I know that's what the manual says, but I'm not interested in just doing what I'm told. I like to know why it's better that way, so I can explain it better.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    People, who put the small sharp chopping knives into the dishwasher blades sticking up really annoy me, three times was I very close to slicing my hand. And people, who throw sharp knives into the sink filled with soapy water. Wonderful, what am I suppose to do now? Get goggles, dive in and search!? Well thanks for nothing you idiot! :mad:

    Posters on boards who just won't accept something as fact. I know. I was there. It was me it happened to. I can see it right now in front of me! Yet they say you are wrong, even though they are not there, were never there, never had one or saw one. Why can people not accept that sometimes they are wrong? I find it particularly frustrating when it's a young poster, under 30, who wasn't even born when the subject in question occurred.

    Dishwashers in general. Does anyone else think that the space, particularly on the upper shelf, is just not utilised properly at all? Those weird slanty areas supposedly for cups and then the middle part that should hold plates but it ends up being needed for cups because the weird slanty area doesn't hold the cups properly and therefore you can't fit all the cups in there. Drives me demented.

    Does anyone know where the Dundrum TINE Centre is ? that bucken ad drives me nuts.

    Probably somewhere near a rind-about...whatever that is :D

    The yogurt ad where the children mix the yogurt with milk to make a milkshake or something, it's so gross :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    When you tell someone to taste something and they scrape the tiniest amount of it with their teeth, then decide they don't like it.

    You're not 7 years old, take a f*cking bite and get an actual taste from it. Its not going to poison you.

    I only realised quite recently that it's Cirque du Soleil. I always thought it was Circus Olé. Morto!

    That 24 hour On Line Banking isn't 24 hour!
    It doesn't work between 2 am and 5.

    Then why call it 24 hour? FFS
    I work night shifts & need to access my account. :mad:

    Yep. It's always been like that. It's 21 hour banking, not 24. They're liars.

    Fools who think that "they're all gay", because the leader in a cycling race wears a pink jersey. Brainwashed soccer eejits, who think you're a freak because you don't "support" some English soccer team.

    Why can people not just relax on a Saturday morning? First the bitter twisted bitch next door started clattering about making a racket with her cleaning at stupid o'clock(same every saturday morning), then some bloody religion sellers almost hammered the door down at 10am, for the love of God just fcuk off.

    What is the matter with people? Can they not just enjoy lazing in bed, maybe snuggle up, maybe do 'other' things;) There must be something wrong with them. It's bad enough having wannabe politicians knocking at the door on week nights without having people calling on a Saturday morning about religion.

    Every week the media are churning out the upcoming Leinster match as "O' Driscoll's last game". Getting real tiring at this stage. He's had like four "farewells" already anyway. We get it. He's retiring at the end of the season*.

    If they (the media) applied the same logic to retiring soccer players, ie. highlighting every match as their last milestone, it'd get shot down as being lazy journalism.

    *and will more than likely have a last RaboDirect final too.

    Children at buffets. Yes ignore your child as it runs around making noise and mess but if it runs into me and I spill hot food at them I would be blamed

    The fact that soo many people spell separately wrong. It only has 2 e's people! :mad: People trying to slip e's into everything.....:pac:

    It must be one of the most commonly misspelled words, along with 'a lot'.

    People who put 'but'at the end resulting in the opposite of what they actually mean i.e. 'i like you and all, but...'

    People who dont take their sunglasses off when they're talking to you.
    Peoples who say 'cheers ' instead of 'thank you'.
