Have to put vinegar on first, then the salt. Any other way is wrong

People writing "would of" instead of "would have".

Reporters referring to their report as their 'package'. Why don't they go the full hog
and call it their 'lunchbox'?!

People coming out with the worst written placards you've ever seen to protest about the Garth Brooks' concert license fiasco.

Just take a butchers' at these!

I rarely get chipper chips. I used to get them with lashings of salt and vinegar.
Now, I much prefer them without. Less soggyness and grittyness. And they taste much better when you make a chip butty without.

What?
They call a report a package?

If they are getting something via DHL, what do they call that?

Dunno. A rolling-pin? Reporters and journalists are a breed apart anyway - most of them are functionally illiterate, yet rate themselves up there with Plato and Newton. :pac:

Yes, far too frequently, IMO! Just heard it again from Sinéad? Crowley, Arts
Correspondent, on RTE News last night. Whenever I hear it, the image of that
ad with David Beckham in his jocks comes to mind!!

Why do they refer to it as that anyway on radio/TV? Obviously, they use the word
among themselves - they should keep it there!!

My trivial annoyance of the day!!

Dial Hard

People who stop dead at the top/bottom of an escalator or just inside a shopping centre entrance while they have a think about where they want to go. MOVE!

Grocery shopping. I forgot 1 thing yesterday so I've got to go to Dunnes later as I can't get what I need in the overpriced local shop. The thought of facing hordes of unsupervised little kids running around getting in everyone's way is depressing and really pisses me off.

There IS a God

You are all welcome on my bus for the morning commute

I notice they "come with tyres"....very handy.

I'd love to buy one and drive around Dublin, stopping at bus stops, but not opening the doors. Just stare out people......:D

That ain't even a trivial affair.

Said to you as you arrive at a cashier, bank teller, post office clerk in almost every place in London.
Very stupid, makes no sense and very robotic.

Only a matter of time before it makes its way back home

I'd let you drive it, and I'd be the inspector - taking delight in refusing people for wearing flight socks and carrying Nolans bags. There'd also be a smell test - no damp/mildew/stale smoke smells please! Also, anyone tries to put a single coin in to pay their fare and looks back up at the driver for approval would be booted off immediately. Fat people taking up 1.5 seats will be charged fare and a half. Anybody who even attempts to hock/cough/sneeze/sniff will be forcefully removed via the back window.

Bring it on Oldie................but we need more rules, got to have lots of rules.

We could have flame throwers on the side, to keep the fcukers from clustering at doors. Only 20 "clients" per bus. Prepaid tickets only.
Any lip and they get barred for life, and no stopping at hospitals.

When queuing for a coffee and the barista machine in the shop can make 2 or 3 coffees at a time, and the worker behind the counter insists on making 1 at a time!

Yes. In fact, we'd skip a lot of stops. To hell with those who sit for 2 minutes while loads of people alight and then have the cheek to stand up and get off at the next stop! If there are less than 4 people getting off at a particular stop, tough. We wont be stopping. If you pay extra we will slow down and open the doors as we pass. Whether you make it or not is your call. Lollipop ladies who stop the super bus at non-designated crossing points shall have their lollipops shoved where they lollipoop.

Pronouncing 'my Grandad' as ' my Granad' , it's just lazy .

I was trying to think of some reporters, when I saw your original post, and thought of Pascal Sheehy, just can't imagine Pascal talking about his package :pac:

Oh for the dream bus, my rule would be, anyone yelling into a mobile, or with 'leaky' headphones would be placed in an ejector seat, and ejected to outer space.
Something that used to irritate me too was, an individual at the stop, in the morning, if ten of us were there ahead of her, she still barged on first. She would be banned, without ever being allowed aboard.
