Haha, That's a great idea I think I might get one of those.

Much safer. None of this waving your pole around expecting it to be grabbed.

It runs from Friday, I think the televised freak show is Monday and Tuesday, sure it'd have to be a week day so as not to interfere with the escorts hurling schedule:D

Right. Thanks for the heads-up Punkin, I'd completely forgotten about the stupid thing. Now I know when to make damn sure and be out somewhere!

It's cringe worthy. There's nothing to do in Tralee though, I'd to overnight there once for an early outpatient appointment, dull as a brick, no wonder they get all excited about it down there.

I don't like how football commentators describe people from Portugal. They'll be talking about Ronaldo and say "a great shot there from the Portuguese".

To me it sounds incomplete. It sounds like something is missing. It'd be like saying "a great shot there from the English". The English what?! The English man, English striker?

It should be "a great strike from the Portugueser." Portu-geezer. Great word and they just haven't used it enough. Bleh.

Sorry to burst your bubble but a native of Portugal is called a Portuguese, which also happens to be the name of the language.

A trivial thing that annoys me is people getting stuff like that wrong.

I got my new social welfare card today. It looks really cheap, like a badly designed forged id. The picture isn't even in colour. Who though putting a black and white photo against a greeny/blue/white floral background would be a good idea?

Way to miss the entire point of what I said. Yes I know it's correct. Yes I know it's the name of the language, much like English is the name of the language we're conversing in now. What I'm saying is it sounds incomplete to me to simply say 'the Portuguese' when referring to one person. Eg you wouldn't say great strike there from the French,Irish, English without adding 'man' or player to the end of it. I know it's correct. But it annoys me.... trivially.... as is the point of the thread.

Trivial annoyance, people using smug smilies. And my bubble ain't burst homes.


Ps- Portugueser should be a word. It sounds class.

What baffles me is why they didn't just streamline services across departments by integrating the PPSN card with the driving licence card, instead of having two separate cards?

Which reminds me - at 37 years of age, I haven't carried ID for years, yet there's always that one "Have you got ID?" security personnel, rarely, but it still happens. I mean, do I look like I'm gonna be tearing up the dance floor? Very unlikely! :pac:

Another annoyance is those people that have some sort of weird compulsion to fill their wallets with plastic - ATM cards, credit cards, ID cards... it just looks weird seeing them flick through half a dozen cards by the time I've whipped out paper money from my arse pocket to pay for drinks or whatever. I also haven't carried a wallet in years, no need for one when I've nothing to put in it! :pac:

The fact there is virtually no litter bin inside in the ILAC shopping mall in Dublin City centre itself. My own personal workaround then is not to shop in the ILAC.

The ILAC is a kip in itself.

The card doesn't even have my date of birth on it. My PPS number is on the back and it has a gammy photo of me on the front. I thought when social welfare were issuing a new card, considering that it is a Government body, that card would do me for id and at least would look official. TBH, I would be embarrassed showing this card. I hope they get they're act together in the future and come up with a card that that could be used as an international id.

My Garda id card which I got over ten years ago looks more professional and I was expecting something like that. Instead I got something that looks cheap and tacky and I wouldn't embarrass myself by trying to use it as Id but the ironic thing is, this is the card that the government has paid a fortune to set me apart from the rest.

People who walk with their heads down and never look up to make sure they aren't walking into OTHER PEOPLE!!!! Grrr. Extra kill points if they are on their mobile. Or reading a book! Who does that?!

I think it is safe to say that most of us on here are extremely trivally annoyed by chuggers, but can I also give a mention to the people who stop for the chuggers.

Heading up South Anne Street yesterday evening and all three chuggers had managed to capture a victim. I'm not sure if they had managed to convince them to sign up but people stopping for them are doing a complete diservice to those of us who would like to see them wiped off the face of the earth.

Maybe they are "taking one for the team" & wasting their time so they won't annoy the rest of us.

Why? Portugal were neutral during WW2 so Tommies would have had virtually no contact with any Portuguese people.
