After Hours - the year ahead

AnimalChin

Valentine's day

While some people are going on about how they're going away for Valentine's day and how great their other halves are, the rest will be feeling sorry for them as they should be treated so the rest of the year round.

How Valentine's days is just a stupid Hallmark holiday.

And then you have the same sad people trying to convince everyone their much happier being single.

Pancake Tuesday

What pancakes toppings are you having? How many pancakes have you eaten today?...

There'll be a few hypochondriacs who've convinced themselves their wheat and gluten intolerant so they'll chip in with a healthier option here and in the Nutrition forum.

Lent

What will you give up for lent? Smoking, booze, chocolate etc. Always the same.

St. Patrick's day

Which parade will you be going to? Where are you going drinking? "I can't wait to have a shamrock milkshake" and "Green Guinness lol".

Of course there'll be the usual it's ridiculous how much people drink on this day - nation of p1ssheads etc. Reports on fights among the usual subsection of humanoids. "God what must the tourists think of us!"

Oh yeah, and gays in the parades! "What about the kids!?"

Easter

Easter eggs. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Wouldn't people be better off without religion (again)? The annoying atheists making the same 'jokes' they've been making for years.

Good Friday. You'll have some people being all indignant and feeling persecuted by Catholicism. Yawn.

There'll be others whining about the whiners -
"can't you go one day without being to the pub"!
"That's not the point!" etc....

"Then go an lobby your local constituents!" Of course the same people whinging will have done nothing the last few years, but they'll be out in force to moan on boards.

Summer

Crowded beaches, teenager's drinking in public, fights, Howth, Portmarnock, Dollymount, Gardai doing nothing, youth of today, "it's too hot!", heatwaves, hottest summer since 1914 or something, kids' summer holidays, teacher's holidays - which will lead to more teacher threads, "where are you going on you holidays?", boastful 'Walter Mitty' posts about where folk are going, holidays in Ireland vs holidays abroad, summer music festivals, Electric Picnic, too many skangers...

Halloween

Excuse for girls to dress as slutty as possible, 'hilarious' homemade costumes, "Will you be answering the door?" Fruit or sweets? Fireworks - should be legal/better enforcement on current laws, scumbags at Halloween, favourite scary movies, what to dress up as? Controversial costumes - from Jesus and Mohammed to Nazi's and 'black face'.

November time

Too early for Christmas decorations, "My neighbour has their decorations up already".

Christmas

What are you getting? "It's wrong to lie to kids and pretend there's a Santa!"
"It's a religious holiday! Why are you celebrating it you heathen!?"
Real or artificial tree this year (?) and the merits on each, your favourite ever Christmas present, Christmas abroad, shops packed, people getting into debt over Christmas, kids get too much, favourite Christmas movies...

And in between there'll inevitably be even more threads on:

TV licence/broadcasting charge
Vegetarians/vegans
Movie/music piracy
The occasional conspiracy theory
Nauseating 'RIP threads'
De Politicians and their wages
Some gay people will be offended at something like a cake shop and there'll be a huge thread on it.
Irish in Australia
Travellers
Are/is/why <insert stupid generalised question here that nobody can possibly answer unless a ridiculously extensive study is carried out>
Charity (and animals vs other charities)
Fat people
Sexism - it's only sexism when it's a man etc.
Feminism and feminazism

TL;DR - AH is

boring

and

repetitive

. AH, "You're

f*

cking

out

!"

Do you think this thread is original or something?

If you do, you're sadly mistaken and part of the very clique you've just criticised.

And, the fact you wasted an inordinate amount of time constructing such a post, thinking about it, and wallowing from it, says more about you than anyone else.

Well what would you like us to discuss in the forum then?

L.Jenkins

Think that pretty much sums up AH in a nutshell. Could almost write a book from that.

You're awful mean

Generic Dreadhead

At least it's formatted well

kfallon

People in a forum discussing things that are current....whoever would have thought it!!!

humanji

All I got from that was a desire for pancakes.

The Peanut

FFS, spoiler alert please.:mad:

Ah right.

So the same things people talk about in real life year after year after year then.

And for the record, I will have one pancake with butter & maple syrup, one with lemon & sugar, and one with nutella and strawberries. I will not give up anything for lent. I would like a Ferrero rocher egg (the one with the nuts in the shell). I will be going away for a week on Valentines Day but not on a romantic holiday. I love summer. All of it. Love it. Summer is my favourite. It's not too hot. It's never too hot (see my R&R thread on this subject). I will likely not dress up for Halloween unless there's a party on somewhere that's worth going to. I will be voting yes for marriage equality and I will be urging others to do so. I will not be tarring any race or gender with any brush. I will not be a fat person. I will probably download a movie but not a car. I will give money to charity, homeless, children's, and for the first time, animals.

Right. I'm done for the year. Sound.

Gran Hermano

OP discovered this within a month yet fails to add needless re-regs to the list of topics.
Last I heard reading/posting here ain't compulsory.

Dissapointed to see no dole bashing threads this year. I'll save up my comments for next year so.

And people unnecessarily quoting giant opening posts. That'll always be here to. As will someone commenting on the fact that people unnecessarily quote giant opening posts.

cml387

When you see what's going to happen on May 4th you'll wish that the OP's list was all you had to worry about.

I've said too much.

Katgurl

Is water charges missing from that list?

Anyway -think I am missing the point. What's the problem with discussing any the OP?

Plans never work out the way you want them to anyways,pointess making them to begin with

OldGoat

Can we ban anyone for posting new threads not included in the OP? It'll keep the forum nice and quite except at Valentines, Paddies, Easter....

jimgoose

I want pancakes!

Dog of Tears

A girl will, apropos of nothing, mention her boobs in response to some issue.

She will harvest many 'Thanks'.

Is it that time already?

Ooh, and haven't I read this thread already?

Idbatterim

you missed dole and public servants threads Op, one of the AH staples!

MadsL

You missed two staples

Easter - will you wear a lily?
November - would you wear a poppy?

Both thtreads will have 1000+ replies and at least three posters will get banned.

MistyCheese

My daughters birthday is on Pancake Tuesday. My dad's is on Fathers Day. Jesus' is on Christmas.

evolving_doors

People stop, ... for god sake won't someone please think of the teachers..please..

edit: forgot those threads usually happen around easter (teacher conferences) and 'summer holidays' ..

Also...

Poppy day..

Finding safe day

I reckon the OP is just getting old and realising its same shjt year on year out...

Also noticing that the pop stars are younger than him and young peoples music is crap... which it is.

Skullface McGubbin

And don't forget about threads on breaking news stories which always devolve into a back & forth between two stubborn posters spanning about 10-20 pages.

Steve_Carella

Blast OP with piss.

El_Dangeroso

Your thread is bad and you should feel bad.

Annasopra

We've had Leo Varadkar threads in the last 3 weeks. I reckon we might have 25 this year in total ;-)

The schedule's a bit tight but I think we can fit it in between "Prams on buses" and "Prams left at bust stops because welfare will pay for a new one"

Venus In Furs

The annoying atheists making the same 'jokes' they've been making for years.

Good Friday. You'll have some people being all indignant and feeling persecuted by Catholicism. Yawn.

And so the agenda shines through.;)

Vomit

Dole, junkies, travellers, Father Ted quotes, Simpsons memes.

Hang on, is there no Halloween beers this year?

Ah feck, I've started on the costume

I like pancakes

You've been here a month, and you post here more than any other forum. Why??

Here's one you left out: people starting threads in AH about how sh1t it is. Guess we can strike that off the list for the year.
