I know what he's at. Call him again. Explain to him calmly and rationally that if that tree is not disposed of tidily and quare lively, and your rent allowance not restored immediately, you will be phoning the Revenue Commissioners and telling them who you are, who he is, and exactly what the setup is, and they will shortly thereafter be auditing his pimply arse with an electron microscope.

You're either way out Wesht somewhere like Clifden, or off down Castletown Bearhaven direction, surely?

A bit further north. I'm out in the sticks where Yeats called "The Land of heart’s desire."

False advertising in shop windows. I have a couple of interviews lined up and I need something new to wear. I haven't bought anything in ages. Naturally when I saw these signs in a shop window - Dresses €10! Jackets €10! - I went right in. But I couldn't find a single reduced item. Maybe the stuff in the window was all that was reduced.

The flowers in my neighbours hanging basket smell awful, it's like a mix of pee and Jeyes Fluid.

This+100. I'm dying with a lung infection, went to the local shop since I felt too ill to go to the supermarket, got home and as soon as I opened the fridge I realised I'd forgotten milk. Incidently, where did all these underlines and personal quotes come from? You go away for a while and it all goes to hell in a handbasket, sigh.

Earlier I spoke to some lout at Hutchison Telecom, under the guise of the ridiculous "Three" hereabouts, to enquire whether I was "allowed" to tether under their current "Data "Plan"!!" or whether I should have to get funky-evil on their Antipodean arses. It turns out I can, without being charged a tenner-a-megabyte or somesuch nonsense. Shockin' daycint of them. However, a second query reveals that I am under contract to them for 24 months, as opposed to the 18 months I had hitherto thought for some reason. That would have been out next month, at which time I was looking forward to bullying them into giving me the electrical radiotelephony for cheap. This makes me bellow with rage like the mighty Genghis Khan's accountant. :mad:

its a lovely day out, my neighbours have 16 acres, but they're talking and chopping wood looking in at me sitting out in the sun at the one part where there's a gap in the hedge at the closest possible part to where I am sitting.

The Daily Express newspaper is terrible for this. Every single day, they have one of these ridiculous stories as one of their front-page headlines. I think today or yesterday it was "Sleeping on your side prevents Alzheimers!" You can see all the front pages on the Sky News website.

It's all a load of BS and I'm kind of surprised media outlets are still running these BS stories at all, never mind on the front page - daily!


Here are just a few, as an example:

TA clowns who go to the exact change lane at the toll roads & then discover they don't have it, forcing you to reverse back onto the motorway.

Three complete gob****es sitting together in McDaonlds shouting in their culchie accents and laughing at everything they said. None of them bought any food/drink either.

Silent discos. Someone was telling me that there's one on locally for LC students to celebrate results. I had to Google it, never heard of one before. Apparently they all listen to the music on headphones instead of a usual disco. Tbh, the thought of a club full of teens moving around silently with headphones on sounds a bit bloody creepy.

When you find a nice dress or top in a shop and then notice that the only one in your size has make-up stains all over the collar. disgusting! Ffs if you can't change your clothes without getting makeup all over them then don't wear any when you go shopping!

I've never partaken in silents discos but I've witnessed them at festivals. They're terrible things! The other thing about them is that they're far from silent.

Even though the participants have headphones on, and observers can't hear any music, they can hear all the gobdaws with the headphones talking loudly (or shouting) in order to communicate with each other.

AFAIK it was one of the coldest/wettest July on record :mad:

Adults on bikes cycling with no hands just 'cause. Why?

People who cross busy junctions without looking because whatever is on their phone is more important than living.

People who f**king litter with no justification whatsoever.

True. This summer may not be one of the compared to the last 2 but taken as a whole, it is decent enough. True, July was one of the poorest Julys ever but April-June was lovely and August so far is good too. 2009, 2008, 2007, 2002, 1997, 1988, 1986 and 1985 are what were really bad summers MUCH WORSE than this year or 2012.

Was on the road a bit over the weekend and truckers who decide to have a head to head race along both lanes of a motorway annoy the sh!t out of me.

The US presidential election. It is 15 months away and I am already sick of it!
Now, I will definitely stay up all night to watch the results come in....but am already sick of the early rounds in this thing.

People playing sports on the beach, what's that all about!
I can understand if you have small kids which need to be amused with a ball or somesortnof tennis. But adults, usually grown men, milling a sliotar from one end to the other, or playing rugby. Can you not just go for a swim/surf/paddle or just sit and enjoy the sea? I.e. Do all the things that you cannot do on in a field which is probably much closer to your house...
