I remember before Christmas, the prime time expose on elderly abuse in a care home where people were just losing the run of themselves on social media, saying this that and the other on what their choice of justice would be eg. various methods of torture inflicted on the offending nurses and staff responsible, can't remember specifics but just silly stuff, hanging I think was one of them. I admire their passion right down to the ground and fair play that there are such strong minded moral folk among us but come on now, suzie from tallaght (random fake example)saying she'll rip their teeth out with pliers and burn them alive?

I just don't think it was the answer in that case but I completely understand the outcry. Sack them without pay, take them off the register and take them to court, even jail, punish them to the fullest extent of the law, but these wannabe axe murderers and arsonists are something I didn't agree with.

And if you tell them you disagree with the death penalty (which I do), you might as well just tell them you're an elder abuser/psycho/paedo/axe murderer yourself. Their pea-sized intellectual capabilities translate a stance against capital punishment into condoning the crimes themselves :rolleyes: It's like some kind of gore contest. Not unlike the grief contests we see on social media sites, where the recently deceased are urged to "sleep with the angles" and the junkie who just got shot inspires the "only the good die young" rant.

Well it had to fúcking happen didn't it. As if Irish people's obsession with talking about the weather was not bad enough, now the sun has poked its hole into the island for a day or two, they've gone into fúcking overdrive. It's all they can talk about. You see the light in the sky? That's the sun. It's warm and it's light and we like it. End of. Would you feckin well get over it you neanderthal gobdaws...

We may need to sacrifice a few virgins to it, just to keep us in sunlight till the weekend:)

I always start my posts with things that I think are trivially annoying but then as I type I become more and more annoyed and eventually I become said angry person that trivially annoys you

And if that does not work, slice their nutsack off with a rusty saw, and bathe the wound in caustic soda, that will shut them up:D

Ladies - pleeeeease STOP with the pouty /duck-face/ I just smelled something funny and I'm confused about it selfies. It does not look attractive at all. It can make a beautiful face just look weird. Every time I see one of these pictures I just cringe. Ick!

Did you not know that's how they show what a good night they had? How else would the world and it's mother know that they are cool and carefree and having the craic if they didn't do trout face?? :P

Sports reporters who insist on describing Premiership Footballers' salaries as a weekly wage.

Look, I don't give a **** how wealthy these guys are. Why should I? No skin off my nose. But I don't like having my intelligence insulted.

Nobody earns 100 grand a week. That's five million a year, give or take, FFS.

Are we supposed to think that the likes of Aguerro, Fabregas, Rooney et al slope up to the accounts hatch in their cloth caps with their sandwich boxes wrapped up in their tracksuits of a Saturday evening to collect 100 grand odd in used fivers in a windowed envelope?

Get outta here. Their remuneration is subject to the most tax-efficient laundering before it gets anywhere near their bank accounts and some of these guys have probably never seen a banknote since they went pro. It all goes on the plastic.

Seriously lads. Enjoy your wealth but enough of the Joe Soap act. You're on seasonal remuneration; not a working man's weekly wage.

Selfies piss me off, full stop. I just find it extremely narcissistic thinking you're that attractive/interesting/amusing or whatever, that you need to photograph yourself and upload it to internet so that other people can thank you for sharing it with them.

I noticed a lot of "younger" people wandering around with cases of Miller today, and thought it must be on sale......then I realised, yep, today is mickey moolah day, and it's sunny.

When people buy a selfie stick it should come with a disclaimer to state:

Upon buying this product you are agreeing to let other members of the public forcefully remove it from your had to beat you with it, and in certain cases insert it in your rectum.

The unexpected arrivals are the worst. "It's only us".
Who does that now? I'd always text or call at least an hour before, to see that it suits. In this day and age, with everyone having phones, there is no need to arrive on someone's doorstep unannounced. Completely unacceptable in my book.

The reason why in-laws and annoying relatives prefer to arrive out of the blue like that is because if they text or ring beforehand they are giving you a chance to make some excuse/say you aren't at home etc.
They take no chances.

Those knobheads blocking O'Connell St, Dublin yesterday celebrating the Rising. If they were alive 99 years ago they're exactly the kind of people who would have avoided the GPO!

Wasn't O'Connell st blocked off by the council for the 1915 gig yesterday? At least it was when I was there..

Constant baby updates on Facebook. I don't mind the odd photo, nice to stay in touch with people like that, etc. Some people really go over the top though. I don't want to see multiple photos and videos every week of any kid, and was it really necessary to post like 10-15 photos of 'X's first easter'?! I've seen more baby bump pics this year than I'd ever wished to see as well.

whatismyname

it trivially annoys me (i.e. does my fecking head in) that my IP address seems to change itself every day (without any of the obvious reasons). My google analytics has filters in to exclude my IP address, but I have to update this every day.

So tedious and google shows me that other people with Talk Talk have the same problem.

So annoying to have to update it every day in order to have accurate web tracking.

Ah that's not too bad. I just get TA by people breathing :P

whatismyname

TA that despite having no action in it whatsoever since I moved in six months ago, I seem to have broken my bed - one of the boards underneath has come away, and I have a dip in the middle.

I mean, if you're gonna break a bed, you should have a decent story behind it.

TA that if I got my wish and got together with the boy I like (unlikely!), I might actually need to consider bringing him to the spare room for shenanigans to avoid breaking the bed altogether

The Diabolical Monocle

The pissy faced douchebag models in the adverts that are targeted at me.
The clothing line shall go unnamed but its something like 'ream a homo'.

And by the pissed on cornflakes looks of these two fart munchers it looks like that's what happened.

Why the fvck do expensive clothes brands use models who always look at you like you're a floating turd.

Oh another TA (Am I the only one annoyed tonight?) - printing a few things via wifi in bed on the laptop to the printer in the office.

All routine stuff. Except the laptop is saying that the printer is an 'error state'.

I really should go and check it out and resolve it, and I'll be glad of it tomorrow if I do and get up and find the stuff printed for me... but it involves getting out of bed, walking around a cold flat... oh and leaving the hot water bottle at my feet. It's a tough one...

Thank you today went okay and I thought tomorrow's would be easier but no it's going to be so difficult. Why can I not be one of those people who study all along and not just leave it until the week before???

Un Croissant

This lingering veneration for Paul Walker. I've tried to ignore it. I've tried to get on with my life, but it hits me in the face every twenty minutes.

Can we draw a line under it and start to heal as a society?
