    Ass wipes trying to read MY newspaper before I do.....I am weird like that, I buy it so I get to read it first!! Once I have read it, you can have and keep it.

    People are absolute pigs when it comes to cleaning up their own crap at the cinema. They just get up out of their seat and leave a rubbish pile behind them. There's bins at on the way out, just walk the couple of metres to it and dispose of your thrash. This entitlement of getting someone else to do it is just lazy and bratty. Just do it yourself ya dirtbag!

    I used to work in UCI years ago and in order to clean the cinemas we turned on these giant lights that put the cinema into total brightness. If customers ever saw the state of the place in that total light they'd never go back to a cinema again!! Shocking stuff.

    Then, when finished cleaning, we'd turn the lights off again and the place would look grand :-D

    The computer acting the **** when the disc space is too full, it always disables YouTube saying it needs adobe reader, and stops boards notifications appearing as red numbers along with the pop up menus too. I try uninstalling things to make space yet its never enough :-(

    Disc space full? Jaysus, what is this 2007? Everyone had 4TB of storage nowadays :pac:

    I'm very annoyed at the fact the KitKat chunky is now the main KitKat where I work.... FCUK RIGHT OFF WITH THAT, the old one is far superior.

    Try this Rob and see does it help -

    Sounds like you might just be missing the flash component in your browser, and this should free up some hard drive space -

    Soccer, I hate soccer, bloody women's sport. Listening to the muppets in work going on about the snoozefest that happened over the weekend

    "OOOh you did well didn't you?"
    "Yeah we were lucky"

    Really? What position do you play in? What part of Liverpool/Manchester/London do you come from?

    What's worse is when you meet someone who doesn't know you hate soccer, you tell them and they still try to bend your ear about how their team did. I DON'T CARE F*** OFF!

    I've seen those tortilla Pringles, but haven't tried them.
    I imagine they'll be hard-ish in texture or a bit like those best-forgotten-Rice Pringles.

    They have a kind of dry texture. I'd forgotten about Rice Pringles. These might very well disappear after Summer.

    People who get on the bus and wait til they get to the driver to start looking for coins hoping the driver will wave them on - they're usually tourists.

    Oh and people who wear back-packs indoors or on trains/buses or in pubs......they should be shot with pellets of their own sh*te.

    Probably been mentioned before but people pushing trolleys around supermarkets and eating or drinking produce before they get to the till I mean it's theft isn't it.

    Crisps are the most popular choice but yesterday I saw a guy ambling round drinking out of a 0.5 l cardboard milk carton. I wonder how many actually pay when they get to the till.

    People over exaggerating the importance of their jobs, I work with people who refuse to take a lunch because they ''so busy with tasks'' if your costantly having to miss lunch you ain't doing the job right and stop talking to me about it, you;d swear they were saving the planet.

    Controvershall... :pac:


    I'm not sure now tbh, I pretty much use them interchangeably, referring to statistical dayta or data analysis software; an ISP's dayta allowance would indicate there's a limit on the amount of data a person can download...

    Be up all night now saying that to myself, "data, dayta"... I think the first one is British English, and the second is US English is the difference in pronunciation, wouldn't quote me on it though :D

    In British English Data is pronounced 'Dayta' where as in US English, data is pronounced Daata.

    I'm thinking of Captain Jean Luc Picard in that English accent of his.

    Can't imagine Daa'ta in an English accent.

    People here in Ireland seem to say Daa'ta instead of Day'ta.

    And what's the deal with people calling those shiny metal pipes that dispense running water "taps?"

    Your beef here is with the Oxford English dictionary, not Eircom.

    I had bronchitis last week and I'm still coughing, even though I've finished my antibiotics. I hate itchy burning coughs and it's frustrating when I lay down that I start coughing. I'm tired, so tired. Tempted to go back to my GP but I think he'd probably say it'll just take time to settle down.

    I'm annoyed by the sudden change in terms and conditions of Dunnes vouchers. Up until a week or so ago when I spent over 50 euro I could use the 20 euros off vouchers that we had, then they changed it so you can't use both unless you spend over 100 euro. :rolleyes:

    If you fix the printer in work and maybe fix a few other things then you become the IT god

    Yesterday morning I had a teammate expecting me to crawl under their desk to connect the loose power cable to their monitor
