We just like to complain?

    I've notice that with a lot of Irish people (I'm Irish myself) that we just like complaining or at least a lot of people I've met do, especially complaining about people who are doing well for themselves,
    For instance in school today, there was a lad doing his sound check and basic run through the songs and a group of lads just said 'what a ******' and as he tried to sing they just shouted and booed.

    Same thing happened in class, someone I know tried to ask a question and another group of lads kept purposely talking over him, felt sorry for the poor lad.

    It just seems people don't like others bettering themselves and to get the upper hand they drag them back down..
    Sad sight

    I remember when AH was all fields. We used to walk to school in our bare feet in the snow. On Sundays we painted our feet black going to mass to look like shoes.

    Lack of education and bad manners is all it is. Unfortunately this generation have no idea how to forward themselves in a polite and professional way. Sad really.

    Wains is a great word. I'm a poor bogger and yet somehow that word conjures up images of places more deprived than my own. :)

    Yeah it's Ulster Scots. Lived in Donegal for a while myself and I noticed that the further away from Inishowen and Derry you go, it changes from 'wains' more to 'weans' and 'wee-uns'. I digress.

    Complainers annoy me to the stage where I feel compelled to express my annoyance to others verbally.

    That's Finn Valley, far away as Christmas from me, I'm from Inishowen, half a mile short of an independent country, some day we might blow up the Pennyburn bridge and make it that way. :)

    There is (or used to be) a creche in Buncrana or Burnfoot or somewhere called Wains' World, drove past it shortly after driving past a pub that had built an extension to house a nightclub in, they named the club...The Extension. Nearly wet myself. Donegal isn't a place, it's a state of mind.

    Doing a sound check doing double Irish. Respect for getting the band together so early in the morning. I used to piss off myself when that nonsense started. Was it the teacher that was interrupting ? They've no respect for young X Factor people ....these old twats. Buy him / her a copy of Peig and they'll go sit in a corner and weep.
