Anniversary of Beast from the East; why was it that people went crazy for Brennan's Bread? It's not even a very good bread. Bog standard doughy white sliced pan.

Because people are idiots. I knew the minute a few drops of snow fell I'd see "hilarious" bread jokes on social media. Well here's one for you, those got stale almost as soon as they happened the first time. Almost makes you wanna wreck a Lidl.

I put on the Robbie Williams programme on TG4 to sing along with the old songs, but he's turned into Daniel O'Donnell.

I nicked myself shaving - hate that

Just realised between one thing and another I haven't driven my car since last Friday week and the brake discs are all rusty.

EDIT I also realised I've no cash on me, well maybe €5 in loose change, I don't need any really but I'm kinda old school and like something in the wallet other than plastic.

David McSavage did a podcast in which he described that bread as being made of bitterness and hate....:D:D

Beg to differ, had four slices of their Wholegrain product this am at approx 0645 and by 0730 I was on the bowl sluicing out a nice baton with minimum effort.

Their product does its job, as far as I can ascertain, no complaints here.

I hear Mom from Kerry ppl as well, interchangeably with Mam.

Today's trivial annoyance is brought to you by the patronising, sexist arse I had over to fix a problem in the apartment today. He briefly explained what the cause of the problem was and asked if I understood. I said I did and clearly meant it. He still explained it again, slower and with more elaborate hand gestures, practically drawing a picture and asked again if I understood. And again.

When I said yes again (and again) he said "oh you do, do you? Are you suuuure?" A prickish, patronising smirk spread over his face when he saw he was annoying me. I half expected him to pat me on the head and call me "Little Lady." There aren't enough rolling eyes emoji in the world.

A swift kick up the backside was what he needed !

Yea it has , my guess is it stems from the Irish word " mamai " or Mamó . They are pronounced Momaí / Momó so it seems to have come from that

I've never heard anyone say "mom" in Cork. Mam or Mammy are the only way I ever recall hearing it pronounced.

I assumed the first post in relation to this was talking about the written version though, not the spoken version. No one this side of the Atlantic should ever write "Mom".

I only spoke of what I hear in west Cork as have other posters mentioned too . Maybe its a gaeltacht area use
I have no idea why you have a problem with people who call their mother Mom also writting that as Mom ?
My nieces from West Cork text me and mention their Mom . No clue as to why shouldn't ?

I live in North cork most people here use the word mam. Some might use mammy at times.
I have heard of people say me ma more so in the city.
I remember I came across the word mom once. It was from a well respected family who were on the Cork/Kerry border.

Because different things annoy different people. Even trivial things.

The Cork accent in general annoys me coz I had a very patronising uncle from Cork. So everytime I hear a west Cork lilt my shackles are raised.
He did describe his mother as Mom though and he would be well into his 80s now.

Thats true I suppose ! We all have our trivial annoyances ! I love the Cork accent but then again my uncles were all lovely !

Another Corkonian who says mom here, most of my friends from Cork say mom as well. Some say mam alright so it just depends.

Minding my littlest niece this evening and she has been asking for “blue on blue” for the last hour and I’ve no idea what she’s saying. I can’t text her mam as she’s in a meeting and my dancing isn’t working at distracting her.

Take the surname Coughlan.
It's pronounced different in different parts of Cork.
Some people don't even relies it's the same surname.
PS it doesn't annoy me.
