    It’s dreadful isn’t it. The laughs are all ‘smart-person laughs’ rather than belly laughs


    Trying too hard to be clever imo. The "jokes" are very weak.

    Yes. There’s a nervous laughter of “should I be laughing at this? Was he being funny here? Oh yeah guy beside me is laughing so I can laugh!”

    You can hear the fake laughter ripple around the crowd.

    Food. Not that I don't enjoy it, but I have no interest in it in that "foodie" sense. Eating is just a thing that has to be done for me.

    If I could eat the same thing every day that was easy to prepare, cheap and nutritious I would.

    Do you reckon you would open a wormhole if you called Joe to complain about Joe?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,810 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    The term 'people of colour', what the hell does that even mean, aren't we all people of colour???

    Yeah especially since that's fine to say, whereas "coloured people" is racist ?
    Now I'm not saying I want to say "coloured" I am aware of the historical aspects to it, but isn't it really the same fucking thing ?

    A United Ireland, I'm sick of all the constant speculation along with the Brexit sh*te. If it happens, ok, if it doesn't happen, also ok, I don't give a fcuk either way

    Of course it's the same thing, it's just torturing language for the sake of it, it's beyond ridiculous.

    Also if I don't know someone's name I see nothing wrong with calling them by their actual colour, (if they're white they're white, if they're brown they're brown). It's only to help identify who they actually are, people's colour is a pretty significant feature.

    Being American, I don't give a sh!t about Trump or Hillary. I didn't vote for either of them because even today, I still don't know who was the lesser evil.

    I don,t care about social media, facebook,instagram,
    i think the irish language is a waste of money.
    it should be optional,
    let people choose tech or economics or music as a subject instead.
    Unless you want to work in rte, or tg4, or as a teacher,
    irish will be of no use to you at all when you leave school .
    99 per cent of employers do not care at all that you learned irish,
    big deal, no use in a job.
    They will pick an employee with knowledge of tech or science or maybe some experience in customer service .
    French, italian, chinese language skills will actually help you get a job.
    eg languages that real people actually speak in the real world.
    i have never heard anyone speak irish in dublin ,
    unless its on some program on rte .

    By don't give a shit I take it you mean don't care either way. In which case I'd say gay marriage. Until fairly recently it never even crossed my mind that homosexuals would want to get married. It doesn't bother me that they now can get married.

    I find it weird how everyone suddenly started acting like gay marriage not being allowed was the biggest injustice in the world. I'm willing to bet the majority of heterosexual people my age never even gave 'marriage equality' a second thought for most of their lives.

    I don't give a **** about people proclaiming I have never watched Game Of Thrones
    I haven't watched other popular shows,
    I don't need to exclaim it to everyone


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    I don,t care about fashion,
    i just buy jeans, jackets that look good,and are comfortable
    fashion changes every year, its basicly, buy new stuff
    we need to make more money.
    Throw away your phone, buy this years model,
    the new iphone has 3 camera,s and an apple credit card.
    im not a pro photographer , i don,t need to take 4k hdr photos at night.
    The phone i bought 2 years ago works fine.
    i dont see the point of apple watch,s ,
    so i,m gonna start reading txts on a one inch screen,
    no thanks , i ,ll just use my phone.

    I Dont care about new phones that have maybe a 10 per cent better camera,
    they all use the same app,s .
    is there any phone that is really worth 1000 euro,
    or is it just a status symbol ,
    Like buying 300 euro sneakers that have the right logo on them.
    i don,t need another device that uses weird apps and needs to be charged
    every day.

    I cannot see the point of tattoo,s .
    is it showing off or its like look at all these tatoo,s on my arm ,neck.
    i,m so tough .
    or maybe i,m a serial killer who works in a coffee shop.
    Or i,m a middle class idiot who wants some street cred.

    Most tatto,s just look ugly to me .

    i would be happy if 99 per cent of students learned french, latin ,carpentry anything but irish.

    I own a property ..and thanks to the homeless crisis i and the risk of being sued for discrimination i had to show to 128 ...yes ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT PEOPLE to show i wasn't discriminating.


    I then had to ring at least half of those back to further show i was not discriminating.

    That is down the homeless crisis.

    You try showing a flat to 128 people in 12 days.

    I'd have no problem dong that as long as I'm, like most LL's, getting a ton of money every month for it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭Church on Tuesday


    Apple products.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    Fashion , if I like the colour and it fits it's sold!
    Stories about celeb lifestyles.
    Things that I am informed "you don't know what you're missing".
    People I have never heard of.
    A whole lot of recent "music"!


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,783 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Property, property porn, interior design porn.
    Mind numbingly boring stuff to base TV shows around.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭mistersifter


    Certain events:

    weddings, christenings, communions, baby showers, people's birthdays. That kinda thing.


    edit; and New Year's Eve.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Raconteuse


    Fashion again here. I love clothes, shoes, accessories, style... but what's "in fashion" now is usually a load of bollox.

    Travel to exotic/stupidly hot places. I love travelling but I've never done the stint in South East Asia or South America, and I doubt I ever will (some people seem to think you can only like the above or a fortnight in a Balearic resort, but neither for me).
