People who use the Irish language version of their name.
For example, people who were born, christened and registered as Paul Murphy, for example, who start going by Pól Ó'Murachú.
The majority of cyclists whom you encounter on roads now are tossers…
Hypocritically the most vocal cohort regarding road safety, and what everyone else should be doing to safeguard them but… the majority when asked to play their part…
1) no hi vis
2) no / ineffective lighting
3) no regard for or adherence to traffic signals or the rest of the road traffic act for that matter.
you see the ‘no hands’ brigade daily, it’s not an odd occurrence.
gets to the stage you hear of a cyclist injured or involved in an RTA and it’s 🤷♂️. That particular cohort don’t help themselves.
when the tosser cohort of cyclists start giving a fûck about their fellow road users, maybe then people will have more sympathy and respect for them.
Sometimes the dogs look like they are going to collapse.
Cyclists 'walking'/running their dog alongside their bike, with lead.
Get off and walk yourself, you lazy git, accident waiting to happen.
In a class of 30 x 5 year olds, it'll be 15 Jacks and 15 Noahs.
The country is flooded with Noahs, number two in 2022 in boy's names. You must be shopping with the plebs.
I guess you don't live in my estate with a school around the corner and find the street blocked with them twice a day, when the children could easily have walked to school if they weren't at risk of being hit by said SUVs 😏
Seems a fairly raw nerve was touched when the the stovepiped short wearing brigade out with the clan on Sunday shopping were called out.
Tyler and Noah of course should be able to direct Dad to the organic cheeses already.
Smart lads, PWC or Ernst and Young loom in the future.
Well, I was given a warning and told "not to question a poster" on this thread. So be careful calling people out on their spoofs.
You could have completed the list. I don't know who the etcs are.
The equivalent of the perceived Tarquins or Cecils now are obscure Irish names from the ancient celtic tales, that you never heard of.
I met a husband and wife at their home in South Dub a few years back to plan renovations and was introduced to a raft of offspring as they came and went; Tiarnach, Beibhinn, Dubthach, Amargin, Aifric, Faolán, Iseult, Fíadh etc.
I enjoy speaking the bit of Irish I have now and again, but some arsehole named Paul condemning his kids to a lifetime of hell by naming them Fúcknuck, just screams tosser to me.
All names have been changed to protect the unembarrassable.
And you get tossers following them around in shopping centres to hear what they are saying to their children.
You are taking things too literally. It's used for effect, to portray the d4 types as wanting to be so special they pick a very very rare name.
Also those people who just parrot American talking points when it comes to "gas guzzlers".
That "gas guzzling SUV" you complain about is a 1.6 diesel ffs! 🤣🤣
The problem of "hunk of a vehicle to drop Johnny to school" is such a non issue in Ireland.
I always find it funny that “Tarquin” is seen as a stereotypical name of “D4s”
Nobody in the country get named Tarquin.

Mostly Mammies that just abandon them outside schools and double park at bustops , certainly local to me anyways
I think it’s tongue-in-cheek, an exaggerated hammed-up example of the type of thing I’ve seen from time to time whilst shopping in certain food stores.
Feck it. I'm getting the shorts out tomorrow.
Seen an Audi A6 recently that was so lowered I had to do a double take as I thought it was crash damaged. What sort of tosser thinks lowering a car like that is the thing to do. I don’t know how he takes that car over speed bumps.
Also the guys who do something to their exhaust so you can hear them half a Kilometre away. It’s noise pollution, the guards should be confiscation those cars. I live about 2 hundred meters from a busy road and they are a scourge on weekend nights especially.
Most of the time, the celebs have absolutely no involvement and the ads are using their image without their permission.
I noticed three lads wearing shorts in the snow on Friday. The urge to roar 'Tosser' was almost irresistible.
Celebs who appear in ads for crypto ,crypto is a scam used by hackers, its bad for the environment as it uses up power to make digitaL assets that mostly have no value
It has probably been mentioned all ready, but suburban SUV drivers. No, you don't need that hunk of a vehicle to drop precious Johnny five minutes down the road to school.
Dudes who insist on wearin the shorts in the middle of Winter ....might as well have "Tosser" tatood uh..written on their forehead !
Them be SERIOUS Tossers....
These ads.
'The man from Geneva (Aviva)!'
'What are gigglybits?'
Not so much what the children say in these ads but the fake laughter in the voices of the women doing the voice over at the end of the ads. Everything about the ads is grating and they have to be designed by tossers.
This thread isn’t to talk about landlords. There’s plenty of threads on this site and better forums indeed to discuss that.
What overheads would they be now? I want figures too.
Celebrities who do adverts for gambling companies, peter crouch and colm meaney for example. How desperate for cash are they? People who havent a pot to piss in wouldnt sell their soul to do these adverts so why are celebrities who are rich doing them?
Except your not allowed write off all yourover heads like a normal business.
After 698 posts, the first with an actual tosser.
And, to reference earlier posts, imagine if they are wearing a kilt while doing so!
