    Wrexham AFC.

    This is not a fairytale story, it's a club that's out spent all it's rivals by loads in the last few seasons and has got promoted when they should've been. They've now been forced upon everyone by the media, continually being pushed on us as if all neutrals should be cheering for them. It's nice for their fans and the town itself but that is all.

    This is not a fairytale story, Leicester winning the league was a fairytale, even Blackburn Rovers winning (even though they spent big) was a fairytale because it was a local businessman and lifelong fan who elevated the club to winning the premier league. This is a bunch of very wealthy Hollywood actors who strategically bought an underperforming club and have helped them grow, it's as much a fairytale as Manchester city or Chelsea in recent decades is. The media seem to think they people at home should be in awe of hollywood actors when and support them because of that when in reality most people are competely indifferent about celebrities these days.

    People who light up a cigarette at a bus stop and stand right beside everyone, at least move away from the rest of us!

    There's one worse than that :-(

    People that pick up their dogs mess when other people are around then fling the bag away as soon as they can't be seen.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    all these ‘GRWM’ videos popping up on social media.

    “My shoes are from xx, jeans are from yy, top is from zz, bag is from ww, hat is from vv”

    Ffs…Let me just stop ya there horse, there hasn’t been a waking or sleeping moment on this planet where I’ve given a monkey’s tug, what another person is wearing or where they got it or what they paid for it…please go away and do something constructive.. Extra points for the young wans trying to show off their heels, lifting one leg up for the camera and nearly falling over if it wasn’t for grabbing the door of the microwave or something ….ffs. 🤪

    Coughing Java house customers. While I attempted to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, someone sits in our Java house and frequently coughs, blasting their germs in our confined space for all of us to breathe.

    The smell and taste of ice that's been in the freezer too long. My parents point-blank refuse to believe that this is a thing (because they don't really use ice) and think I'm just being a fussy fcuk.

    ” Smell and taste of ice “ Wha !. Every day is a learning day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭blackvalley


    Note to self. Next time you order a g&t be sure to order “ fresh “ ice 😆

    There is a difference in the taste especially if left for a few months after it has been opened. The texture changes as well



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,815 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Agreed. It starts to taste and smell of freezer (i.e., it pics up the scent of the other stuff that's in there, especially peppers, leeks, etc), there's a stale scent to it. The same thing happens to butter.

    I'm having a good week at wordle and globle , but because I was in hospital I don't know / haven't kept my scores .

    Young fellas standing chatting in front of the treadmills while I’m slogging away on my jog. Why did my gym go and change the orientation of the treadmills. It was easier looking at a wall!

    I've only recently discovered that Ally Pally is a colloquialism for "Alexandra Palace" and I feel a bit stupid now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭brokenbad


    Influencers posting content on social media while posing in skin tight yoga pants with the camel toe on show to lure in the male viewers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,735 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Its one of the colloquialisms that TA's me. When I lived in the UK I used to go to the woodworking show and stuff like that. It was always really annoying when events were outside Alexandra Palace that the contributors would complain it wasn't as good as "Ally Pally".

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,735 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    I wonder why this video has had 39 MILLION views, people must really like chainsaws

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭brokenbad


    Wait…..there was a chainsaw in that video??😆

    When a colleague gets work on their teeth and its impossible NOT to focus on the new chompers when in conversation



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,303 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    'or restaurant employees that scoop ice with unwashed hands'…

    never mind the ice, you can refuse that.

    When I was a smoker I found that lighting a cigarette while waiting for a bus always made the bus arrive, so those people could really be doing you a service. 😉



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭brokenbad


    It's so obvious with the perfectly straight gleaming white chompers - very popular with the Gen Z cohort nowadays along with bigger tits and hair transplants for the lads….

    Cheltenham.

    The Irish medias annual obsession with it, simply because the highly subsidised Irish millionaire owners usually "do us proud" by beating the Brits.

    I would love to thank this more - the amount of tax money gone towards the racing industry is properly sickening considering the wealth involved

    The OH putting items on the stairs… idea is that next person going upstairs brings it up.
    But I'm already upstairs so it's a trip hazard for small items.

    I'm convinced some people actually like sitting in traffic. It's the only explanation why so many people actively slow down approaching green lights, take a geological eon to move off from lights, take even longer to turn left and are generally just mind-bogglingly slow to react in general. I can't be dealing with them.

    And I've said this before, but people who use wrap muzzles while walking their dog. They're only designed for really quick use, like giving a dog liable to snap an injection, or clipping nails, etc., because the dog can only breathe through their nose while it's on. You need a basket muzzle for walks, etc. so the dog can breathe normally and pant if they need to.
