    People saying the "Ireland" football team instead of the Republic of Ireland football team. If we had one team for the whole island it would be of no consequence like it is now.

    Unfair is changing the rules half way through.

    When you know the rules before you enter, and you play under those rules, you have to accept the outcome.

    You sound like a worried Arsenal fan. Into the 9th month into the season and Arsenal have led most of it, yet they haven't had a Player Of The Month. Do you think it would be fair of the champions not to have had even one Player Of The Month? Probably some sort of conspiracy…

    Anyway, my trivial annoyance for today is one I may have mentioned before. The warehouse manager here frequently stops to talk to people at the most awkward places. In corridors, he'll stop at a pillar, the narrowest part, making it hard for anyone else to pass. There are two arrow spots that I visit in the warehouse and he's always there talking to somebody. IT'S A HUGE WAREHOUSE! MOVE ELSEWHERE!

    They represent the country of Ireland so I don't see the issue

    I do. Calling themselves the Republic of Ireland (and that is the team's official name) removes any ambiguity.

    Click bait articles like this:

    "blah blah blah ? The answer may surprise you"

    Example from the Irish Times web site today that triggered me ...

    "Do Irish people pay more income tax than elsewhere? The answer may surprise you"

    Missed a call from Fedex about a delivery. He couldn't get in the main door.

    Will they try and deliver again later or tomorrow I wonder? I won't be home tomorrow. You'd think at least you'd get a time frame. Eager to get my bonsais.

    TA finding chillies in a dish you didn't expect it in and having to fish them out

    One of the showers isn’t working this morning. Used it yesterday evening, it was fine…It’s an old temperamental piece of shît and has been since it’s installation in 2017… often the overheat light comes on if you stay in it over 4 minutes, other bathroom has a good one but I can almost fall out of bed and into this one, the other is down away by the living room….

    Weeding in the garden when you put down your trowel with a green handle in a bed full of green leaves.

    Who the fcuk designs this stuff!

    So I've now got to go and find some red tape to put on the handle to save me wasting more time than necessary looking for it.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Cylists bombing down pedestrianised streets. I nearly got clipped by two (different) dopes on Grafton St and South King St earlier. And they weren't even food delivery ones.

    Rainfall showers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,471 ✭✭✭✭RMAOK


    People who use 2 hand dryers to dry their hands in public toilets. Especially, if it's busy and the dryers are in short supply.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭The Continental Op


    I often try that when I'm the only one there, but often thwarted when only one drier works :-(

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,681 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I'm still trying to figure out how this works.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 151 ✭✭Duke of Schomberg


    Just enjoyed business stays at the Maldron Coprk, Maldron Parnell Square, and Holiday Inn Belfast - tourists who put cooked breakfast items, fruit, and pastries all on the same plate, and then try to eat it all with a knife and fork . . . and having piled their plate HIGH end up leaving most of it uneaten (actually, to a certain extent I'm pleased they do, because I don't have to listen to or watch as they noisily shomp and slurp their way through breakfast with an open mouth). Animals, and selfish ignorant animals at that. These clowns seem to be everywhere - CIE Tours International should have a vetting policy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭kowloonkev


    One is Ireland and one is Northern Ireland. I don't see the ambiguity.

    Bought a punnet of raspberries and blueberries yesterday. Just opened them and there’s already a mouldy one in each.

    The wall mounted fan driers in mens toilets are often mounted side by side a foot or so apart. You put your hands under them for them them to start. The heat from them is often pathetic so I will often put one hand under one and another under the next one along.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭The Continental Op


    In what context? Politically, financially, for postal deliveries or geographically?

    My TA is having to explain to people that are posting stuff to me in Waterford that Ireland when written in the address means the SOUTH - Eire and not the North.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,988 ✭✭✭its_steve116


    Geographically, at least.

    My definition of Ireland is an island west of Great Britain consisting of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

    I used to scoff when I heard motorists moan about cyclists. Then they started pulling this crap. There are cycle lanes near my place of work and the arseholes still insist on tearing down the footpaths. Don't even start me on the Dutch variant.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
