    When Im on a plane and the air pressure is encouraging me to fart and from experience you know its only air in your system because of the pressure so you let one out into the foam of the seat and around 10 seconds later you get the horrible notion that maybe it was not scentless and has become even more airborne than the plane and because of the close quarters quickly infects all of those around you.

    You try to join in on the upset of the fellow passengers at somebodys ill will towards you but the CRINGE on your face lets them all know it was you. :mad:

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Agreed (on the moist, not necessarily the prude) and also the word Mucous.
    Disgusting.

    when all the girls in my year pretend to be drunk then comes the singing and then the "passing out"

    Andrew Maxwell's attempts at being funny on the panel. It looks to me like his fellow panelists are often cringing at him too. Same goes for some of the guests trying to be funny. Ahhhh, where's the remote???

    Pat Kenny fawning over his interviewees.

    Dave Fanning fawning over his interviewees.

    Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh doing almost anything.

    Enda Kenny, most of the time, though he's looking a tiny bit better these days, admittedly. But, ugh.

    Dustin, a lot of the time these days. Time for him to get stuffed, methinks!

    The Irish national teams losing to crap opposition.

    Ireland's Got Talent.

    Eddie Hobbs stating the bleedin' obvious like it was the third secret of Fatima.

    Ronan O'Gara bottling it against England.

    And one for the future: if we lose to Wales next week in the rugby!
