Oh and smokers who would smoke like 4 cigarettes in an hour. I smoke, but having more than 1 per hour or 2 is just pointless and such (an even bigger) waste of money.

Fish Chowder.

If I see it on the menu then I don't go in because I always end up getting stuck sitting at a table beside a whole family of fish chowder loving mofo's :mad:

I don't get why people can't just accept the things other people are into.

I see nothing wrong with people in their 30's playing video games as someone mentioned earlier. If thats what they want to do then let them, its no more wrong than the person that likes to play golf in their 30's. (My mother is in her 40's and has plays ps3 and so does my dad occasionaly) Whats wrong with that?

I see nothing wrong with the person who listens to death metal or trance or any other genre. I may personally not enjoy the genre myself but Im not going to ridicule the person who does because its their own choice.

There's nothing wrong with people who have extremely odd fetishes, because to be honest most of us do and its kept a secret. Some of us are into pretty crazy things. I hate this ****e of people who would ridicule the hell out of someone and cut off ties or whatever just because they're into something odd in their private time. It was none of their business in the first place and they're probably just hypocrites because they have a secret they consider just as bad.

Im probably contradicting myself somewhere along the line here but there are just certain area's of life that I feel people shouldn't feel the need to see something wrong with. Such fúcking trivial things most of the time too

No not if you neglect Irish clubs over them. It's ok to support any teams obviously but dont call them Irish and neglect your real clubs. We have had shop local and but Irish campaigns for years well same should go for football to protect it.

Protectionism rarely works, especially in cases involving misguided patriotism. Why should anyone spend money on an inferior product just because of where it was made?

Oh and to make matters confusing I'll also argue the case against people spending money on English/Scottish/Spanish clubs.

Da Shins Kelly · 26-08-2011 01:42AM

I don't get why there are people who are over the age of 15 who still read books like Twilight (I know a few people like this). I really thought that was something most people grew out of, but seemingly it's not. Don't get why there are adults that it appeals to at all.

Well it depends on the person really doesn't it. Some people have a heavier dependency on nicotine than others.

Knew three people at different times sent to boarding school less than 30 mins away from home. I suppose some parents don't like their children, maybe some of them are convinced it'll make their children acheive more. Then there's always the one old fellah who loves telling everyone how hard it was in some boarding school back in the day and how they're all the better for it.

I know, there were these kids near me who went to boarding school and when they were home on their holidays their parents used to always make them work in the family shop. I could never in a million years send my child to boarding school.

I didn't say I don't accept it. I just don't understand it. If that's what they like, fair enough. I personally don't like it. Sure if we all liked the same thing the world would be very dull.

For some people sure but this thing of having 2 cigs now before i get on the bus just incase...like it makes a difference. You've had a hit, 1 is enough.

I have a friend who has 2 smokes before he leaves the house in the morning, 1 at the bus stop and another on the short walk to where he works....and then another shortly after he gets there. But is grand on long bus/train/plane trips.

Just smoking for the sake of it not because of craving, that's what I don't get.

It's like eating when not hungry, makes no sense to me.

I don't understand the ignorance of this thread. Surely you can understand why certain TV shows or genres of music appeal to people?

I dislike the X factor because every week there is a sob story followed by a judge asking "what does it mean for you to be here performing today"... "it's been my dream ever since <insert a time in a persons life e.g. little girl> and I can't believe that I'm really here". Other times a mental patient comes out on stage and is one of two things : mental or really good. Mental ones are laughed at through the entirety of their performance and the good ones are laughed at initially followed by 55 different angles of the judges doing this

(in before just don't watch it, I usually don't but if I'm in the house when it's on I am usually in the sitting room.... and thus have to endure it even if not paying attention playing around on laptop and the likes).

Also hate american shows like super sweet 16 and 16 and pregnant. The voices/whining wrecks me buzz. "oh my god my party is ruined that's a phucking lambo not the pink ferrari waaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

True but if people don't support it it won't grow and become a better product. I am probably least patriotic person on the planet but when it comes to football my team is the one in the area I grew up in and that won't change unless they go out of existence and I will still whitter on about the cup final of 2010 and our promotion heartbreak coz my club are not just some team I watch on the telly or make a few trips to each year, my club is a community of like minded people, standing in rain and snow with hearts thumping at every kick of the ball at home games and travelling to Cork or wexford or ballybofey or athlone by driving or on a bus where we laugh so much we are sore before cheering and singing ourselves hoarse.

It's not just football its a way of life.

Depends on if you're talking about the old school U.K dubstep that spawned from garage or this Skrillex sh!te. The shuffled beats of old school dubstep are amazing.

It's not the same then. I stroll over to my club and help out in the bar on match days, sell tickets for draws, help decide what jersey we will wear each season, organise fundraisers. Why? Coz its part of my community not some random team I chose when I was 8 years old coz they were winning things or coz my family support them. I like Liverpool but I love Monaghan United.

So you can only love a small club where you have to be able to have hands on involvement in how that club is run?

No but its great to participate in your club and have some ownership rather than watch from afar. Nothing compares to being there in the flesh for the highs and the lows and also knowing its a club you help sustain.

Why are you so passionate about your local club, is it because your family are?
Communities are brilliant and it's great to be involved but it's not for everyone.
I support man utd but have no interest in local clubs.

Yes If there are fundraiser etc I will buy the tickets.
