    There's a group of 5 lads, aged about 9, running around outside my house shouting their high-pitched shrieky, excitable little heads off. Giving me a headache and freaking out my foster kitten. Bloody kids enjoying themselves, bloody cheek I tells ya. I blame the parents:)

    Kids are like farts, you can just about handle your own.

    One of the many reasons I love the winter. It's too dark and cold for the feckers to annoy people outside by the time they finish school.

    When you go to the jax and a little "hanger on" is there and you dont realise it and end up spreading it halfway up your back :(

    You GO TOO FAR!

    Top Tip - always keep a packet of baby-wipes in the jax, for such an occasion.

    It's funny that everyone always says 087... My own number has been 086 since I first got a phone but when I'm filling in those forms I always use 087 1234567!

    It gets worse the longer you have it, I'm convinced.
    I'm googling resolutions but can't get it into safe mode to start.

    A house near me, the owners have an infra-red/PIR sensor light, fair enough, but on a ridiculous setting.

    You'd walk by, maybe 15 feet from the beginning of their driveway and the fcking thing still switches on.

    snobby paranoid w4nkers.


    oooh nooo the proletariat are within walking distance of my mansion intending to steal from my success.

    w4nkers.

    I'm having the same problem. The F8 key doesn't work anymore. :mad: I just leave the computer on standby now so it doesn't have to boot.

    Would an external keyboard solve this issue?

    -Irish people using "movie" instead of "film".

    - Parents letting their children roam free and noisily in public places

    From my observations a lot of men seem incapable of hugging without similtaneously patting each other on the back!

    Drives me insane! Why people bring kids to pubs when they know they will be insanely bored baffles me! I also will never understand why parents bring their kids to "nice" restaurants late at night. I was in a "nice" restaurant in Dublin a few months ago for a work dinner, and there were 2 tables with toddlers sitting at them who spent the entire meal screaming :confused: Seems an awful waste of a meal to me. Just bring them to a bistro type eatery where they have a kids menu.

    'woman up' as an alternative to man up

    yes I can see women might not like telling other women or themselves to 'man up' but woman up just makes you sound like the kind of moron who uses womyn and herstory in every day writing. get creative!

    There's no right setting for my windscreen wipers for most rain. The first is a little too infrequent - there is about a second that I am waiting for it to clear. Go to the next setting, it's fuucking on speed.

    Either one is f*cking ridiculous anyway. Only a tool would tell someone to man up, and I would headbutt someone in the face for saying it to me and then ask them if that was manly enough for them ;)

    I hear you on that, You go to all the bother of getting a babysitter, head out for your nice romantic meal......and there are two screaming kids beside you, and the parents seem to think this is just dandy. because little Cassandra and Oliver have to have a fine dining experience......screw that, take them to MacD's, less hassle.

    I am just off for a quick vomit, just heard a woman on the radio, talking about "orgasmic birth", (talk about having it both ways)...its 10am FFS!!!!!!!!!!!

    That drives me bananas. Any time anyone does that to me I give out and make them re-hug without the patting.

    Kids should never be brought to the pub. Only slightly possible exception to this is when there's a match on before bedtime.

    Kids menu annoys me. Everything on it is usually deep fried.
    should just be a smaller portion from the regular menu.
