No, you did not "seen" something. The proper word is "saw" or "have seen".

I seen what you done there...

RTE news showing non news stories. I mean come on, is a bunch of students in Galway having a Harry Potter fest really news? No it is not.

Came across something really trivial and annoying last week and said to myself 'Oh, that would be great for the annoying trivial thread, i'll get all the thanks'

and now I can't remember it but it's on the tip of my tongue, now that's annoying!

Have you thought of it yet?

It makes me feel very old when I'm the only one in company who remembers when a 'Gotchie' kept 'sketch'.
Anyone?

Jaysus! I haven't heard sketch used in that context since I was a kid, running from apple orchards with the front of my jumper curled up to act like a basket for the apples...

Ye couldn't have a fag in the jacks in school at breaktime without 3 people keeping sketch.
One on the door to relay the nod received from either the one keeping sketch on the hallway or
the one keeping sketch on the teachers room.

You remember the Gotchie? He was the Watchman. Usually an un-employable local alcoholic, who would probably have a heart attack if he woke up and tried tho catch anyone.

Now, Google are the new Gotchie. And you can be identified by the Loyalty Club card number on the Supermarket receipt in your bin

I don't know are you old enough to remember the Fanta Roadshow in the early 90's, but a couple of us were in a hotel and we'd all done our cringeworthy piece to camera...

Me: I want to be a math teacher when I grow up.

Andy Ruane (from behind the camera): Are you sure? You don't want to be a famous footballer or something?

Me: No.

But there was myself and another chap and we decided to go for a smoke in the toilets. We were supposed to take turns keeping watch for anyone coming. Next thing, in walks my mother, and I'd no idea where the other fella was gone. Snakey little bollix couldn't wait five minutes and was puffing away in the next cubicle! :mad:

I was dragged out by the ear and told I wasn't going to the disco afterwards, told go straight to my bedroom. I snuck out the bedroom window, ran into town, had a ball at the disco, made it worth my while because I knew the bolliking I was in for when I got home! :pac:

Was the fanta roadshow before or after the 'beat on the street'?

Andy Ruane...fooking hell..stragly long hair and big glasses.

I remember getting caught in the school jacks smoking one day with a mate.
Similar thing happened the person keeping sketch got caught keeping sketch and couldn't give us the heads up.
Both of us got 3 days suspension for it even thought the teacher didn't actually see me. Honest to god this is what he said... 'two little fishies caught in the net'.

Katie Hopkins. Apparently she is on the Late Late tonight.

Snickering away to myself here

But yeah, I do remember the 7UP beat on the street alright, yeah just asked my wife there, she's great for this stuff, was it Barry Lang, Aidan Leonard, Ian Dempsey and a few others used DJ at it?

Andy Ruane though was like a jet ball on acid, honestly he must have been knocking back fanta by the barrel load he'd so much energy! :pac:

Trivial thing that annoys me - there's none of that craic or having a laugh nowadays, it's all "dry rooms at the Wezz" for kids that can't hold their liquor... :rolleyes:

Tubridy will have to keep a pack of washlets nearby to wipe her mouth every few minutes.

Looking at the ways ads have gone , especially anything to do with hygiene, its only a matter of time before we actually see someone wiping their ass and comparing product A to product B, and showing the results:D

Close enough eisenberg, just showed an advert there on TV3 for...

Premature ejaculation!

I mean, come onnn, I'm fairly easy going and I'd tolerate a lot, but adverts for arse wipes, sex toys, "feminine wash for your intimate area", thrush creams, tampons, pads, condoms and now, premature ejaculation...

Jesus! I'm drafting a letter to the ASAI because I really can't listen to a guy any more telling me how this brand of arse wipes are "a game changer".

Nobody sits around in a coffee house discussing how they "feel fresh" after going for a crap! I think that might just make it qualify for false advertising, right?

Turtyturd · 31-01-2014 11:44PM

Drivers who go out of their way to make it awkward for people to cross the road. At traffic lights they pull right up and stop in between both sets of lights, so rather than just walk in a straight line across the street people have to walk around the car. It's even more annoying when they are the second car at the lights and they pull right up to the bumper of the first car just to prevent people crossing in between the cars.

Junkies running to get their methadone in Dublin city centre if they're late for the drug clinic , .like zombies after getting an electric shock

bohsboy · 01-02-2014 01:21AM

Junkies full stop.

dubscottie · 01-02-2014 08:34AM

People that "woop" at new tech stuff and spend silly money buying it just to find it is useless 2 days later. It has been here for years folks..

The backward step the human race took when Concorde and the space shuttle were grounded. Sure we have tablets etc but what happened to the "go faster, go higher" attitude the human race once had?

That is a small thing that gets right on my pisser.

(scottish for some thing trivial that annoys me)

Adverts with banjos playing.. Cyclists and lots of little trivial stuff. I am only 30 an turning into Victor Meldrew!
Auto correct also,

The people that burn waste in the fireplace.. Tis like the Vatican with the white and black smoke out the chimney, and it stinks so stop!

The gob****es that keep parking outside my drive.. Its a motorbike.. Not a peace of thread, though you would think so going by the amount of space you leave.

Feckers that don't crush stuff before putting it in the green bin.

People that can't walk in a straight line..

People trying to walk and talk.. You could be on Mars as you have no idea what is going on around you here on Earth..

And dogs. If you are going to buy one, don't leave it in your back garden all day yelping. and don't let it **** outside my gate..

I think that is it for now..

Chuggers.. Another thing that gets my goat..

I'm no prude, Hell I can remember the religious nut jobs zealots, holding vigils to protest the opening of the sex shop in Limerick back in the day. But Jesus I don't need to see an ad with a couple saying where they buy all their sex toys from and that washlet ad what in the name of all that is holy is that about? Toilet roll's not good enough now apparently, how have we all managed until now?

Ha, just got a flashback there, I remember my son, when he was about four, belting out the song from the "bodyform" ad, at the top of his voice.....................and my Ma in law cringing at the table.

Somebody did that in a thread the other day, actually here it is -

Taking a man day

I was still trying to catch my breath five minutes later I was laughing so hard!

There are definitely some genuinely funny people on Boards, then there are those posters who just think they're funny, but who everyone else just thinks are annoying...

Unfortunately there's far too much of the latter than the former.
