    Yup, you never know what it will be - a sofa, a set of skis, a blender. All modelled by some clean-living, white-teethed fuuckers borrowed from the Kinder adds....as I run past with bottles of wine and slabs of cheese :pac::pac:

    Happened to need food last Friday night around half eight, found myself at the ****e in the middle looking at a plastic frying pan splash guard and a pair of binoculars when I suddenly felt like "it's Friday night , has it come to this " and got the f*** out of there .

    Putting on a garlic bread roll, touch it for 2 seconds, and BAM, garlic hands, no matter how much you wash them.

    I get the same problem with Roast Chicken flavoured Walkers. Lasts for days it does.

    Right at this very moment it's Transformers revenge of the fallen. My husband is laughing at the Baywatch way that they've got Megan Fox's boobs jiggling while she runs. Not jealous of her, *not much, but it's a guy film.

    Wash your hands with lemon juice.

    Works like a charm. (Thats coming from the past 5 years working in a kitchen)

    When your inside in the cinema and your buddy turns to you, while watching the film, "Did you see that?". Nah, I just forked out 12 euro to come to the cinema and stare at the ****ing ceiling.

    Grown men and women who post a picture online of an alcoholic drink they're about to have, with a caption of 'It would be rude not to' or 'Ah sure why not?'

    I understand young teenagers doing it because they think they're great drinking but adults? Cringe thinking of someone sitting there in a pub taking a picture of a pint.

    Overly proud parents who constantly post pictures of their kids on Facebook! I don't have a child but if i did i certainly would not be splashing him/her all over Facebook! Nobody bar maybe you (the parent) or perhaps the child's grandparents give a monkeys what your kid is up to unless he has done something no other child has ever done before (went to the moon, wrestled a bear etc)! Even your friends who pretend to be interested really aren't! It's like spam on the newsfeed, millions of pictures of this one baby (they all look the same) in different outfits all day everyday... fuck off!

    From the minute they get the slightest spike of the pregnancy hormone hcg, these breeder couples just go psychotic , the partner seems to absorb the same hormone from herself ( maybe fru' skin contact or somefink) , and theyre never the same again , once they're infected with the hormone , there's no cure !, it could happen to you some day , it's like being bitten by a zombie , you'll turn into one of them .

    No way... if that happens to me i'll end up resenting myself! I also deactivated my account a while back with no intention of reactivating it any time soon so i should be ok! Hopefully Facebook has fades into obscurity before i end up with sprogs!

    Only being able to find a book I really want at one source, it being a poor condition used copy and it being €60.
    I want my books new and shiny :(


    it annoys me even more that I can get it on an ereader for €10 instantly. Stop trying to push it on me, I will never cave, it's just not the same, and yes I've tried.

    I like reading old weathered books! It's nice to know that many others have taken and interest and read the exact same words as you have!

    Yeah, but I'm not going to pay €60 for that privilege!

    When I'm watching a film with a battle scene where one side charges at the other.

    As they charge, the other side fires bullets/arrows and we see shots of those on the charging side falling all over the place. Then another volley is fired, and a whole load more fall over.

    But yet when the charging side finally arrives at the side firing the bullets/arrows, the number of them makes it look like hardly anybody was hit during the charge.

    I too love to pick up second hand books to read, hate the likes of tablets and e-readers and I love giving books away to people, but when it comes to textbooks for college or courses, some of the books can cost €100 a piece, and I keep those in mint condition, so I hate it when I need a book and someone tries to pawn off their tatty, scribbled on, dog eared efforts!

    Books should be treated with respect :(

    THANK YOU for posting this!

    I have Facebook friends who have become parents recently and of course I understand they're happy and besotted, etc, and that they want to show their babies off.
    FINE, I get that...let me see a picture or two.

    But oh my God, are you that self-absorbed that you think all your friends are THAT interested in seeing a picture of your baby every hour?
    "Here's little TJ in the bath!" (14 likes)
    "Here's little TJ on his first day outside!" (20 likes)

    The people "Liking" your status only feel they HAVE to.

    I GET you're happy, FINE, but we do not have an interest in your child.
    I am not a parent but I daresay if I ever am, I will NOT be plastering my child's face all over Facebook; for safety issues if nothing else.
    I don't expect everyone to be interested.

    I have defriended three friends in the past over their incessant baby-photo sharing tendencies.
    Keep your baby to yourself and bore off!
    You're not the only one to have kids!

    Currently have friend on Facebook who is four months pregnant and is updating everyone on the movements of her unborn child.
    WHO CARES?!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The worst thing is the "We are pregnant" crowd!! Sweet screaming Jesus, WTF is that about?

    And people who want to show a video of the birth!! I am repeating myself here, but If I you want to show me a video related to this, its the conception I want to see................

    Is it nice to know that many others probably had it in their hands while they took a sh*t, too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69

    Being an avid fan of reading while having a dump Id be a hypocrite to begrudge anyone else the same pleasure!

    You don't need to begrudge anyone anything. Just.... some hygiene awareness... be grand.
