    People who demolish gardens:mad: A fairly recent neighbour of ours just cut down two fabulous trees in his back yard, dick head. They were the nicest trees in the neighbourhood, they'll probably pave over it with concrete or put decking there. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have gardens. I don't care that it's his garden either:p


    did he have a felling order...it is illegal to cut down trees unless they are eg too near the house...just a thought...;)

    Is it to do with lent? I know that in the good old catholic God fearing days, pancake Tuesday was because for the whole of lent they weren't supposed to have dairy so used up the last of it making pancakes the day before Ash Wednesday. On Easter sunday they were allowed dairy again so they decorated eggs. As people's standard of living increased and companies saw a whole in the market to make sh!t loads of money, the chocolate egg came about just like how Coca Cola came along and made St Nick red.

    Gossip Girl the tv show.

    I don't normally like anything like this, this is no exception. I hate it, but can't stop watching all the rich beautiful people with terrible acting skills.

    My OHs housemate was watching it months ago, and she's 30, so I figured it can't be too bad. I got hooked.

    Send help, I'm an Easter egg down, still in my PJs and have the second series downloading.

    Wrong Grace. The wildlife act1980, and subsequent, does not apply to private dwellings. They also do not apply if residential hedging.

    People who use self service machines at tesco and encounter a problem within seconds.

    Please, its not the machine, its you. Learn how to use them or else use the conventional checkout.

    Some woman trying to do her weekly shop on the bloody thing the other day.

    Slowly examining every product for a barcode, scanning as if she's six years old and gets to play "check out", halfway through, places handbag in bagging area, then fcuks up whole process.

    Arrive at checkout, press "brought own bag", place bag open, scan and pack, pay, bag already packed so you're not spending eternity packing goods after.

    And some ppl have the cheek to get upset at these machines when clearly they've created their own problem.

    And perhaps this is something trivial ppl will hate about me, but I love zooming up, scanning, and be done. Sorry for being an ar*ehole, but all I want to buy is a 27cent banana ffs!:p

    Shifty-eyed shop staff.

    I'm not going to steal. I earn more than you, and looking at your prices (Arnotts) you are the ones trying to rob me.

    The security guard in our Lidl. He looks at you like you're in to rob one of the lovlies out of the center aisle bins. I know the poor fcuker is bored stupid but I always laugh a bit. I can wander into the main DC for Lidl and chunter around fixing stuff, surrounded by mile after mile of stock and somehow resist the temptation, but fcuk me sonny, these plastic slippers, by jasus I've an awful gra to slip a pair up me jumper and do a runner.

    I didn't think dairy was off limits, I'm fairly sure that the ingredients for pancakes were just generally used for deserts and cakes and such and you'll be having none of that for Lent.

    Barry Egan's sycophantic columns. He is at it again recently re
    bankrupt developer, Bernard McNamara, who, apparently, is about to become a grandad for the first time. A happy event, no doubt,
    but the tone of the article is brown nosing in the extreme!! :(

    When your interested in a particular subject (so much so you'd be considered a bit of an anorak) and you know that journalists have pretty much lifted a press release and have failed to ask important questions or even ask a question.

    Or when a Interviewer asks a question when it has already been answered by the interviewee.

    Interviewer: You have been working in this area for a number of years...
    Interviewee: Yes I been working in the industry for 20 years I was just 15 when I started
    Interviewer: Wow what age where you then?

    I gave up on trying to read the Sunday Independent a long time ago, the standard of 'journalism' in it is abysmal, in my opinion.
    He is one of the worst, I used to wonder what would become of him if some of the people he follows around, ever left the country.

    I accidentally shoplifted a jar of strawberry jam from Lidl a few years ago. I'd been shopping elsewhere and it fell down behind other shopping bags. I'm fortunate the security guard wasn't on the ball that day. It would have been mortifying.

    Some of these shop security guards could use a lesson in manners. I remember one day we were in Dunnes, there was a young muslim couple with a child doing their shopping and he insisted on searching their bags, due to his aggressive attitude they were reluctant to let him. Long story short they let him, he found nothing and I don't know what the point of it was.

    He'd follow them. That's what lap dogs do.
