If another person mentions "putting a shrimp on the BBQ" in an aussie accent, I will poke them in the nutsack with a fork.

Having said that, hangover is gone, I will fire up the BBQ, have some ahem, refreshments, and maybe a ration of passion (Mrs E is away again).............

Speaking of nutsacs and rations of passion, I was walking through the city there and there was a young couple going at it hammer and tongs in full view of everyone in the park!

I wasn't sure if I was mildly bemused or quite frankly disgusted at them hopping off each other like a pair of dogs in heat!

I'mma just go with *blech*.

Outdoor sex is one thing, exhibitionism is quite something else entirely!

Sounds like they could be one and the same Elmo, I know round Dublin they have 'Spin' anyway. I prefer to listen to Lyric FM myself, being a crony old bastard 'n' all :pac:

Dirty toilets. I was in Arthurs Quay shopping centre yesterday and went up to the ladies toilets. 3 young wans came out and the stench of stale BO from them would fell and elephant, someone really should outlaw synthetic fibres, especially on skangers, which these 3 very obviously were.

The stench of BO hung heavily in the air, 3 of the toilets were blocked with toilet roll(probably the skangers), the sprinklers were covered in cobwebs and gunge. Basically the toilets were disgusting. My stomach turned over with the stench of sweat and it's just as well I hadn't eaten since the toilets were blocked.

I ended up waiting until I got to the hospital to use a toilet. Arthurs Quay need to take note and get their facilities sorted out, they are taking the proverbial expecting people to pay 20 cent to use toilets like that:mad:

The current Cuisine de France advert on RTE. The guy's French accent is ATROCIOUS : he's pronouncing words like "recipe" and "chocolate" in a way no Frenchman would ever do. It almost sounds like a parody as he drifts between a supposed French accent and an Irish one.

Just watched the wolverine. Lots of Japanese dialog with no subtitles. I dont mind the odd scene but the film put most of the scenes with 2 Japanese people talking and you only learnt what they were saying if wolverine asked a bilingual person what they said. Thankfully my girlfriend could translate some words of it.

Not good enough at all. Some people are so disgusting, the state they leave toilets in. I'd hate to see their homes.
I would bring this to the attention of the shopping centre management. If they are charging, especially, they should be ensuring that the toilets are clean.

Spin 103.8

He still does that

Hi I'm Rory, here's the story.

Every single person on that station has an annoying voice, laugh or habit that makes me so angry!!

My trivial annoyance. When radio presenters pretend to smile on the radio. You can hear that they're smiling( I don't know) but its fake because they don't give a f*ck that you're hungover.

I'm so angry just thinking about it. RAGE!!!!!!!!

Old ladies at a till who have paid for their shopping then start their lottery procedure, can take up to another 5 minutes between checking lotto ticket, retrieving purse, choosing another lottery ticket, paying and repeat some of the above

Bells. They've been going on for nearly an hour now. Is that really necessary!? Sure the people going to church know when they have to be there. No need to wreck other citizens heads

The tape is prob on a some loop, prob have to force "an expected reboot? You see the driver hooks the function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in there and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory."

1: the fact that the 'most popular' section of the BBC's homepage has stories more than 10 years old on it sometimes.

2: the fact that I contacted the BBC and asked them to add dates to the stories so people would know how old they were, and they said no.

I used a public toilet in Bruges last summer, two people workings there. One to take money and the other inspected each toilet after use, cleaning if necessary. A pleasure to use and happy to pay for nice clean bogs.

1. Neon clothing, why is there so much of it everywhere? It's ugly and synthetic and it stinks of BO since most of it seems to be worn by skanks with a fear of personal hygiene. So much of it is orange for some reason, orange is not a good colour for anyone.

2. Feeding kids junk food. Now I'm not against giving kids treats but some parents really need to get a grip. I was at the hospital last week and a mother, I'd say she was easily about 22 stone, gave her child who was about 7 a bar of chocolate. That's fine it was a hospital, but then the child came back from the vending machine with a bottle of Lucozade

The mother asked her why she didn't get 7up, Jesus why not tell her to get a bottle of water? The child is slim but not for long at that rate.

1. Easy Wash and No wash, or shower wash
this is my new look

2. The child has more sense everyone knows Lucozade sponsor Hospitals, 7up lost that battle after thousands of Irish Children were getting fing 7up every time when they were sick.

You roll over in the bed thinking "wow, this was a decent sleep!" and glance at the alarm clock. Then the shock arrives! What!? 1pm!?!? How the hell did that happen!? Half a day gone dammit! Hold on, it's a work day. [insert dramatic music] Nobody called from work!? My god, nobody even gives a sh1t whether I'm alive or not!? Why did NOBODY call me!?:eek: The bastards!:mad: *the panic settles in, pulse is through the roof* Shiiiit, I have a phone on silence! *nearly falls off the bed, grabs the phone expecting to see a shower of threatening message from boss, colleagues, family members, friends, doctors, neighbours, unknown children and probably the big headed aliens too* and there it is, big fat 7:07!! WTF!? *eyes wide open, finally. Grabs the alarm clock and stares - yep, 7:07 am. Falls back onto the pillow with the clock in hand, czechlin, you eejit, it was the minute hand not the hour hand!*

So I woke up at 7.05, 10 minutes before my alarm went off and nearly gave myself a heart attack, the longest 2 minutes of inner horror and confusion. Yep, clearly a morning lover...:pac:

Referring to yourself in the third person! Will I tell you who gets annoyed by it? Ratmouse, that's who!

The word "austerity".

Bagged salad that doesn't last very long.

I buy a bag of mixed leaves every Thursday (one week it could be watercress/spinach/rocket..the next week it could be crunchy mixed leaves with grated carrot; it varies).

We eat a lot of salad and I open the bag probably on Friday for lunch.

Saturday we have some salad with our dinner.
Sunday we have a bit more.

By Monday it's looking a bit wilted and a bit moist so I tentatively chop off the not-so-fresh-looking-bits and use it.

By Tuesday it's fit for the bin so I go and buy more.

We eat some more and then on Thursday I buy more.
But now we've got opened salad AND a new bag in the fridge that says it expires in three days.

I can't catch up with the stuff! It doesn't last very long!
If I buy too much it'll go off. I can only eat so much.
Ffs.

Oh and I hate when Tesco stocks those bags of mixed peppers and you find all they have are red and yellow mix.
Or worse..orange and yellow,

I WANT THE RED AND GREEN..STOP CHANGING THEM EVERY WEEK! NOBODY LIKES THE ORANGE AND YELLOW ONES!!!!!!

You really ARE a fussy onion

Me I like all the colors except the green ones as they're too bitter or dry or something for my taste (they leave a kind of a bitter aftertaste like sloe berries).

But anyway, when they only have the three pack peppers with a green one in them, and the loose green peppers, and all the loose yellow and red ones are gone, I just tear open a three pack, the green pepper in the loose green peppers basket, and put the red and yellows in one of the plastic bags

In my local shopping centre also, the toilets are kept very clean, they are free of charge. There is always someone around, ensuring that they are kept in good condition.

@fussyonion
Did you see the new salad leaves in Tesco...two smaller bags joined together..i bought them and theyre lovely as i was having the same probs as you..was constantly dumping half a bag every week.

Only the yellow and red peppers get eaten here

Bought the mixed bag in Tesco this week 3 red 1 yellow..small but nice and hard;)
