    Am I just in a bad mood, or has Dublin city centre and it's surroundings just become a complete and utter sh_t hole from top to bottom?

    More than a trivial annoyance.

    Politicians, when elected, being hoisted (in most cases with great difficulty) shoulder high and getting jigged up and down, like teenagers after winning a local hurling match...................makes them like worse idiots(more so than usual). So undignified.

    Yes! Cannot stand this! It has got to stop, it looks so idiotic.

    Unsupervised kids in supermarkets. There were 2 in Dunnes this morning swinging each other around and around at the checkouts. Where were the parents? Who fricking knows, there weren't any adults even glancing in their direction and it's only going to get worse once the Summer holidays start:mad:

    Riiiiiight. I just say "news" but not "newes" which is how you'd have me say it.

    I have to take a stand on this one. It's most definitely not "nooz." Say "new" and then say it with an S on the end. That's it.

    Blackbirds. I hate blackbirds.

    Their continuous squaking and chirping seriously grates my ears but worse still, the never shut up from sunrise to sunset. And eat my strawberries in the summer. And constantly flap everywhere when I open my door.

    Why can't they be quiet like the songbirds/pigeons/crows/jackdaws or other nicer birds we have here?

    I hate the little pests :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I used to live beside "The Supremes" and they were all lovely, but don't start me about that Naomi Cambell:D

    Celebrity news and gossip drives me mad at the best of times, but what really annoys me is the merging of names of celebrity couples. Whatever about Brangelina and Bay Z having a certain ring to them, apparently Kanye West and Kim Kardashian go by the name Kimye. I mean come on ffs. Must. Try. Harder.

    Dangerous little bastards they are! I was hardly off the train in Heuston Station one morning when a pigeon smacked me right on the side of the head! Clearly wasn't looking where he was going! :mad:

    Some fecker is whistling on the bus! One of those awful tuneless whistles that sounds like the lungs of someone dying from TB.

    I bet it's the driver, up there in his little cage! Gah!!

    Speaking of birds, a big crow has recently started running into our patio door continuously early in the morning.

    The little fecker has set the house alarm off a number of times and scared the bejaysus out of me the first time I heard him because it sounded like someone knocking on the door. :(

    Why is there always somebody who sings along to the radio in the doctors waiting room and why do they always have such a crap radio station on there:confused:

    Two nights in a row I dreamt about Budweiser. I don't know why. I don't drink that stuff. Once it was in a pub and the bartender insisted on me having it and the second time it was my friend in her house. MY OWN FRIEND, one of the closest friends, she took a can out of the fridge and poured and gave it to me. Sure she should have known better! I'm slightly irritated by this but I am not going to hold this against her... :pac:

    People who hang toilet roll the WRONG WAY AROUND...................(!)

    When you pull it, it must roll from the top down in front of you, NOT from the rear of the roll and underneath.

    I always change the rolls when I see this - hotels, restaurants, friends houses, offices, hospitals etc etc. I cant help myself.

    I need to let I go I know....

    I hate having to wait around for things. I'd planned to get some shopping and collect a print out of my blood test results from the doctor this morning and be back before lunchtime in case I miss the postman with the cat food delivery.

    Phoned the receptionist to see if the results were back and ask for a copy but now I can't have them until the nurse checks them and phones me this afternoon, so I have a wasted morning. I want the results to take to the hospital later this week and if there was something wrong I presume my gp would phone me to come in to see him. Bloody stupid proceedure.

    Do you know what gets right up my left nostril? People on tills in shops who are trained to give you your receipt and your change in one "pile" with one hand. This forces me to put down both the pile and whatever else I have in my hand (such as the stuff I've just bought) so I can re-arrange and/or un-crumple the notes/coins properly and put them in my wallet, and then either dispose of the receipt or put it away elsewhere. And yes, I know this is probably a bit Rain Man but it does rather drive me properly batshít. :pac:
