Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

People who jump up out of their seats while the plane is still coming to a stop. The kn*bs have to then stand for ten minutes with their heads twisted at weird angles because they can't get into the aisle. Hah.

These people are genuine morons. Neck-twisting tubes in an enclosed tube.

There was a time, when if you had to make a phone call, you had to hunt down a call box, which had a working phone, make sure nobody had just had a p1ss in it, make sure you had the correct coinage.....and then you could make the call.

The way RTE commentators are incapable of pronouncing the names of Brazilian players. Maybe because the OH is Brazilian, I notice it more but seriously guys take a ten minute lesson on Portuguese pronounciation if you know you will be talking about these players on tv.

Any foreign players. I know some names can be serious tongue twisters but for crying out loud it's their job! :mad:

I have a friend who is a professional patient at this stage and all she does is constantly post memes on her facebook page about her undiagnosable chronic pain illness. I reckon a good place for her to start would be to try kicking her absolutely prodigious Solpadeine habit.

You don't want to be defined by your illness? Stop posting fúcking memes about it every fúcking day…

I had one of those on Fb too, can't remember what she had. Some female issue anyway. Her fb page was actually a shrine to the disease...

George Hamiltons ability to get ever single players name wrong during a World Cup game. For instance he called Glen Johnson, Gary Cahill and then two minutes later called him Phil Jagielka, how does Glen Johnson look remotely like either one of them.

It's only your job George but hey who cares w*nker.

"McCanns still believe Maddie is alive despite fruitless search"

This headline makes no sense. If the search was 'fruitless' then it's all the more reason to think that she is alive and not the opposite.

Had they found a body then surely even Gerry and Kate would have stopped believing!

Bloody junior cert journalism.

Heh, reminds me - people who never press the "end call" button on their phones after a conversation. I use my phone as my music player and it also means I don't have to stop up when taking a call, but the music doesn't start playing again while there's that few seconds of listening to "... you'll never guess what that wanker wants me to do now!", I eventually hang up... :pac:

These things. So much

Tracksuits - it was as easy to put on jeans. If you're not going to, or coming from the gym or something...

Whenever Gay Byrne interviews anyone. It's never spontaneous. I used to like Byrne then I grew up and saw what an arrogant mercenary tool of Pravda RTE he is. Enda Kenny acting all ''powerful'' etc never lost for words , establishing his credentials and religious convictions. I'm a man of conviction blah blah. The interview I saw was a joke. And the fact that a leader of the country would express his religious beliefs and think thats relevant to his job is unbelieveable and so feckin backwards. Good job at excluding the majority of people who dont' feel the same way you claim to Enda. The whole interview was a set up with questions and answers established well in advance. It was a party political broadcast just like the Biffo propaganda introductory interview before he got handed Berties poisoned chalice and many before it. Trivial or not it annoys me.
