    the estate i live in is beside marley park and when i went to the front of the estate the idiot garda wouldn't let men in because i had not got a permit, i was on my bleeding bike ffs and still in my work uniform and they would still not let me in, i had to ring a family member to come up to the top of the estate to let me in. i am raging the idiots cant tell the difference between a concert goer and someone going home from work, really the gards never ever use discretion they are all idiots and im reporting the garda in question for being an idiot

    Garda instruction: nobody to be let in without a permit or ticket. You arrive with neither. Why didn't you have a permit ? I would be directing your anger at whomever let you down on that score.

    I thanked this not knowing the procedures regarding permits ect but if a person is inconvenienced going about their day to day business by incompetence, in any way and by anyone, it's worth a rant at least...

    Rant. Women getting into your head. *context* Not particularly looking for relationship, but new woman starts in work and we "click". Tag rugby eh... Anyways, few nights out and all good, except she says she's not sure about going out with work people ect.. The texts and vibes are promising for the future, but not sure if it's worth it if she's just P. teasing.... Arrrggghhhhh :(

    My rant, women :)

    The shame on the country over the Garth Brooks saga according to the media. Schoolsgirls kidnapped in Nigeria, civil war in Syria, Ukraine etc etc. But a has-been country singer can't play five concerts in Ireland and the world looks on (according to the Irish media commentators). Collectively we should all hang our heads in shame.

    The time for shamefull head hanging was when he soldout 5 nights in the first place or even in the early 90s when his albums were in every house in the country.

    Tendonitis, or bursitis, whichever is the one where you can feel the tendon on the top of your foot creaking and can actually hear the creak. What a bugger, I wouldn't mind if I had been training this week but I haven't ran since Monday for a variety of reasons so it seems it just appeared from nowhere.

    I have a very unscientific theory that injuries wait until inactivity to attack. The only time I pick up niggles is when Im doing little or no training. When Im doing 80 miles a week or more I have no problems at all, when I taper or take a down week Im a cripple.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    I'll peer review and concur with your unscientific paper when compete. I'm the very same, odd niggles and pains appear when I'm most inactive.

    I'm in danger of not making my 7 races of an already poor IMRA summer league now when it was looking like a shoe in a month ago.

    Walkers in running races. I just don't get it! ( I'm talking about casual walkers rather than "power walkers"

    ...and runners who start with the walkers ????

    Some people should be required to pass an aptitude test before being allowed to enter a race.

    Some of the posts afterwards drive me to distraction.

    One person actually asked if we'd all get a new tshirt because the date of the Irish Runner 5 mile was wrong on the one we got. I'd say you'd have more chance of someone standing there with a bottle of Tipp-ex changing the 1 to an 8 than you would of them printing thousands more tshirts.

    The GOD channel. Realised last night that we have this included in our upc package. It's so bad and I found it so amusing that it could almost go in the rave thread.

    They were advertising some crack pot who is on this evening who claims there is a link to the presence of UFOs and Israeli activity. Anytime Israel does something unlawful it incenses satan and he sends up a couple of UFOs. I may be paraphrasing.

    The next programme that came on was called the Jewish voice. This had me chuckling but I soon had to be picked up off the floor when I realised that today's "voice" was concerned with a 2000 year old Jewish diet that claims to help you lose 14 lbs in 10 days. I don't think it was liposuction :) anyway to cap it off the presenter of this amazing diet was a fat fcuk.

    Actually in hindsight this is definitely one for the rave thread :)

    Sounds more like a comedy sketch, are you sure you weren't watching Monty Python re-runs?

    Speaking of fat fcuks.. my rant is also tv related.
    Donald trump. I detest this being and everything he stands for. Watched a documentary last night about his golfing 'empire' and what he did to the beautiful Aberdeen landscape and complex systems of dunes which he destroyed and about how he treated the local people.
    What a poor excuse for a human being.

    Did you ever hear the interview he did with RTE Radio when he was here a few weeks ago about his plans for Doonbeg?

    He's full of absolute 5h!te!!

    So he's gonna do the same here as he did in Scotland? I'll have a listen to that later.
    This makes me soooo angry. :mad:

    You obviously missed him a few weeks ago when he and his entourage turned up for a visit aboard his private jet (Trump International blazed on the side).

    Even got a meet and greet on the tarmac from a couple of government ministers or local officials. Noonan was one of the IIRC.

    Those beautiful pictures you post on your log. You be ok with those images being replaced by images of shiny new hotels and your unique local landscape being robbed from under your eyes?

    Still not the best at sarcasm across a computer! The man should be ran out of the country, but in his circles money talks unfortunately. And for a man worth billions, he should be ashamed of that hair transplant, he was definitely ripped off there(for once).
