    I came across some really bad reviews of Liebherr, it might be worth having another look at manufacturers while you wait for the beast to die:D

    I like the whole industrial, Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk thing with the Leibherr gear. But a Whirlpool or Samsung would do too!

    The fact that I am 35 and can't drive. Have never even sat behind the wheel of a car. Why didn't I just get it over with when I was 17?

    Are you a city slicker?

    I'd be lost without my car. I grew up in the shticks, the first time I drove a car was at the tender age of 12. :pac:

    My OH on the other hand is a dub, never drove.

    May I humbly suggest that there's no time like the present? Congratulations, you now have a Project. :cool:

    "OK so, could you tell me about that thing we mentioned, for information purposes??" I beg your pardon? As opposed to like, what, doing a bit of TIG-welding with it? Or possibly Origami?? :confused:

    1. People trying to change the law because they want a five night session of middle aged female yokes getting p1ssed on pinot grigio and making a show of themselves in pink cowboy hats.

    2. Above being given far too much media attention

    Kids doing what some may perceive as 'cute' things in public and their parents looking around to see if everyone else is as enthralled by their kid's antics as they are. We aren't nor will we ever be

    They do the same with babies - expecting you to be all smiley when their big baldy potato head laughs.

    When you're bidding on something on eBay and you're the highest bidder for days! You're the highest bidder when it finishes, but when you refresh the page some fcuker has bought the item and you loose out.

    They get nothing from me, nothing, even if the baby happens to actually be cute! On the other side of the coin, I'd get randomers nearly diving into the pram cooing at them when my kids were small babies. Get away from my children you freaks!

    I had the misfortune of getting stuck beside a group meet-up of new mums in Dundrum recently. I was very close to throwing myself off the nearby escalators by the time I left. The inanity of the conversation, the undercurrent of b*tchy competition/one upmanship, the not really listening to each other properly as they couldn't tear themselves away from looking at their potato heads, and of course, not forgetting all the massive big 'Oirish' looking babies they had produced who those around them were expected to be enthralled by :D

    Why do Irish people say TescoS??? There's no 's', it's Tesco. It baffles me more than bothers me.

    I think the explanation for this is you wouldn't say I'm going to John house, it's Johns house. Therefore I am going to tescos.

    I say it and will continue to :D

    People who do ANYTHING a wet day and think it makes them an expert on the subject.

    Actually people in general who want you to know they are an expert in anything. That should be a disclaimer to let you know that anything which follows will be unfiltered, unyielding bullshìt.

    On the other end of the "smug bastard who knows fannyadams" scale, is the arse sniffer, you know - that guy who brown noses everyone thinking that he's "able to manipulate people", who still knows fcuk all.

    Call me "whizz kid" again you daft prick, it gets you nowhere. That plamasing only works on smug bastards with an ego only surpassed by their oversized potato head.

    Yeah it's funny, people who claim to be experts on something rarely are. I suppose it's because once you think you know everything about something, you actually stop learning.

    Most of the times I've met someone who has been mind-blowingly knowledgeable on a subject, it has usually come as a surprise because they don't broadcast it.

    You'll enjoy this if you haven't seen it already.

    On the gym topic, I dont have the physique of a sack of melons but people who loiter on machines in a gym really annoys me. Happened last night so its very fresh in my mind. Yes, I can go say something to them, and I do, but why should I have to.

    People going from one machine to the other and leaving their smelly towel on the vacant machine so no one will take it, get on my tits. I nearly got into a bust up with some hunk one time. I took his towel off and threw on the ground. He was straight over in a split second saying he was using that machine. I didn't say anything, just turned around and gave him the look of death. I was about to floor him, but when he saw my face, he apologised and said 'Is it okay if we take turns in between reps?'. That was fine with me.

    Ah I'd have no issues with that because I'd just skirt their towel in a flash, mind you I havent experienced that myself yet. It's the people zoning out, messing with ipods or even checking Facebook that gets on my tits.

    I'm beginning to sound a bit like the guy in the potato article I posted so I'll stop :D

    Parents in the park thinking my dog is there solely for their kids amusement, and encourage their kids to go over and touch the dog. Out walking one day with mum and we had two dogs with us. One, the terrier is not exactly a big fan of kids, having been kicked around by them in the past. The other one, big friendly eejit that she is loves them so much she'd send them flying in her enthusiasm to lick their faces off! So, not a good mix. Guy coming towards us holding a child that must have been less than two and when he sees the dogs...he puts the child down! I just know he is going to be one of those "pet the bow-wow" types and turns out he is. I can hear him saying "do you wanna go and touch the doggies?" to her. I end up having to scoop up the small dog and reign in the big one and cross over to the far side to give him the message - my dogs are not fuucking toys. How would these people feel if I saw their toddler and started saying to my dog, "look at the baby! Do you wanna go and touch the baby? Let's play tug!" :pac:

    People who use incorrect tags on instagram. If I'm searching for #lowcarb why am I seeing home decor, gardens, clothes hauls and stupid stuff like that?

    I absolutely hate people, who do this. I love dogs but I respect the animal and the owner. A while back a cute dog walked over to me in the park but I asked the owner first if it's ok to touch him (touch the dog, not the owner!:p). He said yes. And then we had a chat about the above mentioned issues. I used to have a big dog and a tiny dog. The big one was the biggest sweetest fool you could meet, but she could do damage because she was so strong and clumsy. The small one was a mean bitch, who didn't really like kids. Very often I'd walk them together, they were a hilarious duo but the amount of people I had to give out to stay away from both was unbearable. My brother has a small terrier, she's very friendly but he was mightily annoyed the other day when he was stopped in the street because some woman just decided to pick her up to cuddle her! :eek:

    My friend has horses and very often gets mad because even though she has "Private property, do not enter" signs everywhere people still think it's ok to enter her property AND feed the horses. 1)The horses could harm them or their kids, 2) (and more important) They could kill the animals with the crap they feed them. Just because it's a horse it doesn't mean it eats everything you think it eats, they have health issues as well.

    People, who have no respect really piss me off.
