Dublin always have a large following in both the championship and league. Home and away, good times and bad.

Providing its football, not so keen on their hurlers are they!

Not sure what the point is....or maybe Kilkenny footballers have a massive following, or Kerry hurlers?

Its such shame:rolleyes:. Just look at the support Limerick footballers have, or Mayo hurlers or Donegal hurlers. I could name every 32 counties.
If you look at attendance's you'll actually see Dublin have very good attendance's for both codes compared to any other county. (including Cork who have shown themselves to be great fair-weather supporters).

RANT. The anti-Dublin sentiment the rears its head whenever the Dubs have some success.

Skinny waist, it's a different thing. You're not a bit hipstery are you ? You're probably still wearing your boot cuts with lumberjack shirt, in this weather.

I've an awful time buying jeans, I'd get a 29/30 waist but my thighs/calfs are huge. Anything at all slim-fitting I can't put on at all.

No, I like boot-cut, but not 1970s style. Little bit of a boot-cut is just right!

So had lovely holiday for past few weeks, driving back from it yesterday and lost all power from the car engine 5miles away from home.

Looks like engine might be a write off due to costs being uneconomical , just what I needed coming back from holidays

Did you at least run the 5 miles home?

Toilet seats. Specifically, ones that don't stay up when you're peeing. Ones that wait til you're mid-flow, then slowly drop of their own accord, leaving you with that awful choice that has to be made in a spit second - carry on peeing whilst the falling seat batters your pee everywhere, or worse, enduring the sting of cutting it short. :eek:

1 - Clampers. Scum of the earth!

2 - Idiots who walk 5 abreast on the Clontarf promenade and expect me to move onto the grass when running in the other direction.

3 - Fat oul ones that walk 3 abreast.......(see point 2)

Too much actual work to do to justify a bit of slacking and Commonwealth Games-watching on my phone

Those mind numbing ads for the Stillorgan Inn. If it was the last place on earth a fella could get a pint I'd go without!

Do you mean the Leopardstown Inn or the Stillorgan Orchard? Clearly the ads are not hitting the right notes!

Reminds me when I was very young that I could just reach the toilet and we had a seat prior to those 3 rubber things so it fell down..... {will leave the rest to your imagination} Still remember the pain 25+ years later.

Owners of dogs who give out to you when you shout at their dog as it runs at you full tilt from behind while they tell you 'he won't do anything to you'.

How in the name of mice do I know what kind of dog you own or whether you have trained your dog properly to listen to your voice commands?

And by the way missus, you don't have your dog properly trained as he disn't come to heel when you asked your dog to!

Stupid f*cker that put the wheels on my car the last time I got tyres on it, one of the wheel studs is rounded im stuck on the side of the road waiting for a recovery truck.

pa4 · 27-07-2014 03:05PM

Was out last night and got talking to a hurler about running and races. They then went on to tell me how they could beat me over a 5k 'if they trained for it'. After I managed to convince them that they were completely deluded they tried to tell me how it's a 'fact' that they could beat me over a 200m sprint!

Only one way to sort that out.

Smash your pint glass off the counter and.....

This idea that Inter County GAA players aren't fit is utterly ridiculous.

It shows a real inferiority complex among the Irish Athletics community to see the continuous, pointless attacks at another sport.
