    I shaved off my beard over the weekend. Now everyone is staring at me like I'm some sort of animal in a zoo. And people are upset that I have no profound reason for shaving it off.....

    Person: what was the special occassion?
    Me: em, no occassion, just got rid of it.

    I've been doing this for the past 8 or 9 years though, grow beard, shave beard, grow beard, shave beard.

    Did your parents shave your face as a one year old, in order to encourage good beard growth in later life?

    Do you mean the thing that cuts the flow immediately when the system detects that it's about to overflow? Why in a billion sorts of buggery would anyone do that??

    No, there's a little jigger on the pump that locks the handle into the "on" position so that if you're filling your tank, you can (in theory) just put that on and then stand there scratching your balls til the tank is full and the pump automatically knocks off. But pretty much every garage in Ireland disables them, for reasons known only to themselves. Tis a mys-tor-eeee.

    Today at lunchtime I got a ferocious craving for Tex-Mex junk food. I then became trivially annoyed that there is no Taco Bell around here. The humanity!! :(

    Ive a goo on me for Sushi, but nowhere around here does it :(

    Ooh, that reminds me - there's a new ultra-modern Tokyo-style sushi place in Cork this weather. Must give it a try:

    Oh, I see. I haven't actually seen one of them operating since sometime in the 1980s. :pac:

    Looking forward to getting home from work this evening only to realise that, because I stayed up too late last night, I'll probably fall asleep when I get home, miss out on my evening, and then it will be time to go back to work. :mad:

    Fuddy duddy's who call their constituency office with queries and get someone to make calls on their behalf instead of just doing it themselves. Morons.

    The consistent use of the word "lad" used to describe any vain Irish male aged 16-23 who has shaved the sides of his head, styled the remaining hair on top, models himself on Geordie Shore or any other MTV reality sh**e and engages is selfies.

    That is not a "lad" that's a f**king idiot.

    Some people say "lad" or "lads" when referring to females...:mad::confused:

    Got a lovely unpopular one here, bank holidays!

    Having never worked in a job where a bank holiday actually meant anything to me, they've just wound up meaning that everywhere's going to be closed or not operating to full capacity for a day and my sense of time is all thrown off. I'm sure my tune'll change in a few years, of course.

    Why is it the man's job to put the toilet seat down when finished ?

    Why can't women put the seat down before they start

    Girls who comment on a picture of a girl friend on facebook

    Beautiful
    Looking great lady

    Looking rough in that one
    Her face looks like my elbow

    Same here. I usually only notice it's a bank holiday when I go to do something ordinary and realise the shop/bank is closed.

    If we're all honest, it's always the girls/women who are.... lets say.... slightly less than smart.

    C'mon now people, you know it's true.

    The Simpsons is on the Telly now ... I just realised Lisa Simpsons brand of feminist angst and search for feminist role models irritates me. Upon reflection I am also sure it continues for a couple of hundred episodes. I just realise I have been subconsciously trivially annoyed for years.

    Petrol stations that disable the automatic feed doo-dad on the pump handle.

    Which is pretty much every one in Ireland :mad:

    THANK YOU!!!!

    I didn't drive for six years when I first arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and couldn't understand if petrol pumps had become crappy, my memory was failing, or operator stupidity (aka mine). Now I know the truth.... :)

    AFAIK when you pull the lever filling petrol its supposed to lock into place and stay filling so you could walk around/do something else (handy for jeeps/large petrol tanks etc)
    and you just return then to stop it when its getting full
