People cycling on foot paths really bugs the crap out of me. There isn't a single day that I don't see at least one cyclist at it. Yesterday there was a guy on the foot path overtaking me while there was a fcuking cycle lane a foot away.

Get off the fcuking foot paths or one day the urge to shove your ass off your bike and onto the road may become too much. Twats.:mad:

I'm a driver, a cyclist and a pedestrian. I've been annoyed by drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. And by far the worst of everyone out there is cyclists. Drivers and pedestrians break the rules every day, putting others at risk. But I have seen cyclists doing it a hundred times more often.

I was out walking yesterday evening, I am on a foot path, which is beside a footpath/cycle way, and then a three lane road, that is with two lanes heading same direction, and on this part we have tour de France man, cycling in the middle 0f the two lanes, right on the broken white line. Now it wasn't dark, but getting there, and he has no hi-vis, no lights, dressed in navy lycra.....Gob****e, you would slap the head off a youngster for doing that.

Cyclists in general but particularly Mamils. Middle Aged Men in Lycra.
I worked beside The Samuel Beckett Bridge and had to cross it to get home.
The green man sequence is very short so you have to run to make sure you make it in time. I lost count of the number of cyclists who broke red lights on that junction.

I used to let a roar at them for breaking the lights and they look back at me blankly.

chrysagon a few of them were very lucky they didn't get a dig or a wallop of my huge heavy handbag

eisenberg1 · 26-08-2014 04:47PM

By the by, I walk, drive and cycle ( I wouldn't call myself a cyclist, but I do own a bike, if you know what I mean)
But I draw the line at lycra...............I tried it once and I looked like a condom stuffed with walnuts.

Unintentional synchronized toilet breaks, just had a pee beside the same lad for the 4th time today.

People who use the Dyson Air blade hand driers wrong, flapping their hands in and out 100 times, that’s not how they work!

Ex boss being a sneaky git and refusing to engage with me to hand over the 'Certificado de Empresa', and copies of payslips which are required by law at end of any contract.

Have been told if I continue asking for it to consider my reference letter useless. That's what being a loyal, 6 days a week employee gets you. Lesson learned.

5+ emails stalling and the excuses are becoming ridiculous. Reporting it tomorrow, as if I had the time to waste.

Spain; keep doing what you're doing.

AXA ad copywriters:

Asking somebody who they insure their car with is not a 'terribly personal thing to ask.' It's written there on the insurance disk on the front of the car for the whole world to see! Nobody would be offended by someone asking this, much less their partner!

I wanted to just have a shower and become one with the couch. But there's nothing on TV. Now I might actually be forced to do something productive

Pumpkinseeds · 26-08-2014 07:16PM

I'm really sick and tired of fad online fundraising crap. Please fcuk right off with this ****, especially the Ice bucket challenge or whatever the feck it is. It is such a vacuous way to fund raise. I wonder how many of the people doing it actually have any idea what it's raising awareness of. Christ only knows what the next fad will be.

Haha! I used to be on the same pee schedule as a few guys in work. Each of us in our mid-twenties will teeny bladders, and on a synchronised schedule. It became uncomfortable, and then funny.

With a bit of luck it'll be the "punch myself in the nuts" challenge. Easy ethnic cleansing.

I have a bit of psoriasis, so I'd like some hydrocortisone cream, but can I get some in Ireland? Only on prescription, says the pharmacist. So I'm supposed to stump up €60 or whatever it is these days for a bit of skin cream? For half of that I could hop a train to Belfast, pay £3.49 in a Boots near the station, and travel back to Dublin. :rolleyes:

I think there's a psoriasis thread on the Longterm Illness forum. It might be worth your while having a look there.

Watching a film on Netflix that is set around Christmas time.

Now I have Shakin Stevens & co tunes stuck in my head.

You have to type zero into a document 12 times, and twice, for no good reason, you choose to use the letter O instead of a number 0 - why? why?

Then print it off and stick it on a wall that I have to stare at for half an hour in a queue? Now you're just fcuking with me.

Getting an itchy ankle when you're on public transport wearing knee high boots. As if you're gonna zip the fúcker down and scratch it.... Have to settle for jamming the heel of your other boot in hoping that will kill it.

Only realising at 30 how wonderful mega meanies and chipsticks (or anything with vinegar/pickled onion flavour) are for curing hangovers. A decade of hangovers gone uncured because I did not know this simple fact.
