Agreed. Besides, everyone knows the correct word is holliers.

Holliers is a very acceptable version of saying it, maybe I'm just jealous as i had no Holibobs this year

The constant reporting on the Scottish Independence vote. So very very very fcuking sick of having to change news channels to avoid it. Fecks sake, nobody gives a monkeys arse about it. Which is probably why they've given teenagers the vote for it, so they can raise the numbers.

People who, instead of blowing their nose, snort their way through the day, making one of the most disgusting noises known to man.

Argh!!!!!!! There's a guy in our open plan who sounds like Darth Vader on life support.

I know this sounds awful, but if I heard he was squashed by a bus on his way into work I think I would be a little bit happy.

People talking in "Jibbar Jabber" when you ask a question.

"Do you take sugar in your coffee?"

"Well, In think my husband has one, but he does his golf on Saturdays and Bridie is in Santas Ponsa this week?

WTF did she think I asked?

"Do you enjoy swinging when you go golfing?"...

Handing over a crisp 20 or 50 eur note, or similar and being handed back a ripped or well-used note as change - not faded but dog chewed it and spat it back out like.

Today (five minutes ago) in McDonalds in Madrid - was handed a fiver which was cut completely in half - clean cut, like from a scissors - and taped back together.

Asked for a replacement as I wasn´t accepting it. Audible sigh fom the wage-slave when I wouldn´t give in.

Brings up another question; at what point is a note not considered legal tender (cut, faded, written on)?

Not sure at what point its not longer legal tender officially but as long as you have 50%+ of the note you can get it replaced.

Checking your boss's diary first thing in the morning and finding that they have NO meetings at all for the day. Go away from me and leave me in peace. And now she has decided not to go for her regular morning coffee. Le sigh

Haha! This was my exact thought this morning! Thankfully, he did go out for coffee for about an hour.

It's annoying trying to sort out an outfit for a party and realising you have absolutely nothing to wear

Lately, everytime I have a coffee, I get a longing for sugar in it. I have never taken sugar in coffee in my life

Fake tan. The smell of it and the fact it's all over my Egyptian cotton sheets.

In fairness the thing that really p***es me off in Ireland is the complete and total over use of the stupid phrase "In fairness".
I was looking at two boggers discussing a GAA game on "The Sunday Game" last week and I'd swear that every second sentence from the two speech defect accented morons in question was "In fairness" - Truly nauseating stuff ! .:mad:

In fairness and to give Windows its due, that's probably more the fault of your internet / computer speed than Windows....

In fairness there are worse things than that going on in estates:

After a bit of unauthorised building work was put up, one of the women in my estate wrote a letter to the council complaining that "the man next door has a large erection in his garden that is dangerous and unsightly...."

There's a wan here in work, and every day (multiple times), whenever someone asks "How are you", the answer is "i'm here".

Snapkicks is what i'd love to produce!
