    "The government is removing blockages from the system" - perhaps they should remove the blockages from Noonan, he's hacking away there like something else.

    I can just about handle his "Billans an' billans, aaaahhhh!!" bit, but what really gets up my left nostril is the way he insists on saying "Twoooo-fourteen", "Twoooo-turteen" instead of twenty-whatever like a normal person. :pac:

    Oh the sober for octobers will be dropping AA leaflets into your letterbox if you do that :) Also, I find if buying wine on a budget Lidl is better than Dunnes/Tesco etc. You can get a fairly palatable Rioja for €6.99 - it's not amazing but I'd put it ahead of Torres or any of the other €10 range ones on offer in other supermarkets.

    It's autumn, so... out come the leaf blowers. The noise those things make ... :mad:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Ah yeah, you spend years in a place, and you will miss some people. I just enjoying being a wagon. It's like those people on Facebook who go on holiday and then spend the entire fortnight posting incessant status updates of what a great time they're having. :pac:

    Knobjockeys to the right of me with Liddyaldy powerwashers Bzzzzz-ing the driveway, knobjockeys to the left of me with Liddlyaldy leaf-blowers Bfffff-ing the fcukan leaves. I think I'll introduce them to my new Liddlyaldy .50-cal machine gun!! :mad:

    Oh stop haha, I'd be on my way to St. John of gods if they had their way! Me and my defunct liver. I'll def try the Rioja in lidl. The one I usually get from carry out is 12 euro which I don't mind spending because I don't spend my money on anything else, don't smoke, rarely buy food. Happy days

    Exactly. I always laugh to myself when I see council guys following the grass cutters to blow the grass off the footpaths. It'll just blow back on to the footpaths in minutes. What an utterly pointless and expensive thing to do. How on earth did they cope in the past with a yard brush:confused:

    Att: All Car drivers

    If is is dull/raining, i.e. low visibility, turn on your "little" lights

    When it gets darker, turn on your headlights

    And when it gets foggy, TURN ON YOUR FCUKING FOG LIGHTS!!!!


    Thanks

    And then make sure all the bloody bulbs in the lights are working, not one side and opposite side and one headlight,

    When Dublin Bus sell on old Alx 400 doubledeckers to Private Operators, the private operators always apply a sh¡t colour scheme on all of them, not just the ones for schoolkids.

    When you want to have a pretzel, get to the bakery part of the shop and there is one last pretzel sitting there. And just at that moment when you feel you got lucky some b1tch barges in front of you and TAKES THE LAST PRETZEL. :mad:

    I love pretzels. I'd say I hope she chokes on it but I'm not that mean :(

    And in that same category, ripping off clingfilm or tinfoil, wrapping it around something and finding you didn't rip off enough.
