What did the Prison Officers Association do to annoy you now?

Was lock up too early today?

Or countries where washing seems to be a hangable offence, you wouldn't believe some of the dirtbirds out there. We see (smell) them in work all the time. Would honestly turn your stomach

I think as a nation in general we are quite ugly.

It is so easy to spot an irish man abroad. Sweaty hungover heads and badly dressed with a confused look on their face. Sometime with a bit of food stuck to their upper lip.
But in fairness, there are some real beautiful Irish women out there, absolute stunners that look great and look irish...if that makes any sense.

Well at least we smile a bit, there are some people going around and they look the come from countries where smiling was hanging offence:D

By "smile" do you mean "let their lower jaw hang loose like a gombeen"? Nothing more annoying than someone walking aorund with their gob hanging open. The absolute height of laziness to not even bother closing one's mouth....

Genuinely nothing worse in the world then waiting an extra 2 minutes to hold open a door for someone just to get a blank stare back in your face.

People without manners are cretins of this world

Present company excluded, I agree. I spent a summer doing a j1 and as soon as I got back to dublin i was left wondering what happened everyone while I was gone. Outrageous looking outfits going around

Not even the outfits, although I will never forgive the inventor of the anorak, but just the actual puses on them. At least now we are becoming more genetically diverse with people marrying non-Irish and having kids together. Nothing like a bit of a mix up to improve the pool a bit, rather than sticking with the scaldy potato heads

The amount of people going out wearing tracksuits in public when they're not partaking in any form of exercise. Tracksuits, hoodies and usually Nike runners. Do these people not own mirrors?

The Moldy Gowl · 12-01-2015 05:41PM

Ah lads. There is some fantastic looking Irish makes and females. PLus accents.

It's the English who are not good looking.

Reminds me of that story where american tourists come over to Dublin and get the bus into town... and are amazed at how many Irish seem to partake in sports and must be all 'athletes' given so many people dressed in tracksuits / runners...

"Some" is, in my opinion, the operative word in your sentence.

No, just ordinary smiles;)

whiskeyman · 12-01-2015 05:47PM

People who spend oodles of money on expensive clothes but still dress poorly.

I suppose it depends where you go..., can't say I have come across the "confused with food on the face" thing.

Vowed today I'm going to eat better and lose weight but I can't afford the gym so I don't think I'm going to do very well. What exercises can one do at home?!

whiskeyman · 12-01-2015 05:50PM

TA - when reheating a dinner in the microwave and different foodstuffs on the plate heat at different rates, thus leaving a plate of varying temperatures...
Is the meat warm enough?
Will the gravy scold me?
Will the carrots be cold??!

AARGGHH!

Walking outside is much better anyway! Never understood why someone would want to pay to walk up a fake hill full of sweat when they can walk up a fresh, clean one for nothing

At home, maybe sit ups or something?

I'm thinking of doing 5 every time I say the F word. I'll be slim in no time

Apparently there are lot of bedroom exercises you can do for a great workout

I cleaned out all my wardrobes at the weekend and really seems to get a sweat going!

Also Swahili for 'cool' :P To piggyback, I can understand the annoyance, talking to friends and they reply with poa, it's like end of conversation. Nothing to come back with.

I never realised this was actuallly common, but the exercise here with the tins of beans is somewhat similar to the exercises my old man used have us do at home, like press-ups, only you're exercising your core muscles -

No, I didn't realise I was exercising my core muscles either, I thought he was just being an a-hole making us do exercises with tins of beans! :pac:

What does POA mean in that context?

Diet is far more important than exercise for weight loss, so don't worry about not going to the gym. 30 Day Shred is designed to be done at home. Also, one of the simplest tricks ever is to jog on the spot for the duration of the ad breaks while you're watching tv. Not very advisable if you have large, excitable dogs in the room, though.

It depends, usually ok or cool. The friend who does it a lot, sometimes i'd ask what he's doing or how is he ? And he replies with poa as in 'it's all good'. For me, it's a real conversation killer.

I could never really get that to work for me.....hot spots and all that. Usually end up splitting the food up. I did get a steamer a while ago, and find that great for heating meats/chicken without drying it out, and almost as fast a microwave.

I would have thought you really need a combination of both, no?

Not really. Obviously in terms of health & fitness, a combination of both is ideal, but it's perfectly possible to attain and maintain a healthy weight through diet alone.

And by diet, I just mean what you eat, as opposed to being "on" a diet.

Very true, you can take a whore to culture but you can't make her think.

TA that the older I get the more cautious and nervous I am. Back in September I got rear ended and now even though I'm not driving anymore, anytime I'm in a car and it's braking I get super nervous which is ridiculous because I wasn't even hurt when it happened but each time the car brakes I can just imagine the car behind coming straight towards us and not stopping, not seeing were braking

Menas · 12-01-2015 08:04PM

The weather. It is snowing in Donegal right now and by all accounts the western half of the country will get a shedload of snow tonight and tomorrow. But likely very little for us in the east.
A road trip to a high mountain in the west may be called for.
