Valentine's dayWhile some people are going on about how they're going away for Valentine's day and how great their other halves are, the rest will be feeling sorry for them as they should be treated so the rest of the year round.
How Valentine's days is just a stupid Hallmark holiday.
And then you have the same sad people trying to convince everyone their much happier being single.
Pancake TuesdayWhat pancakes toppings are you having? How many pancakes have you eaten today?...
There'll be a few hypochondriacs who've convinced themselves their wheat and gluten intolerant so they'll chip in with a healthier option here and in the Nutrition forum.
LentWhat will you give up for lent? Smoking, booze, chocolate etc. Always the same.
St. Patrick's dayWhich parade will you be going to? Where are you going drinking? "I can't wait to have a shamrock milkshake" and "Green Guinness lol".
Of course there'll be the usual it's ridiculous how much people drink on this day - nation of p1ssheads etc. Reports on fights among the usual subsection of humanoids. "God what must the tourists think of us!"
Oh yeah, and gays in the parades! "What about the kids!?"
EasterEaster eggs. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Wouldn't people be better off without religion (again)? The annoying atheists making the same 'jokes' they've been making for years.
Good Friday. You'll have some people being all indignant and feeling persecuted by Catholicism. Yawn.
There'll be others whining about the whiners -
"can't you go one day without being to the pub"!
"That's not the point!" etc....
"Then go an lobby your local constituents!" Of course the same people whinging will have done nothing the last few years, but they'll be out in force to moan on boards.
SummerCrowded beaches, teenager's drinking in public, fights, Howth, Portmarnock, Dollymount, Gardai doing nothing, youth of today, "it's too hot!", heatwaves, hottest summer since 1914 or something, kids' summer holidays, teacher's holidays - which will lead to more teacher threads, "where are you going on you holidays?", boastful 'Walter Mitty' posts about where folk are going, holidays in Ireland vs holidays abroad, summer music festivals, Electric Picnic, too many skangers...
HalloweenExcuse for girls to dress as slutty as possible, 'hilarious' homemade costumes, "Will you be answering the door?" Fruit or sweets? Fireworks - should be legal/better enforcement on current laws, scumbags at Halloween, favourite scary movies, what to dress up as? Controversial costumes - from Jesus and Mohammed to Nazi's and 'black face'.
November timeToo early for Christmas decorations, "My neighbour has their decorations up already".
ChristmasWhat are you getting? "It's wrong to lie to kids and pretend there's a Santa!"
"It's a religious holiday! Why are you celebrating it you heathen!?"
Real or artificial tree this year (?) and the merits on each, your favourite ever Christmas present, Christmas abroad, shops packed, people getting into debt over Christmas, kids get too much, favourite Christmas movies...
And in between there'll inevitably be even more threads on:
TV licence/broadcasting charge
Vegetarians/vegans
Movie/music piracy
The occasional conspiracy theory
Nauseating 'RIP threads'
De Politicians and their wages
Some gay people will be offended at something like a cake shop and there'll be a huge thread on it.
Irish in Australia
Travellers
Are/is/why <insert stupid generalised question here that nobody can possibly answer unless a ridiculously extensive study is carried out>
Charity (and animals vs other charities)
Fat people
Sexism - it's only sexism when it's a man etc.
Feminism and feminazism
TL;DR - AH is
boring
and
repetitive
. AH, "You're
f*
cking
out
!"
