    This ad on boards is annoying me.

    In what universe will a tuned Toyota Yaris (Possibly Auris) keep up with a tuned Mustang?

    And notice how the Toyota is silver coloured!

    Listening to repeat programmes in the middle of the night that you have already heard during the middle of the day.
    People who take off their shoes on coach journeys.
    The clanging of coat hangers in a wardrobe and they all getting entangled.
    People who comb their hair at work in full view of other staff.
    People who stir their tea with a spoon making a horrendous noise.
    Arab (particularly) politicians/spokesmen with bad English using the word 'gonna': 'We have meeting in White House and we gonna talk about problems Middle East.'
    Lillian Smith on RTE radio endlessly calling out requests from people.
    People who say 'de' instead of 'the'. 'Da problem is ...'
    Gay people on marches/demonstrations dressed up in frivolous costumes making themselves vulnerable to mockery. Talk about own goals.
    Most Radio DJs.
    Nicky Byrne. Can't stand the sight of him. (Strange he hasn't started on a solo career...?)
    Mature people (ie people who should know better) using rising intonation ie a sentence ending in a questioning tone eg: 'I went to see my bank manager about a mortgage?'
    Ryan Turbidy
    Gerry Ryan
    Man wearing ponytails.
    People with tatoos.
    BBC Four (TV) not starting until 7 pm.
    Eileen Dunne's lack of wit, originality:'Next to come on the 9 O Clock news'.
    Des Cahill's laziness
    My dog when she ignores me.
    Men going around in Feb/March wearing cheap garish coloured shorts.
    Female students wearing those hot pants with tights when they do not have the shape for it.

    I think I feel a bit better now.

    I got really annoyed watching Sky news this morning, well more annoyed with it than usual. Unsubstantiated claims from some anonymous ex girlfriend of the pilot who crashed the flight during the week, implying that he had intended to crash a plane, are ridiculous. He's dead so he can't dispute those accusations and Sky are being just vague enough to avoid saying that he intended to crash the flight, but the implication is there all the same.

    I mean ffs, enough already. I hate when the media starts that kind of bull sh*t. She can say whatever she likes without fear of being identified and challenged and I doubt she gave them a story for free. So she's cashing in on other people's grief.:mad:

    TA that I agreed to go to something tonight that I have no interest in.

    Double TA that I couldn't think of an excuse not to go and sit at home guilt free for the night.

    Tension headache from the tension in my neck and shoulders. No matter what I try to kill the headache with, it just won't go away.

    when you order something off a menu with high hopes considering the price, and it turns out nothing like you expected, and come away disappointed, or you enjoy the food but there's not enough of it to justify the price. desserts are a nightmare for this.

    when companies change the recipe of your favourite foods resulting in them not tasting nearly as good as they used to.

    also when tv/game companies relaunch their once popular shows/games and water them down for the younger generation, making them less edgy and more PG friendly.

    the post takeaway guilt of ordering too much and therefore eating too much, looking at the spare leftovers you could've done without, but were starving and thought you could manage, eyes bigger than your belly. the sense of greed really sets in when you're four or five slices into a pizza, and cant stomach the garlic bread and chicken wings you got with it, or when you start with the garlic bread/chicken, and are full before you can even start on the pizza. the thrill of the binge is good at first though.

    when people see quietness as weakness, and refer to it negatively. so many people just love to fill the silence with pointless sh1t that just sounds like they're trying too hard.

    *holds you all in suspense*

    Well, let's just say my new username wasn't designed to get people wondering that... I jsut have too little imagination :P

    Our neighbour died this week and as people were coming out to the house we opened our yard up as a carpark. The family asked us to only let older people drive down to the house because they have quite a small yard.

    The amount of rude people who complained and moaned at us, making up excuses to try and drive down instead of making the short walk. Ugh respect the family's wishes, they're having a horrible time as it is without ignorant people doing as they please.

    Give us a clue!!!

    TA that I got an email saying that my Parcel Motel depot is closing, it was so handy to call in on my way home from football and collect my deliveries. New depot I have to use is across the river and may be slightly further away from me :rolleyes:

    No....as it would not be fair and afaik againest the rules to speculate on posters previous identities

    Mod

    Don't speculate on a users identity/previous account please. There's likely a good reason they closed it for a new one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭whatismyname


    TA - losing an hour's sleep in the morning :P didn't even realise it was happening and plan ahead.

    might need an early night tonight, not losing no sleep for no one ;)

    TA i'm dying for garlic bread now

    That coca cola ad where it's shot from the perspective of the person giving the bottle of coke.

    the part that really annoys me is the girl getting proposed to. You know, you see her reaching for a bottle of coke and then a hand with a ring appears.

    There's a shot then later of both him and her drinking the coke. both her hands are visible....but where's the ring?

    When you hit the sack, very tired. Go to bathroom, have a pee, brush the gnashers and climb in between the nice clean sheets, and drowsily listen to the podcast you love.

    FOR FIVE MINUTES....

    because you need to pee again. How did that happen? And how TA is that!

    Destroys all the lovely sleep mode big time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,081 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    I suppose you could demand not to need a pee and stay in your bed. :pac:
