Ah there's nothing like a line of freshly-washed and air-dried clothes! Have a dryer but haven't used it in years. It also helps that I live in a country with hot weather so don't have to keep an eye out for rain!

"Watch out for rain..."

"THE CLOUDS ARE 20 FEET FROM THE EARTH AND THE WIND HAS BLOWN YOUR YOUNGEST CHILD THREE GARDENS AWAY IT'S GOING TO FECKING RAIN IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES."

"A quick blast will do them wonders..."

Running out of toothpaste.
I squeezed/rolled the tube as much as possible and managed to get a TINY bit out, at the risk of breaking two fingers.
But it wasn't enough so my teeth didn't feel very minty/clean.

Being associated with the county I live in and I'm not even Irish (I'm from Scotland).

I live in Waterford, and my girlfriend lives with her family in Kilkenny. I go up every weekend... then during the summer, it's a Sunday, the hurling is on (I know not a curdy of the sport, I'm a football fan). Girlfriend is up watching it, I'll go up for the company. I don't care for the sport. But everytime Waterford get beat (which I hear they do, a lot) all eyes are on me, and the fingers are pointed.

Yeah ha, ha, ha, I get your joke, I live in Tramore, that means I adore the Waterford GAA team by default. But when it's brought up EVERY TIME. 90% of the time I'm unaware any GAA matches have been played (what can I say, I prefer Super Sunday). But I'll get an unexpected encounter from one of her friends/family and it's "unlucky Dave".... How am I unlucky? .... "Waterford are out, now" (or beat, I don't know).

This is just as bad from the home side as well. My girlfriend gave me a wrist band (I like wristbands, I have a few) and this one is black and amber, has a Kilkenny logo on it. Mammy's new fiancé (he's from Waterford) clocks the band on my wrist. "Take that band off, now. Not wearing them colours here" I understand he's messing but cut me some slack I don't care for all this colour-coded County crap and I do not enjoy the GAA. I've tried watching it but I just can't get into it.

Then there's this other bollox of people here debating to me that Hurling is better than Football/Soccer, and trying to explain to me why.

"Do you like hurling, Dave?"
"Nah I prefer football. Grew up with it"

"Oh, oh, oh, but Hurling is the fastest field sport in the world.." "I don't care.."

I was playing FIFA once, had a two-man audience from a couple of GAA-watchers looking at me goin "Football is crap, how can you play that muck?"

Well f*ck me, sorry for insulting you.

I get that it's all for fun and games but when it's turning into a running gag in my life since 2004, it tends to get repetitive and irritating... That, and "sure you're foreign" . yaaaay I'm Scottish, that means I'm... oh go on, just take your joke. Have fun with it. Ugh... I'm a grumpy auld Jock

Irish supermarkets being so slow to get new products in-store.
I saw an ad about two months ago for this new Cadbury Puddles bar.
I've been looking every week in a few shops for it and nobody has even HEARD of it, let alone stock it.
I reckon we'll have it around Christmas time.
If I went to the UK, I bet they'd have it.

I saw that bar in Tesco actually! :eek:

The only reason I remember is because I was looking for the Marvellous Creations one

Oh, my phone's back working. Right now I just got a call from 0000353... number (it's one of those scam calling companies using Skype's geolocation options to make it look like they're calling from Ireland).

Heey, they had me on hold and then they just hung up! That's not nice!

I saw this bar in Dunnes Stores in Clondalkin last Sunday

Trying to find a dog park! I won't let my dogs off the lead anywhere except a dog park but I'm not seeing any close by

Idiots who let their dogs off the lead and they jump up on me or my son, annoy my dogs etc. There's a sign up saying they must be kept on a lead you imbeciles!!

I don't have a dog, but there is a dog section of our local park where the dogs can run free. Love going there and watching other peoples dogs.
TA that I don't have a dog!

I have 7 if you want one

Ordering a cuppa and a toasted hang & cheese sanger in a cafe/pub and not being asked if you want them together, or if you want the tea first. Drives me fcukin demented.

My boyfriend blew the engine of my car I'm so sad, it was my first car and I loved it.

Ahh now, that's a bit more than just trivial

I think the worst I ever heard was when I lent a guy a laptop (think he was doing a college assignment or something), and he handed it back to me with a cracked screen. He didn't seem to care a whole lot and then he goes "well you shouldn't have lent it to me in the first place then, should you?"...

If ever there was a time I wanted to kick someone up the hole so badly, that was it! :mad:


TA: Playing lift roulette this morning when the lift still goes up and down, but you never know what floor it's gonna land on. I wanted to go to the fifth floor, took me ages, and then I didn't want to get out because I thought "it'll go to the right floor this time"...

Eventually had to get out and take the stairs. Hate stairs
