Red Bull Ads

They are Not funny
They are Not effective
I refuse to buy Red Bull as result of them
(and fact it tastes like battery acid)

Said before, but cold callers!!
I had 3 knocks on the door on Friday from 2 of them (the same guy knocked on 2 separate occasions).

The one that really got to me though was the Eircom guy trying to tell me that he could get me more speed from my line despite me repeatedly telling him I was at maximum capacity. He then told me that my Vodafone modem was slow and outdated, and would result in slow wifi speeds, and when I told him that I had disabled the wifi function of the modem, and was using my own wifi router (Time Capsule), he just couldn't fathom what I was saying, and still insisted I'd be better off with an Eircom modem, and he'd prove it to me, so he ran a line test and said with the Eircom modem, I would get up to 30mb download speed, I said that was pretty impressive, but since I was already getting a steady 28mb with my current set up, I would see no need or want to change.

These chancers go around hoping to get someone who's not really up to speed with all the jargon, and try and bully them into upgrading their services to something that they'll never need! and what pi$$es me off the most, these 'reps' haven't got a clue themselves.

Ripped jeans! So hard to find a pair of jeans in the shops that don't have ripped knees in them. Decided to take the plunge last week and bought a pair. Putting them on this morning I put my foot through the knee hole instead of the foot hole and now they're ripped the whole way down

maybe I could start a new trend?

Absolute dopes commentating on rte for the hurling

Brian codys a great manager doesn't throw on subs even though game effectively over...makes them earn there place in training

10 mins later same game....codys a great manager to give the subs a run out that the game is effectively over...rest the main players :rolleyes:

While Cody is a great manager and kk team is v.good the commentators on rte appear to think the sun shines outta this whole :mad:

All sports punditry is pointless nonsense.

They constantly contradict themselves and switch opinions every few minutes. Pre and post game analysis is pointless because it adds nothing and talking about what people should do/should have done is redundant.

There is far too much coverage given to sport in all forms of media when all that really matters is the actual event taking place, when it is taking place.

The amount of dead animals on the road.
Had to drive to wicklow yesterday.
Lost count of the amount of foxes, badgers, hedghogs, rabbits and birds mashed up or dead on the road.
It makes me so sad.

That will do it.;)

Sitting behind someone on the bus and I can see they're on boards on their phone. Nearly dislocated my neck trying to get a "nonchalant" look at what forum they were on so I could stalk them on my phone whilst sitting behind them hehe. Boardsies should have a secret hand shake or something. Oh how sad I am.

My Mam does the opposite

"Oh no my son looks after all the internet stuff here"
"Can I talk to him?"
"No he doesn't live here"

Salesman leaves looking very confused.

Friends forcing kids on you. F**k off, I wanted to see you, not have you dragging your kids along without telling me. Shouldn't my lack of kids and interest in same, be a clue to you? Pisses me off the way some people try to force you to love their kids.

Same just substitute other half for "kids"

One last TA for today; people who eat soup and their tongue comes out to meet the spoon before the spoon even enters their mouth.. And people who pick their teeth publicly.. Eww

TA that in my sleepy haze this morning I washed my hair with shower gel and put on an un-ironed shirt. I look like Worzel Gummidge (look him up kids).

You think that's bad. I once sprayed flippen WD40 under my arms one very cold dark hungover winter morning. That woke me up anyway. Why I had a can of WD40 beside my bed in the first place is a different story.

Since when is than an American term? Not trying to be snarky, I've just never thought of it as such or noticed it as a thing Americans say.

Am minding my seven year old niece today and she's going through a phase of telling jokes every two seconds. She keeps asking me to tell her some, how many jokes have I been told down over the years and I can't remember one! Literally none! Had to google some but they were mostly inappropriate lol

My nephew is the same - I got him a massive joke book a few weeks ago, found it upstairs in TK MAX was only €8.99 , over 1,000 jokes in it. He loved it!! his parents not so much..........;)

I opened windows and doors yesterday, to get a very annoying kamikaze Blue Bottle out.

The Blue Bottle had the good sense to oblige me and leave.

I close all the windows and doors.

And I end up with three Blue Bottles inside. :mad:

That first blue bottle was only keeping you busy while the other 3 took your house keys and made a copy

People who live off others making themselves out to be the victims eg the McCanns and Steven O'Riordan. Not so trivial I suppose.

Annoyed that I got into a tug of war over the shared curtain on the bus this morning with a man in his late 60's.:mad: He got on at the stop after mine and pulled my curtain, which I'd clearly positioned to shut out the sun directly burning my face. He yanked it forward, so I pulled some back. This continued for about 20 minutes before I called him Buddy and pointed out that it was a shared curtain.

His response was to mutter something and yank it forward, buttoning it on the catch, my response was to yank it back and hold it against the window with my elbow for the rest of the journey so he couldn't steal the whole curtain. FFS, I did not need this as part of my 4 hour round trip for a 10 minute outpatient appointment.
