    Formula 1 people saying "for sure".

    Think this is more of a European thing. Seems to be common among people whose first language is not English and most prominent in German and Spanish speaking drivers. Must be a translation thing.

    Nothing more annoying than members providing lots of feedback and then getting no feedback in return.

    I hate how lager makes my nose all stuffed.
    It ONLY happens with lager and it's bloody annoying as I do like it.

    Milk does that to me. Couldn't breathe 100% fully for the first 25 years of my life before realising what was causing it.

    Going to see machines with the boys and they spend hours inspecting every tiny little detail. Boring!

    And if we look at something in a shop for more than 2 or 3 minutes they start whinging:mad::pac:

    Annoyed at myself for watching 2 and a half episodes of Narcos while hungover. My brain is melted now from reading subtitles.

    I get trivially annoyed when I see that a new thread has been started in AH, about a topic on which I would love to give my opinion, and my instinct is to open it up and reply - but then I see that the thread already has, like, twenty replies, and sure by post #21 who's even ready other people's posts anymore? :pac:

    Todays breakfast fry netted a negative return after logistical considerations, manufacturing costs, opportunity costs and environmental cleanup.

    Total defecit from the operation is expected to be (negative) 3 smiles.

    This negative return equates to 1.5 sausages.

    Management is expected to return to the previous cornflakes based system as a result.

    I feel like that after being dragged around town for hours into all the clothes shops, then waiting ages while my wife tries on a load of outfits, and after all that then when it's about ten to six and the shops are all closing -

    Me: "I just want to see what they have in Currys / Woodies / wherever?"

    OH: "Well don't be too long now because my legs are very tired"... :eek:


    Well they would be like when we've been walking round town all day looking at your stuff! :rolleyes:

    Similarly, barbers doing the same when, on "finishing" your hair, they ask you "Is that okay?" and you tell them in the nicest way possible that no, it's not okay, every so politely suggesting to them that you need them to do a small amount of further work on it. They look at you as if they are the most important barber in the world and that they have better things to be doing and that you should be grateful they're even giving you the time of day and how DARE you suggest that they did not do something 100% perfectly - something you're paying them to do. Ego-central.

    You should watch "pyjama girls," it's a very interesting look at this phenomenon. If you're going to get all worked up over what strangers wear, it's only fair to try to see why they do it.

    Don't encourage the skanks, they dress like that because they are lazy skanks with little or no self-respect.:p

    People who monopolise foot paths, they should be horsewhipped. There's a new walking group locally who use the same route I use. Now that sounds ok, until you find yourself stuck behind upwards of 20 women in a block, sauntering along at a snails pace blocking off the foot path and you can't pass them because the road is too busy. Ladies, cop on to yourselves, you're out for a gossip not exercise. Then there's the cyclists on foot paths, oh I do hope there's a circle of hell just for those people. Last week there was a man and his 2 teenage sons blocking a section of foot path with their bikes.

    I actually had to ask them to move because they'd stop to take a bizarre fcuking interest in the Dunnes stores tokens poster:confused: Saying 'oh sorry' when I point out that it's a foot path and you're blocking it is no fricking good, especially when I had to walk on the road to get past because they were still not moving aside. What kind of dick head father takes his kids out cycling at night with no helmets, no lights on their bikes and no hi viz clothing:confused::mad:

    People, groups of people, groups of stupid silly silly people who seem to think that doorways were invented as a place for them to congregate and chat.

    Cars that don't stop at pedestrian crossings.

    Having a bunged up nose.

    Rob Kearney's fake tan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭miezekatze


    That stupid kiddie train in liffey valley shopping centre. What a great idea to run this thing through a crowded shopping centre that's like a corridor anyway.

    Pretty sure it's just freckles and a farmer's tan.

    Loving your food so much that you can't stop eating but then you feel really sick! This is a regular occurrence for me. I'm so greedy :O

    Always, always have coffee mate in the house. It lasts forever, and with water, hell no one will know in the morn, sleepy. Give me my weetabix!

    Lesson learned, as I did.

    "I wanted to tell you something."
    "Oh, really? What is it?"
    "I forgot.."

    Grr :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,835 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    The phrase "on point".

    It makes my ears cry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,180 ✭✭✭✭One eyed Jack


    Boards was going so well for the last couple of hours :(

    Also, 'Sex and the City' for the umpteenth time, about the only good thing about is Jennifer Hudson...

    Nope, even she isn't enough to make it watchable, early to bed for me :(

    Ads for what it felt like every 2 minutes for final episode of This is England. I even gave it a 10 minute head start so I could forward through the ads, but caught up in no time at all. I'm gone so used to watching downloaded stuff, haven't watched anything actually on the telly for a long time.

    I watched episode 1 last night. It was a little cringeworthy at times TBH....but that is probably down to Meadow's love of the Madchester music scene. Will binge watch the rest this week.

    There's a radio station in the UK called Capital, completely mainstream and mostly crap. I know every commercial station has a limited playlist and they're paid to ensure certain songs are in rotation x amount of times during the day. But these guys take the piss. Their Scottish station has played Justin Bieber latest one every morning (Mon-Fri) for the last 3 weeks at 8:20am.

    I normally walk to work but due to a foot strain I've been jumping in the car with the OH when she leaves.
