Trivial things that annoy you part 8191.1

It has been dry all day here. While going in on the bus to bring the little one into Winterval, it starts p1ssing rain. Stupid weather I'm pig sick of it now at this stage:(

Just **** vigorously then? :pac:

Gotta let the redness die down :pac:

So I had to deal with two institutions of the State today and this is how it went...

- I got some forms from A.

- I had to then go to B to get a form signed & stamped, so I could then bring said form back to A.

- When I got to B, they told me that they don't supply the form and that A should have already given me the form.

- So I have to traverse the heavy Christmas traffic back to A and bring this form back to B. Of course A offered no apology for not giving me the form in the first place.

- When I get back to B with the form, B then informs me that they won't be able to sign it because I had met previous certain criteria.

- And since B can't sign & stamp the form. B then told me they will post a letter out to me, informing me that they can't sign the form for A.

- I will then have to bring this letter from B back to A, so A can then acknowledge it and see that B couldn't sign the form for me.

Of course it makes you wonder, since B knew all along how this was going to work our for me. Was printing off this letter there and then beyond the machinations of the State?

Yes this is the complete pile of horseshít I had to endure today. What kind of fúcktards invent this stuff? I've come across some bureaucratic nonsense in my life but this brings it to a new level.

It also brings me back to that old saying - "The English invented bureaucracy, but the Irish mastered it."

Can we start a "Trivial things that make you piss yourself laughing at" thread just for this.....

Who has achieved greater in their respective sport? His opponent José was undisputed champ for 10 years and hailed as a p4p great the same cannot be said in the case of any of our great boxing champs, our wonderful line of jockies have never had such defining career wins, our athletes likewise have never defeated such lauded opponents. So who else is there? Our golfers? And remember I said individual sporting achievement so team sports don't count.

Our boxers have not defeated such dominant champs. Harrington's achievements are most definitely a worthy comparison and arguably better but as av stand out individual moment I'd rate mcgregors achievement above it. MMA is a very large sport world wide considering it incorporates such a variety of other sports and just because it could be considered to be not massively popular in Ireland it is pretty massive worldwide. Mcgregor will arguably be our most recognisable sports star for the next few years. Do the same volume of people know who Padraig Harrington is outside of Ireland and the uk?
With regards to jockies as much as I love horse racing the individual is not solely responsible the horse plays a major role also the races we consider to be the best (gold cup, grand national etc.) are not considered to be the best world wide. National hunt racing is concentrated mainly to Ireland and the uk. Flat racing is arguably a more recognisable sport on a world scale.
I know this is a controversial opinion but to label it as laughable without offering any evidence to back it up is quite ignorant. This victory has sent shock waves world wide and the monetary rewards are huge in a global sense aswell, like it or not this is one of the biggest individual achievements in Irish sport

Tony McCoy trumps McGregor in his achievements and has had much worse injuries and continued than McGregor will prob ever have to deal with

**** off to the MMA forum.

Just after waking up from a nap and I got really confused. I came off nights yesterday morning and I'm on days next week. I thought it was 7.30am and that I was late for work. I'm not even working tomorrow. :rolleyes: I was very very very confused and disorientated.

I'm approaching to pass you and your foor legged friend is 15 ft. in front of you. Pull your dog in! :mad:

..and don't twitch in surprise when I give you dirty looks about it!

I have to go see Star Wars
