I often start my sentences with ''So'' and it's fairly common in Cork, I often do it when I'm writing a post online too, I don't even think of it to be honest.

Yeh I got into the habit after a few years in cork, it does seem to be a thing there. It's not as annoying as the "insert like into every sentence" thing they do though, that one took a while to get my head round (like)!

These aren't Corkonians (is that right) some are professional people on the radio being interviewed, and every answer starts with "So" when the next word is the word that should start the sentence.

Don't mean to be rude, but what does that 'TA' thing stand for ? I've seen it in a few postings now

I'm not from Cork and I have a terrible habit of doing it. I generally start a story with "So, anyway". WTF? It annoys me terribly as I think it makes me sound like an airhead. But I can't stop.

People behind you in a queue who stand beside you

I had that in Lidl a couple of weeks ago. I started to get paranoid that he was an undercover security guard waiting to nab me for shoplifting (I hadn't taken anything, promise!). Every time the conveyor belt moved I'd take a step forward and so would he. Stand bedside your own shopping, freaky man!

I had one at a self service till in Tesco recently. At one stage I thought she was going to grab my stuff and run she was getting so close but it wasn't even like I was buying good stuff, all she would have got was 2 ready meals and 4 multi packs of hula hoops...

Crack it open ta fúck

Walking down the main street where the road is oneway (so logically only enough room for one car on the road).
I keep noticing fools who walk two abreast on the narrow foot walk, walking towards you, AND DON'T MOVE INTO SINGLE FILE TO LET ANYONE PAST.
When a car is coming, you can't step out on to road to avoid the two numb blaggers on the foot walk so you need to walk up to them and stand in their way instead of being hit by a car, while THEY scowl at you.
Does my head in!

My village is so small that my own conversations get repeated back to me by someone else within 24 hours.

My mam took little whitewinged to playschool yesterday. I was talking to her about how it always feels really cold outside the school. It just seems really windy there.Then today, when I was outside the school, I was talking to one of the kids grandads, Mick, who told me that "for some reason it's always very cold waiting outside this school". I said "that's funny, I only said that to my mam before she came here yesterday " and he said "oh that's your mam, ye she's the one who said it to me"

What is it about drivers here and fog lights, are they not capable of turning them on. Came upon four drivers this morning without them on.

I find they're worse for not turning them off. Or grasping the concept that they're not needed when sitting in a line of traffic and only serve to dazzle the driver behind them.

That is true. No excuse for them being left on in heavy city traffic. But in fog on a country motorway no excuse not to turn them on.

Watching The Restaurant on TV3. The people they invite to eat in the restaurant and discuss the food are all hideous. Where do they pull them out of ? Are they all D4 prigs ?

Are you in Dublin? If so you should try the "country".

Any car popular with the elderly - Jukes, ix35s, Qashqais, Fluences etc. - are usually to be seen in the hours of darkness with fog lights and (front) DRLs only. No main or rear lights. In conditions of poor visibility then the fog lights - otherwise known as pothole lights - must be off.

I didn't get the job

Late reply, but can't sympathise more. I went for a relatively basic but handy enough job as a service officer in the Civil Service last year - spent a week writing & tweaking with the application form to get it as well written as possible, another week prepping for the interview I got, then €200 on a badly needed suit. Also figured being in the Army Reserve would stand to me a huge amount, and the interview went very well. Got the rejection email a week later. Fking livid I was.

Yes I am in the country

Netflix.. Everyone is banging on about bloody Netflix and calling any films on the web or on demand from Virgin/Sky etc "Netflix"...

Was outside HMV in Henry St finishing a smoke and overheard one half of a late 20 something couple say "let's go in and see what Netflix they have on disc"...

I think I actually said FFS outloud!

If that happens at a self service till, dump your bag back down after you have the receipt and change..

"Unknown item in bagging area".. Might teach them patience when the have to wait 5 mins for somebody to reset it.

I had another sh1te broken sleep last night yet again. I had this really disturbing dream , Kylie Minogues voice was in my ear like she was right beside me, and she was singing David Bowie's Space Oddity. It was so vivid it woke me up, and all I could think was although I'm not a fan, how messed up it would be if I woke up to the news that she had died too

Medusa22 · 11-02-2016 11:01AM

At the airport waiting for my connecting flight. I connected to my hour of free wifi and my battery died so I went to get breakfast, eventually I found a place to charge my phone and my free hour was up

My OH is doing an arrow word so I stole her phone to browse boards
