St. Patrick's Day parades.
Got too many drenchings and perishings at them as a nipper. Still scarred.

Roaring at players at matches.

"Red" sauce.

I'm not a massive meat eater anyway which doesn't help.
I'll eat all the corn on the cob though, which has its own "after effects".

Any boring "gripping" British drama that you just have to watch. Line of duty, Doctor Foster, bodyguard. Stale acting with such a tight grip on me I'm falling asleep. I mean really, the premise of these shows is all just some variation on the theme of Duty against all odds, boring af.

I abhor cop shows, always have, with the exception of The Wire because it's the only one doesn't portray a completely unrealistic vision of the police as these morally pure, clever, brave heroes.

Restaurants and takeaways.

Would rather have a homecooked meal any day. Full control of ingredients, portion size, temperature, seasoning, and service.

Eating out can be be so hit or miss. Would rather eat at home and catch up with someone for coffee instead.

freshpopcorn · 12-05-2021 2:22pm

I'm not the biggest fan of eating out either I just find the whole thing very formal and uncomfortable.

*Curried Chips*

what is it with the irish obsession about curried chips??? is it an irish creation? never seen it any other country not even next door in the UK, i bet even in asia they don't have it...its disgusting it looks disgusting when i'm in a takeaway and someone ahead of me is getting it and i see the server pouring it on i feel queasy in the stomach nearly makes want to turn on my heel and leave:(

Yuk!!

Don't ever go to the Netherlands then. Chips there come with the choice of a bewildering array of sauces, including curry, but one of the weirdest ones is patat oorlog (war chips) which comes with mayonnaise, peanut sauce and chopped onions. Quite nice really

The first few chips are great. But the chips below become a soggy, sloppy mess. Completey ruins the majority of the chips.

Get some chips and a tub of curry sauce. Dip away to your hearts content. Get that great chip and curry sauce flavour without ruining 90% of your chips.

Get an extra bag of chips and add them to the mix ... sorted

I disagree but as homecooking is so much healthier id love to be able to agree.

People calling themselves their dog or cat's parent. Like "I'm a dog mom" or similar. Not unless you're an actual bitch in the canine sense you didn't physically give birth to your dog. They're your pet, you're their owner.

Yeh soccer, great to play but horrific to watch. Was into it when younger but like WWF wrestling grew out of it.

People who are into it generally talk more about the soap opera that accompanies with it than the game itself. Don't get me started on the fans that say we when they refer top the English team they support.

Splitting bills based on what you ate is horrible.

Maybe with people drinking and other people not there is an argument for it. You do get the occasional lad who will order 3 main courses, various sides and 3 nans for himself at an Indian.

Still for me it is undignified to start counting up based who ate what etc. during a social outing.

I hate this too, for the sake of a couple of euro.
I did the penny pinching thing a few years ago when out for dinner with a friend and her husband. She and I were both driving so just had a jug of water at the table. He drank four pints washed down with whisky with his food.
When we were finished he suggested splitting the bill 3 ways...!!!! He was told where to go!!

Soccer - it's the best sport

The "Boss" is the OG champagne socialist. Decent music back in the day, but hypocrisy 101 for the most part.

Johnny Cash is the true American hero for me.

And on that note of champagne socialist; Michael D. Not that I have any real opinion on him one way or the other, I just don't get the love.

His dogs are great though.

2lazytogetup · 20-05-2021 6:26pm

museums. see some artifact that was dug up that is six thousand years old.

queueing

accumulating stuff. being a collector of stamps, or soccer match programs, or a lego set that you think will be worth many euro in 10 years time.
harry potter, game of thrones,
chinese takeaways - make me feel sick afterwards. though been about 20 years since i had one so not sure if that has changed.

people that get fat and lazy (note irony of my username). but how hard is it to spend a couple of hours walking at night. weight will fall off. doing this walking would probably make them want to eat healthier.

Ah g'way would ya. For most people spending a couple of hours walking a night is luxury time they don't have. I know some will always find an excuse, but it's not as simple as you say and unfair to ridicule for it.

Most new Irish houses, invariably look sh1t.

Tasteless bits that people slap on to their existing houses like a crap modified car job:
Fancy bargeboards in PVC.
Fake shutters, especially the comically tiny ones on large windows.
Concrete classical columns, sometimes installed upside down.
Lego set PVC front doors.
Fake stone cladding a la the Duckworths in Corrie.
Gardens crammed with cheap concrete statues.

I have a mate in the antique/garden statue trade that does sh1t concrete statues, cherubs, milk maids and alpine shepherd boys and they are his biggest seller. They ignore quality antiques and buy this worthless shyte.
