    I just let rip with a proper, wet, cheek clapper of a fart. The ****ing fent of the thing would strip the walls of the shop back to the blockwork.
    Oh, it would be like cabbage, nappies and fish all tied up in a black back, left in summer's heat for a week then opened in a car you can't get out of.
    Let's see them stick that..

    People who don’t turn off their headlights when they’re coming towards you.


    Also people who drive over the white line on country roads. Stay on your own side ffs, there’s enough space over there like

    Last summer I had a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Belgium.

    The inbound flight was late over one hour, meh no big deal. We went through the gate and right at the steps the crew told us to go back inside, our plane was being switched to Dublin Manchester. Talk about last minute cancellation, they cancelled our flight when the passengers were on the steps. So the plane was fine, fit to fly just they took it off us and gave it others

    Left Dublin over 4 hours late and arrived in Belgium near 1:30am and last bus was gone. Spent an uncomfortable night on the floor

    My TA is lies !!!!! Sent my EU261 claim form with my Ryanair letter confirming the delay and was told "airport closure" so we pay you nada. Dublin was never closed. I gave my case to a claim company that do the work and take a cut. Again Ryanair state "airport closure"

    Why you lie? To quote the mammy at this stage I'm not even angry, just disappointed that somebody would do this :confused:

    I think they reject everyone a few times hoping people give up

    Yep, thats how they operate, you're an inconvenience to them, and they'll drag things out until you go away. No personal experience with Ryanair, but with their sh!ttier rival, Aer Lingus. A particularly low moment was when my father was very sick a few years ago (thankfully back in good health now), and they refused to change a flight to the US two months out from the departure as pretty much 'the computer says no.' It was at a stage when we weren't sure if he'd see out that year, but we wanted to at least move it out to a date where he might have been able to fly if treatment worked. Wasn't looking for a freebie, just wanted flexibility on the dates, but may as well have been talking to a brick wall.

    Aer Lingus also left my bag behind in Dublin once, took over 6 months and some arguing for them to reimburse me 40 quid for jocks, socks and toiletries I had to buy to tide me over until my bag arrived

    Another thing that seriously annoys me is people not washing their hands after using the Jack's. There is a sink and soap there for a reason :mad::mad:

    When sports correspondents/commentators refer to Celtic as 'Glasgow Celtic'. The correct title is Celtic Football Club. After all you don't refer to Arsenal as London Arsenal. :confused:

    There is a woman that I work with, I get along great with her. But she has a habit of standing very close to me and rubbing her boobs off me.
    I've been watching to see if she does this with others as well, I haven't noticed it.
    Boobs are great and all, but I prefer honka honka'ing them instead of them being brushed off me.

    TA as to why they pronounce it as seltik and not Keltic as is the proper pronunciation for that word

    Ah be honest, wasn't that his real name all along?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,530 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail

    Because the word originally came from the french celtique which is pronounced with a soft C. The hard C pronunciation came later.

    The cycles of boob talk that seem to hit this thread every few weeks. It's a bit bizarre. Like being in primary school again.

    Also, the person who accidentally put a decaf pod in the coffee machine in work this morning, obviously realised their mistake but then just left it in there and used the other machine instead, necessitating ten minutes with a knife and spoon to get it out before I could make mine.

    My yearly complaint about chilblains! Horrible itchy burning sore bastards on my toes caused by the drop in temperature. Thought I had escaped them this year but no such luck. Anyone who suffers will feel my pain

    All stemmed from a Greek word, that's not in doubt

    Regardless of where the word Celtic came from, when Fr Walfrid and others formed Celtic FC, they wanted a name which would resonate with both the Irish immigrants and the native Scots. I have read that the original pronunciation was intended to be the hard K but that never took hold and the soft C pronunciation was used almost immediately.

    My TA: Rangers FC (to keep the post on topic!)

    The excessive number of ad breaks on US TV shows, and the shows that do a 30s recap of what happened in the last segment. Do Americans have a really short attention span?

    MOLF Hunter has just been added to my TA list!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,204 ✭✭✭Kitty6277


    Not really a TA, but it feels strange. I’m still in the group chat for the flat in Leeds, and today (I think) a new girl moved in, to replace me, obviously. I know it’s not my flat because I moved out and all that, but it still feels a little weird, to think of someone else being in “my” room

    So among the list of all these annoying “challenges” that seem to be flooding social media of late apparently there’s a new one doing the rounds inspired by Bird Box on Netflix where you try and drive your car blindfolded!!!
    “Bird Box challenge” it’s called. Absolute thicks! Darwin awards challenge more like

    10 year challenge is another one. It's not really a challenge having to root out a photo off social media from 10 years ago, is it?

    Most of these make me sad because it just highlights how much work people have had done on their faces. Also the way they speak about their younger selves “ugh state of me yuck”. You were lovely shut up.

    TA for today - waiters/ waitresses just waiting for the second you finish your cup of coffee/ tea etc so they can take the cup. Or the other one, walking by looking into the cup to see are you finished just so they can swipe it. :mad:
