That was the first thing that popped into my head when I read it.

Carverys are another thing i hate. Even the name carvery sounds awful.
You pick your wet tray up, there is no such thing as a dry tray in a carvery as they always seem to be fresh out of the dish washer.
Then your scanning the servers. Usually 2-3 people dressed as chefs holding knives way sharper than they need to be. And you know they are despising the dithering masses as they hurry them on, always the big hurry to get you out of the way. You feel under pressure to choose and as soon as your settling in with a couple of items on your plate and you think the guy is on the same lines as you he passes the plate to chef2 who is always a grumpier chef than the initial one and hes rushing you all over again.
Its a terrible experience the carvery.

I have had Cork friends for many, many years and I still have no clue what they are trying to communicate when they say "How bad".

Was going to the Odeon at the Point earlier and got the Luas from Busaras. The people on it and getting on heading in that direction were the worst crowd of people I have ever come across. It was like being on a Paris metro with Chelsea fans. I was thinking fuck me what is on in the 3 Arena that is drawing this bunch. Turns out it was Premier League Darts.

Go to browns barn, they give your bit o meat then let you take as much as you want from the veg etc, the only stipulation is you run a jcloth over the trays.

Speaking of da Darts Hotspur, a few years ago after a round of golf in city west my mate talked me into going to watch the fookin darts live. . I sat the drinking my pint then all of a sudden all these fat fuckers on a speedie downward descent to death started dancing on my table and singing that infernal tune , the one that makes ole ole ole sounds like a classical masterpiece. Wtf Darts people get off the fucking table . Gonna make a sign

[TheDrunkenOne]

1. people who breathe through their mouth
2. people who sniffle and snuffle constantly instead of blowing their fucking nose

add your own....

3. People using them effin big golf umbrellas when not playing golf!
4. Waiting to enter traffic and drivers obviously looking away from you so as not to let you out.
5. Using a finger to block one nasal passage and expel the other on the ground

[Solskjaer]

When you are going through a door and say hi to the person coming the other way and they don't say hi back. What the fck is with that? (I haven't described this irritant quite right. Its not quite two people simply passing by each other, one saying hi and the other not responding, its that they don't respond when you are both in each others personal space out of necessity of the circumstance). Same deal when you are exiting a lift at the same time as another person is entering.

don't take it to heart, a lot of us are like the walking dead, I walked past da mudder in town one day and she roaring at me. I'd like to think that rather than people are just cunts.

why so?

[6starpool]

I think I read it wrong.

I thought when you said you had only one you that (given the rest of your post) you meant you had only one bank card but you had quoted entirely the wrong posts when making your point.

I've just realised though that you meant you had only one pet peeve, so carry on.

I have about a million pet peeves so I won't even bother listing any of them.

[RichieM]

People who call me and say they are just looking to touch base, reach out, get on my radar etc and proceed to dance around for a bit. Just get to the point in ordinary English. Pretty sure this pisses everyone of tho.

My smaller pet hate is cyclists who fly through junctions on the cycle lanes when they have a yellow light. This means green for pedestrian crossing and have nearly been killed a few times. Also cyclists who move ahead of cars at ordinary lights into the middle the pedestrian crossing lane.

My final annoyance is why do fresh herbs come in such large quantities and why does a mixed bag not exist.

Cyclists.

[ComradeCollie]

Also cyclists who move ahead of cars at ordinary lights into the middle the pedestrian crossing lane.

That's inspired by the geniuses who paint a cycle lane, across the entire lane at most traffic lights. I'm more pissed at the 3% of cyclists that don't break red lights ( when it's safe to do so), and insist on slowing down all other traffic.

[ArmaniJeans]

My smaller pet hate is cyclists who fly through junctions on the cycle lanes when they have a yellow light.

Cars do this as well, lots of pedestrian lights in Fingal where cars have an orange whilst pedestrians have a flashing green. Drivers (and cyclists) seem to see their orange as a go.

Also cyclists who move ahead of cars at ordinary lights into the middle the pedestrian crossing lane.

Hmmm, I actually do this on a bicycle but didn't realised it caused hassle if I do it slowly.
Its a safety thing really - at a red light you don't want to be caught in the line between two lanes parallel to cars/vans/buses who may not be aware of you and whose indicator lights you cant see, so for security you go ahead of them which means nudging your way through the crossing pedestrians.

[Solskjaer]

My biggest pet peeve is 'bluefuckingbottles'. Especially when you are lying half dead at 5 am on a sunny summers morning after a feed of drink (in the spare room mind you ) and you are not due to rise till 12.00. They always head for the ear. buzz buzz get the fook outa the bed buzz buzz, bet you can't kill me with a rolled up newspaper, buzz buzz.
why do you have a sock beside you in the bed? buzz buzz
Ya have to get up and kill the yoke , waking the whole house who think you have lost your mind with all the swatting and missing / racket. In the winter I sleep peacefully till the footie starts. Also cyclist who are not me.

[BennyHiFi]

People who say 'them' instead of 'those'.

'Are you eating them carrots?'

I'd be guilty of this one. Sorry.

Also occasionally guilty of 'are ya atin' thon carrit?'

I read a post earlier that I tawt was very good but I forgot to wrap a thanks around it. Now I've gone back to it and lots of peoples have thanked it I feel now it would look like I'd only be jumping on the bandwagon. The truth couldn't be further away but I'm not sure what to do now for the best. Fook it I'm gonna thank it.

Must head, but a last thought after a month off cigs (one two-day hiccup aside, eek, but quickly recovered from without any hassle).

You just do not notice you aren't smoking with the vape. I can't imagine ever choosing cigarettes again after making the switch. Its a vastly better experience. Really you aren't actually quitting, but more upgrading to a deluxe more enjoyable model of nicotine inhalation. And long may it continue.

Says a lot though for the power of this new connected society. There was govs and pharma pouring billions into nicotine replacement over decades, and then this cottage industry sprung up almost overnight and overpowered them all.

well, you see, it's like this. This looks like a town full of assholes.

Somehow went to the darts tonight - felt like I was betraying my middle class heritage just being there! A different world... I have to admit - it was great craic! The singing for no reason, the drinking, the gambling, the ignoring the game to have the laugh, it was a lot of fun. Could definitely be convinced to go again.

Checked your history for last post thanked and then thanked it without reading then I read it, and it was spot on, If I ever go to one, its one where the staff are sound and at only 12, none of that one o clock rush bullshit

I'm a bit late to the party, but I watched Interstellar on the bus down to Dublin today.

SPOILER

I thought it was very good for the most part. Got emotionally involved in it so I think that covered up a few of the cracks. It could have been a lot shorter by taking out some unnecessary scenes, or deciding to end it about 40 minutes from the end, but I really would have liked it to be exactly 13 minutes shorter. When Murph showed her brother the watched, he should have taken it off her and smashed it on the ground. Would have been a better ending rather than dragging it out for no real reason.

Having a nightmare over on Betfair.

I had two large unmatched bets on the betfair - same market, two win bets on both options.
I wanted to adjust my stake and odds, I couldn't change both together, so I opted to cancel the bets.
Only one of the bets was refunded to my account. At first I thought I was maybe mistaken and I had lost more than I thought recently

But my main wallet now has less in it than the two bets combined. I don't think its possible to use the other wallet for this market.

Anybody ever experience this?

Good Morning folks,

Would anyone have a phone number for Ciaran Corbett? i urgently need to discuss something with him, even if you dont want to give out his number maybe just ask him to check his PMs.

Thankyou

[CHDad]

I know its a standard story they want to spin for the families about 'they probably wouldn't have even been aware anything was wrong until the last moment', but the apparent fact that the locked out pilot was using an axe to try to break down the door would presumably have alerted some of the more savvy flyers that something wasn't quite right.

The weirdest thing about it all is the absolutely retarded lock system in place that was thought to be optimal.

[LuckyLloyd]

While it's obviously no laughing matter, I must confess some amusement at how ill equipped journalist after journalist are proving to be when it comes to describing the crash site in the Alps. My favourite efforts are the grand 'not even a torn shoe could be found to signify a victim had once existed' attempts.

The best description I read? One of the first responders in a 'rescue' helicopter: "pieces of bodies, leaves a mark on you". Got it.

[Emmet]

Pretty much is tbh. If a pilot wants to take a plane down he's probably going to manage it.

An airhostess stepping into the cabin while the other pilot goes for a slash isn't going to change things either.

Guest on Morning Ireland there speaking sense (well seemed sensible to me) that EU operators rolling out new procedures lickity spit that involve not leaving a pilot on his own are a cause for concern in that they need to provide training and work new processes through.
