What about people who say holibobs?
To be fair, I do that soley to annoy people for badness.
Cause I'm on my holibobs and they're not.
Do you use the air con when you're on your holibobs?

Depends how hot it is at night. When I'm on my holibobs I don't want to spend it in the hotel room during the day as what's the point on going on holibobs.

Hollibobs? Jaysus that's fuckin thick.

Dentists: the second hand car salesmen of the 'medical' profession....

Got the first part of a gum treatment done last Saturday. Not so bad, bit painful/uncomfortable. Went to the reception to pay. She quoted me full whack so I said "I think that my PRSI covers some of it" - I had already asked this over the phone when I made the appointment and they had agreed that it was covered. So she checked "Yes, PRSI covers 40% of the treatment". Then she quoted me a figure that was less then the original price but not 40% cheaper. So I queried it again.

"The treatment is done in four quadrants, they did two today. PRSI only covers 40% of one quadrant per year".

"I'm getting the other two done next Saturday. So I have to pay full price next week?"

"Yes".

I've been working full-time for 22 years and I've never claimed anything on PRSI before. Bit of a low return.

Yeah, PRSI is infinite amounts in, fuck all back.
Tax by another name

I'm sure I've voiced this one before,  but the phrase 'SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!', usually spouted by the hateful likes of James Corden or that goofy Frankenstein looking yoke,  Miranda, makes me unreasonably pissed off.

Couldn't agree more, James corden always reminds of the annoying bastard in work that is always to full of energy early in the morning and never shuts the fuck up

Calling the application of basic cop-on a "life hack"

I have zero interest in talking about football but this seems a bit over the top.

Several years ago when the Game of Thrones tv show came out I was working with a few heads who talked about nothing- NOTHING!- but Game of Thrones from eight in the morning till half four.  It was fucking tedious.  I lost my shit one day and told them to fuck up about it and have a discussion about any other topic than that fucking tv show so they stared talking about books  instead- the fucking Game of Thrones books! Boring,  boring cunts.  I haven't watched the show to this day.

That thing about the football chat is equally absurd and alarming.  Insinuating that talking about 'the match' is somehow sexist. Come off it. If anything, the idea is fairly offensive to women who do like soccer and the likes.

Footballers religious gestures. All the blessing themselves, kissing their wrists and fingers and all that guff. Who do ye think ye are codding lads?

I watched the first series and a bit, but abandoned it because it's ultimately generic fantasy shite and you'd be better off telling some people you deal heroin to kids than not watch GoT.

:laugh: I love the show and the books, and the thoughts of you flipping the lid in that scenario gave me a good chuckle on this otherwise miserable day  :laugh:
