Pet Peeves

[Kurt Cocaine]

Classy af.... 

[Pedrito]

He's exactly the way I pictured him then  how could an Eddie Harrington be anyway else. Probably lives on Jambons.

He wouldn't be what you'd call the most sophisticated of lads, no. But he is a constant source of comedy material.

He gave a guy from here a lift home one Friday a few years back. Halfway up the road he says "Fuck it! I must order me Chinese."

Calls the number on the hands-free.

"Hello Golden Lotus"

"Ting Pei?"

"Mr. Eddie! You want to order?"

"Please, love. Chicken curry, NO VEG, with chips, chicken balls in batter, chicken ball batter, curry sauce, ribs."

"20 minutes Mr. Eddie".

The other lad in the car says to him "You know you ordered chicken balls in batter twice?"

"No, I ordered chicken ball batter, just the batter"

"Is that a thing?"

"They know me"

"Doesn't sound healthy, Eddie"

"Do you wanna fuckin' walk the rest of the way?"

this guy sounds amazing

The government's "see we really are sound" music that is in the back of the TV Licence "terms and conditions of living in Ireland" ad. Was in lidl earlier and noticed it's also being used behind the "wear a mask" message. Regardless of one's thoughts about TV licences or masks, it's an awful song.

On that note, LIDL now having music playing is a big step backwards.

The same tunes play in the pharmacy where I work, and also in the shopping centre it's in. Also in dunnes in the same centre. Also in tesco and now lidl. There's no escape!

The actual state of the sort of Musak they had in Dunnes back when I worked there (about 12 years ago now), especially when they peppered in the christmas cuts that were actually some lad playing instrumental xmas staples on a casio keyboard with a sleighbell going off over them.  It was complete cruelty to work listening to it, especially by the time it got up to christmas week, where the casio songs outnumbered the rest of the music 5-1 and there were a minimum of 24 pallets of stock a day to break down for the shop floor.  I still have vivid memories of the 12 days of christmas blasting out with 80s synth trumpets doing the vocals, while I shuffled pallets around like one of those moving-tile puzzles you get as a kid, and colleagues walking across the top of shelves to spot shiteing christmas decorations or usb hot water bottles or some pathetic shit to hand out to a roaring manager.  The music cemented these bad vibe memories forever.

I remember doing the Woolworths Christmas job waaay back in 1997.
The Smurfs Christmas album was put on. Christmas songs sung by the Smurfs. Only had 9 songs and it was on repeat.
All fucking day.

Ah jaysus. Reminds me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm ep where yer one was getting done in by the looney tunes jingle day in day out

Ihhhh'llll sssshhhhheeeeeehhhhnnndd ahhhn Eehhhsssshhhhh Ohhh Ehhhhhhhssssshhhhhh tooo the whoooorrrrrhhhllllld....

I just heard that. Fucking hell. Machine Head's cover was better that that.

[Eoin McLove]

 

I actually liked the MH version back then.

[Carnage]

As did I. Sssh, don't tell anyone.

[astfgyl]

Yeah, back then... I confess

[Carnage]

Fuck it, if we're confessing... I still like it. Their cover of Hard Times is brilliant too, better than the original IMO.

[astfgyl]

Dunno about Message in a Bottle but Hard Times is indeed still decent

[Kunt 4 Life]

I like their version of message in a bottle.

I worked in McDonalds as a squeaky voiced teen and lets just say after a week of listening to the top 10 on repeat I "sabotaged" the cd player with a Large Sprite. Luckily the manager was a stickler for keeping costs down so it was only the dulcet tones of local scumbags I had to contend with once in a blue moon.
