Pet Peeves

[Giggles]

I was ar Tara the other day. You can still clearly see 'fake' written more than once on the sides of the stone. Fucking scumbags.
Even if it is 'fake', so what? It's not like anybody is being charged entry into the field. Nobody is making money off it.

Those annoying Vodafone ads whenever the rugby coverage is on off the ball. 'We all belong to the team of us'. What the fuck does that mean?

Just distract yourself by singing Ireland's Call whenever it starts to get to you

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Compared Tory immigration policy to Nazi Germany. This is inaccurate. He should have compared Tory immigration policy to Britain's refugee policy in response to Nazi Germany 

Just saw someone developed this joke of mine into a full piece, meaning I must have been right.
But it's in The Guardian, meaning I must have been wrong.
I think round here that means it's impossible to decide between the two positions..?

Is it fake? What a silly target for someone's ire all the same

I'm not exactly sure what could be fake about it - as far as I'm aware, it's a bona fide 5000 year old stone 

Although some people genuinely believe that the Ark of the Covenant is buried there somewhere.
Apparently there was an unlawful excavation done there in the late 1800's by some Brittish Israelites, looking for the Ark.

My take on the recent event is that it was just brainless vandalism for shits and giggles. I can only hope that whoever did it bragged about it to the wrong person, and received a swift thumping into the face.

[astfgyl]

Yeah it's just pretty shit. Fuck em ruining cool stuff like that

[Eoin McLove]

Is this the Irish version of tearing down stairs of historic figures or something else? I don't get the motivation.

Not sure if I detest card companies or the idiots who buy any oul crap put out. I had to do a double take yesterday when I saw an abomination on our window sill -

"Happy Mother's Day - AUNTY"

Not being content with a day for cards for your mother, which is perfect, no we have to extend it to any possible cream they missed. Who suggested this crap?? What's next?

"Happy Mother's Day - NEIGHBOUR WHO LIVES AROUND THE CORNER BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE" to cover all angles...

[Hellyeah]

Gave up on the aul happy hallmark day cards over 20 years ago. Told everyone in the family I'm not doing them anymore.
You look at them once and they go in the bin.
Got the mammy a nice cake and a ton of seeds for the garden(big into the garden) she'll get whole season out of them. She was chuffed.

Plumbers. Sitting here since half 8 this morning waiting for a plumber to come and still no sign of the cunt.

[Caomhaoin]

Sadik Khan lighting up London for fucking Ramadan. Easter and Christmas holidays yonder for kids being renamed Spring and Winter break, and they sex the gaff up for an Islamic religious event?

Mental.

I busted my phone screen a few weeks ago and spent 400 bills getting it fixed. Dropped the cunting yoke this morning and cracked the fuck out of it again 

[Caomhaoin]

Broke mine too, about a month ago while langers on holiday. Still haven't bothered to get it fixed yet, 400 bar though? Fuck sake...

[Eoin McLove]

When it broke last time it was completely fucked. Couldn't use the screen at all. It killed the touch mechanism so it was a case of 400 bills or buy a new phone so I thought, fuck it. I'm glad I didn't spend a grand on a new one now
