Can be a particularly infuriating experience in Limerick cinemas when a bunch of the local caravan enthusiasts wander in 15 minutes after a film has started and proceed to chat full volume across aisles to each other.

Heh heh.

Same in Cork. The biggest and probably best equipped cinema is in Mahon Point which is right next to a caravan ranch.

You have no choice but to pick a seat in there these days. I was at some film recently and, like that, they arrived in and started immediately.

"Iss fu-rry dark in huur. Sit done duur. No, duur!"

Somebody asked them to be quiet or something.

"Fuck you and your shushin'"

Then a couple arrive in with teenage kids - "Sorry I think you're in our seats".

"We're sittin' huur, sit done duur. Or over duur."

"Sorry now but we booked those seats."

"We'll wuur sittin' huur."

You man gets a cinema employee who tries to reason with them. (The trailers have started now).

Don't forget that we have a Nespresso bar in the lobby.........

"You went and got tha' man (the cinema employee who was no more than 20 and about 7 stone) to get us to move ouhha hour saaaaates?! Yeh horrible bastard yeh." and then drops into a boxing stance and goes "Big brave man!"

In the background there's an ad for Bank Of Ireland mortgages on the screen now........

The cinema lad goes "If I could just see your tickets..."

"Ask humm fur hus tickeh! Why are you asking me?! Ask hum first!"

So the young lad asks the family man who produces four tickets.

Lifestyle Sports for all your tracksuit and white Nike Air Max needs.........

"We're noh moo-hoo-vin!"

"Could I see your tick..."

"DIS is my FUCKIN TICKEH!" and puts a fist close to the young fella's face. Then sits back down.

The young lad looks at the family and then leaves - I don't blame him, I wouldn't fancy getting hit by a Hi-Ace Pilot for my part-time job either.

The family find other seats and just sit down.

The film starts.

"Yeh rat! Yeh ratted us! You're dead after this."

This prick is still goading a guy who has come to see a movie with his kids.

Nothing happens for about 20 mins. Then... in the darkness;

"DIS IS PURE SHIT!" and up they get and start to leave (noisily) but not before throwing a massive bucket of Coke/Fanta/Sprite/piss in the general direction of the poor fucker whose seats they were in.

And that is why I don't really go to the cinema any more.

I was in The Gate twice. This comes with the caveat that the rare oul' time I do go to the cinema, I'll go later into a film's run so it's less jammers.

Once for Deadpool II. Some lad comes in, pulls on a balaclava and says if anyone makes noise they're in trouble. So he sits there and shouts his head off for people to shut up (even though he's the only one making noise), then he declares he'll slash people if there's more noise. Someone got the burly bouncer lad and he chucks him out.

Other time was for Avengers (whatever the fuck one it was, I don't really"do" the superhero stuff) and there was less than 20 people there. A Spanish couple sat in front of me and proceeded to talk in Spanish as loudly as possible. I asked them to shush, they wouldn't, so after about ten minutes of this, every time one of them started talking I kicked the back of the chair pretty forcefully. I left after about 45 minutes of the film.

Overheard two women talking today one was telling the other she's off to a "Sten" apparently it's a stag and hen party combined.  All those combo words  >:(  up there with text speak etc  >:(

Also, while I'm here, randomer, quirky, bespoke, rustic and my/our forever home  >:(

Forever home... fuck me sideways that is utterly cuntish indeed.  You couldn't help but pray for some sort of natural disaster to level it to the ground.

We have a residents summer street party on here in our new estate.  Could not be fucked having to make small talk and have the same conversion on repeat all evening. I'm not even drinking  :'(

Being in your late 30's with no partner or kids... You also have fuck all people to do anything with.
I'm so fucking bored and zero drive anymore.

Taking to a friend who just had their 2nd baby and he goes "ah must be great to be able to do what you want anytime you want etc etc"

Oh yeah, fucking magnificent when your their with your dick in your hand for company for all these super fun events.

Off the drink a month now.. everything's fucking hunky dory

Almost all comment threads on online music sites descending into tough man keyboard warrior shouting matches about Trump or immigration. Seriously, the article could be about Dee Snyder launching a new brand of eyeliner (for example) and 20 seconds later, here come the fuckheads. Sick of it. And yes, I know, I don't have to read it, but I misguidedly go looking for music discussion on music websites for some reason.

Yeah, depressing stuff alright. The amount of people that seem to have such a tenuous grip on their ability to have a normal debate without flipping into some kind of tantrum two sentences later should things not be going their way, beggars belief. I feel sorry for the generations growing up with that as their norm. Rather them than me.

Thankfully people here remain civil enough and most conversations stay on topic. Metal storm and no clean singing are sites I frequently visit and there also people are usually civil, with the discussion usually about the music and similar recommendations. It's when I start looking at other sites I run into numpty territory.

People who get all defensive anytime Ireland or the Irish is/are criticised. Trust me I'm prone to it myself, but I'm talking about things like this non-event of a story reported on RTE today

https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2019/0624/1057127-john-cleese-criticised-for-irish-language-comments/

I love my country, but I think getting into ballbag arguments about nonsense like this displays a kind of touchiness that is, for want of a better word, embarassing.

I have two words for you, 'fucking Twitter'

Don't have it myself..seems like a minefield

In fairness, it merely adds to a lengthening list of idiotic things he's come out with recently. I think he must be very bored. It would have been different if he'd come out with something genuinely funny to go along with it, but a thing about Irish names being misleading... when you're passing off as original jokes that were already third-hand when Michael McIntyre made them famous, you deserve all that flak that comes at you. Especially when you're John fucking Cleese!

Next I suppose he'll be tweeting writers asking them why they use a rich vocabulary instead of just sticking to the basic essentials.
