Ya, I'd be less surprised to meet someone from DETROIT MICHIGAN at Nowlan park than a Westportonian :)


I was going to go to the volleyball in Castlebar today but it was €35 for the stand (terrace out of the question, given the weather). Add €20 for a bus over and it's a fair few bob for a one-sided game.

These are the national games, and RTÉ two have Leinster v Sharks in the URC on instead of Cork v Tipp. Total bollocks if you ask me, and I love my rugby aswell.

The perils of buying secondhand CDs from Amazon: waiting for weeks for this one, it arrives today in bits. The case was smashed up badly (common enough, I'm not too pushed as long as the disc/booklet/inlay are alright but the parcel itself was immaculate, so it was sent this way) but the CD itself was fucked. Badly cracked to about halfway in, totally unplayable. It only cost about a fiver but on principle I want the fucking refund. If it was damaged in transit I wouldn't be too bothered, thems the breaks but when the cunts sent it out in bits - fuck them.

One is a professional sport played at an international level, the other is a bunch of farmers, PE teachers and bankers waving sticks around.  ;)
What about the poor old head of RTE Sport? If he had his way, RTE would get rid of every other sport that wasn't Gah, yet his people have now turned on him.
But he's an inbred cunt from BigTomsylvania who loathes football, so he can get fucked.

Though maybe the real problem is, it's just too manly for the woke crowd.

It's an amateur sport played by the most dedicated, passionate lads around. Munster championship in a unique Irish sport or the poxy URC? No contest.

As for that gimp from RTÉ Sport, he's exchanged the best punditry about with real characters and gas cunts for a shower of the blandest, most inoffensive NPCs spouting the most boring, by the numbers shite imaginable. Michael Lyster, Pat Spillane, Loughnane, Mulcahy, Brolly etc replaced by Joanne Cantwell, Shane Dowling and fucking Lee Keegan. The less said about the new generation on soccer pundits the better.

His apparent dislike of football is a distant second in the gripes stakes.

The worst of the lot is Eamonn Fitzmaurice doing the football commentary.
Outstanding player in his day, good manager, but Christ on a bike he is the most boring cunt with the most monotone boring voice I've ever heard.
What the fuck are they thinking.

Agency staff. Our company is at its busy time and instead of employing temporary staff directly our lazy as fuck, useless fat bitches of HR are using agency.

Now there are some good workers in there but my God, people in their twenties just want to come in, do fuck all and get money for it. We've had 2 walk on their second morning and it's not as if the work is difficult or hard.
They blame the government for ruining the lives and opportunities for the young people, but  after seeing the degenerates coming in and their attitudes, then it's not the 'bastard Tories' etc but the lazy as fuck cunts who want it handed to them.

Need a proper war and national service to sort the wee pissants out.

Pricks who refuse to use their indicators! The lowest form of fucking cretin!!!!!

Waiting all day for a guy to collect stock from my work. Asked him for an ETA at 12.30, still no reply. Fuck him at this stage.

As someone who's spent a lot of years doing short term contract agency work its hard to be bothered to care when youre only going to be there for a few months max and no matter how much effort you put into any role they're still going to send you on your merry way as soon as you've been there long to be able to gain perks or benefits.

Also because the majority of entry level accessible jobs are all agency, if you don't like one of the jobs whats the point in sucking it up in the hope you can secure a permanent role, which isn't going to happen, when you can just get another agency post with the same shit prospects the next week

While I no doubt have every sympathy with those trying to find work and make some money, I really have no time for those who do fuck around and make life more difficult for the staff there. Like I said there are some good workers amongst them but the general apathy annoys me.
On the upside in our place there are opportunities that once you get in even as an agency, you are in a better position to get a fixed term or even permeant job (which a few of the non shite agency guys have done).
