Pet Peeves

[leatherface]

For all their billions they couldnt understand that a submersible that did not go through the proper safety protocols and was steered by a fucking playstation controller might not be the ideal vessel to go deep sea diving. Absolute clowns.

This is the part that irks me the most, not the money involved, the fact that you have what appears to be a flimsy steering system. The hub doesn't appear to be up to scratch either, equally flimsy. People are talking about the money but the arrogance of all involved in this business is astounding, R.I.P.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Hubris; great when it pays off, hilarious when it doesn't. That's about the sum of it.

Debris; hilarious when found.

Haha, zing!

"top secret navy vessel heard the bang of the implosion days ago"

Top secret? So top secret we're hearing about it

[Mower Liberation Front]

Would there have been nearly as much of a media circus had these guys died while diving on the Bismarck, or the Scorpion, or any other deep shipwreck not named Titanic?

[Caomhaoin]

True Geordie. He used to be funny with the football hangover but his podcast is now extremely boring and gay.

[Caomhaoin]

Joe Canning is in the top 3 best players I've ever seen tog out for a hurling team, ever. However, this boring bastard is up there with Kevin Doyle and Shearer for the shiteiest pundit in history award. Get Dalo or Donal Óg (there's your homophobe boyz!) in there, Christ almighty.

Shouty podcast ads. Two seconds of some chirpy cunt shouting in their wackiest voice at me is a guaranteed speedy trip to the skip button. It depresses me that there seems to be a big audience for forced and shouted zaniness in the Irish evolution of the Valley Girl patois. It's a poor reflection on humanity.

'forced and shouted zaniness' perfectly describes the utter horror of Irish breakfast radio shows, and all these drones going about listening to the same thing , I got off the bus having put up with it this morning, then the postman calls and he has the same innane 'forced and shouty zaniness ' belching from his postmobile. Interspersed with the most banal of whatever passes for pop music these days, usually some quare wan extolling the merits of her arse or that little acoustic guitar torturing ginger cunt. Jesus fucking christ

It's horrible stuff, I go for the off button straight away, who the fuck is their intended audience?

[Thorn]

That's just it though, it's the general populace, seems to be a default setting to put on this lowest common denominator shite in the morning, like this morning I had the bus driver, the postman and if I had walked down to the shop I'm sure there would have been a white transit outside with a load of breakfast roll wrappers, measuring tapes and spirit levels on the dash...with that wonderfully wacky, forced chummy shite  on full volume

[Eoin McLove]

It's no better in Oz. Same whacky rubbish on the radio here. OMG TAYLOR SWIFT HAS ANNOUNCED A TOUR OF AUSTRALIA! ARE YOU A TRUE SWIFTY?? WILL YOU BE THERE AT THE EVENT OF THE YEAR??!!! OMGOMGOMG!

And that's the evening fucking news 

[Carnage]

Been like that for yonks though, but it's definitely ramped up a lot in the last 10 years or so. I find radio unlistenable at the best of times, the odd match or a bit of Lyric FM (age, fuck off) in the background aside.

Heading up to bed only to realise when I get there that I hadn't made it after stripping the sheets earlier.

[Thorn]

haha that is a sickener alright

BBC Radio 4 on Long Wave 198 is good to listen to of an evening,  won't do your head in anyway.  Most houses would still have a radio with LW on it.
I knew an old Fenian years ago, a hard chaw who'd had chairs broken on his back by the Heavy Gang in the 70s who always had it on in the garage. Surprisingly.
