Pet Peeves

Never did I think this would be an issue for me. The nigh on impossible task of getting Taylor Swift tickets as a surprise for my daughter.
Needless to say I should have just put my finger up the cats hole as it would have been more productive.

A lad that I work with is in the same predicament. The only tickets left were the VIP level things - not sure what you get for them - but the costs were ludicrous €350 - €700 depending on the tier. And because it's a child who wouldn't be able to attend unaccompanied he would have had to buy 2 tickets.

It's fucking insane - by the time that you factor in a hotel, fuel/train, food and whatever else to entertain yourself for a day out in Dublin you'd have the price of a week or more on the continent or a very nice 4 day weekend in the US.

'Just Stop Oil'.

Is this officially a thing now? has it travelled over to the Emerald Isle yet? Why do I see nothing about it in the newspapers (online)?
While I have no issue with their ideas, their method seems counterproductive, especially since most people seem to really hate them now. Plus the police seem strangely absent.

How everyone who doesn't listen to music has suddenly become a Coldplay fan

I think the first part of that statement explains the second part. Coldplay, what beige sounds like.

The impending revisionism of various media outlets after giving Sinead O'Connor nothing but shit for the last 30 years.

Indeed. All the outlets that could've amplified her voice when she spoke out either ignored or ridiculed her in life will now beatify her in death to sell product, get likes, create (gawk) content.

Cool. Please share the link if you track it down.

Aye. I remember as a young lad the vitriol she got when she tore up the picture and thinking fucking A, at least someone was not afraid to stand up to the cunts. Media vilified her and used her as a punching bag for years. Scum.

Listened to an interview a while back with Brendan o'connor on radio 1. As carnage said she was good craic and very knowledgeable on any topic she spoke about. One of a kind.

This is brilliant - making Tubridy squirm.

Can't track it down, I'll ask the guy who sent it to me.

Apparently it has been paused for the O'Connor revisionism
