Pet Peeves

Only time I get sick is if I'm not playing soccer. Play 3 times a week now in all weather and no lurgy can touch me. Theres something about training in rain and freezing conditions that toughens up the body I think.

I get that with the tin whistle when the lads show me what they've learned. I find it hard to think of a time I've ever heard a tin whistle sound good

They can sound good in unison - especially when you teach the kids to play the theme to Star Wars 😜

@ Circlepit - wait till she takes up the fiddle - we've had 2 years of that. I used to think tinnitus was bad

Speaking of theme to Star Wars, I had a string duet, violin and cello playing at my wedding back in the day and their rendition of that theme was class.

Thank fucking God it wasn't tin whistle and recorder lol

The fiddle is under the stairs so there will be jams with that as well.
There is also a drum kit, piano,  guitars and a concertina.
I'm thrilled both my kids love music both listening to it and playing it. That recorder though....

It's that time of the year where full headlights are needed on roads without lighting but why, why oh fucking why, do so many cunts wait to burn the retinas off oncoming drivers before they switch back to dipped? You can see oncoming cars approach in the darkness because their lights are on too and, from that point on, your dipped lights are enough to comfortably see where you're going. You can easily see when they switch to dipped lights too, a great signal to make the switch yourself. Even so, so many cunts wait until they blind oncoming traffic before eventually deciding to limit the damage tot he dilated eyes of oncoming drivers. Cunty behaviour, so it is.

This, completely, and also those stupid high intensity bulbs that everyone has in their cars at the minute.  Even when dipped, they still cut the eyes out of your head.

The LED bulbs? I'm pretty sure they're illegal, though nothing seems to be done about it.

[ochoill]

The LED bulbs? I'm oretty sure they're illegal, though nothing seems to be done about it.

That has to be them.  They would cut the fuckin eyes out of you.  I never knew they were illegal, there's rakes of them on the road.

[Carnage]

I'm not 100% sure of that TBH, just what I've heard from a few people. Sure that kind of enforcement in this country is nonexistent, look at dodgy number plates, lights, tinted windows and the like. Nothing done about them.

[Ollkiller]

Lads LED lights are legal in cars in Irland. There are approved LED lights to use so once it's one of them it's fine. Some would cut the eye out of you alright.

Why the fuck do some people leave such a mess behind them in cinema seats, wtf is wrong with them, how were they raised? Also I sometimes see people leaving a mess behind them on plane seats as well. I dont get it..zero respect or awareness..

Lost my keys in the old cinema in town back in the day. Called back in and the lads said work away find em. Well I found stuff that was there since the 70s I couldn't believe the shit. Fuckin animals. Didn't find the keys.

Ended up making a sort of makeshift ladder out of garden furniture and it fell out from under me while I was hanging out of the top window I nearly had a panic attack because I couldn't fit through the fuckin thing. Got there in the end out of fear while @ochoill iirc was busting his bollix laughing the whole way and I was shitting a brick. The prick

Here's the worst part though - the fuckin film:

The devil wears prada.

Jesus wept. I thought there'd be the devil or something in it

Lads in the gym making loud grunting noises and slamming their weights on the floor when they've done their reps. Maybe it's time I brought headphones with me.

A grunt from the strain of getting they let rep is fine. The people  having orgasms need to keep it down.
When it comes to weights banging though. That shit is so annoying.
 There are 3 lads in particular where I go and whilst they are strong as bears when it comes to lifting the shit they seem to lose all they power when it comes to putting it back down.
Be it a bar, dumbbells or machines they all get the same clattering. I don't know how the owner hasn't fucked then out the door.

I remember this in patches.  It was early in the day too, what the fuck were we doing in the cinema?  I know I slept through the whole film too.  I do remember howling at the only window in the house left open being on the gable end of it  fuckin amazing

People who release doves at weddings.

[hellfire]

I hate weddings in general. A long drawn out pain in the balls.
