Pet Peeves

[Carnage]

It's actually a different speed too. I bought the tape back in the day and that missing bar always fucked me when I bought a CD years later, so I bought a copy of the original CD off ebay. Despite being the full song, it's shorter than the missing bar version on the reissues. When I compared they two, I copped that they sped up the tape on the original album so The Heretic is faster and slightly higher pitched than all the various reissue versions.

Never notifed that. I had the tape at the time alright, and got an original CD off Discogs when I found out about the missing bar. Sounded OK to me but then I hadn't heard the album for about 30 years. Glad I got the older CD in the end.

And you'd never see Jagger pulling that shit.

Right and all.

It's a pure Morrissey move.

 I remember chatting to Chris Holmes the last time he played Dublin and he confirmed that the original release of Headless was sped up in parts...

[Giggles]

Singers giving a theatrical "I'm so bored" look while they're singing their own songs to a room of people who have paid to see them.

I was at a gig last night - one of the support bands had a collective average age of about 20. The lead singer has this horrible trait. Rolling his eyes and gesticulating as if he'd done this song to death.

If you're Mick Jagger hauling out "Satisfaction" for the billionth time then OK but not if your band is going less than 6 months.

If being a singer in a band is that difficult why not try TIG welding 316 stainless steel for 7 months and see which career you prefer.

Maybe that's the new cool thing to do if you're that age?
Fuck, if only there was somebody here born after 1980 to teach us...

Probably should be in the football thread but it's also a huge peeve

Pep's quote last night

" We are a team that believes we can do it."

You're also a squad that's been valued at €1.25 billion, literally 30 of the best players on the planet.

It should be a crime to label Premier League football as a sport. Trillionaire Oil Sheikh owned club sweep aside ghastly provincial ragball club with not two penny's to rub together on weekly basis.

[Carnage]

It's not a sport. Any arguments to the contrary are easily answered with one word: diving.

[astfgyl]

Ah come on, show me any sport where nobody is willing to bend the rules to their advantage. I feel soccer gets a bad rap here given that stuff happens everywhere

[Carnage]

Not to the same degree, it's utterly pathetic and Gaelic football is going the same way.

[astfgyl]

Oh it does my head in and all but I still enjoy the games

[Caomhaoin]

The RTÉ rugby pundit panel. All soundbytes and pointing out the obvious.

Gaelic Football and soccer are dreadful too. At least you have Dónal Óg and Daly for the hurling. They used to ring up lads who were box office to talk a bit of shite at half time, Spillane, Brolly, Hook, Pope and of course the classic soccer panel. You'd always stall after the match to listen to them. Jamie Heaslip? No thanks! BBC do the diversity hires but at least they have mouthy fuckers like Davies for the rugby.

Whoever is in charge of hiring at RTÉ Sport is negatively affecting both viewer experience and the bottom line. Hard to understand.

[Anvil]

Heaslip was an amazing player but he really is hard to listen to.  He isn't as bad as Bernard Jackman or Matt Williams though. 

[Carnage]

Whoever hired Joanne Cantwell could do with a slap, she's beyond awful. Like Tubridy on the Late Late, she has boxes to tick and you can nearly see her counting the seconds until she changes to the next item on her list. Jacqui Hurley is the opposite, she knows what she's talking about.

[The Great Cull]

Cunts that push the passenger door of your car in while at the supermarket and drive off without any attempt to fix it. It didn't look as bad until I got the car washed and now I can see they proper fucking rammed it. Bastards

[Bürggermeister]

The amount of ads for poxy Cheltenham, especially the ones playing up to the diddly-eye, living stereotype gombeens.

[101_North]

People that insist on standing at the front of the bus queue even though they aren't getting that particular bus! Worse in shelters with a small exit 🤬
