Pet Peeves

[Born of Fire]

Perennial car insurance peeve.  €771. Go fuck thyself,  AA.

Could be worse, paid 960 for mine recently and that was after trying every insurer I could find, not happy with it but better than the renewal quote of over 1200

[Kurt Cocaine]

Christ, I have the Hog insured and taxed for exactly €301 all in. That's €739 altogether, car and bike.
You boys are getting fleeced.

[Ducky]

Honestly, I feel blessed to live in a small town and not own a car.

"A car is freedom". Nah, I prefer my financial freedom instead.

[Pedrito]

Cost me 220 here in Spain recently...the insurance industry back home would boil your blood.

Yeah, but compare your price to mine (€438) and compare the average wage in both countries and it's quite similar, no?

Is the average wage double? I get that argument but even so it feels so good when you just hand over 200 instead of what I used to spend i.e. 600 and up. 438, jesus that's not bad in fairness.

The Housewives of..... What horrible, vapid cunts. Seems to be about 40 versions of the show and a fella only trying to scroll through the channels for Four In A Bed or Come Dine With Me.

Listening to students talking on the radio about going to Electric Picnic.  Yeah,  I know we were all annoying twats at that age who believed we were the first people to discover pints,  but listening to them talking about their exciting preparations- throw that Tom Dunne vadge into the mix for good measure- and it'd make you want to... it would make you pray for a plague of... you'd wish them all a slow and painful... Well, I just stuck on a CD instead!

Dust jackets that are too tight to get your record in and out of easily.

The millennial festival crowd that go to festivals just because people go to festivals. I love asking them in work who's playing as you'd be very lucky to receive an answer. On the other hand they will know details like there's a falafel tent  on site or a Pilate session in aid of world peace.....

Use of the phrase, 'I know,  right?', should be punishable by death.

That's been going on for years though. When Witness first started a load of my friends couldn't understand why I didn't want to go despite not liking anyone that was playing. "It's not about the music, it's the vibe, maaaan"

[Eoin McLove]

Brings me back to the "Roadburn family" shite a girl I used to work with would go on about.  She was otherwise very sound but when she started going on about Walter being her papa bear,  or whatever it was she used to come out with, I wanted to fucking knock her teeth out.

[Ducky]

"Metallers stick together", "Brothers in Metal", "Metal Bros.™" shitehawkery is pure cat.

I went to Electric Picnic in 2008 and got that "here for the vibe" vibes from most of my mates. One of the lads doesn't care for music and when we were watching George Clinton headline the Saturday night he asks "who's this lad? Never heard of him, I'm surprised anyone else has". I fucked off by myself to watch My Bloody Valentine and I only managed to convince one of the girls to come watch Grinderman with me because she thinks Nick Cave is hot.

There's a reason I never went back to EP.

[Juggz]

Any of this "family" shite. Americanised bollox. Show some dignity. Cop the fuck on and just accept you think everyone else is a cunt, just like they think you're a cunt.
