Pet Peeves

Cork City flooded again - ton of businesses swamped by floodrain - great, that'll make lockdown even better for them. Storm/flood barriers are sorely needed here.

Didn't most of the residents object to flood controls?

The objection was more to the OPW proposed "solution", and tbh I'd have to agree. Especially seeing the state of OPW jobs. People are pushing heavily for a tidal barrier. Without knowing the intricate details (meaning I could be totally wrong and spouting absolute shite), it would seem like the better long term solution. Flood controls definitely needed.

Yeah, given the condition of the job that the OPW did on Bandon, I wouldn't let them near a garden hose. After years of making shit of the place down there (against most of the resident's wishes and the advice of private civil engineering firms) - the town still flooded.

It's international pronoun day!!!!

I'm Kunt 4 Life and my pronouns are He and Him

Please note that the H is always capitalised as I'm very important like Jesus.

A very, very minor pet peeve but still one nonetheless.

Limited edition food like Banshee Bones. Tayto brought these back as limited edition in the middle of September they are selling out faster than the latest Goatowarex LPs.

Every shop in my area that has stocked them has told me that they have been sold in less than an hour of them putting them out on the shelves. Then if you go onto the Tayto facebook page it's comment after comment of people saying they cannot get them anywhere.

Would the logical approach not be to bring them back for good since they are selling so well. I know part of the reason they are selling so well is because people are probably buying in bulk since they won't be delivered to stores anymore after Saturday but still they would clearly sell if brought back for good and unlike some of the other crisps that have changed over the years they taste exactly the same as they did when I was child.

Seinfeld has an observation regarding "limited edition". Limited as in limited to the amount we can sell.

Petty one for sure, but certain BBC types overusing the word 'incredible', almost a like for like substitution for 'very'. I listen to that BBC in our time history podcast and some of the experts they have on would happily use it 500 times an episode.

8 hours of zoom presentations today. Just impossible to concentrate on a stream of information via screen for that long, as ye can see!

Thundering cunts who arrive at the bottle bank or the clothes bank with their box of bottles or bag of clothes, see the the bank is full and decide the only course of action is to throw aforementioned box or bag on the ground in front of the bank.
Fuck them and the cunt of a horse they rode in on.
I mean what kind of festering fucktard does such a thing?
Also, while I'm on the subject of littering, I'm a farmer myself with some land along a road and every fucking morning I arrive at one of the gates there's plastic bottles, cans, fucking fast food containers and on occasion when I'm really lucky, soiled nappies (and on a few memorable occasions, soiled underpants) lying waiting at the gate for me to pick up and dispose of.
what kind of bastarding scumbag throws their rubbish out of their car window?
one of these days I'll catch one of the cunts and I'll  do things to them that would make George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher blush should Cannibal Corpse write a song about it.
End of rant.

Christmas shit EVERYWHERE.

You obviously haven't left your house since the BEGINNING of October.. 

[Carnage]

Oh it's been around since September, but it's ramping up bigtime now. Decorations in shop windows, street lights up. Fuck off with it.

My idiot housemate has Christmas FM on full blast in her earphones. She is an ignorant, insufferable stupid cunt.  God that felt good to get out.
