The daughter is very brave. I'd have murdered the fucker.

Back to less horrific content...

Just getting settled down to do a couple of hours work with some tunes and a beer, and you hear your wee bundle of joy throwing up their entire dinner in their crib  :abbath:

Young fellas in Cork city centre (possibly the rest of Ireland) walking around in socks and pool slides (or flip flops).

I saw a lad this morning as I walked to work. The fucking cut of him. Acid washed jean shorts, vest and the socks n' slides combo.

This isn't sandy Venice Beach. This is Barrack St. which is strewn with syringes and dog shit.

And yer man carrying on like he's meeting Zack, Slater and Screech down in Bayside.

We have the same in Limerick. But whereas as a certain level of decorum exists elsewhere, we have absolute heifers bate into lycra and such. Now, I know it's hot and nobody wants to be wearing more than what's practical but the way these ones are willing to display themselves... It's grand if you're not the size of a Yaris wearing the same amount of clothes as a skinny 16 year old. And what's worse, they think they're gorgeous.

"wE dResS fOr oThER wOmEn nOt mEn". Always cracks me up when they say that.

Very often it seems to be a case of wearing the same stuff as their skinny friends, they're just unfortunate that it is manky looking. The same ones that go to the shops in pyjamas.

People wearing what they want?

Outrageous!!

:laugh:, yep.
And this coming from lads wearing Paedophile Scoutmaster tee-shirts.

As I half suspected, it must be a Limerick phenomenon cos ye definitely wouldn't be so blasé if ye'd to see what we do!

Currently in the missus' place and have listened to her roommates missus, a Spanish woman, go on three separate rants about how shit the area is for the most mundane reasons.

The first because the nearest supermarket is a 10 minute walk away, the second because the houses all look the same apparently, and the third, we're playing some music, I put on some Lizzy and mentioned  to the lad Lynott and Downey grew up nearby, which triggered another rant from her "see they had to play music because there's nothing in this area", what does that even mean like shut the fuck up, I apologise the colour of the houses don't entertain you satisfactorily 😂.

Ask her how she is finding the streamlined (comparatively speaking) Irish bureaucracy compared to the creaky, monster soviet style bullshit you have to put up with here! Or why they drive like imbeciles, and like blind Alzheimer's sufferers if it rains! I could go on.

Incidentally a french lad here told me the bureaucracy is actually worse in France than Spain, which I find very hard to believe.

Bureaucracy in Ireland is barely existent, this is one of the things I appreciate the most about living here. Back home there's a fucking stamp for nearly everything you could possibly think of.

While working at the language lab in college I met an American lad who had arrived in Brazil at a city 8 hours away, his company transferred him to my hometown and some cunt didn't manage to read the stamp on his documents properly. He had to travel back and forth to get a better stamp so he could start working. That's easily 2 days of his life gone because of a fucking stamp, which he already had.

And then the only resort is to punch the dork's head in for being a stamp collector.

Jesus lads the hangovers are so much worse in the heat.

Funnily enough, I was going to say that bureaucracy in France is like Terry Gilliam's Brazil. But apparently that place is actually occupied by Brazil!
