I'm a non Irish, would you care to explain the background on thinking this way?

[Caomhaoin]

It's very 'west-Brit' sounding to an Irish ear.

[Carnage]

It's generally silent, pronounced 'clohs'.

Cunting customs charges. A CD I bought for ~€7, customs/VAT fee is 95c but An Post's fee is €3.50. Cunts. And it won't go through online so I have to go into town in the morning to pay the cunts. Who are cunts.

Depends on whether we're talking about it being pronounced specifically as a 'th' or just being pronounced at all. Fair few places in Ireland you'd hear people saying "clodes', not forgetting of course the Dublinese "klowess."

Yeah, your accent wouldn't be out of place at one of Prince Andrews candlelight suppers.

Why is the media going on about yer wan the gymnast over her giving up? Spas

It's gone cruel since they removed the €23 cut off.  It has me stung for delays in work - some stuff I'd import was low value enough to not need any formal clearance but now it's all done away with and everything gets the full process.  Waste of time because we're VAT exempt and the parts are duty free.  I wouldn't have a job without the bureaucracy of it all though so I can't give out too hard.

The real pain in the balls is that I only bought the CD from that crowd (Nagiry on Amazon, for future reference) because it was cheap! And now it's costing me more than I could have gotten it for elsewhere.

I pick up a few bits and pieces for work online, cheap like. Just for handiness' sake, but probably gonna be shafted on them next time now.

So, seems like there's more than just way you Irish guys are pronouncing it :-)
No wonder I get confused sometimes.

Young, healthy and paid sports stars complaining of 'mental health' issues when they face a bit of pressure. Not trying to have a go but am I missing  something here? Maybe go work in a library if that's how you feel?. I wish I could take time off work citing 'mental health'.

I THINK I'M LOSING MY MIND!!!!

Shhhhhhh.....

Equally could be posting this under Film or the Tube but not being able to find a decent series to get stuck into. This is despite being signed up to Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sky Q. I mean, what the fuck am I at? Complete waste of money. I initially justified it for the sake of the kids, but they're happy enough to watch YouTube. But then again, this might be more down to my compete lack of an attention span. I can't remember the last time I read a book.

Problem is these youngsters pay too much attention to social media without realising the world is full of sad, useless horrible cunts with nothing better to do than send abuse their way. Without real world experience they don't know how to handle that level of vitriol. I know if I was that age I'd have not handled it well.

Punishment of luxury. There's too much choice so it becomes overwhelming and we are spoiled rotten. There is also a lot of crap being made, which isn't a new phenomenon, but having it all at the click of a finger just makes it feel more prevalent.
