Pet Peeves

[Eoin McLove]

Or speculators be speculating?

[son of the Morrigan]

Perhaps so, either way its rotten.

The band name 'Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators'.

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Eoin McLove]

 

Heading into "so spastic it's genius" territory.

[Caomhaoin]

The whole concept of 'black history month'. So, so condescending.

Jew'd think it was done on purpose.

Getting up at 5.30 for work. Painful.

[John Kimble]

Today's pet peeve is Instagram, more specifically all of these spasticated videos (generally hot young wans in fairness) miming to the words of some retarded hip hop choon or tv/movie quote. Shite. Second is Matt Cooper. I can't quite put my finger on why exactly I find him so irksome, but there's something about his voice and mannerisms that fucks me off, even more than Ray D'Arcy whom I've always held as the most hateful of tv/radio 'personalities'. To echo McLoves sentiments, getting up for work at 5.30 is a balls, but it's even worse when you consider the pittance you're paid compared to a prick like D'Arcy who gets a small fortune to talk utter shite in some afternoon slot that no one really listens to anyway.

I used to listen to Cooper back in the day and enjoyed his show..but over the last few years he's become an irrating cunt. I also can't figure out what it is exactly but one thing that does get on my tits is his penchant for stating the obvious.

[Doctor Crippen]

Ray D'arcy is a clown

[Blackout]

Ray D'arcy is a clown

A running theme with Irish presenters.

[Doctor Crippen]

Yep, overhaul the airwaves

These new US travel restrictions/requirements are fucking amazing.

Non-US citizens must have proof of full vaccination and get a negative test result not more than 3 days prior to travel. You also have to fill out 3 CDC forms on top of your visa and ESTA stuff now.

US citizens... ah sure do whatever ye want, lads. Vaccinated? No? Negative test? No? OK... you really should have gotten one of those but drive on there - it's not essential. How were your few weeks around Ireland by the way?

Great isn't it? Never mind the fact you need a negative PCR test (from one of two companies they have a contract with - nobody else's, including the HSE, is acceptable) for Dublin Airport to let you check in.
Still, getting through security in five minutes, and through preclearance in two minutes was a bonus.

Really? Fucking hell - more of it.

This is why I love flying to the US from Shannon. It's the travel equivalent of the credit union.

Do you have a face and some sort of ID? Yes.

Head away in there.


I'm going to the US in April 2022 as a birthday gift from my wife. Border closure scuppered it being on my actual birthday. Normally I'd be really looking forward to a trip stateside but this fuckology has put a note of apprehension on the whole thing.
