Pet Peeves

It's more irrelevant than triggering though.  Non news.

You'd want to see the amount of comments about it online. I literally clicked into it, thought to myself, 'oh fuck the internet just stole my soul again', read a few comments and I feel like life is judt taking the piss at this stage.

Irish people almost falling over themselves to get to their computers and voice their disapproval..hooowww daàarre youu, the famine, colonialism, my grandparents emigrated, potatoes..jesus wept.

If it were non-news, we wouldn't be talking about it

That's what news is today (today = the last 40 to 50 years) - whatever gets the most people talking. If you wish people talked about "higher" things, fair enough. But highly educated celebrities who take themselves to be intelligent (see recent Cleese interview on alt-right safe space YouTube channel Rebel Wisdom) have as much a role in bringing that about as anyone else.

I see people calling him a racist and things like that. Have I missed something? He said London doesn't feel English to him once, which seems very tame to me and also perfectly plausible considering the England he was raised in. Funny enough, I haven't met many celebrities in my life, but I did meet John Cleese in Santa Barbara zoo at a fancy cocktail party that my gf of the time(20years ago) got me into. We were both Irish teenagers, the group was a mix of all types of nationalities, colours, sexualities etc and he was really, genuinely nice. Spoke to us for ages, I was pounding the free food and beer into me, as nice a man as you could meet. He needs to get off twitter away from them rats.

Anyway my original point wasn't so much related to  him. Was more to do with the Irish outrage thing that pops up from time to time.

Defending ireland against stuff like that is so cringe.  Go outside and do something useful. Its becoming that normal sane people just can't be arsed commenting online anymore. It just descends into a total shit show populated by bottom feeders.

Mate of mine posted on Facebook a few weeks ago of how he types out a reply to something and 90% of the time just deletes before posting. Its just not worth the hassle. I find myself doing the same nowadays.

That reminds me, must delete the 212 email drafts in my work email that start with "are you fucking stupid?"

I do agree with this... all the more's the pity, from my point of view, that someone with the capacity to elevate discussion (John Cleese) is seemingly going the way of Dawkins (who he's actually no fan of) and keeping the bar as low as everyone else instead. In this instance, from the initial tweet, it was a pretty short drop to bottom feeder level!

[Pedrito]

He asked for it basically, or at least he should know better. Still, though, I'd rather listen to him than 99% of the muck out there. I say that without knowing what he's been up to in the past years. I would have thought he'd be, at the very least, well thought out and coherent in what he's saying. I'm open to bejng shot down on that though.

Nobody selling cheap shit on the classifieds here.
C'mon people, sell your shit and go digital already.

I was concerned about the very same thing

Changing address to around the corner to the next estate which incurs an "admin charge" for car insurance with one company while the other does it for free. What utter bull.

Pipe smokers. Holy fuck the stench of those things is some next level cuntery, especially when you're standing at a bus stop and the sun is beating down.

It's not old fashioned or quaint, it's disgusting, you dirty, dirty fuck.
