It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
Politicians playing politics..What the fuck different would they have done if they were in power ? Same as this crowd now , and then they would be in opposition playing politics. This can apply to any country , but it is rife in Ireland.
Leader of the Irish labour party criticising people for having expensive mobile phones and tablets while refusing to pay water charges (taxes)..Stupid ..water charges are implemented because Ireland is repaying the EMF bailout which we needed to keep the country solvent after our banking crisis. The leader of the Labour Party should be protecting and endorsing people's rights to protest about this unjust tax not making glib stupid comments.
I’m sure I might have mentioned this one before, people who press the button at traffic lights at 6.00am in the morning when there isn’t a fucking car in sight, then cross straight over and I then have to stop after they have crossed the bastard road. Also people who cross the road diagaonally and actually look as if they are walking towards your fucking car rather than crossing the fucking road.

Do you get fined for crossing against the lights? You do here in Germany.
In a similar vein, people who cross the road in front of your car when you are close to them and have to break suddenly to avoid them.
This usually happens to me when mine is the only car in sight.
One sees them from a while away, they seem to wait until you are close to them as if mentally calculating if they have enough time to cross, then they step out.
Would it not be too much to ask that they wait a few seconds?
It is not as if there is a long stream of traffic preventing them from crossing.

no
nobody in ireland waits for the green man to come up to cross
" The wrong place at the wrong time "....What a moronic cliche. Used in times of tragedy like car accidents etc, used this week in Ireland by a member of the clergy , I think, following the death of a young woman in a car accident (?).
The lady in question was killed when her car was struck at high speed by a car that contained five criminals ranging in age from 12 (yes 12) to 23. These scumbags were being chased by police after a spate of robberies across the midlands.
To suggest that this lady was"in the wrong place at the wrong time " suggests that the criminals had more right to be there than her and that they were in the right place. she was going about her lawful business they were not.
Leaf blowers, jeeze have never heard of a pasttime more ridiculous than blowing the leaves with a machine that waste fuel creats decibels of noise just for the wind to puff the leaves back to where they were when finished.
Pick them leaves up if you want rid, otherwise save fuel and fart them away
I have to agree wholeheartedly about these leaf blowers.
Property near me uses them on Sunday mornings, about 7.30.
Ridiculous invention that serves only to make the user go nuts and get addicted to noise.
I could at least respect the idea of a specialised vacuum cleaner that traps the leaves in a bag which is thrown away afterwards or emptied out onto a compost heap.
But blowing them around?
It is windy anyway, that is why they are scattered around.
Very much the "Emperor's New Clothes" of an invention.
I've got a leaf blower but I don't use it that way. I put it on suck and...................wait for it...................collect all the leaves to mulch down for next seasons organic compost.
I agree with the comments about blowing leaves though. What the fuck is the point of that?
Too many pages to read back on but motorists at roundabouts drive me fcuking crazy - half the b.stards don't know what lane they should be in but 95% of the c.unts don't know or don't bother to indicate coming off the roundabout Over here in Ireland we seem to have too many cars that don't have indicators on them or else the stupid c.untish drivers seem to regard them as an inconvenience
