The Lynx ad with the cavemen, it was good at first but its shown far to much everyday on every channel.
The Ting Tings: Apparently there the next big thing but there music is to annoying if you ask me.
Scrubs: People I know find this funnier than shows like Father Ted, once or twice they crack a good joke but other than that I dont anything on it remotely funny.
Cadbury ad: Just like the Lynx ad, was good at first but got old because it was being shown way too much (but none of those ads could be worse than the airport one.)
and too top the list....
Andrew Maxwell: Really, what is actually funny about this man ? not once have I laughed at something "funny" he said, he was awful on that rte show, cant remember the name of it, think it was smoke & mirrors or something like that.

Top Gear - I would rather watch Top Cat, cars/petrol heads bore the tits of me and their only social skill is turning any conversation around to cars. Men choose between sport or music or cars/bikes - sometimes one, often two never met anybody who was really into all three.

Bang on. I'd rather be stuck in a lift with Roddy Collins for 20 minutes than watch Top Gear. Absolute effing twits, all 3 of them. I went to see Leinster play on the day this was filmed in Dublin, couldn't believe the queues to get in and watch those eejits yabber on about cars that 99% of the audience will never even test drive.

and then you watch a rugby game instead - and Leinster at that:eek:

...easy enough Bennocelt. It's a peak time show about a utility item I'm glad to find I'm not alone in considering mundane and functional. Why not have a top gear style show about latest developments in toilet bowls? washing up brushes?
Another one for the list...
Desperate Housewives.
Sex and the City (although that is an easy one because of the chickishness)

1) "That Canadian women from Today FM" is Alison Curtis i think. Her show is supposedly very popular but I can't stand her or it.
2) Ireland national team. I'm supposed to like it because I'm Irish and I like football but I don't have any strong feelings about it. I can't remember watching any Ireland matches before the 02 world cup and I've barely watched a full one since. I'm just really not bothered with it.
3) Paolo Maldini I have some respect for I suppose but i certainly don't "like" him as the title of the thread says. There seems to be a "he's a legend, everybody loves him" attitude among some people. Nobody ever has anything bad to say about him despite the quality of some of his performances in the last decade or so of his never ending career.
I don't dislike him as such but I don't hold him in the high esteem that some many people do.
4) LOI First Division. I don't like it when my team is in it and I certainly can't stand it when my team isn't in it. Being honest, the standard of football is dreadful.
As a LOI fan I'm expected to defend all aspects of the league. Sure, I love the Premier but the First is just a graveyard.
THese answers could be a bit rambling and not make much sense if any but bare in mind that they were written at 20 to 3 in the morning. I might edit them at another time when I can make more sense

Possibly a bit controversial:
Being considered celtic because I am from Ireland
I recall the big "Aren't we all Celts and aren't we all great" thing that started off in about 1994/95 and reached it's apex in around 1999. Everyone banging on about "our" lively culture, how everyone loves "us", how the whole world thinks the sun shines out of "our" @r$e - gah.
Well, actually, I descend on one side pretty strongly from the Normans, and I feel that side stronger than the "mad" stereotype that is being celtic. Nothing wrong with being celtic, but must I be more celtic than norman? Screw that for a game of motte and bailey.
I also feel a stronger connection with being a South Easterner, a European and even as a non-religious ethnic Catholic than with being Irish.

That's an interesting one. I have a dislike of being labelled "European". For whatever reason, I have a very clear distinction in my mind between continental Europeans and us islanders (including the Brits). And you can find Normans, Germans and Celts in my family history if you go back far enough.

1) "That Canadian women from Today FM" is Alison Curtis i think. Her show is supposedly very popular but I can't stand her or it.
Unless she's moved show she presents pretty much the only alternative/new music show on Today FM. I couldn't care what the presenter is like so long as someone fills this role -trite and imperfect as the shows often seem to me to be (lots about Oxegen, Q Mag driven etc)
2) Ireland national team. I'm supposed to like it because I'm Irish and I like football but I don't have any strong feelings about it. I can't remember watching any Ireland matches before the 02 world cup and I've barely watched a full one since. I'm just really not bothered with it.
...well International football is somewhat abstract in that it ties some pretty great footballers to some pretty crappy countries -and vice versa. Some of us find charm in that ...some evidently don't.
3) Paolo Maldini I have some respect for I suppose but i certainly don't "like" him as the title of the thread says. There seems to be a "he's a legend, everybody loves him" attitude among some people. Nobody ever has anything bad to say about him despite the quality of some of his performances in the last decade or so of his never ending career.
I don't dislike him as such but I don't hold him in the high esteem that some many people do. Fair enough. I will just say though that he enjoys the genuine admiration of his peers and there is little evident nudge-nudge about him being a fancy dan with bigger rep than ability (Beckham?). Nor is there apparent papering over cracks/ ignoring elephant in the living room like that relating to Shearers vicious streak and willingness to use his elbows.
LOI First Division. I don't like it when my team is in it and I certainly can't stand it when my team isn't in it. Being honest, the standard of football is dreadful. As a LOI fan I'm expected to defend all aspects of the league. Sure, I love the Premier but the First is just a graveyard.
THese answers could be a bit rambling and not make much sense if any but bare in mind that they were written at 20 to 3 in the morning. I might edit them at another time when I can make more sense
mid to lower? We're top! :p We'll have to just agree to disagree on the standard of football. I don't think it's a huge leap to be honest. Just so long as it's remembered that without the back there's no front, without down there's no up. Though I'd much rather the people at RTE and TV3 were appraised of this.

Maybe I don't gamble enough to have any interest.
I hardly gamble at all but still have a live interest in it. But that's probably someway attributable to former gambling and having a dad infatuated with the sport. In fairness it's probably not the most accessible of sports, in that the enjoyment levels only really kick in once you have a good knowledge-bank of the different owners, trainers, jockeys, types of races, etc. That said I still love watching races from anywhere in the world!
To be honest I don't understand the opinion that watching horses race around a track with little men atop is "pish" and isn't interesting or fun to watch. Having money down helps but I still like it regardless. :)
On Cheltenham, there might be a lot of hype, but there's good cause for it.
edit: More generally, I tend to look at things like what I say about Cheltenham: if there's hype there's probably some good underlying cause for it. A good example of an opposite attitude (that because there's hype you should decry something) I've encountered is these kind of Backpacker Snobs who won't go to a place because it's too touristy: "I'm not going to Machu Picchu cos it's too touristy." I mean like, there's probably a reason it's touristy! Why deny yourself the beauty of a certain area for the sake of slavish adherence to a principle. Of course, off-the-beaten-track places are nice too, but a mixture is good.
In general, sometimes you might need to look past the bloated reputation and find the true cause of the celebrated thing. I'd rather do that and appreciate the original attraction than take a dislike to something because it may be a little over-hyped.
Dodge
10/03/2009, 11:42 AM
I've no real problem with racing fans absolutely loving Cheltenham and I can certainly see the attraction of having the best of the best race each other over 4 days.
However I fecking hate people with no interest in the sport (or gambling) suddenly thinking they're experts and making their only bets of the year on Ruby. I gue3ss it’s the bandwagon I hate rather than the hype
