Behaviour which needs to be banned...

[OwlsFan]

Players turning up to play for their country. Disgraceful, especially if they have more than 20 caps.

[Acornvilla]

senior players not turning up for friendlys.. disgraceful :)

[DeLorean]

-People making no attempt to pay back money of their own accord. They will never actually give it back without being continuously reminded.

-People obviously blocking your view of a television in a bar without a care in the word.

-Ever get a snackbox with curry & stuffing? well it's much nicer when they dump the stuffing on first and then drown it in curry. It's pretty dry the other way round so I'd like to ban this.

-When you get a sandwich/roll in a shop and they only put butter/mayonnaise on one side. I feel kind of petty telling them to put it on both but it's important to me, so I do!

-When somebody asks you for some of your drink and they wipe the top of the bottle with their dirty hands, a real pet hate of mine.

-People being needlessly loud, banging doors, thumping up and down the stairs, banging on the keyboard like it's a typewriter, etc.

-People leaving doors open, especially the sitting room door while I'm in there with the heating on.

I have forwarded this to the other members of the Commission, and they are particularly keen to work on some of this, particularly your problem with snackboxes with curry and stuffing. It has been put on the agenda for the next scheduled meeting in May. I must say that I am quite confident that we can get approval for the banning of Snackboxes that contain both stuffing and curry at that sitting.

[DeLorean]

Thanks Bluebeard, you'll be relieved to hear I am off snackboxes and the likes for Lent though. If you could just focus on getting the other stuff sorted for the time being.

On a similar vein, people who come in to a room, turn on the telly and then leave the room with the telly still on. It was off for a reason!

[osarusan]

It was off for a reason!
Because you're too lazy to get up and turn it on?

[pineapple stu]

Try again. ;)

[Schumi]

Try again. ;)
Because you haven't bought it yet?

[pineapple stu]

Well yeah, there's that as well.

[OwlsFan]

You want peace and quiet to look at your porn mags?

[Bluebeard]

You've only got RTE 1 and 2?

[Bluebeard]

Shorthand, what a load of pointless, ridiculous old bollicks.:mad:

I'm just impressed you made it to the second semester of undergrad Journalism. I blame the drinks promotions.

I entirely agree with the above bold parts, and especially the final two. People making loud noises, completely unaware of it drives me crazy. Go into a room, close over the door behind you, you nincompoop!


no i won't go to the off license thursday night or go to a restaurant friday,i shouldn't have to,this isn't the middle east,time to come out of the dark ages

Beer's plentiful and cheap in most countries here, you should try it sometime!

[oscar]

the use of the word nincompoop:)

[thischarmingman]

the use of the word nincompoop:)

When I use it, I always think of the way Blackadder says it in Series 2; "In order nincompoop, that she should believe you're her husband."

Just something about the way he pronounces it savouring every syllable, and also the way he says 'In order...'

:)

[pineapple stu]

Rowan Atkinson has a stutter, and stressing particular consonants - b and p in the main - help him overcome it apparently. Makes some of his phrases even more memorable. You see if whenever he addresses Bob in Blackadder Goes Forth as well.

What do you expect in a country whose constitution still starts with the line: "In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred"?
Not starting from a great baseline there really. :D

[OwlsFan]

Who's that. CJH, Bertie and Brendan Cowan?

[stann]

Brendan Cowan?

Who's that, an (even more) evil twin? :D

That'll be 12 hail mary's!

Winning 3-0 away.

Oh no, wait... :p

[gustavo]

From listening to Des Curran's commentary on Setanta Ireland ,I'd have to say - the pronunciation of the word "his" as "he's"

[Onefootednopace]

People who fail to wash their hands after using the toilet facilities, there's a couple of individuals where I work who are guilty of this. No excuse, 4 sinks with hot and cold water, 2 hand dryers and 2 paper towel dispensers available.

Do you work at McDonald's or Subway??

[Onefootednopace]

Do you work at McDonald's or Subway??

No, I'm not working in the catering/ hospitality industry.
Regardless of the work environment, I still can't understand why this lack of basic hygiene is commonplace.

[PartySaint]

People who think you have to hate England and love the GAA to be a Patriotic Irish man

[Acornvilla]

i like england and dislike the gaa what does that make me?

[Longfordian]

Gay...

[Acornvilla]

i am quite happy actually but not in the fudge packing sence :)

[Schumi]

i like england and dislike the gaa what does that make me?

English? ;)

[Acornvilla]

i dont think i am..? dad was born in birmingham does that make me english? :) maybe i'd like the gaa if it wasnt full of narrow minded english hating but rugby loving culchies! (i'm from longford i know anyone outside of inner city dublin is a culchie) :)

[John83]

i like england and dislike the gaa what does that make me?
It makes you someone who likes England and dislikes the GAA and capital letters.

Anyone who draws further inferences from those facts is someone who draws further inferences from those facts... and also a tosser.

EDIT: Sorry Schumi.

[Schumi]

maybe i'd like the gaa if it wasnt full of narrow minded english hating but rugby loving culchies!
And if the games weren't so ****e!

Always amuses me how rugby fans can call gaelic football ****e. It's basically the same game except for the perfectly sensible decisions to allow you to play the ball forward and not allow the entire of both teams to jump on top of each other and stay there gouging eyes for a while*.

* - It is too possible for something to be not allowed and yet encouraged...

So I suppose my latest contribution to behaviour which needs to be banned is rugby in any form.

[smellyfeet]

leaving skid marks in the loo

[Schumi]

Always amuses me how rugby fans can call gaelic football ****e. It's basically the same game except for the perfectly sensible decisions to allow you to play the ball forwardwhich removes most of the difficulty of playing it. You may as well argue that gaelic is better than football because of the perfectly sensible decision to allow you to use your hands.

And LOL at the notion that gaelic matches don't end up with players from both teams jumping on each other! I think it's called a shemozzle.

[pineapple stu]

See my asterisk. ;)

Also, "difficult" and "entertaining" aren't synonyms.

[brendy_éire]

leaving skid marks in the loo

But then how would people know you were there before them?

[juan]

See my asterisk. ;)

No thanks, I'm not into that kinda thing :p

[juan]

Leave them a note?

[DeLorean]

People who are obsessed with hating one sport or another and continuously go on about it. Chances are if you hate a sport that much you don't know a whole pile about it anyway.

Agree completely about the skid marks, that brush in the corner has a purpose believe it or not. On that note why is it that when you can hear somebody doing some wreckless damage in the next cubicle, heavy breathing, ferocious splattering, even the occasional moan....when you come across that guy by the sinks he always turns out to be a fat chap?

[pineapple stu]

Did you ever watch You Are What You Eat?

[smellyfeet]

But then how would people know you were there before them?

Why would you want them to know?

[Schumi]

Why would you want them to know?

Marking your territory. :eek:

[Bluebeard]

Leaving skid marks absolutely any place OTHER than the toilet.
