Behaviour which needs to be banned...

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

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

-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.

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!

Because you're too lazy to get up and turn it on?

Try again. ;)

Well yeah, there's that as well.

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

You've only got RTE 1 and 2?

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!

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

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...'

:)

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

That'll be 12 hail mary's!

Winning 3-0 away.

Oh no, wait... :p

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

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.

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.

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

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

Gay...

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

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.

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.
