Seriously though, couldn't agree more. I've noticed it a lot more recently for some reason.

There are some ads, especially on the radio, that annoy me so much I change the station. One at the moment is where the lady thinks that there must have been a misprint on the posters advertising a brand new Golf for €16,000.
Also, spending that kind of money on a car. Fair enough, maybe, if you're a car fanatic or loaded.
I like to think of negative meanings of ads. That one's a good example. I interpret her incredulity as being at an excessive price. Now, subconsciously, I think Golfs are overpriced. Eat **** and die, marketers.Quote:

That never occurred to me actually. I think they're overpriced anyway though, consciously and subconsciously.Quote:

When people say 'ye' when referring to only 1 person. I notice a lot of Derry fans do it so maybe it's a Northern thing.
When people say 'ye' in general
Better than 'yiz' like the Dubs do or 'yous' like Donegal ;).Quote:

Its pronounced differently in Dublin (but spelt the same).

Because they just 'beam' up and down to the flat. So I assume the heat would melt the cheese?Quote:

Never mind banning Easi Singles, make it an offence to serve melted cheese on any foodstuff.Quote:

It's not an allergy with me, just hate the appearance and smell of melted cheese.
I was on holidays in Rome a few years ago, having booked in to our accomodation we decided to venture out for a bite to eat. We found a nice little restaurant and secured a table. After looking at a fairly extensive menu, I decided I might as well discover what pizza tastes like in the country that made the dish popular. The waitress arrived and I ordered my usual preference consisting of, Ham, Onion, Mushroom, Peppers and Sweetcorn. I then mentioned that there was to be no cheese whatsoever on the pizza. Visibly startled, she stared at me and said..no cheese? are you sure?. Positive I replied, as she scurried back towards the kitchen with our order. Moments later I noticed the door to the kitchen ajar and the waitress, now accompanied by a chef, pointing over towards our table. The chef was scratching his head with disbelief as he retreated back to his kitchen. A "cheeseless pizza" arrived in front of me shortly after and I made short work of it
There's a saying .." When in Rome, do as the Romans do"...but when it comes to melted cheese I have to make a stand.
I don't think you can call it a pizza if it doesn't have cheese on it!
The wifelet hates melted cheese too. It's just so wrong. Tuna melt!
Now that is wrong!Quote:

Now where's the "what was the last thing you had to eat" thread gone...
Yessss. So I'm not the only one :D
Four Star pizza, no sauce, with heaps of their sauce. Portion of wedges and a can of coke. Heaven.
Pretty confusing order.Quote:
