I find getting there for when check-in opens, having my details ready and not checking in luggage works a treat. Means a 2 hour wait around, but thats why they made airport bars. Much easier travelling alone, less hassle - Pat o, you have been warned :DQuote:

Knock is a great place to fly into however, you are off the plane and home( home being anywhere in connaucht,) in at most an hour. usually takes 25 mins for meself. add the fact that there are no real transport costs and flights at the moment are only £20 or so return, it really is a great airport. pitch for knock airport over :D
Similar to people having their credit card refused for the rental car and then wandering around for half an hour looking for the car! ;)Quote:

You see quite alot of rage on the Victoria line of a monring (and thats just me) :D
Not uncommon on the LUAS in the mornings too. A few weeks ago the doors were being obstructed by someone and eventually the driver comes on the intercom, "Get away from the F*ckin' doors, for F*ck sake!". I got a bit of a laugh out of it I must say.Quote:

I hate them.
I hate everything about them.
Their chavtastic novelty ringtones, their cameras, their all pervading insipidness, their shape, their colours, their invasive destructive manipulative effects on peoples behaviour, their most likely dangerous side effects from even modest use.
Any time i point these things out i get a schpiel that usually involves a mobile having saved the life of some young wan up a mountain. This makes me ask -when did we all take up mountaineering?
I think the thing I hate most about them is that they're too convenient and easy to fiddle with and that their proliferation was just so overwhelming in so short a space of time that it killed any chance of an ettiquette regarding appropriate use developing at a managable rate.
Hence people use them anywhere and everywhere like it's perfectly natural and normal to sit in company screaming into a lump of bacalite and quartz about shi tty coverage.
I got a train (for the very last time) recently and nothing couldve prepared me. It had been a few years and back then when i used commute I'd use my spin on the train to chill and even get some sleep. But no more.
It was like a video arcade -people screaming pointless conversations into these yokes.
One guy rang his wife an hour out of Limerick to tell her he was on the train -where the fcuk did he think she might think he was? She probably booked the ticket, checked the timetable, made his corned-beef sandwich (I'd swear he was a Clare man -Clare people always bring corned beef sandwiches on train journeys.) and dropped him to the station.
Hate that too but what I hate more is people who reply "Monday, all day"Quote:

When you bump into someone who you know, but only sort of know, and they're walking in the direction you are. You don't really know them, but you sort of feel like you have to walk with them anyway, and it's just awkward because you've NOTHING to talk about. Hard to explain it but it's terrible when it happens anyway.

One of the posts above reminds me, feckin Heartburn every feckin day really annoying :mad:
a few more.
awkward silences with someone you half know or just met to which i roar out intermittently to break the silence:
"fat penguins!" , to which the response is "Huh, whats this flute on about" to which i reply "break the ice"
...i think thats a great one.
walking down the street and thinking someonoe is looking at you, and then thinking do i know this person?? to which you think you must as they are still looking at you, then saying hello to realise that its the person behind you they are saying hello too... :o :o
follow up on that one above, thinking you know someone when you are walking down the street, contemplating if it def is them and then going up and saying how are you getting no mick, and then realising its not fooken mick!!!
falling asleep on a bus or tube or train or whatever form of public transport, waking up getting the initial "shock" hoping no one knew you were asleep and that you werent snoring really loud or drooling. on that note i know of someone who fell asleep on a total strangers shoulder on a bus!!!
finally, coming out of the turnstiles in the tube and someone in front swipes their oyster/ticket and then you swipe yours, theirs fails, but your doesnt and you hold everyone up, meanwhile the fooken fairy in front goes off smirking ARRRGHHH!!! :mad:
You'd want to get that looked into.Quote:

Stomach Cancer link...
Lecture over. ;)
but sure does everyone not get that after drinking or eating a large meal?
carsenogenic(?) drinks can cause heartburn which they do reckon can cause foodpipe cancers.
People who insist on sitting down at socccer matches(particularly away matches).They then say "I paid for my seat" no you didnt you paid for entry into a soccer match so you could watch it,you didnt pay to sit on a plastic seat for 90 mins
