Quotesenior players not turning up for friendlys.. disgraceful
Players turning up to play for their country. Disgraceful, especially if they have more than 20 caps.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
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.Originally Posted by DeLorean
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
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.
Because you haven't bought it yet?Try again.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
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'm just impressed you made it to the second semester of undergrad Journalism. I blame the drinks promotions.Shorthand, what a load of pointless, ridiculous old bollicks.

Acornvilla being a grouch in other threads
sorry oscar bit stressed at the moment.. taking a breather here for a few minutes..
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."the use of the word nincompoop
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.
