    thats the problem with the ryanair flights, getting to the airport, waiting, checking in and then waiting for your flight is that it takes about 4 hours in total and the flight lenght time might only be an hour.

    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

    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.

    Have only been on the luas once and while it was fast and effecient -its gonna make dublin a mecca for frottage fettishists the world over.

    Haven't read all 5 pages so dunno if anyones mentioned mobile phones.

    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.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

    Just a couple of things.

    *Meeting groups of people on the footpath who'd rather force you out on the road than make a bit of space for you.

    *People packing your bag in Tesco/Dunnes and trying to guilt you out of your spare change.

    *Any of these programs that get their laughs out of "unsuspecting members of the public". The worst being MTV's Boiling Point..

    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.

    Have to say thats a great one. There's the choice whether to walk on and risk insulting the person or stop and undergo the chit chat nonsense thats awkard as hell and goes nowhere and is equally crappy for everyone involved. Lose lose situation that one.

    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...

    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!!!

    You'd want to get that looked into.
    You could develop an ulcer and in some cases, stomach cancer.
    If you're too much of a lad to go to a doctor, search some medical sites on the Internet for more information.
    It would be foolish to neglect your health.
    To help you out, here are two links which you should read.
    Indigestion link...
    Stomach Cancer link...

    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
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
