Things That Are Wrong

Folks who own German made cars like BMWs or Mercs and who have their Irish regs in the style of German ones. Wrong!

Never seen that - have they the county crests where Germans have theirs or what makes them German?

:lol:

“Cows have rampaged through town centres of Kilmallock and Ennis during mart days, bringing cattle to a standstill as a result.”

I presume that’s meant to say “traffic” and not “cattle” or else those two towns are more rural than I had previously imagined.

It’s just not moooving

People who step onto an escalator (especially the level ones) and just stand there. Standing there like fucking morons. Walk on to fuck you sons of bitches.

Why didn’t you just use the normal stairs if you wanted to exert yourself on an escalator?

Edit: On a level one, like in airports, the may walk on to fuck.

It’s ok if people want to stand on escalators as long as they stand to the left so they are not delaying busy business men like myself as I go from the foodcourt at the top level of Arthurs Quay to the newsagents on the bottom level

In Blighty you stand on the right, but the essence of your point is well made. There is no excuse for not walking on when on a flat escalator though. None whatsoever.

They use the same font as the Germans do, you’d know it if u saw it

Sutterlin script?

Cheltenham

Ooooooooooooh how controversial

I should have said the tards who have no interest in racing who go weak at the knees when the opportunity arises that is a ‘sure fire thing, a jockey who knows my sister says so’. But I feel the word ‘cheltenham’ will suffice for now as an all encapsulating term for the giddyness only a few Irish people seem to get during this week.

I’d agree with that. Because I was involved in a few racehorses every coont at work or wherever would hassle me for tips expecting me to know it all. I can’t stand being in a betting shop on Cheltenham week watching women trying to put €2 each way on a 9/4 shot while holding up genuine punters and then men coming in thinking they’re shrewdies because their mate got a ‘good thing’ tip.
It’s the main reason I havnt gone to Cheltenham or not gone back to the Galway festival.

I would definitely agree re: Galway. It wrecks my brain how a meeting that quality wise wouldn’t be in the top of 5 Irish race meetings is seen as the be all and end all of Irish racing by the general public. But you have to hand it to Galway, they are some boys to pull a party out of nothing.

More anti-bandwagoning. Really have no interest in racing of any sort myself, and only ever went once, but so what if people have a bit of crack for the week. Sure they don’t have a fucking clue, dead right to be only putting 2 euro on a horse.

That’s all it is though, a party. Just like Cheltenham is an occasions for eejits to stroll around in leprechaun outfits! Unfortunately the best racing on both sides of the water just happens to be on at these meetings too. I much prefer watching it on the box, where I can see it all and then go to a good festival like Punchestown or Listowel! Call me old fashioned!!

Kev, if you were at an all Ireland final in Croke park and you were seated behind someone who was roaring nonsense or a woman that was complaining that the jerseys and socks weren’t colour coordinated, would it get on your nerves? I’m almost sure it certainly would. I get the same feeling when I see people at races backing horses because they like their name or the colours they’re wearing.

Would not bother me too much. Anyone shouting and roaring in a bookies though is a bit of a retard anyway though don’t you think?
