We should have quietly organised a sweepstake on who would be the first to mention them sincerely, although I guess everybody would have just bet on Foe.

Something else that fucks me off is when you post something in here (it was originally 'the little things in life that fuck you off', remember) and some knobhead goes 'Oh, I don't hate that, it's too small and inconsequential to hate, I don't even think about it.'
STFU.
Don't be that guy.
Yeah, I'm not a massive fan since they have become 'a thing'. It's a bit "look how zany I am!" which is never a good thing. That said, I do have a Christmas T-Shirt this year (I didn't buy it) in the oeuvre of Home Alone (Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal).
Yeah but I was only asking for people that agree with me.
Well that sort of behaviour is a little thing that fucks me off, I guess.
Thanks, Giggles. Googling that led to me reading this:

Is that written by Fry?
I actually never realised it was an Irish only thing. It's those absolute wanker 'goys' rigger bigger shower that usually partake, normally boxing heads or puking by pub 6.
Places are copping on though at least.
"Oh yes, we have to have rules - for the banter, for the craic."
Not heard of that before.
Top banter.Rules? "Oh yes, we have to have rules - for the banter, for the craic."
A quick search online brings some up:
Left-handed pub - drink only with your left hand
No swearing pub - no swearing
Silent pub - no speaking
Swapsies pub - swap shoes with someone in your group
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rugby lads are wankers and banter is for arseholes. We know that. But people who write like this are worse:
But suddenly, a hollering collection of young yahoos in garish Christmas jumpers adorned with flashing lights descends and I am abruptly jolted out of my reverie.
What on earth are they doing in what is affectionately known as an old man's pub, bereft of loud muzak, glassy fixtures, and wall-to-wall TVs? Their presence jars insanely with the aged, nicotine-consecrated walls I love so well.
Just fucking
You wouldn't believe the amount of people avoid places in Dublin, or going out in the city completely, around Christmas because of it.
I really enjoyed pub culture in Dublin I mist admit. Ended up meeting more people in one night than I have here in a year.
That guy can sure use a thesaurus.
Christmas jumpers.
I don't own one, but if you've worked in an office Christmas Jumper day really is a joy to behold. Makes everything feel so festive. Productivity plummets too.
Miserable cunts you lot are.
Does it make it harder to plug all those cables in/out though?
Alright Harold, it was just an excuse to have a dig, no need to go all pedants corner. I was hoping you'd claim you were a proper engineer again, but this works fine too.
Stating facts isn't claiming.
They're doing some kind of dress-down day at work in a few weeks where people are meant to wear Christmas jumpers for charity, in the realms of IT that's very much dressing up.
I normally make sure I've finished for the year before the token christmas stuff happens. I think I've seen the work christmas tree once in 8 years.
Don't poke fun at me then liken me to Bish.
I was at this pub called The Trinity on Dame St. Good place.
Yeah I was staying up the road at The Westinn and needed somewhere to watch the football on boxing day. Couldn't find anywhere for love nor money until we stumbled on that place. I think I might go back sometime soon actually. Good Christmas place for sure.
Just remembered something I hate - quidditch. What a stupid, inherently flawed sport - 150 points for the golden snitch? Why do the chasers even bother? 'Oh, but what about when Krum caught the blah blah and the Irish still won waaa waaa' nah fuck off, Krum's a twat. Probably got paid off by the crooked IQA. I heard a theory that JKR did it on purpose to annoy people like me, in which case...fair play.
Yeah I've always found it a flawed game for the same reason.
I quite like the twitter account but that's too far.
I don't like get in the sea anymore either. I think it is a case of, well, to paraphrase Shakespeare or someone, 'first they came for the topknots, and I did not speak out - because I did not have a topknot, blah blah, and then they had a go at something I liked and I got pissed off'.
What's Get In The Sea?
I'm a twit
I'm a twit
I did just read the word 'spunktrumpets' though so it's not all bad.
Forgetting which card number is mine and accidentally ordering a takeaway on the work credit card.
We've had a 'year group' Christmas dinner every year since we all started in purgatory and a decision was taken that we'd wear Christmas jumpers at one of them. I could have refused to participate on point of principle, but why would you be that much of a wanker over trivia.
Good point, Adolf Eichmann.
I've just been furiously trying to get the wrong size bulb into a light fitting.
Wow, just seen on FB a friend of a friend who is smoking hot is actually a lesbian and she's gotten engaged. Finally, a hot lesbian couple. Erm, no. She's with a chubby 3/10.
What is wrong with the world.
There's a lass I used to work with who had some good taste in woman. Then she ruined it by getting engaged to a 15 year-old.
Oh...oh it's a joke apparently.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Stupid fucking bitches.
