Stuff that grinds your gears

I wasn't watching the match, nor the Cork match today either, I just saw a pic of the mother with this big dumb sign and thought it was cringeworthy.

Cork getting their asses kicked by Limerick did bring a smile to my face btw.

What?

So I shouldn't take you at your word in terms of what you post here?

Either you enjoyed your own county being beaten, which is pathetic.

Or your aren't from Cork and yet have spent years posting on a Cork forum, which is also pathetic.

Or you weren't delighted by the result but are pretending that you are in order to try and wind me up, which is (you guessed it) also pathetic.

I'll take the third option.

I will say one thing though, the roads were grand and quiet yesterday with Cork playing in Limerick, it's a shitshow then there's a big game on in Cork.

Who is bringing GAA crap in here, we have a sports forum folks.

The peace and quiet this afternoon was only wonderful while that match was on.

And no, I didn't watch it either and no the world did not stop either.

Even if you don't like sport, and hate the GAA, how can you not support the Cork footballers and hurlers? These are real decent fellas who sacrifice their lives for the sport they love and often put their personal lives on hold, with no personal financial gain, while they are playing.

It's sport at its purest and long may it continue and remain.

All you will get in response from that eejit is grab all association, bog ball and a whole load of things he thinks sound smart but you haven't heard since the playground

I'm getting very emotional reading this tbh.

Don't mind that crank Mike.

Two ads that are getting on my nerves recently

The first one is the Laya health care ad. Guy in a doctors office just about to get the results of a scan, starts remembering important life events, which makes you think this is a cancer diagnosis about to drop or not.

Then it cuts back to the diagnosis and it's for a sprained ankle or something else completely minor

Now, that fucking Aldi ad. Stuck at the side of the road, broken down laughing about it, because they have some fucking chicken rolls from Aldi.

Yeah sound.

But then it gets to the dad, who is presented as a complete moron and one who is happy to be so. Has anyone else noticed it's always the man who is the clown in these ads. Dad forgot to put petrol in the car because he's dumb.

Dad regularly forgets to put petrol in the car because he's dumb.

Imagine if an ad came out about Mam being a clueless idiot who regularly forgets to put petrol in the car.....

Rant over

Aldi could do an ad where they show the asshole who regularly parks in the parent and child spaces with the message ‘don’t be like Derek/Deirdre’.

Laya’s ads are moronic. They had one up to recently with a message from some influencer ‘making you better before you’re even ill’.

Really, how the fuck are you doing that then?

Arseholes.

Without opening a can of worms, you are broadly correct in your last line.

Society norms and thinking shape a huge amount of how we view right and wrong.

I encounter it a lot when dealing with couples, one thinking they are in a stronger position because they are aligned more with society views, particularly around parenting and decision making.

Look also at TV, sitcoms etc. I always think the show Everybody Loves Raymond is a prime example of how if the roles were reversed there would be a far different view.

There was a bus load from Noels at the match yesterday, Not sure how many made it home yet,
