Random Irritations

[Lucifer MorningStar]

My irritation this morning was the bloke who connected his phone to the gyms speaker at 5am. I have no issues with that normally as I love training to music. However!! Belting out Westlifes Flying without wings and Adele’s Hello is absolutely not motivational at all or conducive to lifting heaving things!

At one point everyone was doing the Spiderman meme at each other trying to work out who put it on

On the contrary. I think if I was being forced to listen to Westlife I would be picking up the heaviest thing I could find and throwing it at the culprit.

But isn’t that the point of posting on here. You put something in the thread of interest to spark discussion on here, therefore thre will be others for and against the ideas put forward. As a result you have to accept in some instance you will have to defend your points. Isn’t that what this place is literally for.

Not everyone is going to agree especially when it comes to rule changes.

It would be ok if people just had to justify their post once, but inevitably it goes round and round and on and on with the posters saying the same things over and over again.
I can never imagine any situation where a club would make a decision then review this forum to see what other people, with no connection to the club and no knowledge of the exact situation, are saying and judge whether their original decision was right.

I’m not saying I disagree and I personally am for SILH clubs move on this specific topic. Just pointing out that’s the whole point of a forum though isn’t it if you post you need to accept there will be contrary views and you will have to defend your point to a certain extent .

The poster can also choose to only defend their point once or continue to be dragged in by the same people that will go against the grain just to be heard. People will always comment on things they don’t know especially if they think theirs is the only right solution. It’s like cheating isn’t it using a bot to book tee times as it is effectively cheating the system but many posters seem ok with that, yet guarantee that those same posters will be the first to claim they’d call out cheats on the course or never break a rule

More power to SILH clubs move for this change and to him for sticking to his guns.

Right I’m off to find the bloke who belted out Westlife that’s indefensible!

This might sound like a random thing to be irritated by but the mother in law has just turned up.
She asks us if we want to donate anything to the raffle for the MacMillan cancer day that she runs every year.

We are always happy to donate it’s a great cause and she does a great job in raising money for it.

My wife gives her a few bits and then she starts looking around and asking what else can she have as she hasn’t got as much as she would like for the raffle.

That really annoyed me as my wife is always very generous in donating and it seemed like it wasn’t enough.

It left my wife a bit upset as she feels now like she hasn’t given enough.

It’s raining… Regional selection, bowls, last Thursday was rained off. The rearranged selection day today for next weekend’s inter-provincials is also rained off.

The “gladden the heart” bit.

However, good news. I’ve been asked to put in my meal choices for Saturday & Sunday, and after querying it I’m told I’ve been selected for both days matches(4).

Excited & nervous…

Great news but clam yourself, I'm sure you've had meals out before

BTW what did you choose?

No need to be nervous Brian.
Just choose the food you want to eat, it’s quite easy.
Good luck mate and enjoy it, your mortgage is not on the line if you win or lose.

How should I dress? Will it be formal attire, jacket & tie? Which knives & forks to use first? Can I dip my bread into the soup?

1. To the left
2. Probably
3. Not an issue, just use fingers.
4. You're in Spain, it will be oil and vinegar, not soup, and you are meant to dip bread into oil

Glad to help

I’m an ejit!.... Ok no one disagreeing yet so I’ll tell you why and why its irritating

I’ve been getting my monthly audio book for years, usually get into a series etc & just finished book 15 of Gray Man, it came out 2 weeks ago but I'm thinking that’ll be another 8-12 months before the next one
So I thought I’d re-listen from the start again since they’re in the library anyway… Turns out I haven’t read book 1 yet!

Random irritation - the damn postbox at the end of our street. The most useless pillarbox in the world. The slot is not big enough to take even a very modestly sized card or letter. (if it's bigger than a second class stamp, it doesn't fit ...)
