The EADD Trifle Annoyed Thread - Wobbly & Custard

Aye, I always thought it was funny when G.W Bush said, ''I'm proud to be a merkin''.

I used to chuckle at credits for 'The Simpsons' because an executive producer was called David Mirkin :)
 
Starting to think that buying a few thousand euros a while back was a bad mistake :( - was a great deal at the time, not looking so good now.
 
I absolutely hate this country

I am getting a disciplinary in work for making a comment about a union jack charm. The mother was trying to dissuade her from buying it, so I joked "maybe mommy will buy it when you can name all the flags that make it up" which the mother laughed about. But now they've put in a complaint because I made a 'political' statement.

anyone who knows me knows I have absolutely no political stance and would never start something over a stupid fucking flag.
 
It's really sucky.

I was actually kidding with the little girl about it, but it appears they think I was making a statement.

probably because they can't fucking name all the flags.
 
Yeah it's very sensitive in some places here. I belong to no religious community but put myself as part of the Protestant community on my Civil Service application, as they said they were positively discriminating for protestant males.

After the Belfast Agreement, we got rid of the RUC which was so heavily protestant. The PSNI was created and they wanted to make it as close as 50/50 as possible. They give large redundancies to some of the old guard. However, the Catholics still didn't want to join the PSNI, so they ended up having the re-hire some of the people made redundant..and bring in some people from other forces in the UK.

Our Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers is so out of touch with us too. It's been a long time we've had a SoS that didn't just see the position as a stepping stone up the cabinet.

Hell, homosexuals can't give blood over here ffs! I don't know if it's still the same but when I used to come home from Manchester airport, there was a separate line for Irish passengers. We all had to stand to get out individual photos taken. I understand the whole terror bombing campaign and their wariness. However, that's our NI dilemma. We have to real identity. You may say Unionist or Nationalist but many of those who see themselves as Irish, still feel like a different kid of Irish. I suppose it's kind of like the States in the USA.

I guess most things the British Empire touched turned to shit. Same with the Catholic Church. Ireland has been a small pawn and testing ground for years. I'm not griping like a victim. There are many other nations/ethnicities who are still getting it far worse than we ever did.

I'm Nationalist but have no ill-will towards British people, or any other nationality for that matter. I'm more of a populist nationalist - if in the next referendum, we voted just very marginally to remain in the UK, I would accept that. I accept the will of the people, no matter how backwards it can sometimes be. We are just a wee province with 30 years of catching up to do. I think it would definitely help if hey made Irish history more interesting in school. It's so dry.

So much of the bigotry is just a postcode lottery. Depending on where you grow up you will either be tolerant or hate prods or taigs and not be able to explain why, beyond ''The Pope''. I cringe so much when foreign media covers our riots and 11th July bonfires. They try to interview these people about why they hate the others. All you get is 'Fuck the Pope' or 'Fuck King Billy'.

''If you know your history, then you would know where you're coming from''.
 
Been going into a right fucking arse over the tiniest thing for the past week, constant irritability, and it's been doing my head in, was putting it down to being hormonal til I had a cigarette cos I was so wound up and it all went away. Never been like that with baccy before but been smoking shit loads of joints since my bong broke and course I can't smoke weed when I'm working so I'm going the whole day without any nicotine and getting shitty as hell. Bugger. Didn't occur to me cos I don't smoke cigs normally.
 
Guy who works evenings on the place I do keeps leaving his mugs and rubbish on the desk for me in a morning. I can't be arsed to mention it cos I've had to ring up about him three or four times in the past three days for stuff ranging from 'I should probably mention this so he knows' to 'You'd get fired if I didn't tell you' already so debating just leaving them and seeing if he drinks from a progressively more dirty mug or just builds a tiny mug family on the desk. There's no receptionist during the day so it's not like anyone is going to complain. Except me. Because fuck you I'm not doing your washing up.
 
Had my meeting with area manager.

customers lied through their teeth and have stated that I was speakiactually extremely political way. actually could cry.
 
Ahhh the joys of retail. Leave your personality at the door and promote the vaccuous. homogonise yourself or dont eat. Its fucking shite misses. Dont envy you one bit. Tis very often a souless journey. Hope you manage to find a position that allows you some personal freedom. You seem to give a shit, it tends to shaft you in retail unfortunately, and gets taken advantage of from multiple angles
