Lets face it, Dublin people are loud. But if they listened they might learn something…..

This phenomenon is part of a wider social pathology. It’s examined in “Look at Me: Celebrating the Self in Modern Britain” by Peter Whittle (I know it’s about Britain but we’re affected too). I must read it;

“Few would disagree that the need that most of us have to be appreciated by others – by our family, our friends and peers – is natural and healthy. The desire to be well-thought of can act as both a spur to individual achievement as well as a glue for keeping society together. Striving to be top in the field, to hone a particular talent, or to simply make money if that’s your chosen path, can be inspiring and attractive.

But the need to be special, to be taken uncritically at one’s own self-evaluation, or to draw attention to oneself at every opportunity, is something else entirely. Claiming uniqueness regardless of talent or deed, by making oneself the most seen, by shouting the loudest, or simply by way of brute force, might give the individual satisfaction – although this alone is highly questionable – but the effect on society’s morale can be both destructive and divisive. ”

This is the same phenomenon with school kids on the bus, like the bus I was on today. Inner city school kids shouting shit and I wanted to kill them all. I fucking hate people who shout-talk, bloody mongs drown them all.

Freecell is a tool of the Devil.

Igowin – free Download – is another addictive way to while away the hours without risk of pregnancy or blindness.

Heh Batty. Well I’m back home now, all numb in the face. If only I could reach down as far as my…..

The dentist gave me a huge discount of 80 euro for referring business to him. Very decent Canadian chap that he is. And not a twinge of pain.

You’re confusing me with my brother, Twenty. But I’ll keep him away for as long as I can. He’s giving me the arse with the seadog crap as well.

Holemaster- are you trying single handedly to get your entire lifelong National Insurance contributions back inside a month or something?

Dentists, Doctors, Nurses (heh, Nurses). If you don’t watch it you’ll end up healthy or something by accident.

oh yeah, the different parts of spain are about as different as wales/scotland/england.

same is true in italy and germany.

I always that other countries were all chums within their own borders.

It ain’t necessarily so.
