Like cough medicine or something like that

worse than cough medicine. it smells like something you wouldn't want to be putting in your body.

It's like sweet, sweet nectar after a few cans of the tesco knock off:

Vile. You can smell it from yards away

Restaurants that do stupid gimmicky stuff with food

I ordered a salad which was presented in a variety of containers on a wooden board. A small fido jar contained three slices of lettuce and some feta with chick peas. On the side was a small fingerbowl thing with some croutons. The waiter handed me a large tin bowl, helpfully explaining it was for mixing the salad.

I let out an audible "what the fuck is this?" much to the amusement of the people at the table next to me.

Just stupid

Noah & Co in Liffey Valley

It was like a fucking royal wedding on Sean O'Rourke this morning - kind of like being forced to watch telly with your granny and there's no remote.

The best thing about these events is when they have Gerry Adams on and poke sticks at him.

Any chance of Mick bringing up access to the BBC iPlayer for those in the 26?

The conflation of the President's meeting with Queen Elizabeth and the death of Peaches Geldof was inspiring

Great gas hearing the military band erroneously playing 'Fuck the Pain Away' in tribute at Windsor this morning too.

That's Phil's jam btw.

YES! What's wrong with serving stuff on a ceramic plate? It's all fucking wooden chopping boards, tin buckets for chips & mason jars. Fuck that nonsense.

Those wooden serving boards freak me out, I have no scientific basis for it but I'm paranoid that they're a breeding ground for delicious bacteria awaiting to infuse itself into your steak.

I'm the same about wooden spoons.

You have 100 trillion bacteria in your body already. You're going to be fine.
Wood utensils and the like go in the same dishwasher as everything else.

The way The Journal prefix their tweets or facebook posts with 'Great News:' or 'Tragic News:' or one I saw today 'Amazing News:'

could you imagine if the Irish Times did this. Instead of News, Sport, etc the categories could be; Great News, Poxy News, News People couldn't give 2 fucks about.

Internet link-bait douche baggery at its finest. The web is ruined because of these attention grabbing cunts.

Even worst than those lame descriptions are the 'call to action' headlines. I believe I saw one on The Journal a while back that went along the lines of "10 Irish book shops you have to visit before you die". Like seriously? I really need to visit some fucking book shops before I die? The world is over-rated.

yep

This blogger found Upworthy-style headlines very annoying. You’ll find his response utterly plausible | Dean Burnett | Science | theguardian.com

Wooden chopping boards/utensils are naturally antiseptic so you're grand.
