The constant misuse of language, offended seems to be a particular favourite to misuse these days.

Talk me through this one bud. They were offended because you said hello to them?


I think it was probably the manner of it. I mean, it's fine to nod and say "hi there" as you walk past someone in the street.

Helicoptering your junk around, shaking your hips, as you sit down uncomfortably close to the only other person on the bus, a 19 year old student, saying "well hello there", that's probably over the line.

Maybe I have been in England too long, but I would find it a bit uncomfortable if a stranger said hello on the street.

Maybe offended was too harsh a word haha. People turning their noses up or giving dirty looks if you say hello, or how are ya. When you are just being friendly.

I have never ever encountered a friendly hello been met with dirty looks - maybe it's you LOL

Was on a Mental Health Awareness course today and the instructor told a story of a client of hers who is receiving therapy for PTSD after pulling a body of a teenage boy out of a river. In the kid's pocket was a note that said 'If somebody says hello to me on my way, I won't jump.'

Don't underestimate the power of a 'Hello'.

What about if the note said : 'if someone says hello, I am going to jump'.

It is great that such courses are now happening, I just can't help feeling  that these sorts of stories have been told on different courses by instructors  for a long time and the cynic in me always wonders about their veracity.

That three ad where the girl says "this isn't fair" and the lad says "don't worry, we'll get somewhere".

The basic subtext of the ad seems to be that a young couple can't afford to get a place of their own but f**k it, you've got a smartphone, so they should be grateful for that much and ignore the financial system, set up and ruled by their boomer parent's generation, which screws them over and treats a home as a privilege, and denigrates them for being avocado toast munching, fancy coffee drinking, millennial pri*ks. F**k that. It annoys the f**k out of me that it seems to say it's grand that housing is f**ked so long as you have a smartphone. I dunno who thought that was a good idea.

Incidentally, before anyone says anything, it's not because of my own housing situation that the ad annoys me. My housing situation is thankfully now well under control.

Not yet, but it's moving that way. Solicitor on the vendor's side is very slow with contracts.

Hopefully shouldn't be too long all the same.

The overuse of the minute's silence. There is going to be one at the Celtic game tomorrow for Sala. He has no connection to either club, his family, I assume, couldn't give a flying f**k, so sixty thousand people have to shut up for a minute.
It is baffling! The only way anybody will care is if a supporters bus turns up late, full of booze and singing, then the media will have to find out if his mother found it distressing.

There are far too many of the f**king things, even outwith the FAI.

When commentators talk over the Champions League anthem when it is being played. 

Also when George Hamilton keeps mentioning George Friedrich Handel and 'Zadok the Priest' every time the Champions League anthem starts up.
