impatient, obnoxious, petty, argumentative, and obsessed over meaningless details
I have been forced to flee to Cork due to an Internet famine in my apartment in Dublin. The line has been physically cut somewhere underground near the exchange. I wrote this a few days ago: I went to the Oktoberfest on the Sunday of the opening weekend. It was much nicer to go at [...]
The poor Germans cant catch a break. I wont go back too far for this list but a few things that come to mind: The Human Centipede.
