7 Things To Complain About Now that The Referendum Is Over

Ireland is a truly wonderful place to be right now. Love is in the air, society is at its most tolerant and everything is glittery and rainbow coloured. We are delighted the referendum passed with such incredible success. Alas, as we all sit down at our laptops this morning we can’t help but ponder – what the hell do we complain about now? Here are some of the things that we feel it’s now appropriate to be outraged at.

The Weather Forecast for Slane

It’s the start of festival season and exam weather and the sun is supposed to be shining. Alas, the weather forecast for the coming weekend is bleak and it’s more than likely that we’re going to be swooning to the Foo Fighters in our rain macs with watery pints.

Not Winning The Eurovision

Jaysis with the weekend that was in it we were convinced we had it in the bag. Don’t worry Molly, it’s all politics.

The Government

Averil Power has resigned from Fianna Fáil describing Micheál Martin as “a leader without any followers” and the party as “simply not fit for government”. That can’t be good but at least it gives us something to grumble about.

Money and Lack Thereof

The party was great, but now we’re broke. The exchange rate is brutal and something about pensions is happening. We don’t have mortgages but we probably can’t afford them. Our main concern in life now is plotting to make millions.

Exams

The Leaving is looming, college exams are still in full swing and professional exams are imminent. The referendum was a fun study break and all but now we’ve got some major catching up to do.

The Humidity

We’ve already mentioned the lack of sunshine but a separate weather conversation can be had the heaviness in the air. It’s gross. It’s sticky and it does nothing for our hair.

Traffic, Cyclists and Commuting

This one is an old fail safe for Irish pessimists. The traffic is always bad and cyclists are always annoying. Here here to true equality, equally hating everyone on the road.
