Things you could but cant do in ireland anymore?

sitout · 17-05-2009 5:06am #1

1; Ride a motor bike without a helmet
2; Sit and drive a car without a seat belt
3; Smoke in a pub whilst having a drink
4; Drive home after 4/5 pints and not be afraid of being stopped by a guard
5; Leave your kids in the car for a half an hour while you mother pops into the shop

These are just a few i can think of I'm sure there are many more. I'm not saying they are good or bad (but mostly i think our once great nation is now fukced and we cant take a piss or we will but crucified for it)

I hate not being able to drive home after a night on the piss anymore!!

What next?? They'll ban me from firing my crossbow into crowds!!

Damn government!

get a job?

Apparently stating on your priesthood application "I want to touch kids and get away with it" bars you from entry nowadays.

They left that Tick Box off the application form because it's a prerequisite for the job!

Go out with just a tenner in your packet, get plastered, buy a packet of 10 smokes, and then get a single of chips for the wife on the drive home.

Buy a house for what its actually worth and not what we are told it IS worth.

Watch bosco and think its brilliant TV

Watch rosie and jim before you go to school

Eat a bag of peanuts without a warning saying "warning, may contain nuts" on it

Put out a wheelie bin knowing the council are paying for it

Walk to school - you have to be driven these days in an SUV apparently

get dressed in a council estate. Pennys pyjamas are the law now

build a house without having a wheelchair ramp. I wouldnt invite a wheelchair bound person into my house anyway, they will only mark my floors so why should i be oblidged by law to build them a fcvking ramp.

buy a car in the uk and not get asked for thousands of spondoolies when I try to bring it home

drink coca cola from a 500ml can see HERE

buy a bag of tayto for 12p

buy a chomp for 10p

buy a penny sweet for an actual penny and not 5c

watch somebody go to America in the 80's and presume you will never see them again

be worried about driving a grey ford cortina in the border counties

damonjewel · 17-05-2009 9:37am

Mr.Lizard · 17-05-2009 10:45am

Watch the Ireland football team put in a bad performance at home without having them booed off the pitch.

Dartz · 17-05-2009 10:51am

Getting so drunk I forgot how I drove home, rather than forgetting how I managed to give directions to the taxi driver home.

dny123456 · 17-05-2009 10:56am

drive without nct

mardybum · 17-05-2009 11:00am

You should get the 78a if you want to smoke joints on a bus. I don't think anyone even told Ballyfermot that smoking got banned on buses!

Other things: Complain about the smog in Dublin, Knick-Knacks on your neighbours, create a swing with only a long rope, a lamppost and nerves of steel as cars drive straight into your swing path.

In the old days you could buy a house on one wage ,ie the wife could stay at home when she had a child,not every couple had 2 work full time to get a mortgage.THERE WAS NO such thing as bringing kids to a creche at 7am.NOW many kids dont see there mother til 7pm.You could buy a house in your area, close to your family.
