    Wire a plug.
    Pull a calf on a wet morning.

    Having a pen behind yer ear.

    Having a pen knife on yer keyring.

    When the girlfriend says you'll never fit the car in that parking space and you just back the car in and get it perfect in one go.

    Whipping out the jump leads out of the boot and getting the damzel in distress back on the road again.

    Drinking a can by aggressively pushing a biro through it, then slugging back the lot - ignoring all the spillage. Then crushing it flat with one hand, and firing it at the bin; then high-fiving a mate, then belching and farting loudly, then shouting "fuk yeah!!!"

    :cool:







    Non manly bit: going off to change top and throw the beer-soaked one in the laundry basket.

    I've taken up the sport of Strongman, but by far the most manly things I do are to take possession of the remote control and give about about every other driver on the road.

    And as for your leg of chicken, pffffttttt, recently I've eaten a whole chicken for lunch on a few occasions.
    keep it up. Strongest man in ireland lives near me and he gets his chickens for free. He's huge.


    Me it would be having a gsxr 1000 and just me being well cool in general with my manly beard

    Scratching yourself with a key.

    Getting far too involved in the boxing on Wii Sports when your child/niece/nephew gets you to play for the first time, realising halfway through that you're taking too seriously, but being unable to stop yourself trying to beat the computer-controlled character in case your significant other cheats on you with it for beating you up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Grilling a burger/steak on a bbq. Picking it up. Placing it back down in the exact same spot.

    2 things...

    1. Chopping down a tree.


    2. Shaking hands... Like a BOSS!

    A man who cannot do this and calls out the AA is no man at all

    Physically dominating other men (no homo)

    Having a bloody steak and dipping your mash into the blood for flavor

    Smoking fags in a pub after hours.

    Haggling the price down when trying to purchase something.

    - Stopping traffic on the road to wave out a lorry/JCB etc out of a lane.

    - Having a drawer that contains everything from - light bulbs for the light over the mirror to fuses to torque wrenches.

    - Knowing exactly which direction you should be walking in a city you've never been in.

    - Giving the barman a nod for your next drink and he immediately knows your order.

    - Drinkin black tea if workin on a building site. Otherwise taking milk in an old mustard bottle is manish enough also.

    - Never carry a dog

    - Sharpen pencils with a knife

    - Giving hardy hand shakes to young lads.

    The noble art of haggling

    If you're making a large purchase, for example a large TV and you paid the listed price and were too timid to haggle, then turn in your mancard

    In China castration included castration of the penis as well as the testicles.
