    Was drivin home from work earlier and pulled in to enter a quiz on 2fm to win a €200 voucher for Fathers Day.Im smashed and it wouldve been a brilliant present. They rang back and just said i was "on the list". Waited a few mins, then said "feck it, sure they must have someone by now" and drove off.

    Halfway down the M50 they rang and said i was up next after the song.Arrrrghhhh....had no handsfree kit and couldnt pull in so they had to get someone else. Raaaaaaaaaging! :( The quiz was a piece of piss and all...wouldve won the voucher handsdown and gone into a draw on friday for a €1000 Dundrum voucher!

    Ever missed out on something if you'd only just waited a few mins more?

    For €1000, I'd have got off at the next exit. They're not that far apart on the M50?

    Just like the time I could have met Mr. T the shopping centre. The entire day, I kept saying, 'I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later...' And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the shopping centre guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!

    I honestly couldnt. I was comin up to the N4 turn off and the tail back there was unreal. I shouldnt have even been talkin to the 2fm person at all on the phone (:o) with no handsfree and it was halfway through the song so i panicked and just told her i couldnt pull in anywhere. Theres no way i couldve done a quiz while drivin..ill prob be shot anyway here for even answering the phone at all!

    I met Mr T just after I robbed a bank in Hanoi.....I asked him to mind a bag and a gun for me and he said no bother....seemed like a lovely guy...not seen him since.

    well the joke was on him because I reminded him that Murdock once knocked him out, and that he's afraid of flying, big girls blouse like him.

    Just saw this thread, I won the voucher, they called me when I was on the M50 so I pulled over to the hard shoulder. Ha ha ha hates that, it must have been fate! :D

    Women driving cars and mobile phones dont mix, probably a good thing you did'nt pull over.

    I was on a ladder putting a huge chandlier together that weighed about 70kg. I was basically standing right under it and i was nearly finished it. Someone called me and i debated whether to finish the thing, or get down there and then. I got down there and then, and i had literally just stepped foot off the ladder when the chandilier fell right where i had been and smashed.
    If i'd have waited a few minutes more to go talk to the person that called me, i'd be standing here dead!

    Why didn't you just pull into the hard shoulder?

    Put out your little triangle thing and if anyone asked you say your wife is in labour and you're trying to avoid her

    The lesbian thing makes the story all the more intriguing.

    You have no triangle thing? Consider yourself reported to the guards.

    As you had already answered the call while you were driving, you might as well have stayed on for another few mins, or just put the phone on speaker!

    I had already bid $24, when there were just a few seconds to go I realised that I had been outbid. Then my computer stalled as I was trying to re-bid. I don't know how much I would have bid, but that was pretty near my limit.
