    Ok brothers first time poster but have a story for everyone

    Went to see the simpsons movie tonight, with the lads, but one of them had invited the girlfriend! So she had got his ticket, don't ask me why she had it. It was gettin close to the film starting and they hadn't shown up.

    Film started at 8 they turned up at ten to 9................she read the price of the ticket for the time................8.50

    Highly Dump-able offence!

    I was looking up my spanish dictionary one day and laughed when I seen the word for a ducks quack was "Graznido" in spanish. I proclaimed this out loud to the audience of my bro, sis and dad.

    My sister looked at me and said, "Wait, does that mean that cows make a different moooing sound in France?"

    Another time her(19) and lil bro(11) were having a spelling competition. She asked him "Tornado", he spelt it correctly.

    He asked her "Cyclone", she told him to stop making up words...

    There are so many more.

    In fairness to our dim sisters I know a guy who said "Water on...soap on..dryer on.." etc to those automatic sinks in McDonald's when they were first introduced. Think he thought he was on the Starship Enterprise or something

    Hold on a minutes boys... I'm a girl and I would NEVER read the ticket price as the time. Also, I am always highly fair and rational,* ask my bf if you don't believe me!



    * may not be entirely %100 true!

    No such thing as a fair and rational woman...and to think the Brothers had a little respect and trust for you until you blatantly lied to us...your cover has been blown


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Damn.... and I was doing so well. I did give you a small indication that I am a aware I am not always rational!

    Sorry B+RH members but if my G/F actually paid for cinema tickets for me AND (whether intentionally or otherwise) caused me to miss 50 minutes of that sh!tfest I'd seriously be considering marraige now.

    Years ago....BIL got tickies for Nighthawks. Four of us going. So I said "It's on at 10:30, suppose you'll be picking us up around 9:30 then?".

    "No, 9:00, want to beat the traffic."
    "Traffic?"
    "Yeah, rush hour".
    "WTF?"
    "We have to be there at 9:30 a.m.".
    "Wha'? That can't be right...".
    Gets ratty. "Look, I have the tickets. Do you want to come or not?". He is an electronic engineer, so I shut up.

    So, I take a half-day from work; we walk in to RTE reception 9:30 a.m. on the dot. Him to receptionist: "We're here for Nighthawks". Her: "Do you want to talk to someone from the NH team?". "No, we're here for the show".

    When we rolled back there at 9:30 p.m., I stood well back in case they had a camera crew waiting for us. Anyway, got sozzled on the good beer (had to scheme to avoid the Carling) and stocked up for the show. Joshua Trio were on, doing "Little Drummer Boy". A mate, Robbie Foy, got us all to roar out a different chorus "And Adam does those drugs he does, parappapampam". Didn't come over one the tape though! I still kick myself for giving in on that one!

    btw, he is BG&RH, but does have the Crolly doll transplant.

    I understood some of that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    Pigman maybe we can trade the pieces of Esel's story that we understood and try to make some sense of it?

    Seems clear enough to me?

    For the cerebrally challenged: Nighthawks was a live TV show that aired at 10:30 P.M. My brother-in-law insisted we had to be there at 9:30 A.M.

    Guess you had to be there.

    I heard a great story from Newcastle.

    When Newcastle got back into the premiership, with Kevin Keegan at the helm, it was nigh on impossible to get tickets for St James Park. Anyhow, from the start of the season, there ere two empty seats, week in week out and all the guys that sat around them were asking the club if they could buy the season tickets for these seats as they had a mate who wanted them etc, but the club kept saying no, they are taken.

    On St Stephen’s day, a father and son turn up and sit in the seats, for the first time that season. The guy sitting next to them asked where they had been since August, to which the father replied that his wife had bought him and his son a season ticket each – and given it to them as a Christmas present!!
