Funny story

Sam Vimes

This happened to me the other day and i thought i'd share it with my fellow boardsies. Rest assured if people don't find it funny i will cry myself to sleep

anyway, my gf was getting a puppy last week and we had to drive to wexford to get it so i was driving down through lucan to get onto the m50. We were on this back road on the way to lucan and she'd just eaten an apple slice thingy and had crumbs on her legs.

She'd put a towel on her legs to catch the crumbs so she shook them out the window

so we got as far as the turn onto the m50 and i asked her to give me back the sat nav because i'd need it from then on.

But she couldn't find it. The last she remembered it was on her lap. We slowly realised that she'd shaken it out the window with the crumbs. I said we'd head back through lucan to pick it up and we'd be back in 5 mins

but because the traffic in lucan is a nightmare it took us nearly an hour to get back and it took another 20 mins to find the sat nav in a bush with a chunk of rubber missing but working fine.

I only just had about enough time to get to wexford and back before work so we just had to go home. We basically took a 2 hour trip to lucan

and that's my story (bow)

And the moral of the story is that your girlfriend is a moron?

Not hillariously funny or anything.......but a good story non the less! You were damn lucky the thing was still working and came to rest in a bush and not the middle of the road to be turned into GPS pancake!

Seriously, if that happened me, I would not find it funny.

Dump her immediately OP, and while you're at it, sterlise her if you get a chance to stop those genes spreading.

How long should the trip take usually? *country question*

tallus

I'd have gone back for the sat nav too. More ironic than funny tho. It's a sad reflection on the sh|te infrastructure we have in this country.

Only 2 hours? Do you know a short cut?


Truly amazingly life changing story all the same Vimes

faceman

i think he's making it up. no boardsies have *real* girlfriends???

You need sat nav to find Wexford?!!!

Sat nav is a serious waste of money in this country. Fine if your out in the Rockies or trawling though the motorways or northern europe, but come on, Wexford? Sure you can nearly see Wexford from Lucan. Sheesh!:(

that makes sense but only if you substitute the word *puppy* with *porno mag*

It should take about an hour and a half.

I can find wexford but that's different to finding the house where the dog was. The address wasn't "1 wexford"

Isn't Lucan fun...

First of all how did she not notice the sat nav in the towel. Thats shocking, If my GF did that not only would I be single very quick but i'd never tell anyone why.
You come onto boards to tell the country?
And lastly, why did you give it to her in the first place? If you didn't need it to find the M50 leave it where you put it when you need it, until you need it.

She might have a personal vendetta against it. You know how them wimminz love to navigate.

I am just amazed you would need a sat nav going to wexford it is not that big but I suppose you were exiting from dublin (cough)

If you shake it out, things could get crumby?

Its quite light and it was a heavy towel. You'd dump your girlfriend over an accident like that? Bit strong no?

as i said, i can find wexford fine but i had to find a specific house in a rural village a few miles outside enniscorthy (i think it was)

its just easier to ask the person's address and type it into the sat nav than be told: go straight then take the second left, no the third left, no the first right, no well its the one of the lefts, you'll find it. If you see a big black cow you've gone too far. etc etc etc

If you trusted your girlfriend and had confidence in her navigation skills you could have given her a map and she could call out the directions to you.
Hell, that's what passengers are for!

But you rely on sat nav instead, for shame

This is like a modern day Hansel and Gretel story.

Who needs a SatNav when you can follow the bread crumbs home!.

Tell fatty to lay off the cake and crumbs wont be a problem

Suppose you are right tomtom is much trustier than a stinky farmer who is half pissed still can't believe gf threw out the sat nav with out knowing...were you angry at all???

Sat-nav in her lap!

surely you know the way to muff by now...:D

pretty-in-pink

oh this thread is funny. Its about 2.5 / 3 hours to wexford. depends on traffic getting onto th m50. it takes me 2.5 hours (with good traffic) to get from dublin to clonmel. (well I say me, but I really mean my daddy/ mum/ best mate/ person with car)

I can navigate. I was a scout. Those fancy print off directions can be a bit odd, I never read them all, I just blank lines out, but give me a map and I'll get ya to wherever you wanna go. I wouldn't attack a silent sat nav, but once it starts talking....well I think I'd kill it.
