The most surprising thing you ever heard..

Peared

or news you were given. What is it? You know those moments that leave you reeling. And if you were on the telly the camera would zoom in for a close up reaction shot.

I have a few.

One was when a parent told me they were seeing somebody new. Two years older than me. (I am not old)

Shacklebolt

When I was told Michael Jackson used to be black.

Tyranax

When I was told that I was a diabetic. And that the condition was life lasting. Oh you should have seen my face!

I honestly felt like I'd just been hit in the forhead with a hammer. Shock doesn't come close. It was concussive.

If it's your mum, that's gross.

If it's your dad, way to go, high-five etc.

Red Hand

Recently, in the last 8 months or so, when one of my housemates told me how much she was paying for her room.

It was a lot more than mine, and I was literally speechless for a whole minute.

When I was told one night that I had an older sister who was alive when I was a baby but died so I had no memory of her whatsoever

Danbo!

Having only seen the second half of the episode, I was quite surprised to learn it was in fact Kel, that put the screw in the tuna.

God I hate that bitch. This might cheer you up. Apparently happened at a show in London. Could be an Urban myth, but i'd like to think it happened to her.

Ha ha, now that is a burn. Why would someone who thought she was shít attend one of her shows.

Danbo!

Dunno, maybe she was supporting a good comedian.

Or supporting a lighting rig or the stage.

In a hotel in London and my Uncle heard that she was in it and he said out loud "she's ****e" she was right behind him.

Your joke has much worth, but it could be taken as tacit admittance of wanting to climb up on Jo Brand.

and if you meant it, you're disturbed.

Hehe, funny you mention that..

Was thinking the other day about the time myself and a mate went to see The Phantom Menace in the cinema...

When we came out I asked...

What you think of that?.

To which he replied..

"Thought it was a bit far fetched to be honest"

What the fluck?

How did it double post. Fuppin 3 modem.

Awesome. A thanks! Man, this 3modem is rightly pissing me off. It suddenly decides not to work while I'm posting. So it finally comes back and I refresh and viola, a double post 40 minutes after the original. Hey. You removed your thanks.

Peared

May I just add the fact that RTE have given McSavage his own go at a show.

Sake.

Unpossible

me: "I'd like to register my daughters name so we can get her birth cert"

Finnish magistrate: "Oh no you can't because you are not a permanent resident at the time of her birth so she has no municipalilty and we will not register her name unless you give us a passport for her"

So basically stuck in finland daughter is only a few weeks old, no birthcert without a passport :eek: caused a few months of angst but eventually the Irish embassy sorted it out.

In hindsight we didn't know how easy registering as a permanent resident was and would have done so earlier if we had known it was that important, but then I was also worried I would lose my Irish study grant if I did that.

Compared to those first 3 months the "honey I'm pregnant" line was nothing

Senna

came back to work after a weeks holiday and one of the staff said "didn't see you at the funeral". obviously i hadn't a clue what he was on about, one of the staff died a few day earlier (only about 28) and two of the managers thought the other one had phoned me to tell me. I stood there shocked and couldn't even think straight to say anything.

Good in the end surprised. The mechanics of sex.

Bad surprised. Sudden death of a someone very special to me. The essense of every aspect of my mental and physical awareness in that moment, is encapsulted in the memory.

I found out I had a half-brother who I apparently met when I was too young to remember. I was 20 when I found out.

Also the death of the dog which was a companion through my childhood. I thought he was going to live forever...

Know someone who sat through the first two Lord of the Rings only to throw out that gem when a dragon turned up in the third film. Makes you wonder just how aware some people are.

Last year, texted a 16 year old friend to ask how her brother had gotten on in the junior cert, got a text back "No idea, I'm pregnant though, could you call over?" :eek:

Also, recently, that a close friend is gay, and has known since he was 14, despite having been in a two year relationship with a smoking hot German chick (and yes, she IS real) between the ages of 17 and 19.

Do you know what I wasn't suprised by? The end of The Sixth Sense OR The Usual Suspects, because my mother's a bitch.
