    Hiya

    I told my girlfriend recently that I was going to a football match.

    "Oh, who's playin?" she enquires.

    "Kildare and Meath" I reply.

    "Is that in the world cup?" she asks :eek:

    Anyone else got any good ones, not that I'm trying to promote sexism or anything, but some stories have to be shared! :rolleyes:

    Yeah maybe I should have titled it: Girls saying/doing extraordinarily "girly" things.

    In fairness to her she copped her mistake straight away and she is a very smart girl (not to mention sexy and beautiful :cool: she may be around here somewheres! ).

    She wouldn't let me tell anyone what she said, twas killing me!

    Alas the years are zooming by faster than you run into the kitchen to make your lady a cup of tea upon the clicking of her fingers.

    Pighead's face is getting old and his mood cantankerous but thankfully his testicles are still as firm and strong as ever.

    Oh people need to relax on this thread, only a bit of craic.

    Thought this was funny - was sitting having a bit to eat with 2 girls and they were chatting about some girl they knew from school that was getting married...

    Girl 1 - "So <whoever> if after getting engaged"
    Girl 2 - "Really?! To who?"
    Girl 1 - "To the son of my French teacher, Eoin. Reddan"
    I smirk to myself thinking funny name, same as the rugby player
    Girl 2 - "Oh right. And where are she living these days"
    Girl 1 - "Over in London still, he plays rugby with a team over there. The London Wasps?".
    I almost choke laughing with pancake in my mouth. Instead of saying she was marrying an international rugby player she said it was the son of her French teacher from school. Just thought it was funny.

    No shes not stupid at all, you cant accurately judge a persons intelligence on one statement I think.

    Yes I'm aware it was a sexist statement, blatantly sexist in fact, I added it in jest.

    a girl i know was in a night club with some friends. she walked up to a few of them and they were talking to someone she didn't know so she decided to introduce herself. the conversation went thusly:

    Amy:Hi, I'm Amy. What's your name

    him:Ronan O'Gara

    In Musgrave park in Cork there were 3 bimbos having a conversation about ronan o'garas as*, paul o'connells legs and other parts of other players.

    Some guy turned around and said "hey blondies, save that sh*t for your Bebo or faceplant, we have a match to sort out here". This was followed by the usual blookish aaaaaahhhhhhhhh the same sound you would make if somebody dropped a glass in a pub. :D

    That reflects worse on him than her. What a bighead! Why did he mention his second name? Nobody ever mentions their second names during introductions. Shame on you Ronan!

    Not everyone gives a crap about sports stars, even if they do have boiled heads on them.

    I would imagine you would be the same if you said to a becoming lady;

    Hi, I'm Sam. What's your name?

    Her: Lindsey Armaou

    one of my bestest mates is a very intelligent girl....but she has been know to come out with amazing stuff (if she is on this i am dead!)
    "hang on...isn't 9/11 the flight number?" (and this was a couple of years after 9/11 happened)
    she was drunk at the time and we were all playing the name game and padre pio came up and she asks..."eh..is padre pio the guy in the sopranos?"
    looking at the outside of some new building that is primarily made of glass "that's odd...glass...on the outside of the building??"

    seriously she is a clever one....just has her moments!!

    Yes, I thought I edited that bit out before it went to print. Ah well.

    But....ignorance of sports is 'girly'?

    I'm sorry, but cmon I wouldnt believe it would even be possible that anybody would say that!!!!

    "She realised her mistake straight away", cmon no one would ever say that in the first place!!!Are you sure you're not making this up?

    Incidentally what kildare/meath match was it? The parentals are from meath, so I go to most of them with them.

    I have to agree with Mingey on that one there lads. I once old Stephen O' Neill of apparent GAA fame to **** off away from s because he was being a prick. He walked away to a chorus from my mates of "do ya not know who that was??".

    To which I replied, "yea, a wanker!"

    My wife cannot get her head around the fact that the earth is round and how this affects the different time zones. I didn't even try to explain seasons to her. She also asked if Robbie Keane got a transfer to Ireland from Spurs (a few months back).

    Well in a typical sexist/misogynistic view, yes ignorance of sport is girly.

    This isn't a view I share by the way,
    as I say posted in jest,

    always in jest...

    not a sexist I tell ya...

    no misogyny here I swear!:D

    She knows there is different time zones and all that but she doesn't understand about the rotation of the earth and how we revolve around teh sun etc etc. I spent a half hour one day with apples and oranges and footballs trying to explain it to her and I thought I did but she admitted two weeks after she was only pretending so I wouldn't feel bad about not explaining it right. :mad:

    She also called Proinsias De Rossa Al Pacino, and explained as "ah sure they sound the same".

    That last one might actually be more racist that stupidity.:confused:

    Oh. Then again, I'd say most teenagers are like that nowadays so maybe your wife is just ahead of her time? A trendsetter, if you will. ;)
