    speaking of annoying adds i would happily serve life in prison for punishing those responsible of the "i want to do a poo in pauls bathroom" add.

    Anyone doing anything for the weekend? Looking like i going to a random session.

    Guys, anyone else have the same problem or is it just me? I go to Harveys every saturday night and in the last two months I've managed to lose 5 jackets in the smoking area. Granted i do get pissed. so much soo, i woke up this morning with only one leg in my jeans and me lyin on the sofa, I obviously made an attempt to get to bed. Back to the mystery, but is anyone else experiencing losing jackets there?

    The place is too big and because Im so drunk, I end up losing my mates because i'm probably throwing shapes on the dance floor or downing baby guiness's. I have to cut down methinks because I wouldn't mind the damn jackets weren't cheap. I had to see if I could find the t-shrit i was wearing this morning and panicked thinking I took that off as well. I'm bad enough as it is. Trying to get the jackets back is fruitless

    Sounds if you should just pay the €2 for the cloakroom. Would have saved you a bit of money :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 37 Cill Chainnigh


    €3 for cloakroom in Harveys - extortion - everything about Harveys is expensive - why do we always go there?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    Because there's nothing in the way of a decent alternative. I wish Ruby lounge was bigger. €3 for coat is crazy though

    It's extortionate alright. I remember going to Breens / The Bridge in the early 90s and paying 30p to put the coat in. Gasps of horror when they increased it to 50p.

    This evening I found out some very good news about my 11 year old son and I'm dying to tell him but cannot so that I don't ruin the occasion for him.

    He's won player of the year on his soccer team and the awards night is next Friday. The coaches don't normally disclose the winners in advance but I was told so that he'd definitely be present on the night.

    He's mad into sport so will be delighted when he's called out next week.

    ah wow that's a great secret. I wish I knew those tyoe of secrets. The only secrets I seem to know lately are ones of people cheating on others, bloody head wreckers. I used to be told surprise secrets like birthday parties and stuff like that but then I have been known to accidentally ruin them, so no one tells me secrets anymore.

    Good thing I dont know you :D

    I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.

    I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up.
    She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them".
    I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi?
    I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

    Anyway, I have never approached her about this. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her.
    I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel arch.

    Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I try to repair it myself?

    how mad is that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 Ronyponyboi


    If anyone stops you and asks if you interested in some perfume and hands you a pice paper two smell it,DON'T. It's a new scam,the paper is laced with drugs. You pass out so they can rob you, or worse.

    The scam recently happened in the tesco car park.

    I'm not to sure if this is true. I received this in a text from multiple people

    Better to be safe than sorry !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,899 ✭✭✭Paddy@CIRL


    Wow, thats crazy ! Because in Carlow they have the exact same scam and guess what, it happened in the Tesco car park yesterday as well !

    Could be true but I wouldn't have the most amount of faith in chain mails or texts.

    If some stranger approaches you in the Tesco car park asking you to smell a piece of paper and you do so, you deserve to be robbed!

    FACT!

    wouldn't it be clever to actually start doing one of these urban myths for real and i'm sure for a time when it gets back to the gardi they'll fob it off.

    I must start looking for paper laced with drugs to mug people out in ardkeen tesco.

    Unprotected sex can give you Chlamydia which can also make you sterile :eek: no urban myths here though.

    Since this is an urban myth and is generally random.. ill just merged with the General Random Thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭baronflyguy


    Hey Ronyponyboi, this is the only scam you should be aware off.

    Gardai are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties & local pubs to
    be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.

    Many females use a date rape drug on the market called 'Beer.'

    The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in
    bottles, cans, or from taps and in large 'kegs'. Beer is used by female
    sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to
    go home and sleep with them.

    A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then
    simply ask him home for no strings attached sex.

    Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers,
    men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking
    women to whom they would normally not be attracted.

    After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of
    exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague
    feeling that 'something bad' occurred.

    At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's
    savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship.'

    In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the
    unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment
    referred to as 'marriage.' Men are much more susceptible to this scam
    after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.

    If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it,
    there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your
    shocking encounter with similarly victimized men.

    For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the
    phone book.

    For a video to see how beer works click here:
    Beer Demo

    Please! Forward this warning to every male you know.

    Good one baronflyguy.

    It's mad but since the recession my usual sources for jokes have dramatically decreased. I had to search my inbox for those last two jokes I posted here in my gmail. Times are tough but I didnt think jokes would be affected. :D

    Speaking of jokes, I like a good joke but am I the only one who hates the celebrity jokes (diana, jacko, jade goody etc) emails when someone dies?
    I always delete them, I just think it is in bad taste.

    I dunno, I kinda like them cause you just know you shouldn't find it funny but you do. Kinda the same as reading some of the posts over in After Hours.
