Things you could but cant do in ireland anymore?

sitout

1; Ride a motor bike without a helmet
2; Sit and drive a car without a seat belt
3; Smoke in a pub whilst having a drink
4; Drive home after 4/5 pints and not be afraid of being stopped by a guard
5; Leave your kids in the car for a half an hour while you mother pops into the shop

These are just a few i can think of I'm sure there are many more. I'm not saying they are good or bad (but mostly i think our once great nation is now fukced and we cant take a piss or we will but crucified for it)

MrStuffins

I hate not being able to drive home after a night on the piss anymore!!

What next?? They'll ban me from firing my crossbow into crowds!!

Damn government!

Apparently stating on your priesthood application "I want to touch kids and get away with it" bars you from entry nowadays.

They left that Tick Box off the application form because it's a prerequisite for the job!

u can still do that

drive without nct

mardybum

You should get the 78a if you want to smoke joints on a bus. I don't think anyone even told Ballyfermot that smoking got banned on buses!

Other things: Complain about the smog in Dublin, Knick-Knacks on your neighbours, create a swing with only a long rope, a lamppost and nerves of steel as cars drive straight into your swing path.

In the old days you could buy a house on one wage ,ie the wife could stay at home when she had a child,not every couple had 2 work full time to get a mortgage.THERE WAS NO such thing as bringing kids to a creche at 7am.NOW many kids dont see there mother til 7pm.You could buy a house in your area, close to your family.

Yes!!! This is perfectly true.



Kids can no longer run in school. They are not allowed to play chasing, not necessarily because of the running, but the chaser is seen as "Excluded".

Not allowed call a scumbag a Scumbag, they had the same ****ty childhood we all had, so it's not their fault.
