Chicken Coop in front garden? And other musings/guessing people's birthplaces

    Walking down the road to tesco, I noticed 3 chickens in the front garden of a (what looked like) council house. I live in a city, is it me or is this odd?

    Also at Sainsburys the other day, a mom and daughter in pajamas and slippers... is this common anywhere else? My auntie says quite a few of the moms at my cousins school go to pick up their kids in pajamas?!

    And screaming - do people (particularly 15/16 year old girls with ear drum-piercing shouts) have to scream at everything.. yes that car was fast, everyone else on the road noticed it. Now STFU and swear at the driver under your breath or in your head like everyone else


    People are weird (and yes, myself included)

    I live in the countryside but it seems to be something that people like Richard Corrigan promotes - the chickens/hens that is not the pyjamas.....

    People in Lichfield are weird. Though we have a name for such people in the states: White Trash.

    if there was something suspicious about those chickens you should have called the guards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I would, but I doubt they respond to calls from England do they?

    Can't your TDs do what our MPs do and claim it all back on Expenses?

    Were they Asian chickens? If not then yes, it's pretty odd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Well they weren't covered in spices but their coop might well have been converted into a corner shop...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    If they are from within the Eu they are entitled to be here.

    They're having a hen party don't you know :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,418 ✭✭✭Dartz


    I always get me cock out in the garden. Nobody's called the cops on me yet.
    Sure all the hens live the big fella and everything.

    Buy local produce to avoid knackers in gardens and chickens in pajamas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    But Tesco is local - it's only half a mile down the road :confused: (well Tesco express)



    They're re-doing our normal sized Tesco and turning it into the same type as the one on the Malahide road - too bloody big :(

    Most people I know don't talk like that, thanks be to Jesus
    I really should delete my location - the whole internet knows where I live now;

    Even those wimmins on the msn boxes in the corner... there arent many hot and horny girls in Lichfield, it's mostly populated by 80 yearolds :/

    What do you call them if they're black?

    Buy local produce to avoid knackers in gardens and chickens in pajamas
    Pay attention to users location to avoid face palm.

    As for pyjamas, just search AH for that word and enjoy.

    Apparently there's a small chicken farm close to the OP, but you told him to avoid that.

    No they're posh brummies along with the Silhillians, or as Jasper Carrot described "Two cars in the drive and nothing in the fridge."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Hall Green?


    Or alternatively I could say Aston, Erdington and Ladywood (if the posh bit was sarcasm)

    How about mid-Warwickshire and not the Brummie heartland?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Fr. Peewee Stairmaster, Fr. Tight Head Lips, Fr. Jemima Racktouey, Fr. Jerry Twig, Fr. Spodo Komodo?

    I honestly don't know :o

    To anyone who has no knowledge of England, the past few posts will seem like bull****

    No, that's just where the Dudley Brummies live, not to mention being north of Birmingham, which mid-Warwickshire isn't:D.

    Haha...ok, but he grew up near Birmingham? Whatever hamlet he grew up in for a time, that is where Mr Ejmaztec was born. I can feel it. The One Ring doesn't lie.

    I think he lived in Oxford though, used to drink in the Lamb And Child pub.
    :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Well Tolkein went to my dad's school, St Phillips... so I'm guessin he lived near Edgbaston?



    Ejmaztec, Chelmsley Wood?

    Tolein was born in Bethlehem.

    True.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I've never met Tolein, so I'll take your word for it.

    Im sure Tolkein was born in South Africa?

    You are right, I was just letting you know which town :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Ohh Ok sorry, when you said Bethlehem, I presumed you meant "THE" Bethlehem, I didn't even consider there was more than one :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,765 ✭✭✭P.C.


    Was always a joke when we were kids.

    :D
