    Told boards this one before. Went to an interview in the Burlington for AIB ten years ago. Walked into the room full of people giving me dirty looks. One minute later got called in for interview. Thought it was strange that the others weren't brought in first. The interview consisted of being asked very personal questions about my lifestyle and family. Got asked was I on medication. Then left the interview and it suddenly dawned on me that they all looked like guards! Still waiting to hear back from that interview.

    Myself and two mates dancing in a nightclub in vegas on our last nite. A group of a bout 10 girls and one gay guy started dancing with us. Had lots of fun even though we had no money left(damn u hooters blackjack!). Anyway the girls say to us that they were leaving to go to a STRIP CLUB! We were like "What?" "sorry got no money!". So they offered to pay for us!! The girls took us out to the main entrance of the casino and into a pimped out coaster bus with a bar and poles for dancing on! Took us to strip club where one of the girls who had a thing for me gimme a dollar to put down the strippers knickers! We then watched as 3 of the girls paid for stripper to dance for them, while at the same time they made out!!! Scored one of the girls too! Best nite eva.

    I eyed up the target, a good 15 meters away, the kids paused, I guess they knew what I was attempting to do. I connected sweetly, everything went strangely quite and time seemed to stand still as the ball rose gently and dropped sweetly in the hoop without even touching the rim of the basket. The kids stared at me gobsmacked.:eek: I really wanted to run around the park like I'd just scored the winning goal for Ireland in the World Cup but I'm nearly forty now, with three young children and I can't be doing things like that anymore. So I just turned and walked slowly away like I knew this was going to happen. Secretly I felt like Keith Barry the evening he scared the knickers off Kathryn Thomas when he pulled the 'driving whilst blindfolded trick', as he walked noncholantly away. :cool:

    Man I hope I live to see the day Ireland win the drop kicking a rugby ball into a basketball hoop World Cup...

    Well, it's Monday, so he's probably on a secret mission with Elvis on the moon.

    What are your true stories of things that have happened to you, that people find ridiculous and refuse to believe?

    One of mine is being crushed by a bouncing castle.

    A few friends and I decided it would be a good idea to take the pegs out of it, and try and get it to raise off the ground.

    Plan was, some people would stay on and run to the back of it, while some of us would stay off and push it further into the air.

    However, the bouncing castle didn't stay up in the air for long, my friends managed to escape from underneath it, but I got trapped.

    Looked up to find this massive bouncing castle waiting to attack me! :eek:

    Got completely flattened by the thing, with around 10 full-grown people on it.

    Took about a minute for them to get me out, couldn't breathe!

    Came out covered in mud, from being squished into the ground.

    No one believes it happened, bar the people who were there!

    Haven't you heard? it's all over for poor old Biggins.

    He gave interviews to numerous TV, radio and newspaper reporters.
    Then he made the classic mistake that so many secret agents have made before.
    Yep, he posted links to all the interviews on boards.
    Well needless to say, Spectre had been hot on old Biggins tail for quite some time and this was just the break they'd been waiting for.
    Needless to say 'the agency' acted swiftly and immediately pulled him in from the field.
    Now that he's spent he will have to see out the rest of his professional life from behind a desk.
    What a waste, they say he was the best in the business too...

    I have one story there.

    Once my friend asked me for help, one lad owned him some money and he was very reluctant to give it back. Friend found out where he was (it was in some forest, celebrating something with his friends). So we arrived at the party, couple of other people joined us. There were no intentions to hurt someone or act criminal, but everything sliped out...

    Friend start to talk and eventually it evolved into fight. Debtors friends fled and he was left outnumbered. He was beaten until I intervened and stoped everything, but he didn't want to give up. He went to his car and grabed an axe and contra attacked. Now my friend's help were giving legs, so I decided to stop that nonsence. I pulled up my gun (I was carying it legally with permission) and asked him to drop the axe. He didn't comply and attacked me, so I had to use my gun. Unfortunatelly semi-automatics have a huge disadvantage - they usually jam... This what happened that time. When I saw what happened I had to run vey fast. He threw the axe, missed (I was running REALLY fast), I fixed the gun, turned to him and asked to stop this nonsence again. I remember him coming closer to me with axe in his hand and blood over his face. I was pointing the gun at him and asking to comply. Eventually he listened to me, droped the axe I lowered the gun and this crap was finally over. I don't know did he give money back to my friend I was trying not to help him any more :)

    Back to the point.

    After some time I have decided to tell that to me GF. After repeating the story few times, she just laughed and said to stop watching the action movies. After that I didn't bother to convince her and never mentioned that again. Is it really hard to believe that?

    P.S. The action was taking place outside Republic of Ireland, it was in other country.

    At 16, friend was driving a car underage, with no license and no insurance at 3 in the morning (I was a passenger) and we pulled into a 24 hour garage to get cigarettes only to see a squad car parked up.

    Friend stupidly swung the car around and was about to leave until I told him we had no choice but to stop.
    Got out, bought cigarettes and we were walking back to the car when one of the Gardai called out to us. Came over to the car and asked for my friends license.

    Cue friend searching for a license that wasn't there in the glove compartment. Garda A is taking out his notebook when Garda B who was still by the squad car hops in, starts the engine, squeals over to us and tell the other Garda to get in.
    On go the blue's and two's, Garda A says, smiling knowingly "see ya on the road lads"

    Found out the next day that Elvis saved us.
    (A man called Elvis was breaking into a pub the next town over)

    I was watching a programme last week bout a tribe from africa

    The guy went out hunting for boar. he saw one but it attacked him. The boar bit off his penis guard, he chased it but ended up being attacked again, this time losing part of his nose.

    He chased again and this time fell off a 100ft cliff. He was badly mangled but survived


    Or also (gotta love the discovery channel) a pilot who took off his seatbelt after hitting cruising altitude. Mins later the front windshield blew off and he got sucked out, except the force pinned him down onto the front of the plane just above the window. The temperature was -17C and he was thousands of feet in the air. The co-pilot landed and they got him down. Had a broken arm and frostbite. He went back to work a few years later

    Madness i tells ya

    No thanks, I'm on the right side of the law. We just couldn't be friends with him and you know, working for a man you don't like, makes your work really hard.
