It's not so much what my mother says, it's what she doesn't say. While she's talking sometimes she trails off into a muttter without realising or skips information and her story becomies impossible to understand.

"I was talking to Jimmy and...[mutter]...DUBLIN"

It takes a about 2 or 3 attempts the get all the info sometimes.

Driving through a local large town my mom comes out and says "There's a lot of them coloured people around here".

Can't take her anywhere.

LOL. I was taking my granda to a physio one day and there is this guy I go to who's Indian. First question I got was is he even qualified LOL.

So the next day I'm going in the drive of the physios place, but there is a tyre yard next door LOL. So we proceeded to drive on in and it couldn't have been better timing. This coloured guy walks out in overalls, black as the ace of spades and my granda turns and looks at me. . . "ahhhh (in a shocked tone) that's not him is it, I want to go back"

You can't write this s#it LOL. . . Awwww old people :rolleyes:

I know! My parents still talk about Protestants in hushed tones.

When we first got a DVD player a few years ago my mother rang me on my mobile while I was in France to say "how do I rewind the DVD before I return it to xtra vision?".

Oh and yesterday she was looking at clothes on a website on my laptop asked me how to enlarge the images and I told her to click on the images. And she tapped the screen with her hand. It's a bloody macbook! Not a swanky touchscreen thing. And she sees me on it all the time!

Oh and about 4 or 5 years ago out the desktop computer broke and she brought it to the shop to be fixed...she brought the monitor.

Took my 86 year old aunt out boozing last Friday. We were in a late bar nearby but it was packed and the music was ridiculously loud. She was loving it though. Anyway, after a while, she turns around and asks "Is this what they call a....gay.....bar?"

Hilariously enough, about 5 seconds later, they started playing YMCA.

I'm guessing she meant pier jump. It's where you jump off a pier.

My granny is quite insane due to various medical conditions and thus comes out with some absolute crackers from time to time.

Once (recently) while in London on holiday, surrounded by people, she noticed a bus driver was black, turned to my grand dad & said "Oh look Pat! They let the WOGs drive the buses now!"

Another time I was sitting watching tv with her & the coke ad with the ringing bottle came on. At the end she turns & says "Those half-casts are very pretty, aren't they Simon!" Had me in stiches for about 5mins.

My dad and I were shopping for bikes and he really wanted me to get this particular one but I was unsure as it looked quite butch, so he said "it's ok, it's a bisexual bike!"



Eh, think you mean unisex, dad....

They're more advanced than I am! (Although that's arguably not difficult)

I tried to use the GPS application on my dad's iPhone, as he wanted directions somewhere and he was driving. I couldn't work it. He ended up pulling the car over and telling me "It won't work because your fingers are too fat!"

To obtain a special dialling wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now.

there was a competition on in the afternoon show. How many players are in a soccer team. 11, 7 or 24?

My mother comes in to my room to confirm her answer. I go 11 of course.

She goes "oh no i said 24"

My dad considers himself to be very wise but he's actually quite inarticulated but really does has a heart of gold.

I'm the youngest of six and, each time one of us turned 18, Dad would take us aside and say-

"I have one word of advice for you. Don't drink, don't smoke and don't do the other thing".

My dad refers to stereos as 'ghettoblasters'. *cringe*

Also, when he first ''got the hang of this internet yoke" instead of typing a search word into Google, he'd type the actual question as a web address, say, "www.howdoyoufixawashingmachine?.com"

My mam just can't text. She's afraid the phone will blow up if she presses the wrong key. The look of horror on her face when it says ''message not sent'' or ''error'' is priceless. Oh yeah, she also refers to going out/clubbing as ''disco-ing''. "Are ye goin' disco-ing?" Funny cuz she has a bogger accent, as well.

At a rugby match my mum asked my dad where the goalkeeper was (further evidence that women should never be brought to rugby matches).

We went for a walk last easter and at the top of the mountain she said: Wow, you can see 365 degrees from up here!

She also recently asked me if I were going to picnic electric.

My mum is a bit of a tulip, god love her.

'Is Dr Dre really a Doctor?'

"Daddy, can we go to the shop for sweets?"

"No."

"Why?"

"That's the why!"



What does that even mean?!

Oh another thing, when I was little my mam would always say "Don't come crying to me when a car runs you over and you're dead." Or some variant of it. Made absolutely no sense.

My mother is a big fan of Jason Timberlake.

A few years ago was driving with my mother from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher. Turned off the N18 onto N67 out through Kinvara. A couple of miles later there is a boat in a field on the right hand side of the road. Out speaks the mother" there must have a tsunami here". Nearly crashed the car laughing.

Im in work skitting away at all the posts, probably because I could imagine my parents saying them too!!:D

Not something my parent said but in work one day (nursing on a ward with a lot of elderly ladies) my colleague was at the end of a patients bed filling in forms and I was standing nearby when the patient turned to someone visiting her and says (practically shouts) " Isnt she very brave to have all that hair off her face, she has a fierce large forehead"....cue mortified nurse giggling nervously and making a quick exit while everyone around cringes for her!!
