    Auld' Wan wants to know when I'll be home in the evening but I've got my phone turned off. Turn phone on a few hours later and get 3 messages from her saying 'TURN YOUR PHONE ON'.

    After accidentally swallowing toothpaste when I was a nipper. The reply was:

    "Sure, it'll clean yer insides......."

    I still ponder that phrase to this day.

    Wasnt my parents who said this but some old landlord we used to have, but anyway the microwave was broke so we gave him a ring.

    He called round the next day and after inspecting it for a moment suggested to us that the element was gone in it.

    An element in a microwave wtf?:confused:

    my mam has a bird feeder in her back garden and she had a sparrow that would eat from her hand untill one day a cat came into the garden and went for the sparrow and it never came back, but this is how she told it

    well, me friend (the sparrow) was quiet happily eatin his seed, and then yer man (the cat) comes in like he own's the place and me friend got such a fright he ran up the down spout and I have'nt seen him since,

    up the down spout, we still laugh at that today!

    About 5 or so years ago my friend’s father turned to me and said “Well, did you see me on the internet?”

    I was taken aback a bit thinking I’d missed an email or something. I said “What are you talking about?”.

    He goes “Theres a picture of me on the internet sure”.

    I said, “Oh, no I didn’t see it now”. (Still puzzled).

    He goes “Oh right, I thought you were on that fcuking thing the whole time.”

    Hahaha.

    Even now, he still says to me “Are you still working in the... with the... the computers?”

    Back when Bebo was all the rage, my mother asked me to set up an account for my little brother by saying: "Write to Mr Bebo and ask him if he'll accept your brother...."

    :confused:
