    I was on the bus by the porthouse between Phibsboro and Drumcondra and saw a drunk young chap walk into the canal with his eyes closed. Must have been quiet a surprise. Anyone see it?

    I seen him, the bloody epic fool. He got out no bother and went on his way. I presume he was locked drunk though.

    I hope all of you people think this funny, I happen to know this guy Robbie Dowman, and he suffers from a chronic case of narcolepsy and falls asleep without warning. He's now paronoid that he might have the weils disease as he was bitten by a rat while in the water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    was he in "de-nile" about something and wanted to end it all??

    Does everything originate from /b/? Does everybody who uses a phrase that is used in another site frequent same site? No is the answer to both. ;)

    Surely if he has Narcolepsy then he should stay away from any area in which death could easily occure due to sudden bouts of sleep. If it was me I'd stay the hell away from any canals or rivers.

    Yeah Cheers for the advice and all the support Darko, Dowman is a good friend and this could have ended alot worse if he did n't have the swimming abilities of a half dolphin half tuna fish type of creature.

    Drunken fool walks into Canal

    Is the Government now going to use it as a justification to ban the sale of alcohol (as was done with Magic mushrooms) or does it not count as he didnt actually drown ?

    It means you've passed the point where your internet addiction is harmless and all that lies ahead is hundreds of fap-filled Caturdays

    In Galway, we'd take the bottle of Buckfast out of his hand before he hit the water.
