Oddballs you know

    Well, oddballs/strange things they do. I've got two quick ones to get this rolling. First is a set of brothers in their 30s that still live at their homeplace with their mother. That's not the strange part really, it's just weird when you learn that they share a bedroom together and have their dinners/washing done by her.

    Second one is something I heard years ago but thankfully never saw myself. It was this family that seemingly didn't have a toilet so what they used to do was sit at the edge of the window sill and go for their sh*t out the back of the house.

    I wanted to type more for those two but lunch is calling.

    Does he get on the bus, or just hop it off the side of the bus?!

    There's a local oddball in town,walks around singing often with a brown stain on his trousers.
    He's a gardener for one of the doctors and he drives him around in a trailer.:pac:
    Oh and there's some video of him on youtube of him barking like a dog in a wheelbarrow..

    You're describing an alarming amount of men in rural Ireland.

    Probably. I was worried they might identify me but I don't think that's going to be happening.

    One particular Oddball/eccentric who used to cycle round
    my town on he's bike with a large stereo on the back carrier blasting
    tunes.
    If anyone shouted "Duth-man" at him he used to freak and chase them.
    This progressed to following our school bus in he's car,
    till the driver got out and wave the wheel brace at him.
    He eventually ended up in a institution after being caught having sex with a greyhound in the local park.
    Very odd! :pac:

    That is very odd, but then again they live in an oddball country where renting/getting a mortgage still costs approx half of an adults income even when 500,000 people unemployed. They should get a place together.

    Remember even with your own two balls the left one always hangs that little bit lower so even your 'evenball' theory doesn't have perfect symmetry :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Or is it the right one that hangs lower???

    1 second...... *hand down pants*

    Yeah it's the left one, God my hands are cold today :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man


    know a fella who lives in a house with no water and no electricity, just spends his days in the local town with a backpack and sitting on the seats eating his lunch. he is bald also.

    another fella sits in the pub and likes sucking cucumbers with condoms on it.

    Ireland is brimming with oddballs. Really miss them where I live (not Ireland).

    You got the guy who'd call in the lobsters from the sea down at the beach in my home town.

    You got the guy who used to call himself a hoover salesman in my town...used to hoover a room in homes as a demonstration. We almost bought one off him when we discovered he wasn't selling them at all...he just liked to hoover random people's carpets.

    The woman who'd carry bags of plastic bags.

    Aidan Walsh...Master of the Universe

    Your one used to dance down and wave her arms about by the Floozy in the Jacuzzi on O'Connell street in Dublin.

    I've always thought that rugby balls were very odd. Such a strange shape.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,692 ✭✭✭Dublin_Gunner


    Count Tornado.

    Used to play the free saturday gigs in Eamonn Dorans.

    Had classics such as 'Don't throw rocks at my door' and 'Electric sewing machine'.

    Legend.


    Also, an elderly-ish woman who lives around North Circular Road, known locally as 'Mad Mary'. She was/is, well, just entirely bloody mad.

    She invited a 'friend' of hers into her house one day, and within minutes I looked out the window as she was throwing him back out again, screaming 'get out of my house, get out of my house' at the top of her lungs. This woman has to be seen to be believed.

    She would stop, and stare you directly in the eyes as you walked by her, without saying anything. Really creepy.
