Ballziest F*cker Ever!!

    After seeing something in particular today, it was so unbelievably ballsy (ballzy?) that it inspired me to make a thread about it. I want to hear other people's ballzy stories!

    So I was walking to the busstop after the GAA Leinster SFC double-header quarter-final. I was heading for the stop outside the xtravision in Fareview. As the crowd got to The Players Lounge, some fat bloke took out a trumpet, stopped on the road and played "God Save The Queen"! Unbelievable! The Yobs behind me were shouting for someone to throw a can at him. I will never see anything that ballzy again in my life, I'm sure of it.

    Anyone else know of any moves that took unbelievable balls to pull off?

    The ballsiest thing I have ever seen

    A chap I was at school with, "Barmy" caused a terrible furore at the 6th form ball when he brought with him a young lady who had been publicly educated. The sound of splashing, as monocle after monocle popped out into glasses of port, was deafening. Faut pas followed faut pas as she used her salad fork for the 2nd course, and drank a '79 Merlot with her Bouillabaisse! Thus "Barmy", that dashing young blackguard, became the first 6th form boy in over a century to be caned and had his fagging priveleges rescinded for the remainder of term. I am at a loss to see how the trumpet-playing ruffian in the opening post could compare with such mischievous behavior.

    Is that the same Croke park that Queen Elizabeth visited recently? She actually did a tour of the stadium! You guys really need to grow up!

    Sir, I think you'll find that "Barmy" bringing the guttersnipe to the Ball was the "ballsy" act, not her atrocious lack of taste and etiquette.

    Wow! He played a song outside a stadium that has often been played inside it. Not only that but the subject of the song has been in the stadium!

    Thank you sir for the clarification. Now for a brandy and a Siglo VI which will be smoked in a bar in Bayeux illegally. It would be ballsy but I'm in France where ballsy has no English - French translation.

    Know someone who walked in a travellers wedding and decked one of the travellers who had slapped his sister around ,,,

    Because he was playing god save the queen outside dublin's biggest IRA pub :P btw I'm aware there may be bigger IRA pubs, but this is certainly a big one. Also after a Dublin GAA match you tend to get rowdy crowds :)

    It's a soccer pub! I've outlined this to you before. Please stop trying to associate the GAA with other non-sporting groups.

    Its a sports bar unless the gah isnt a sport now. People mostly watch football there because its more popular than GAA. There are Dublin GAA flags outside the place when there isnt massive posters of The Queen outside.

    Jesus its not like he started playing the Star Spangled Banner in the middle of Baghdad, he was on a busy street in Dublin in broad daylight on a relaxing long weekend evening. What is ballzy about that?

    Its not like a group of men with balaclavas were going to come running out and bundle him into the bag of a van, later dumping his corpse in the Wicklow Mountains with the trumpet stuck up his arse.

    Well I'd like to see a government minister come along and tell him, his wages are being cut to minimum wage and no overtime rates.

    I reckon we'd see a ministers body on the top of that thing soon after! :pac:
