    Makes just as much sense to me as the correct way.

    Any other supposedly helpful/useful phrases that are basically redundant?

    Doesn't work when putting on a condom.

    ''I'd ate chips from her knickers''

    Or am I doing it wrong?

    How would you spring back?

    How would you spring back?

    I've been known to spring back on occasion. It's pretty simple, especially if you've just fallen forward.

    Fall down, spring up. Hope that no one saw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    How does that make sense?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 389 ✭✭dango


    I before E, except after C.

    Port left.
    Starboard right.

    "I" before "E" except after "C".

    With the permission of the OP I would like to extend this to all kinds of mnemonics which might help with learning.
    When I was going to school there was a little poem which helped with the major rivers in Ireland. I have searched everywhere for it, including the internet, but came up blank.
    What I can remember of it goes like this:
    The Foyle through Derry winds its way.
    The Lagan through Belfast.
    And men in Tipperary watch the Suir flow gently past
    .

    Can anybody help?

    Thought this thread was about changing the clocks, well in any case they should be going forward now not back, who the **** wants the place getting dark at 4pm :mad:

    How could it be about the clocks considering we don't have a "fall" ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Not really in keeping with this thread but I've always figured that Slow Down and Slow Up mean the same thing....

    Also when people say 'stall it' meaning 'come here'

    Better to be an hour early than a minute late...I'd just as happily be a minute early than an hour late.

    You can fall backward, fall over, but you cannot fall forward, stumble forward yea but not fall forward. Sorry.

    Slow and Steady wins the race.

    I may be slow but in my defence I am consistent in my slowness and therefore have a great chance :pac:

    I've always thought of it in martial terms. You'd spring forward to attack and 'fall back' in terms of a military engagement that is going badly.

    Was in a pub on Sunday lunch time in uk many years ago must have been spring forward. As people may know last drinks were 1400 hrs and absolutely zero tolerance.

    You could hear a pin drop as a friend came in at 14.05went up to the now empty bar and ordered a pint. This was mili seconds before the whole place erupted in laughter
