    Not really! very ugly people get treated a certain way even if 50 Euro notes come out of their mouths.

    Emphasis on the very? Money makes every difference tbh. I think that's the one place you shouldn't have gone to make a point.

    For a while I thought the saying "fair dues" was fair juice because of the accent of the person who kept saying it. :D

    I didnt know I could pay my credit card bill online until a month ago :confused:

    I had always been going into the post office with my statement whenever I needed to pay some of it off, I knew about the standing order/direct debit option but I only pay in fits and starts so that didnt suit me. Wasnt until I started adding payment transfers to my internet banking recently that I copped you could do it online....

    My boss said to me recently that it was obvious I was indecisive, which I didn't realise.

    When I got home that day, I thought about it and decided that I was indecisive. So which am I ? :confused:

    You thought about it and came to a conclusion. That means you're thoughtful. Idiots will shoot from the hip. You're indecisive to someone who most likely has come to expect arse licking and snap decisions. In some lines of work that's an advantage. As far as critical thinking goes it's a fail. Take it as a compliment. If you can't you might be indecisive!

    Never realised Freddy Mercury was gay until after he died. I'd been to see them in Slane in all. Was telling this to a mate a few months ago and he said did the name Queen not give it away? What? Never copped that one either

    At about 3 am in the morning, must have been 5 years ago, I was down in Carlow on a night out when I suddenly realised that it is Abrakebabra, not Abrakedabra. I was very pleased with my detective skill.

    Only copped on this year and was treated like a fool by someone I told :rolleyes:

    Goddammit you're right. All you have to type is http://boards.ie and away you go.

    That the song ' Gudbuy T' Jane ' by original skinhead group Slade ( of later Glam rock fame ) was originally written as ' Goodbye To Jane ' but their use of switching to slang worded titles gave them more hits .

    Grammar Nazis take note .

    ^ only know this because I watched the documentary about them last night .

    That Montreal, being a French speaking country, has a French meaning. Mont Royale. And I love French. :pac:

    There's loads more that always hit me...e.g. diabolical being a word relating to the devil, and once it was demolition being related to demolish. I also love English. I can be so slow sometimes. :o

    I was amazed a few years to hear the Mediterrean Sea literaly means 'the sea at the center of the world' which should have been obvious I guess, as it was the center of the known world in ancient times (in western history, that is).
