My English teacher told us it was pronounced that way. Luckily I found out she was wrong soon after.

I only realised last few weeks that those glass sugar thingies dispense a spoon of sugar and don't flow continously:o

There's a poster here called juan kerr

I read their posts for months and months, probably over a year before I copped what it was about

I have recently realised the relation of the names "Itchy" and "Scratchy" in The Simpsons.

"To scratch an itch."

You don't need to type www. before many well known websites. Boards is one

I spent years and years typing www. every time

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

Holy Sh*t!

I only copped on now, when you mentioned it and I'm in IT :eek:

IT?

Be sure to turn off your computer and turn it back on again

For many years I thought Tracy Chapman was a man

In my defense this was pre-youtube days and I didn't have ready access to the internet.

Santa was a short arse.. (Barely bigger than an elf)

There is a shrine for St. Valentine in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin.

I was always told he was buried in Christchurch.

Right on, probably should have checked that up so before posting!:o

For years I always thought impotent and impudent were the same thing.

I was always wondering why parents would tell there children not to be impudent and was always trying to figure out what being bold had to do with erections. :rolleyes:

Stupid English language.

Some posters mentioned earlier that it works for some websites and not for others because of the way those domains are set-up.

I thought it was more to do with what DNS you're using (DNS being what translates the address you type in into an IP address). OpenDNS, for example, will add the 'www.' automatically. It also corrects some typos.
(Btw, Eircom's default DNS is shíte. I highly recommend OpenDNS)

It also depends on your browser to an extent. Older ones sometimes needed you to type 'http://' at the start of every address. Most, if not all, now do that automatically.

You don't get out much, do you?

Zaytoon (Dublin), Al Kebabish or King Kebab (Athlone). Infinitely better. Anywhere what serves Kebabs in pita bread should be shut down and the owners deported.

Up to now I thought the poster called Eden Hazard was just a clever oxymoron (the garden of Eden in chaos!), but was just watching the news there and in Sport there was a Chelsea soccer player called Eden Hazard!

If you read his posts it will become clear that he's unlikely to know what an oxymoron is...

I learned earlier this year that there is a word 'into' . I always use 'in to' no matter what I was referring to.
