    Ok why are the condoms on Tesco.ie listed in the Family Planning section when the whole point of a buying condoms is to prevent a pregnancy :/ You cant really call it family planning if you are buying these condoms to not start a family.

    Sweet mother of jebus pray for us.

    They have holes in them Chris so the chicks can trick the men. Go to boots and ask for cummings new brand, extra safe and no holes. Give the girl at wink and she'll know exactly what you're talking about.

    These would be from the Durex colander range, better for seed dispersal

    If you're not planning to have kids now you're still planning that.

    If you plan on having kids later, then you're also planning that.

    If you're not planning to have kids now you're still planning that.

    If you plan on having kids later, then you're also planning that.
    And then you'll need planning permission if you're planning on building a house to raise your unplanned kids.

    That's the least of your worries buying condoms in tesco.

    I know its not really embarrassing anymore the older you get.

    But when you have to carry a plastic security box the size of a wheelie bin with a pack of the oul rubbers in, it kind of does make you feel odd in the crowd.

    People tend to look in disgust :pac:

    Honey, how many babies do you think we should have?

    I think we should have two babies dear.

    Bang Bang Bang
    Baby
    Bang Bang Bang
    Baby

    Ok now we have two babies what do we do now honey.

    Lets use condoms and so keep our family plan intact dear.

    Oh you are so smart
    Condom
    Bang Bang Bang * forever.

    I know and why are the soya yogurts listed under the dairy section when the whole point of eating soya yogurts is to avoid dairy. You can't really call it a dairy section if you're eating soya to avoid dairy

    Funny peculiar that one. Member since '09. Makes like a tree and leaves within the hour because of this?

    Never really understand why people bother to close accounts, when not logging in seems to do the same thing.

    Could've just been embarrassed that they made a bit of a tit of themselves, any number of reasons really, thread didn't go as expected, etc...

    He exposed himself as a virgin and got spooked. The account probably closed itself out of the sheer stupidity of the question

    Epic thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,635 CMod ✭✭✭✭Ravelleman


    The OP has a point, although it's expressed very badly.

    'Family planning' is a silly euphemistic term when you think about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    Love how the OP has since closed his account hahahaha

    A father and his impressionable young son were shopping in the corner drug-store. The son saw the display of condoms, and asked his father what they were for.

    Father: Well, son. Men buy those and use them when they are having sex
    Son: Oh, I remember hearing about those. But why are these sold in a 3-pak

    Father: Well son, those are for high-school boys. One for Friday, One for Saturday, One for Sunday. Son: Oh! But dad, why are those others sold in packs of six

    Father: Well son, those six are for college boys. Two for Friday, Two for Saturday, Two for Sunday. Son: Oh, that's a lot! Wait! Dad, there's a box of 12. What on earth are those for?

    Father: Well son, those are for married men.
