Did you see anything out of the ordinary today?

    I was walking along a very busy street and saw a bloke lying on the ground, face down, his trousers / underwear down, full arse visible, 'humping' the pavement. He was probably in his fifties.

    Where did this humping the pavement action take place and was the local council informed...

    Tell what? His age? :p His face was facing outwards so was clearly visible.

    Humping. As in having sexual intercourse (or simulated sexual intercourse) with the pavement.

    Happened in the US, so outside of the jurisdiction of our county councils, I'm afraid.

    I saw a bloke lying in the street after some sort of fit. People just walked on by. I think they though he was humping the pavement, probably because his trousers fell down.

    How's that out of the ordinary? Was it raining faeces or something? We see rain every other day in Ireland.

    Seen proper fork lightening last night, be awhile since I seen it in Ireland.

    Nah, I stood there watching for an hour. He wasn't having a fit. He did have a happy ending though.

    It was raining heavy and there was a Garda out in the rain.

    Its not the end of the month so surely the quota rush is not on yet!!

    Did you help him or just comment on what other people did or thought?

    Maybe he was just scratching his balls off the pavement.

    Saw a falcon dive from a massive height, it was way up in the sky - a barely visible speck and then suddenly it plummeted, I was amazed by how fast it dived. Didn't see where it landed. That was slick

    I seen a woman buying a trolley load of frozens baguettes, possibly 15 to 20 bags of 10 frozen baguettes.

    Were they for a party? Were they the weekly shopping?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    A man walked out of the window on the 2nd floor of our building.
    Onto some scaffolding mind, but my mind wandered into a mad monty python sketch after it for a good 20 minutes :)

    A rock and ROLL party it would seem.

    Was walking down an alleyway today , and saw a white pigeon ahead .

    As I walked closer this pigeon did not move , and just as I was within 2 feet , it flew upwards over my head , and perched on a window sill.

    I found this strange .

    I've seen lads buy about twenty bags of sugar a couple of times,no idea what it could be for unless it's homebrew or something.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

    Time to die.

    There was probably a crack in the pavement.

    i went to the store, and a beautiful woman there asked me was I okay, what a lovely sentiment,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,741 ✭✭✭Piliger


    Nope. Having coffee across the road from my local gym today .. with the usual parade of unbelievably tight little lycra bums parading by. Just another day.

    Similar thing happened me, except she was a munter and I was trying to rob some dog food. Her tone was a tad accusatory too.

    I seen two gay lads snog on Abbey St today and thought 'fair f*cks lads', then thought only a very few short years ago I'd have giggled and pointed, but I still its its 'out of the ordinary' for a lot of folk.

    Few years ago in the local around November time, two lads out in the smokeroom playing tonsil tennis after a long day on the beer.

    An old farmer from the hills, who'd never been more than five miles from home in his life, spies them.

    Back into the bar he goes 'Any of yous see them two fcukers out there? Fcuking stupid dickheads!' Someone tries to explain diplomatically that this is the 21st century and for the old lad to cop himself on.

    Says he, 'I'm not on about that ye silly cnut, them two buggers have been out there three quarters of an hour, they'll be fcuking foundered!'

    Say your man who was trying to telling the oul lad to cop on must have been raging.

    A man attempted to kill himself by diving infront of my car today.... i was coming through town after going hammock shopping with some friends in Ikea (fun day) we were on our way back to the south side through town. I think it was near ballymun. Someone dived into my path (literally) i jammed on. And stopped about 2 feet from him. Then a group of pedestrians got him up and off the road. I didnt have anywhere to stop so an onlooking taxi man said i was alright to go...... the hammock went well, sat in it for 15 mins here in safe old Rathgar before it rained :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    An old lady leaving the supermarket on a really cool low rider style bicycle with a trailer on the back with her dog and some potted plants in that..... But then that's pretty everyday here


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    How?
    A helicopter can take off and land vertically (straight up and down). It can fly in any direction, even sideways and backwards. It can also hover or hang in the air above a given place.

    A helicopter gets its power from rotors or blades. When its rotors are spinning, a helicopter doesn't look much like an airplane. But the rotor blades have an airfoil shape like the wings of an airplane. So as the rotors turn, air flows more quickly over the tops of the blades than it does below. This creates enough lift for flight.

    And thats How! for now.
