    Would the collage course require more or less points than the jam making course?

    the dance hall where the devil appeared with cloven hooves.
    That happened in a town near me, he was dancing with some young wan then someone noticed he had cloven feet and he flew out the window. Probably because people were making fun of his feet. People keep pointing out the place it happened in.

    We don't have enough houses in our village to generate urban legends. They're just called shyte talk around here.

    Trinity student during the 1990s goes to doctor complaining about nausea and a sore bunghole in the morning. Turns out his roommate was drugging and raping him while he was unconscious.

    How many people have you met who knows the Garda called to Ronan Keating's house?

    Ronan the Barbarian? Have been waiting so long to use that...

    How many points do you need to do a course where you cut up bits of papers and magazines?

    Also, I don't know how many times people have told me the tale about the pet snake stretching out beside it's owner in preparation for eating them. It always seems to have happened to a cousins friend.

    One of the other mothers at montessori told me that happened to her friend, apparently the friend rang her crying and all sorts. I was cringing so bad, I felt like just telling her to ssshhh.

    The one I heard was that Gene Kelly was a major financial benefactor to the Provos.
    I'm pretty sure that one is true. Joseph Locke (him of Hear My Song and other popular ditties fame) was also a benefactor.

    And Richard Harris - which precluded his involvement in "The Eagle Has Landed" playing the 'Ra character, so instead we got Donald Sutherland, and the rest as they say is history...

    This one happened to my friend's cousin's friend's cousin's friend. He was on the bus into Dublin and it was fairly packed. This big African one went to get on with her kids, including one in a buggy. Having already had two buggies on board, the driver said ''Sorry love, you'll have to fold that buggy up if you're coming on cos I'm full up here.'' She took the young child out and got onto the bus, leaving the pram behind. A passenger asked her why she just left the buggy there, in disbelief. She replied ''It is ok, Social Welfare will give me another one.''

    In 2012, the total figure of €867,000 spent on prams or buggies nationwide by the DSP, and the bang of entitlement off some of the social welfare classes most grasping clients is breathtaking to behold, so the story wouldn't surprise me, even if I doubt it's true.

    Hmmm I always heard the opposite about Richard Harris i.e. that he vehemently opposed the Provisionals, perhaps he was a Sticky.

    A certain Irish X-factor type judge and his love for the male backing singers/singers.

    Probably just slander as opposed to an urban myth, but sure what's the difference really?

    I don't know why but the first thing I thought of when I read that was, what if you did that in one of those small toilets on a plane ? They'd never get you out alive.

    Remember hearing one from primary school about Ronan Keating, Brian Kennedy and Mrs. Keating interrupting something or other.

    Anyone else hear this one?

    The shopping centre in the Midlands where a child went missing and they had to close all the front doors and do a search. They then find the kid in some changing room wearing new clothes and a non-national cutting its hair.
