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.

I witnessed this actually happening in 2004! Couldn't believe my eyes and ears at the time. Not so much urban legend as common practice at one stage I'd say!

Some celebrity's neighbour is having a party and invites said celebrity to it, and then receives an invoice for an 'appearance fee'.

Used to be Gay Byrne a lot of the time.

The bloke on his stag whose mates stripped him and tied him to a fence, go to a chipper and return half an hour later and find their pal tearful and distraught. Apparently in their absence some rotter had rode the hole off the unfortunate fellow while he was naked,defencless and alone

This is true, it happened to a lad in cork city a few years back, needless to say the wedding was called off

When you visit the Guinness Storehouse/Museum in Dublin, you get 2 drinks vouchers for when you get to the bar at the top. Since most of the visitors are American, they never use their second drinks voucher. Urban legand is that the local alcoholics pay in and use those second vouchers to drink all day, every day...

When Ikea first opened in Ballymun, the cafe got a reputation for really nice food. The cafe had a deal where the parents paid for their meals but the children ate for free. The locals would round up the local children and send them in with 'two parents' and get lots and lots of free food.

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.

Heard myself that was in Blanch Shopping Centre.

Just to let you know, there was a time where you could drink on after the Guinness tour, until people absolutely starting taking the piss. That's why they cut it back. It boils my blood to this day.

Anyway, back on thread.

Thought that was Sligo IT...?

The beauty of the jam making course, is that it moves to whatever IT is far away from you where you don't know anyone. I'm from Connacht, so I heard it was in Carlow. My friends from Leinster heard Sligo.

I was on Bus Eireann going from Limerick to Galway. As we got to Bunratty two Yanks on the bus said weren't the Irish so clever building the castle next to the freeway

A Trinity student was doing exams and demanded a staff member bring him cake and beer. It was an old rule going back to when students were sons of noble families and staff were servants.
The lad got his cake & beer but then got fined for not having a sword, another rule.

Timothy Bryce

Best mate's cousin's friend broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years, he's moved out of the house. She devastated. Her friends drag her out on the lash to cheer her up, she gets sloshed and pulls a fella. Wakes up the next morning, barely able to remember a thing. She rings her friend to say all she can remember is the amazing sex she had with the lad she pulled. They were doing it everywhere, kitchen table, on the stairs. Everywhere. Her mate tells her it's just what she needed.

She gets out of bed, goes downstairs, little Down syndrome fella asleep on the couch...
