Talking shíte to strangers

brummytom

I was down visiting a mate over the weekend, so we were out drinking most of the time.

Though he doesn't indulge himself, he joined me out in the smoking area, and started chatting to strangers. Most of the time, he either claimed we were a gay couple, or put on a Cork accent and pretended to be Irish. I asked him what he was at, and he said that 'talking shíte to strangers is part of drinking'.

Myself, I quite often get into a conversation with strangers, but wouldn't usually make things up (aside from occasionally saying I'd watched something I hadn't). So I just wondered - is 'talking ****e to strangers part of drinking', or is my mate just a bit of a cunt?

Talking sh*te to strangers is definitely part of the fun of being in the pub. I spoke a lot of shyte to a lot of strangers (mostly welsh rugby fans!!) on Saturday night.

I didn't make anything up though, that's a new one on me!

Sounds to me like your pal is in the closet. Sit him down, tell him that he doesn't have to keep living a lie and let him know that he can be the biggest flaming Corkonian he wants to be.

It's not very funny, what if someone you knew happened to be there by chance and heard what he was saying? If you live in a small community rumours about your lifestyle could spread pretty fast and whatever people say about rural Ireland being a different place to what it was, I'd still imagine you could be ostracised, or at least have to put up with loads of smartarse remarks everytime you go to the pub and can you even begin to imagine munster final weekend?

So you talked a lot of shyte but it was all true shyte. That's good honest shyte talk, as opposed to shyte shyte talk.

I think that eedjit was just having a bit of craic. You see a lot of it on nights out.

Ended up in temple bar last night talking plenty of ****e to strangers. Welsh strangers. And one old guy who tried to convince me to go to some 1916 March thing. Also ended up accidently shifting a Welsh man dressed like superman, because he told me it was his birthday, asked me for a kiss, so I kissed his cheek but he whipped his head around, and went for the lips.
****etalking with drunk people is the best
