    About 4 years stuck down an accumulator on a few Heineken cup matches at about 90/1. Stood to earn €450 if All went well.
    Didn't pay much attention through Saturday or Sunday assuming someone as usual would go and blow the whole thing but got to Sunday afternoon and 9 of the 10 games at come through with only one left.
    Toulouse at home just to beat Connacht, and not the recent incarnation of Connacht but the infamously average unit who went out week after week only to be beaten again. Toulouse were 1/200 and by far my safest bet.
    Or so I thought. In what was described as the biggest upset in the history of the Heineken cup Connacht won and took my Thailand fund with them.

    To compound my hatred of Toulouse they ****ed up a bet two months later while playing at home to some Italian journeymen

    When I'm at my mams and I think she's poured me 7up but it's really gross sparkling water.

    Or when my favourite leggings brand changed the cut and now they aren't comfortable

    I'm in the same boat. I would actually like if personal Internet usage disappeared for a month just to see how it was. We'd all be reading books and talking to each other in bars etc.

    I read about a book (physical copy) a week. I have the internet. They aren't mutually exclusive.

    Got up the other morning and the cat had destroyed my brand new Christmas tree. Broke all of the bottom branches and decorations. We tried to fix it but it's not the same. My first Christmas tree in my own apartment and the cat ruined it.

    So, if anyone wants a cat....

    I believe what they are saying is they read at least one book per week. Not they read about books.

    I'm genuinely taken aback by this.
    Somehow I've managed to make it through my life thus far without once, accidentally or intentionally, defecating in the shower.
    Is it actually a common experience for some? Going about your business in the shower - lathering yourself up while belting out Elvis's greatest hits, etc - when suddenly a blob of faeces just plops out of your backside onto the floor?

    'Tis a strange world.

    I believe Razorblunt was angling for thanks. Unluckily for him it didn't work. Must be devastating for him ;)

    Getting a Zaytoon at 4am a bit worse for wear

    ...asked if I wanted it there or take away

    ...In my drunken state I look around and see its rammed, take away says I.

    I walk outside and spot a free taxi and flagged it, hopped in and refrained from eating my kebab for the 25min journey. It felt like hours waiting to sink into it.

    I get out the taxi around the corner from my house and cant wait another minute, I go to open it up and some how fumble it and let it fall over the road.

    I let out an almighty 'Nooooooooooooooooooooooo', before standing over it for a further 5min contemplating still eating it. But it couldnt be saved.

    Devastated.

    You ****ing stole my story!!!!

    He stole everyone's story. We've all been there. I had a similar experience after getting a whopper and getting in a taxi back to college res with my friend. After getting out he was mad jealous of my burger so I said take a bite. When putting it back into the container he put it into the lid part (I was holding the bottom) so it fell straight to the ground. Worse still, he was a mix of insanely sorry, because he knew what he had done, but also laughing hysterically, because he also knew it was hilarious. So he was consoling me while apologising and laughing. Meanwhile, I was just devastated, feeling too sorry for myself to even punch him.

    everybody has done that to their friends and relations at some point.
    Actually, better for them to laugh rather than feel guilty, otherwise they feel like a gobsh!te and act like a gobsh!te towards you. Until you cool down at them.

    Here's another another example....when I was a about 13, I was with my first cousin of the same age in a mens restroom. Somebody's trouser leg was accidentally sprayed by a bad aim...They did'nt take it very well then.



    ;):D
