    We all see things every once in a while where all you can do is shake your head and say 'REALLY!?' I'm after seeing a status there on Facebook asking straight up - are unicorns really real!? :eek: She genuinely really believed that they were real!! She's proper disappointed now that she's found out they're only mythical creatures!!

    Pre-Poo Toilet Spray, yes you read correctly, a spray you carry around with you and spray into the toilet bowl before you do a dump, to avoid the people coming in after you having to smell your "devil's doughnuts" as the ad puts it.

    When i first saw the ad on TV I just assumed it was a spoof, but no, sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

    Mainly religious ****. We're gonna take back the holy land cos thats where our guys from. We're gonna teach you our religion (or kill you) cos our guy said we're right and your wrong. We're gonna fly a plane into a building cos our guy is mad at you. We don't do blood transfusions cos our guy said its wrong. etc etc.... I know its the thing you believe in but stop and have a think for a minute. Massive oversimplification but hopefully you get my point. On a small scale, triple parking to save yourself a 1 min walk to get a bag of chips. You **** off you ridiculous ****!

    A friend mine once told me a story of the time he had a girl up in his room. They were fooling around and he heard his mother coming up the stairs so he made her climb out the window of his bedroom where a ladder had been placed. We all knew he was lying, but even to this day he still insists it actually happened.

    Things written about Northern Ireland and its people, mostly online.


    Woman saying that Martin McGuinness shouldn't have been going for president as he is from Derry even though the last president was Belfast born.

    Yank said that the Scotch-Irish Americans got their Scandinavian DNA from the Vikings raids of Ulster in the 10th century, the Scotch-Irish didn't arrive in Ulster until the 17th century. Ulster wasn't settled much by Vikings anyway.

    People complaining when John Hume won the greatest Irishman award because he was from United Kingdom, the other contenders like Michael Collins were also born and raised in the United Kingdom.


    On a US tv series there was a scene when the actor called Bushmills Protestant whiskey and Jameson Catholic even though John Jameson was Scottish and probably Protestant, plus Bushmills is owned by Catholics now I think.


    When the US Army were based in Northern Ireland in WW2 they were given wee information books, it said in them that the shamrock and St Patrick belonged to Southern Ireland, Patrick most likely spent most of his mission in north and west of the island, even the modern airport in loyalist Belfast has an advert up promoting "St Patricks country" in Downpatrick. The wee booklet also said that unionists were also very proud Irishmen.


    Random unionist woman on wireless slandering the Irish language and how it is a foreign language, her own home towns name comes from the Irish language. Also big Arlene comparing the language to Polish.


    Loyalist saying that the Ulster Plantations were revenge for the Gaelic invasion of western Scotland in the 6th century, the Gaels who settled in Scotland were his own direct ancestors, that is like an American saying in 700 years that the US will invade Europe because you invaded us.

    There is also some nonsense spouted about Scotland too but that is mostly due to peoples hatred of the SNP rather than ignorance.

    I remember, during that campaign, someone (I think it was on Boards) saying that David Norris would be an unsuitable president because he's a Protestant... Um... like Hyde... and Childers.

    Throw a dart at any of these. It'd probably qualify as 'most ridiculous thing I've ever read'...

    I was asked by an American about the 24 hour clock at a buseireann bus stop. He didn't no how to read the bus timetable.
    he didn't believe me when I told him what time the bus was coming at.
    I was only a young lad at the time so maybe that was the reason. Or maybe he was just an absolute retard ; )
