Thread continued from here

The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

Sitting in the car park in lidl in terenure for the last 20 minutes and the standard of parking and driving is diabolical.
Women trying to get 5 series bmw's into a space you wouldn't get a bike into. Oul ones in micra's who are revving the engine so hard you'd swear it was an aircraft they were getting ready for take off. I watched 2 drivers drive the wrong way around the one way system.
People trying to drive into a space when it's 100 times easier to reverse in.
It's no wonder that every second car here has a crumpled door or panel.

Was in a garage earlier on, had a girl in a polo sitting in front of me and getting annoyed that I wouldn’t move over to let her past. I tried to point out to her that it was a one way system and she was going the wrong way and she just got more annoyed. People are stupid!

Swap you!

Sitting on the A1 at Newry, road completely closed, have moved about half a mile in 45 minutes.

Could be worse.

I've been working from home and had to spend 30 minutes wondering whether 4 or 5 was the more acceptable time to open a beer. It was awful.

It should be compulsory for all rugby boardsies to post in the off-topic forum on Friday early evenings.
This is gold.

Swap you. Sitting in the labour ward for the last 8 hours and I've been holding in a fart for the last 2...

I'll give you gold....

Missus went to the airport this morning for a meeting in London. Flight delayed slightly but she would make it...just.
Plane gets to runway then stops and the pilot says "could be a 90 minute delay folks"

Long story short....she flies to london. Gets out of plane and hasn't enough time for anything only to go back through and wait for her flight home!!

Your definition of "let her rip" and mine are clearly very different...

“I agree, Lucy is a lovely name”

“That was easy!”

...

“Did you write Lowesy on the birth certificate?”

As if I'd punish a child by naming them after a NIQ Leinster import. Bundee is in the running, however, depending on how much drugs they give herself...

Pro tip Zzippy, during labour when the midwife says I can see babys head, would daddy like a look? "No, I'm grand thanks" is apparently not the preferred answer

Journey that should take 90 minutes ended up taking nearly 4 hours.

Never enjoyed a beer as much in my life as the one I cracked open after walking in the door.

Also make sure after the baby is born that you tell your wife that you think your pregnancy (as in plural your) and labour went great.

Personally I felt I really played a stormer during the labour and I didn't even need any of the drugs

Zzippy

Apparently "There's not much happening, mind if I nip out for a pint?" was the wrong thing to say...

But if you don’t say no, you’ll never see your missus in the same way again. That image can not be unseen.

Yep...be like watching your favourite pub burn down.

I very much answered "no I'm grand thanks" when offered the opportunity to watch my girls making their guest appearance. Not a hope in hell I was looking at that.

Even worse when the midwife asks "would dad like to see the head" , and you look down and say "I see no difference"....

Baby girl has daddy wrapped around her little finger already. A drop of Midleton before bed now...

Well done Zzippy! You played a blinder.

Having a child on opening weekend of European rugby makes me question your priorities though.
