    I wheeled an empty keg home one night. It was still heavy enough even though it was empty. It was a decent distance, Barrack street to The Lough in Cork. I felt it the next morning! We eventually put a wooden board on the top of it and used it as a coffee table in the living room (student house).

    When I still lived at home Unscrewed light bulbs from the Christmas tree in the village. They were just normal screw bulbs, put one in our toilet light. Woke up to my Dad screaming - he’d gone in half asleep, turned light on and thought something was really wrong with his eyes as everything was green...

    Was this 2002? We had one too, for reasons unknown!

    Must have been the essential soft furnishing for student accommodation in Galway at the time!

    it was after 8am, and a truck was making deliveries; so this friend thought he can bring home a gas cylinder after a nite out.
    a very practical weird thing if I may add,

    I once woke up with a life size cardboard cut out of Brian O'Driscoll in my room.
    I know someone who nearly started a fight with one of those....

    I used to work for a racing trainer who often popped an empty keg or two into the boot of his car from local pubs. He used them as rail-posts when popping horses over jumps for light exercise.

    Apparently they're quite costly to publicans when not returned, so we had the local publican arriving on the yard one day, red as a beetroot, after reviewing his cctv. I think he filled his car with half a dozen of them, there was easily another dozen behind the sheds.

    Useful objects, in fairness. We probably had the same number of empty gas cylinders.

    The old kegs are handy. I've one that I fix a 2ft square sheet of plywood to. Makes a handy bench for cutting tiles with an angle grinder.

    One night I arrived home from a gig with Sean Cannon from the Dubliners and his son James and their guitars. Woke the wife and two children and drank all her wine.

    empty gas cylinders
    Very valuable items.

    Back in student days we unscrewed a doctors brass plate from his wall, 4 philips screws holding it on.

    Following day heading back into college, we passed and he'd a note up "please give me back my sign".
    That night we threw it back into his garden with a note advising him to use better rawl plugs and round the heads with an angle grinder.

    Which he did.

    God, we were wãnkers

    I brought home a guards daughter a few times over the space of a month. Man, what a blunder.

    I think it's some type of sickness ..... but they can always take something for it.

    A BMX. I stole it and cycled it home while pissed. It somehow ended up in a tree outside my house.

    In my younger days, myself and my horde of merry goons, used to procure various items from pubs for the craic - see who could out do each other.

    My best efforts included a firemans helmet and a hand dryer from a toilet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    A single bed mattress - not sure where I got it from, but it was still in the wrapper. Put it in the shed for the dog to sleep on!

    Also a cats eye (the road refelector thing, not the eye of a feline) My auld dear for some strange reason thought it was haunted and threw it out in the bin.

    We borrowed a car one night (one lad didn't drink) from a lad that always left it outside a rural pub with the keys in the sun visor. When we were dropping it back in the morning the old lads car was there. We borrowed an identical Ford escort. To this day we dont know who it was belonged to or if they ever knew.
