Tall tales, urban legends and spoofers

I've heard a rumour that 9\11 wasn't an inside job.

The lidl/aldi spoof is probably coming from Aldi Nord / Aldi Sud.

The original Aldi company in Germany was split into two - north Germany / South Germany, over a disagreement on the sales of cigarettes.

‘Irish’ Aldi is Aldi Sud

It was never called 'the dole' or 'the scratcher', but everyone i know calls it one or the other, nobody calls it Jobseekers Allowance or Jobseekers Benefit.

I know some people who refer to Intreo as 'Fas' or indeed 'AnCo'. It's colloquialism, nothing wrong with that.




Aldi Nord and Sud was set up and owned by two brothers, Karl and Theo Albrecht. The names stands for Albrecht Discount. They have Germany divided into two parts and they take over different countries on agreement. They do not compete with each other.

So relieved you cleared up that controversy for us.

Were Aldi Nord and Sud in the same office or just down the corridor from each other?
Asking for a friend.

With the whole African buggy thing tho... I've lost count how many times I've heard it. All originating from a friend, or a friend of a friend, or nephew, niece etc. If it was a true story there would had to of been 10 thousand people waiting for a bus at that bus stop :pac:

A favourite one on here especially was people of say a left leaning persuasion whod rage at this story used often repeat the opposite side of the coin story about a Garda boarding a bus and making straight for the only black person on the bus to ask for his ID only to be ****ed out of it As Gaeilge "to the applaud of the passengers" :pac:

Ditto when any anti multiculturalism thread comes up the amount of people on here who have African neighbors they just saw heading off to hurlin training I'd have expected every inter county team to be half African by now

In 1951 a man appeared out of nowhere in the middle of New York.
He subsequently gets hit by a car and dies.
When the police get to the body they find that he was wearing clothes from the previous century.
In his pocket was money which was no longer in circulation, beer tokens for a bar that didn't exist and letters dated from the 1800s as if written the same day.
Guy turned out to have been missing since 1877 or something like that.

Urban legend
Everyone has a friend who bought a coffee and a donut in a cafe but as said cafe was packed they had to share a table with some guy, turnS out that guy started to eat the donut in front of her.. and she couldn’t say anything just sat there in shock as he continued to eat it. She eventually started to give out to him and picked up her coffee and stormed out... only to find her own donut in her pocket on the way home...
I’ve heard this story so many times...

Spoffers:
My friend, let’s call her Mary McDonald told me Ronald McDoanld was her uncle all the way through primary school. I 100% believed her... for years, I believed it for years!

I've heard tons of urban legends over the years. I can't remember most of them. These aren't accurately remembered, these are just the jist of the stories.
(All pre Internet)


A party in some bedsit/terrace house in city centre, and everyone wasl taking drugs (acid in one version, Ecstacy in another etc.), electricity went out, One guy stumbled into a room and realised there was two guys having sex with a girl, said she was loving it, all of them out of it invited him to join, gurning etc.. joined in, electricity came back on and it was his sister. :eek::rolleyes:

*****
Another, Farmer catches two lads hunting on his land, calls one of them over, tells him he will let them stay there for the day/week if he puts down one of his cattle that has some disease/condition and doesn't want to pay the vet bills. He agrees, goes back to his friend who asks what he said. "Ah... he's a bollix, he's always giving out, f**k him" - and shoots the said cow. At which point the other guy continues to shoot the other cows until the guy stops him and tells him he was joking.

******
Two lads are driving and see a lad they know, and tell him to get in the car. He gets in the back seat and asks where did they get the car from. They tell him they robbed it from some guy that they all dislike (ex teacher/bouncer/local busybody etc..) and are going to trash it.

They turn around and he is slashing the backseats with a pen knife. It's actually one of their parents cars..


Loads more. I have one friend that can remember everything (he is probably the one that keeps them going). Whereas I literally have huge memory gaps, so I could be told them again and probably wonder if they're true..

Pre Internet there were always urban legends about famous people who had dropped out of the spotlight. Bobby MacFerrin of "Dont worry be happy" fame had blown his brains out being one example.

This one did the rounds while I was in college.

Young lad picks up strange loner girl in a nightclub. Goes back to hers and they start at it. She insists an inserting the end of a towel into his arse as its a kink of hers, Young lad doesn't give a **** and lets her go ahead with it. He starts pumping away into her and as he tells her he is about to cum she grabs the other end of the towel and whips it out of his arse. This causes him to lose control of his bowels and he ****s all over her and the bed.
Embarrassed he runs into the bathroom and gets a bit of courage after a few minutes to come out and apologise to the girl, only when he does come out she is rolling around in the **** frigging herself. Poor lad then runs out the apartment leaving the strange young wan to her scat fetich.

They know somebody who's relative was working in the twin towers in 2001 and on the morning of September 11th they were delayed and didn't make it into work.

Another one that was doing the rounds was a wife saw on tv the plane crashing into the WTC and franticly called her husband who worked there. He answered without a care in the world and said he was bored at his desk, all the while in his mistresses bed. Talk about getting snared if true, heard something similar about a businessman who said he was on the Malaysian airlines flight that went missing but was shacked up in a hotel bedroom with his secretary. Called his wife to say he landed.
