Then a few months ago the Irish Independent ran a story to coincide with the start of "Desperate Housewives". I think they interviewed a bunch of housewives in Kildare. They all said they were all sleeping around like mad with younger men, car salesmen, married politicians etc.

You do know that these Indo interviews with unamed people are always works of fiction? With a bit of common sense they can often be worked out. Like a little story they had on drug addiction a few years ago which went along these lines

“James is 24 and from a working class Dublin family. He first started smoking when he was seven,stealing cigarettes off his parents. At 10 he was inhaling gas,at 11 he was a regular drinker and at 13 regularly smoked cannabis. At 14 he was using ecstasy and before his 18th birthday he had become a user of cocaine, crack and heroin”
I swear that is basically the wording of the article. Now think about it this way. If this guy was 24 in 2002 or 2003 he was born in the late 1970s. From what Ive been told by lads in their late 20s cocaine was the rich mans drug until the late 90s. Expensive stuff. Basically stuff that northside howiyas got to do once in a blue moon if they were lucky. So a skanger had easy access to it before he was 18? As for crack cocaine,its only starting to take off with junkies lately. In the early 90s in Ireland it was virtually non existant. So this reporter either struck it lucky by finding Irelands first working class coke abuser and our first crack addict,or they were talking out of their arse to make their point. The Indo is as much of a rag as any Sunday tabloid.



Anyway ive went off topic.....
As for the key thing, I believe that bit in that ad with everyone going "ummm", its for one of the banks, Irish Life i think, is a reference to it (yer one isnt too pleased with the oul lad shes ended up with)
Personally i wouldnt mind playing the key game with the blondie in the ad whos unsure whether to get engaged or not........


As for its popularity, Ive barely ever heard of it. Im more of a dogging man myself
And besides, I dont even have a ****in car

I don't like this - it discrimintates against people who don't have cars. Could you put a pair of Bus Éireann tickets in the bowl instead?
