    No-one ages 10 years in a few days! You have to have been a dictator of a country for 10 years for that!

    I just wonder how many doctors endorse such claims! :D

    I was working for a cleaning company a few years back, and one night I left a few offices until after I'd finished my other job. The company's offices were on both sides of a pedestrian street. I was giving my girlfriend a lift home that night. When I was doing one set of offices, I realised I needed stuff that was in the offices across the street. I told my girlfriend to wait and I'd be back in a minute. The offices across the way were not being used for a couple of months and I hadn't gone near them. I opened the shutter, unlocked the door and went upstairs. The stuff wasn't where I'd left it, so I wandered around with the little LED light on my phone. Alot of the lights weren't working. I noticed that some of the builders who worked for the company had been using the place as a canteen as there was bread and stuff on a table. When I had just given up looking, I realised I'd missed the first office inside the door. I opened it and saw a dark shape on the floor. It took a second to register that it was a person. He seemed to be naked except for a blanket wrapped around him. Like a shot it hit me why the food was on the table. I nearly dropped. He was about 30-40 years old and had long hair and a beard. He looked just like Bobby Sands during the hunger strike. When it hit me what I was looking at, I made some sort of noise. He stuck out a hand and said "It's O.K.". I slammed the door and legged it down the stairs. I locked the door after me and put down the shutter. It seemed to take ages as it was electric. I ran across the street and my girlfriend said I looked like I'd seen a ghost. I finished up quickly and left a note on the receptionists desk say they had a squater in the offices across the street. I don't know how he got in, but I reckon he'd got on the roof from a yard next door and came in through a skylight. That was one of the biggest shocks I've ever had and I hope I never get one even remotely as worthy of pant shatting again.:eek:

    Feckin muppets like u drive the insurance premiums up for the rest of us. Spa. You realise if you seriously injured someone there would be no insurance to pay the hospital fees and might die as a result? Actually pissed off u didn't now, least u wouldn't still be on the road.

    A few years ago, I had replaced the standard Windows start up sound with another sound that was basically some evil-as-hell sounding thing talking in some weird language.
    One morning I'd come downstairs, and turned the pc on. My mother was in the kitchen, so I was chatting away to her when I heard this freaky as f*ck voice (volume was high on the pc, and I'd forgotten I'd turned it on) echoing about the place. Apparently my mother'd realised what it was, but I nearly shat meself when I heard it.

    Not as good as some here...but, uh...shut it.

    Bleurgh! Ew! Bah! Hurl. I hate feckin cockroaches. Hardy little bastards too, being able to survived nuclear holocausts and whatnot. I seem to recall that a hammer does the trick fairly well when it comes to extermination. I think it's the noise that freaks me out the most.
    Clicking feckers. And on your face too...see now that's just plain foul.

    ...........a few weeks ago when my son was almost 4 yrs old he went missing in City Square Shopping Centre. My Mam was minding him at the time but got a dizzy spell and nearly fainted. Luckily she was ok but due to the fact my son can move like lightening she realised he had ran off. She searched with the help of security gaurds and shop assistants for 20 minutes but couldn't find him. I finished work and met her at 5:20 and she was hysterical. I then searched myself for a further 20 minute which were the longest most horrifying minutes of my ENTIRE life. I will never forget not being able to find my son. We searched every shop in the shopping centre lots of times. I even went down to the underground car park. My heart was thumping and I was shaking with shock and fear. I was beginning to fear the worst and kept thinking of Jamie Bolger (RIP) and tbh there are no words to describe what I felt for those minutes. Eventually I found him 40 minutes after he had gone missing. He was strolling around Dunnes without a care in the world. Thank God he's ok but I will NEVER forget those 20 minutes searching for my son, even thinking about it now I've aged another 10 years.

    Aged another ten years eight months later when our car went out of control on the Cork to Kerry road and the arse of it swung out over a 200+ft drop but lucky came back around and the car stopped. We were literally parallel to the drop. When I opened my door all I saw was a river way way way below me.

    remind me never to get in car with you.

    you are the jonah of cars.

    Aged ten years when I was at a friends house a couple of years ago. The guys seriously out of his mind. He says he's going to the toilet, gets up and leaves the room. A couple of minutes pass and I'm twiddling my thumbs wondering where the hell he is. I hear my name being called, I turn around to find a double barrel shotgun to my head. I'm freaking out telling him to put it down yet he just laughs and I watch, petrified, as his finger squeezes the trigger and then .. *click*.

    thankfully enough it wasn't loaded, but damn, I almost shat myself.
