The most surprising thing you ever heard..

or news you were given. What is it? You know those moments that leave you reeling. And if you were on the telly the camera would zoom in for a close up reaction shot.

I have a few.

One was when a parent told me they were seeing somebody new. Two years older than me. (I am not old)

When I was told Michael Jackson used to be black.

When I was told that I was a diabetic. And that the condition was life lasting. Oh you should have seen my face!

I honestly felt like I'd just been hit in the forhead with a hammer. Shock doesn't come close. It was concussive.

If it's your mum, that's gross.

If it's your dad, way to go, high-five etc.

Recently, in the last 8 months or so, when one of my housemates told me how much she was paying for her room.

It was a lot more than mine, and I was literally speechless for a whole minute.

When I was told one night that I had an older sister who was alive when I was a baby but died so I had no memory of her whatsoever

Having only seen the second half of the episode, I was quite surprised to learn it was in fact Kel, that put the screw in the tuna.

That Jo Brand is a comedienne. I couldn't believe it.

Wait .. I thought she was a mountain. I even planned an expedition to reach her summit.

I didn't even know she was human for a while there.

God I hate that bitch. This might cheer you up. Apparently happened at a show in London. Could be an Urban myth, but i'd like to think it happened to her.

Heckler: "You´re shit!"
Jo Brand: "Oh we have a comedian in the house."
Heckler: "We fucking wish."

Ha ha, now that is a burn. Why would someone who thought she was shít attend one of her shows.

Danbo! · 17-01-2009 12:15AM

Dunno, maybe she was supporting a good comedian.

Or supporting a lighting rig or the stage.

In a hotel in London and my Uncle heard that she was in it and he said out loud "she's ****e" she was right behind him.

Your joke has much worth, but it could be taken as tacit admittance of wanting to climb up on Jo Brand.

and if you meant it, you're disturbed.

Hehe, funny you mention that..

Was thinking the other day about the time myself and a mate went to see The Phantom Menace in the cinema...

When we came out I asked...

What you think of that?.

To which he replied..

"Thought it was a bit far fetched to be honest"

What the fluck?

How did it double post. Fuppin 3 modem.

Awesome. A thanks! Man, this 3modem is rightly pissing me off. It suddenly decides not to work while I'm posting. So it finally comes back and I refresh and viola, a double post 40 minutes after the original. Hey. You removed your thanks.

May I just add the fact that RTE have given McSavage his own go at a show.

Sake.

Unpossible · 17-01-2009 12:47AM

me: "I'd like to register my daughters name so we can get her birth cert"

Finnish magistrate: "Oh no you can't because you are not a permanent resident at the time of her birth so she has no municipalilty and we will not register her name unless you give us a passport for her"

So basically stuck in finland daughter is only a few weeks old, no birthcert without a passport :eek: caused a few months of angst but eventually the Irish embassy sorted it out.

In hindsight we didn't know how easy registering as a permanent resident was and would have done so earlier if we had known it was that important, but then I was also worried I would lose my Irish study grant if I did that.

Compared to those first 3 months the "honey I'm pregnant" line was nothing
