Leprachaun · 19-04-2009 12:38AM

Hold on,let me just run into town and find out. Back in a few hours.

Is this a trick question like one of those where in the world quizzes?

Borneo Fnctn · 19-04-2009 12:43AM

King Kong up to his old tricks I would have thought.

regob · 19-04-2009 12:43AM

no need to be cheeky he was just asking

Apparently two gay people ventured outside the George and into a "straight pub" and chaos ensued.

2qk4u · 19-04-2009 12:49AM

There was a fire earlier, not sure what time...

Nothin' from any news sources, still very early though. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Estimate on number of emergency vehicles / severity of situation?

They found a badly decomposed body near the long hall pub

apparently there was a medal and chain draped around its neck!

It had "1958 hide and seek champion" engraved on it

RATM · 19-04-2009 01:04AM

I have it on good authority that the Garda Armed Unit were involved. Apparantly a few Bolivians were plotting to assassinate Brian Cowen to teach us a lesson.
Guards blew them away.

Duh! Everyone knows that Georges Street is in Dublin.

Clearly not everyone knows where the Dublin City forum is.

Um, how about "You're there, you tell us"?

What the hell is the point of going "Guys, I've just got back from Georges Street, what's going on?"?

Is it really very likely that any of us are on Georges Street, like in The George, texting Boards from our mobiles?

Really?

Oh, okay then, I hear the next stall over, Turd Ferguson, is agreeing.

gurramok · 19-04-2009 02:09AM

banquo · 19-04-2009 02:13AM

How do you know it was a fire? And where?

kumate_champ07 · 19-04-2009 02:56AM

a bunch of english lads on a stag weekend got lost and ended up in the george by accident, someone rang the cops reporting a huge crime against fashion, a fight broke out and a queen was injured. the rumours spread down georges st like wildfire and everyone thought the queen of england was making a secret visit to dublin and was being assaulted so they sent the army in with willie o dea in the front line. when everyone in the george heard there was willy outside on the street they all caused a stampede running out the door ,but when they saw a little man outside with a moustache that hadnt been seen in the area since 1987 the **** hit the fan.

Bravo, the jokes are really on fire tonight.

It's terrorists. DEFINITELY. My sister said she read the news and sky said the US is on Orange Alert status and that it's definitely terrorists.

DEFINITELY.

Sharpshooter · 19-04-2009 03:09AM

Orange Alert, pfft tell your sister that was The Man From Del Monte.
He always say Yes.

She lie a lot?

Ruu_Old · 19-04-2009 03:18AM

Has anyone heard from the Leprachaun? I'm a little worried now. ;_; Come back safe.

pirelli · 19-04-2009 03:22AM

A kick boxer got his balls stuck in a sink hole in the George and he vaguely resembled one the most wanted al-Qaeda sought in connection with a the theft of a cherry picker that was used in a terrorist atrocity that involved the sodomy of a donkey.

Sharpshooter · 19-04-2009 03:22AM

Said he'd be back in a few hours, you worry too much, RUU.

Sam Vimes · 19-04-2009 03:43AM

There were reports that some people where seen coming out of a pub and they were flaming

In typical RTÉ style it doesn't say exactly what burned down, but mentions "An investigation is under way into the fire, which is believed to have caused extensive damage to the commercial building."

WHICH COMMERCIAL BUILDING?!

I wonder was anything there awaiting planning permission? ;-)

It WASN'T a fire, it was two flaming homosexuals having a flare up - don't be a bloody drama queen.
