    I get a great laugh at reading some of the things on overheardindublin.com so thought we could share a few of our own here - stories/misinterpretations/incorrect use of a word etc!

    People who say 'pumpture' instead of 'puncture' [very common!]
    Someone who commented on my 'lovely sequences' on my top when they really meant 'sequins'.

    I'm sure there are more but it's dinner time!

    I once heard a girl on the 17a complain on the phone about how hard it is to have sex with someone in their job without the whole office finding out.

    I asked her where she works and went to submit an application.

    "Did you know that semen contains vitamin E or something like that?"

    "Really? I better start swallowing then"

    Starbucks is weird sometimes.

    Nah I think he just doesn't like hard trance or 'dance music' in general.


    I overheard a converation in a pub between some senior figures in the local UDC about plans to pederstrianise the main thoroughfare of Dundalk....for anyone that knows the town they'd know precisely how stupid such a notion is, but should not be surprised when it still goes ahead in the next few years...

    When i was on honeymoon last year in mexico one of the hotels we stayed in had suites named after famous artists, performers and the like. A yank tourist stood at reception and saw the Pavarotti suite being advertised for $299 per night like so "Pavarotti-$299" and said "Wow, Pavarotti, I didnt know he was coming here". I just said "Ya, but i dont think he's singing live" and left it at that.

    I've said a lot of stupid things myself.

    "Where's Prague... Isn't that in Portugal?"

    Someone asked me if I knew who Mark Twain was

    "He's that guy who writes quotes!"

    I said both of those things a few years ago, but they still mortify me to this day!

    On the 46A out to UCD a few years back, a few D4ish girls sitting a few seats down talking about the Pride and Prejudice movie (Kiera Knightley version)

    Fop #1 : "I thought it was really good"

    Fop #2 : "yeah, but I can't believe they got away with making such a rip-off of Bridget Jones' Diary"

    Oh dear

    ''NAVAN''
