    When my OH went to bed last night I changed all the clocks back 1 hour, on her phone in the kitchen and in her car. He he.
    I also changed her my name on her phone to her bosses name. He he he.
    She got up 1 hour early and went off to work, after 10 minutes I texted her which would have read from her phone: All staff, due to health and safety advice, there is no work today because of hurricane Daniella making land fall later today. May God have mercy on us all” He he he he.
    She rang me all excited telling me all this guff, and I couldn’t help but laugh, after about 5 minutes the dizzy girl finally realised what was happening.
    She then texted me from work “I am here one hour early you f*****ng c***t”

    If you set the clocks back 1 hour, she would have been an hour late for work, not early!

    that is classic. I assume you can not mute the windows shut down sounds. brilliant.

    As a child, got my Dad about 4 years in a row with the classic jug of water over the door.

    He took it in good spirits every time (surprisingly!):D

    I also changed my name on her phone to her bosses name.

    How did she call you if you had already changed your name on her phone?

    Hmmm...

    I still smell a rat.

    Do you even have a girlfriend?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'm such a gullible bastard. My wife gets me every year and topped it by catching me already with one at 730 this morning.

    Actually had the girlfiend going last year that we had won the lotto in the work syndicate and I was going to get around €27k (had to keep it almost believable). She was heartbroken.

    B*tch got me back this morning.

    Wow!!

    Ah, but you also said she texted you after. How did she know she wasn't texting her boss, seeing as you changed your name to his name in her phonebook?

    It's a great story but I don't think it really happened.

    Some people like to tell people what they WISHED they did, rather than what they actually have done.

    The Guardian have ran with a series of incredulous stories about the impending royal wedding. Here is a leaked excerpt from Prince Harry's supposed speech:
    MEMO TO SELF: NO TITS JOKES. I've known Wills for as long as I've known myself, all my life really, well actually, when one thinks about it, for my entire life! (PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER) I was particularly looking forward to being best man as I'd heard he always gets the pick of the totty (PAUSE FOR CHEERS) Although trust bloody Wills to spoil my fun by choosing children as his bridesmaids! (PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER) It doesn't seem that long ago that Wills and I were riding around great grandmama's estate (PAUSE FOR TEARS), talking about all the funny little people we'd seen on our visit to the village(PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER). But now look at us! (PAUSE FOR CHEERS) Anyway, so I'll never forget the fancy-dress party where

    When she rang about the hurrican, and I eventually told her it was Aprils Fools day and explained the prank, she knew that her bosses name was my neam on her phone.

    You have just ruined my whole morning now.:confused:

    Exactly. Though I'd still like to see him try to patch up those holes in his story, just for my own amusement. :p

    RTE news are at it but they could have disguised the word "Aprilfool" in the link address, idiots:rolleyes:

    Are you right there folks please? From today deputy drinkers will have to go elsewhere for their favourite alcoholic tipple, as the Dáil Bar is officially revamped as a juice and smoothie bar.

    In efforts to show a fitter, healthier Ireland to our European counterparts, it is thought the low-key move was actually decided last year.
    The timing of today's date is said to important however, but it is not known if it was so TDs could have one last chance to drown their sorrows after yesterday's bank stress tests.
    Where as many a political heave would have been discussed over stout, lager or shorts, now members will have to be content with considering a coup de grace over a strawberry and carrot combo.
    'How do you like them apples?' said one TD who asked not to be named. 'Just because some prunes decided it's no longer healthy to have a few.'
    Fittingly it is believed a delegation from New Zealand, also known as The Kiwis, will be the first to try out the new facilities.
    A potential banana skin was believed to have been avoided however, when the new Government signed off on its new measures in one of its first moves.

    This thread is filled with so much confusion and anger, when did April Fools become so forced? I miss subtlety

    Got stung badly this morning :(

    My car was broken into at the start of the month and I had mentioned how soul destroying it was seeing all the glass over the ground and that the car was a jinx.


    Woke up this morning and went to go out to my car, it was gone with glass beside what would have been the side window. Had the phone out and guards rang before walking up the estate and seeing my car parked behind a house.

    The bitch :(
