    Now with jedward getting in to the eurovision, and when people find out I'm a twin, everyone seems to think the whole twin thing is really interesting.

    Well boardies, is anyone here a twin? if yeah how do you find it? do you have any twin stories?

    I'll start with mine,

    Me and my twin bro cheated for our German oral exams, he was always crap at German so I did both of ours.
    I was first to do the test alphabetically (by first name) so after I did mine, I went into the bathroom and shaved my head, since that was the only difference between us.

    I was a little nervous at the start in case she found out, but once the coversation got going, I could tell she just couldn't give a sh*t!!! She asked the EXACT same questions and all!!!!
    We both ended up getting B's:D

    He owes me one!!!:mad:

    Yeah I've got a twin sister!

    Never had the guts to do something like your trick. As teenagers we were going out with two friends and we decided each of us would go over to the other ones boyfriend when we were meeting up with them in town. They didnt cop for a bit, until we said it...which was kind of crap actully. You'd think your boyfriend would like you for you!!! :) Im always a bit aprehensive even now of introducing a guy to her, just in case and i always watch his reaction verrry closely.

    I just dont see it all myself though, the whole, yer soooo alike thing. I know we are I suppose but i only realised what people were talking about when I met twins the same age as me in australia and we became friends. I had come without my twin, but spending time with these girls, hearing how there voices were really alike, and their mannerisms, and how much time they would spend together, and even I remember one saying, I'm just popping out to the shop for a sec, and the other saying yeah I'll come with you. We'd have done and do exactly the same.

    People always say to us, I know yer different I just dont know which is which, and I understood for the first time what they ment after meeting those girls. Though I always make a point of knowing twins names when I meet them from the get go.!

    Sure theres loads of stories. But anyway.

    Jay do you two get on? or do ye do much together? Do you find you have changed alot since growing up or how do ye deal with eachothers differences...if you know what I mean. ?

    Me and my brother are identical twins. I went looking for him one day, had a bad feeling, couldn't say why. He'd been hit by a car. Smashed his leg, but ok in the end.

    We've also turned up to family outings in nearly the same clothes.

    I have an evil twin. Never managed to track him down though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    My best friends are twins. Dont look anything alike though, and couldnt be more different from eachother in personality. I actually didnt even believe they were sisters when we went to school together, it was only when I went back to their house with one and saw the other there that I finally believed them! :o

    They get on brilliantly, but also fight like crazy, same as any other siblings I suppose. They would always have eachothers back at the end of the day and get the twin-thing sense when something is wrong with the other if they're apart. Always freaked me out a bit tbh...

    That story would have been way cooler if it ended with both of ye getting BJ's.

    I have a twin sister and I'm a guy. We do look pretty alike I suppose. We get on but half the ****ing time when I say anything to her she acts like I've said nothing, makes me want to punch her. :rolleyes:

    I have an identical twin sister. No mad stories except in college a mature student in her class saw me and started asking me a ton of questions about choosing a particular subject. I told her I was her twin and she started yelling at me saying that she didn't believe me and it was a typical to play tricks on mature students...
    I have been done for plagirisim in my final year thesis as well when my lecturer found my twin hanging out with a guy a few years ahead of me doing phd...I promptly made my lecturer aware that I had a twin
    A few years ago I was driving to the shops with my mum when I just started bursting crying for no reason. I found out later that she had been in an accident in france but she was fine except for bumps and bruises

    You were done for plagiarism because the lecturer found you (well he or she thought it was you) hanging out with a guy doing a phd :confused:

    Surely they needed proof of plagiarism to "do you for plagiarism" :confused:

    This "story" makes no sense to me whatsoever.

    Please explain.

    My brothers are twins, they look nothing alike so no interesting switcharoo stories here...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    Yeah I'm a twin.

    Once got in trouble by a teacher in first year. Just walked up to me and started yelling about how he'd told me five seconds ago to stay in the class etc etc... I was like WTF!!

    Then I copped and told him it must have been my twin.Few other stories of people mistaking me for him etc...

    We hang out a fair bit and get on. But have separate lives.

    And no, if he gets a kick in the balls I won't feel it. ... we are telepathic though! ;)

    Im a twin but my sister is the evil one. She doesnt talk to half the family including me. Apparently we're all cnuts. She doesn't realise that she is the common denominator in many friendships and relationships failing within a short period of time. We'd have arguements just like any other siblings but she'd want ya to lick her boots and worship her for an apology without taking any consideration where she went wrong. Nothing I can do. There is people like that who holds grudges and isolates themselves away from others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    :) I have a brother & sister who are twins,but they are like chalk & cheese with one being redhead and the other very sallow.actually I look more like the sallow one then the twin :o;)

    I don't have a genetic twin, but I met my look-a-like in Berlin a couple of years ago. Some of the lads started taking pictures of me and him. The poor fella hadn't a clue what was going on

    you mean he couldn't see the resamblance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,653 ✭✭✭Voodoomelon


    I've an identical twin but as we got older we looked less like each other. Turns out everyone thinks i'm an ignorant bastard as friends always see "me" in Dublin and apparently "I" ignore the sh1te out of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    I must have to say you do get an awful lot of craic out from being a twin. I was in the city a few months back and walking by a cafe, some guy at the window started waving like mad. I waved back and continued on. Then I copped on he must know my sister. So I doubled back, went in for a tea, and asked him out for a drink that night pretending to be my sister. Of course I never turned up and I dont know his name. Bad b1tch my sister is standing him up.

    I never did anything like that before and no thought went into it. It was all on impulse.

    I didnt really arrange a date though. I told him that I was going to be in such a pub with the girls if he wanted to meet for a drink. And sure maybe he didnt even turn up himself.

    Sort of, I was on a class trip at the time, and none of us explained to him in German what was going on. Then my teacher sat down and had a chat with him. I don't know if she explained what was going on but I suppose she would have.

    Its gotten a few reactions on Facebook.
