    I am blind, why did you think it was ok to leave us in the cold.

    You'll just have to wait until your dog's in heat.

    I also remember seeing angles as a child which is even weirder. You'd wonder how the mind can play tricks with you like that. I seems insane.

    Sounds too obtuse to be true.

    Two things I have seen come to mind ( both in China as it happens )

    1) We were driving past where they were building a new motorway tunnel, and a guy is on a push bike , with a bamboo pole on which are hanging two large barrels of boiling tar / pitch !

    2) Hoisting a a/c unit onto a 2nd floor , they have a forklift fully extended , onto which is loaded a forklift also fully extended , and the AC unit is on the second forklift.

    Mad , Health and Safety is non-existent .

    I saw this weird thing on tv a few times now...It had the the body of a woman but the face of a horse! I think it was called Sarah Jessica Parker.

    I was walking to work early one morning still half asleep. I was going around the corner and saw there was an elephant at the entrance to the park I walk through.

    I thought I was still dreaming.

    Turns out a circus was being set up in the park and they just let the elephant out for a wander!

    That's up there with the time I was driving to work past Clover Hill Prison , and saw a camel grazing in the field across the road from the prison, again it was a circus , but a serious double take !!

    I went to see Darren Brown, that chap makes me sh1t green I have no idea how he does what he does. Then he even tell you how he did it and I still have no idea.

    In Stephen's Green (the park, not the shopping centre) with the missus one day last summer, just happened to look up and THERE:

    A man in a wheelchair being pulled along by 5 or 6 jack russells running on leashes! It was incredibly surreal, he was going at some speed too!

    I power walk along Dollymount for exercise, I have seen people exercise their dog from a leash while sitting in their cars driving up the road to the beach.

    I kid you not, the lazy bastards, but to their credit they are obviously responsible dog lovers.

    Based on what I have seen here I have lived a very sheltered life!

    Weirdest for me was back in the last century on the West Coast of the US. Went to Santa Cruz for the weekend and went on the lash as you do with a couple of Irish mates. Think it was early evening time we wandered into (quite possibly the only) Irish bar. We were the only ones there so pulled up three high stools at the bar and had chat a good laugh with the Bar Man (from Kansas).

    Few beers later and while trying to read the 1916 Proclamation on the back of the bar (big mirror) I spotted a guy in full clown gear behind us throwing darts and supping a pint. Rightly assumed I was four winds, etc and nudged one of the mates who turned around with a 'WTF' to which Mr Clown, in a deep, deep Kerry accent asks us 'hows it cuttin lads?' at which point more beer was ordered and the rest of the night it a blur.....


    Back in the last century??


    Arsehole!!

    A junkie attempting to have a **** on the Millennium bridge. On second thoughts sickest maybe more appropriate....

    I saw an anorexic woman of about 5ft2 leading a big fat guy about 6ft and 30 stone around the bus station in Rome on a lead and collar he had tied around his neck. It was the middle of July, melting hot and he had a big coat on him. It was like something you would have seen on Eurotrash, very odd.

    Took the cable car up the Rock of Gibraltar last month. There are a load of wild monkeys living up there that wander amongst the tourists. We stopped to take a photos of one (from about 3 metres away) when it suddenly jumped out of the tree and latched onto my friend's bag. She dropped the bag and we all ran. The monkey proceded to open the zip, search through her stuff and finally take out the sandwich she'd brought for lunch. It then abandoned the bag at our feet and returned to the tree, unwrapping the tinfoil around the sandwich as it went. Couldn't believe what I was seeing!


    Apart from that, probably a woman pushing a dog around in a buggy in Belgium last year. Weird doesn't even cover it!

    Saw and old man driving a micra up the wrong side of a duel carriage way in Cork last week wish I had bought a dash cam.

    He was probably from a country where people drive on the right hand side of the road!:D

    I got a Yorkie once and there was a Wispa inside the wrapper. Honest to god. A friend witnessed it and everything. They're not even made by the same company.

    I laughed out loud at this :D

    I can just hear you saying to your mate.........


    "Jaysus, would you look at that! A fu*king Wispa in a Yorkie wrapper!!!!!"

    and him going

    "Shure they're not even made by the same feckin crowd!!!"


    :D:D:D:D

    A man walking a cat on a lead. It was one of the weirdest/ funniest things I've ever seen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭Intensive Care Bear


    I saw a guy with no arms and no legs walk in on his stumps to burger king and order a double whopper meal, i then had the misfortune of sitting opposite him as he tried to eat the double whopper using his elbows. Their was mayonnaise all over his face, i felt so bad i had to leave early. I wanted to offer him a hand but i though i would sound like an as*hole.

    There is a homeless guy in London who wears a big ginger cat as a scarf. I always wondered what anti fur campaigners would think of that.
