    Only recently got that Ned Flanders' kids' names rhyme with god. How many years has that show been on?

    Speaking of toblerone...

    Only realised this last month...
    Currently eating a Toblerone I specifically bought to try this out. Everyone in the room was amazed at how well it worked!

    Please explain, I'm intrigued.

    Edit: just googled it, never knew that!

    I know a guy who believed Guerilla Warfare was when armies used to train Gorillas to fight. He would have been roughly 18 at the time

    I thought something similar when i was very young. I thought gorillas were out of control so we had to have a war with them. It was only when i saw the spelling that i knew i was wrong

    About two weeks ago I realised there was a relationship between the word "news" and the word "new". Bleedin thick!

    That boards.ie is ****e :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 339 ✭✭TirEoghain


    That the cases musicians carry instruments are called flight cases... so that they can bring them on flights!

    Suppose I'd never been on a flight when I first heard them being called flight cases.

    The mysterious character in "Person of Interest" is named Mr. Rhys. Took me a couple of episodes.

    Agreed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    I think/thought the "strawhole" is just to have a grip on it? I barely ever see people using straws in cans!

    Also I'm pretty sure "news" does just come as like, the plural of new - the things that are new kind of thing, since it's the same in other languages like French. I saw a video earlier explaining how double is linked to doubt, blew my mind. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    That despite an amazing family, a lovely boyfriend and some wonderful friends, I am truly alone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 407 ✭✭muckyhands


    Hadnt realised that was a straw hole til now! :o

    Also just realised Im too slow to keep up with After Hours. :o:o

    And that my daughter still wants me around, and to actually play with her- :):)

    She made some friends on the road in the last few years and I thought thats it Momma, youve had it,...

    (Ive been on the back burner for a while) :(:rolleyes:

    but alas,... I- The Mammy- will be the Chief Judge in a 'Build A Bear fashion competition' tomorrrow morning. :D

    Better still- I cant wait. :D:D

    (You' ll all have just realised how sad us Mammys really are. :eek::eek::eek:)

    No, being mammy is the best thing in the world so is far from sad. xx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 407 ✭✭muckyhands


    Far from sad could be just around the corner, wait for it. :):):)

    Just had another wonder- are there any Daddys or Dads to be out there, who just realised theyre jealous of the Chief Judge of a build a bear competition??? (or whatver it is they' re into right now, the kids that is)???

    Come on- dont be shy. :D:D:D

    And would you boast to your friends in the pub such an esteemed role? :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I hope Dads feel like that. My dad was never one to get overly involved in my life and my kids dad is almost non-existent in their lives so I hope there are some really worthy dads out there.

    Of course there are, I know loads of extremely worthy and amazing fathers. My own being one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    So good to hear that. My own dad is actually amazing he just was too busy for the little things that actually mean a lot in some ways. I just want my sons to be amazing dads some day so am scared that the example they have been set is damaging.

    That my balls have dropped? Its really not that obvious

    I think mother's have much more of an impact on their children anyway. I'm sure you're setting a fine example for them, don't look too far into the future yet, they'll be fine.

    That 'landlord' comes from the words 'land lord'.

    Well, you said really obvious, yes?
