Things you would only hear or see in Ireland

    There's a road here in Letterkenny, County Donegal and at one end of it we have the council offices, near the middle we have an ALDI store and at the other end a steel fabrication manufacturing business.

    This is a busy two way system, but when you come out of the ALDI store there is a sign that says NO RIGHT TURN. But there is no right turn sign outside the other two buildings. Is this a case of something you would only see in Ireland.

    I found in Ireland you can use any term to describe how drunk you are and it would be understood for example if you said

    Ah lad I was absolutely fiberglass windowed last night

    They would be like ah man you must have been ****ed

    Not sure I can see the problem here? In fact I don't understand the question.

    The question is, only things you would see or hear in this country that you wouldn't hear or see in other countries. Things that are peculiarly Irish.

    To be called a c**t? I don't think so, if that's all it takes to be called names on here it says a lot about how infantile some people on here are.

    English speed limit signs are in mph. ;)

    EDIT: those images look photoshopped as well, but I have seen roads like the one on the right with 100kmh speed limits (I was on one today).

    You're missing quite a vital "NO" in your explanation. As in there is "no no right turn sign outside the other two buildings"
    No wonder this thread has gone tits up.

    Just look up any Healy-Rae quote. I am from Kerry and even I think they are fairly unique to Ireland.

    Ah sure he's only been on a 3 day bender, only had 42 pints today. He's grand to drive home. Give him a permit.

    I once saw a girl stand-up urinating out of a miniskirt on shop street in Galway.
    The street was wedged with people and all her friends were screaming at her and standing around her.
    They were all done up to the nines.

    Funny and tragic, but mostly funny.
