    Refuse to wear anything brightly coloured or garish. Pink trousers in Pennys/ Dunnes. Go F**k yourself. Only whipped guys wear that crap. That's why they are whipped. It's a woman's way to tell other women back off. What single guy buys pink clothes or anything fluffy. Get your Sh*t together dudes.

    This wasn't bad until the end. Real men wear whatever they feel like. Thankfully, real Irish men do not use Americanisms they picked up from watching too much American TV, like "dude" and "get your **** together"

    I hope you don't "lose your ****" at this comment, dude.

    :cool:

    Cunnilingus

    I used to think this was some sort of magical technique that was I was too young to perform or understand.

    Then I looked it up, and it turns out it's nothing more than 'drinking from the furry cup', which i've been doing successfully for years now!

    Myth = busted!


    Something else a man should be able to do - show compassion to all living things that deserve it. Especially, ESPECIALLY, animals.

    Hold beer in weaker hand turn lighter upside down, hold neck of bottle so that thumb is beside lid, put lighter between thumb and lid, push down hey presto..... Most lighters have a small indentation when upside down, this gives a lip which you can also use

    Yes.

    And do make sure it's a decent lighter too, the big bic ones work well. I've cracked the clear crappy plastic ones before doing this.

    If like me you have a pre central locking and loose/leave keys in car, try this
    1.locate tennis ball
    2.cut in half as straight as possible
    3.lubricate egde of ball
    4.cover keyhole so that the keyhole is roughly in the center of the bal
    5.with a quick push the button on door should pop up, repeat till it pops
    6.if you haven't lubricated the ball, good luck pulling it off
    Wash up liquid not bad to use

    Put a scalectrix together as soon as his kid asks him to do it Christmas morning

    I was always under the impression you should do that to avoid looking like a tourist/easy target for robbery rather than to look manly?:confused:

    Only thing to add that's not been mentioned is how to reset your boiler. Scary how little DIY around the home people can do nowadays.

    You're missing the point. I had no idea I was doing it until it was pointed out to me (I never feel lost for some reason) and it was in no way a conscious attempt to look manly.
