    He describes the operator as "way too calm and collected", which tells you a lot - it seems he'd prefer it if they spazzed out altogether and posted OMG on facebook rather than working out the logistics of a rescue - so I'm guessing he was ranting and roaring and they didn't understand him.

    Tbf, I wouldn't understand a Corkonian shouting frantically down the phone at me either. It'd probably sound like someone playing the Axel F theme by the Annoying Frog on a broken synthesizer.

    Which they're trained to be. what would people prefer the emergency operator freaking out at the other end of the phone?

    Im sure emergency services are used to people calling them with emergencies too. They would be exhausted if they had a fit each time there was someone calling with one. If they all started panicking and running all over the office nothing would be done.

    You're trying to get me killed, this person isn't too bad really. I dont need to sit at a screen with some paper as I try to decipher something that makes the da vinci code look like a childrens word search.

    I saw this yesterday and something really didn't sit right with me.

    First of all, if someone had drowned in Cork, I think we would have heard about it on the news by now?

    It doesn't sound very credible, but if there is any truth to his claim that the operator couldn't find 'Patrick St', then there is a very serious problem here. Is it possible that the operator on the end of the phone was a long way from Cork, and had possibly never been to Cork and never heard of Patrick St?

    It seems true alright. Long thread about it in the Emergency Services Forum.

    It's an awful story, but I'm laughing in spite of myself now at the thought of what he expected:

    "HELLO THERE'S SOMEONE DROWNING DOWN HERE I NEED HELP!"
    "You...WHAT?!? THAT'S AWFUL! DO SOMETHING!"
    "I AM! I CALLED YOU!"
    "Oh **** oh **** oh ****...we need to THINK!"
    "SEND! HELP! NOW!"
    "Just gimme a second I'm...FREAKING OUT A BIT HERE! Are you 100% sure they're not just...synchronized swimming or something?!?"
    "There's only one of them, who would they be synchronised with?!"
    "Right. ****."

    This was psoted on a "yarns" page which basically just posts stories from the locality.
    From Anonymous........ Wont mention names but here goes 3 lads from ballyfore went to work in Boston a good few years ago and went to the pub one Friday evening for a few scoops, 2 of the lads had to work sat so went home early and one lad stayed for another while, a couple of hours later he headed home and got mugged and beat up by 2 black lads a few blocks from his digs, he managed to crawl back and knock on the door he was in bits and explained to the boys what happened. .. so the two boys grabbed 2 hurls n went down n knocked the lights out of the two black lads... an hour r so later a knok on the door and there stands a cop.. excuse me sir were doing enquiries about an assault that happened in the area have ye seen or heard anything? Says the cop no says the boys why what happened? ? (In an American accent) I dunno these lads round the block must b high r summit they reckon they got beat up by two lads with giant WOODEN SPOONS.... true story

    Boston wooden spoon story

    Heard the same about a fella (from Offaly also) doing it in New York, smells of urban myth, but it's a great story.

    Yeah, putting "true story" at the end of a story is always a good indicator that it is indeed a complete work of fiction!

    Ballyfore is in Offaly so it could be the same story.

    "Who says Facebook friends are not your real friends? They enjoy seeing you on the internet every day. Miss you when you're not on. Showing compassion when you lose someone you love. Send you greetings on your birthday. View the pictures you upload. Like your status. Make you laugh when you are said.

    Share this if you are grateful or your Facebook friends"

    What a load of old sh*t.

    Getting really fed up of all the sarcastic
    "My postmans back is broken from carrying all my cards", "ease up lads I can't keep up with all the Valentine's messages" etc etc.
    Boring!

    My sister-in-laws bf just posted a "voucher" picture on her Facebook page that reads:

    "GOOD FOR ONE EARTH SHATTERING, EARTH MOVING, TOE TINGILING, BODY VIBRATING ORGASM"

    And yes, it was spelled "tingiling".

    The worst thing is they're both friends with a LOT of family members on it, and they live together together. :confused:

    Narcissistic "I wish I had a valentine today" posts on Facebook. People don't have mothers on Mother's day, fathers on Father's day, or even families on Christmas day. SHUT THE FECK UP you self absorbed prick!



    Sorry. :o

    Tbf, you don't (hopefully) shag your mother or father so there is a bit of a difference…
