If you hold a buttercup under your chin on a sunny day and there's a yellow reflection, you like butter. Considering every single person who ever did this liked butter, it's hard to fathom why the EU ended up with a mountain of it.

That Swans will break your arm out of spite because they turned three children into swans and those swans were then eaten by the Loch Ness Monster who went on to destroy large cities in Japan because the buildings tasted a bit like chocolate.

Almost certainly true (ish) Any 9 year old would have been driving the farms smallest tractor regularly. Thought not on the road very often.

Near my parents' house there was a Carmelite monastery type thing, with a park and pond/lake around it and then some fields. If you hopped over the wall and cut across the field, it would take about 10 minutes off the walk to the local newsagent. The urban legend was that the building was actually a branch of the Dundrum Mental Hospital, and that one of the jobs the prisoners/patients were given was to tend the grounds. The tale goes that two young lads cut through the field one day and were chased down by an inmate, one was never seen again, and the one that got away went grey overnight and never spoke another word :pac:

Like the thread was made at 7:22pm and that same minute the first reply was taking a popshot at religion? Did you even read the op Drumsteve or couldnt you reply quick enough from reading the thread title?

There are so many pops against religion on here. We get it. Alot of people here are athiest. Who cares

Well a lot of people on boards were brought up catholic, taught in catholic schools, had catholic doctrine forced down their necks and when they became adults they did away with the whole thing. The topic is things that was told to you that turned out to be boll*x. Religion in various forms fits the bill. Quit yet moaning and go have a bit of a pray. I'm sure you will feel better.

My older sister used to tell me if swallowed even a drop of toothpaste while brushing my teeth, I'd die on the spot. Que me crying my eyes out frantically spitting toothpaste all over the sink after every brush.

She also told me when I was really young that if all my teeth feel out at the same time, I'd get taken to the fairytooth kingdom by the fairy Godmother herself! I was absolutely devastated when my first tooth fell out cos it meant I'd never see the kingdom. I still remember the pain!

Same sister used to cover a knfe with ketchup and drag my other older sister (who'd also be in on it), into the room where I'd be watching cartoons like a corpse and say, with manic eyes - You're next!

What a wonderful sister I had

Eating sausages in the kitchen that my nanny lovingly fried for me, in walks granda and says
''eew do you know what you're eating?''

granda: ''they're pigs willy's, not sausages''
I started crying, coughing up the sausages, and screaming..

If we had sex we might catch a disease that turned our willies black and then they'd fall off. Not sure what horrifying disease the girls were supposed to catch, they were taken to another room for that part of the talk.

When a mammy and daddy love each other very much...

Bear in mind that I was 14 at this stage.

Maybe it's just me but I was always told that if you blew air in your face, like from a hand pump or whatever you'd get warts.

Also that if you'd eat seeds from fruit a tree would grow in your belly!
