    No,I didn't eat his sandwiches.

    The other was a young fella who commited suicide caught on branches in the Suir.

    Is finding dead people strange?

    I remember well over twenty years ago in West Cork walking in the woods I found a cardboard box with some vinyl albums,one was Led Zeps Physical Graffiti and another was by The Byrds.There were also some 70s German counter culture magazines.It was after raining quite a bit so they were soaked.Theres a lot of German hippys living in that area so I imagine someone dumped them.

    I have found this thread to be displeasing

    My mother lost her wedding ring years ago. My father bought her a replacement but it wasn't the same. Almost 15 years later she got a phone call from someone who thought they might have her ring. Turns out they were digging their back garden and found what they initially thought was a washer. On closer inspection they thought it might be a wedding ring so they cleaned it up and yes, it was a wedding ring. The guy remembered that my mother had lost her ring and thought it might be hers and turns out it was. It really made my mother's day to get it back.

    We were taking out an old bath tub in our apartment back in Germany some years ago.
    When we got the tub out, we found an old empty glass Pepsi bottle underneath it, completely intact. It must have been left there when the bath was put in in the mid-60s.
    Funny thing is it looks exactly like a Coca Cola bottle, even the Pepsi logo is done in the same script at Coca Cola today.

    Hope you kept the bottle, it may be worth something.
    Coca Cola sued Pepsi for copyright infringement on the design of that bottle and won (this was early 1960s). Pepsi bottles have been different since then.

    I found a current Munster/Irish rugby player throwing his shoes at a bus last night.

    Found rusted nunchaku and a hash pipe in the parents' garden, on different occasions.

    Found a rabbit's paw in my own back garden. I wonder if it was dumped there by a neighbour's cat.

    In the early 90s when I was about 17 I found a porno playing card on the street with a pic of a naked woman spreading her legs.When I took it in the school and showed it around I was briefly the most popular guy in the class.You diden't get to see stuff like that too often in pre internet days.

    I found an unopened bottle of beer under the hedge when I was doing some spring cleaning. It was three years out of date.

    It wasn't much of a waste, it was only Heineken....

    I was walking in the mountain behind my house one time with my then boyfriend, and laid out on a rock was a pair of trousers and a top with one of the arms cut off, looked like they'd been there a while. Short of some kind of 127 Hours scenario or a one armed man sitting down for a rest and then being abducted by aliens or leprechauns or something I can't for the life of me figure out what might have happened.

    Found all this lovely stuff under my floorboards over the last few months.

    Is it my imagination, or is that two parts of a broken femur on the left?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,653 ✭✭✭Voodoomelon


    Quite possibly, but that of a cow I would imagine.

    That's grand so. Sure, we'll hope for the best. :D

    Was kayaking off skerries last year and 3 new looking 18 inch alloys wheels with new tyres floated past me in a small group... Looked for that last one for ages...

    Found an envelope with £900 and two condoms in it in a car I bought. Had to bring it to the central bank! They wouldn't give me new condoms unfortunately!

    I once found a grinder with a good lump of weed in it beside a river bank in the middle of nowhere. I was fly fishing just stumbled across it.

    Law revision cards. These were in German. Which makes sense because I am in Germany right now.

    Looks like a sharks head!!!

    Speaking of decapitated animal heads (now there's a sentance I never thought I'd be typing) I once came across a cat's head hanging on some of it's own skin tied to a branch in the woods in kildare.

    Was a skull basically hanging from a tree.

    Very blair witch.

    I nearly shat myself!
