I realised last night that after seeing about a minute and a half of Mrs. Browne's Boys, that it is the worst programme ever made. Tries way too hard to be funny, at 'jokes' you can see coming a mile away.
How do people watch this dirt?

I only copped about a year ago that there's only one water supply to every house in the country. I always assumed there was two supplies to every home, a treated drinking water line run to kitchens and the like, and then a separate untreated line run to bathrooms for showering, toilets, sinks etc.

I always thought turning the stopcock off out the front of the house turned off both supplies at once! Pretty mad we treat all water and then flush 95% of it away.

That would cost a lot of money. What should be done is a large tank to collect rain water, as well as the existing treated water supply.

Would not consider myself a fan of MBBs or against it either. I can take it or leave it. I reckon why people watch it so much is that it is about the best that is on at the time.

3 things ALWAYS sell: violence, vulgarity (especially of a sexual and toilet based nature) and stupidity.

Relating to this, I don't know why Irish people watch so many of these UK-based soaps. The above 2 and Coronation Street being the main ones: 99 out of every 100 people watch these.

What about Home & Away and Neigbours?

diomed · 02-01-2015 08:45PM

Not "just realised" but just looked up.
The bridge is officially the Liffey Bridge. It was first called the Wellington Bridge. For a time it was known as the Penny Ha'penny Bridge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha%27penny_Bridge Feck sake. I've lived in Dublin for nearly 60 years and knew nothing about it.

That a ten gallon hat isn't so called because it can hold ten gallons. It's from the Spanish for braid - galon. Apparently.

I always wondered why me giving my word didn't seem to count for much. Turns out it's because most people's word isn't worth anything so they assume no-one else's is.

I'm watching "50 funniest moments 2014" on E4.

The only 2 people I recognise on it are Danny 'I'm a twat' Dyer, and Eamonn Holmes.

I've just realised, from this show:

If they really are the 50 funniest moments, I have no sense of humour.
I do not know any British 'Celebrities' at all.
2014 completely skipped by me unnoticed except for maybe 4 moments.
Every single person on that show.......... :mad::mad:
I missed nothing in 2014.

That 'different strokes for different folks' is handjob related rather than golfing or horses or whatever the fcuk I thought it was.

JaseBelleVie · 11-01-2015 02:29AM

I never knew that Brian Epstein (the Beatles' manager) was gay. Only found out by reading about it there now.

Kevin McCloud · 11-01-2015 02:32AM

That the key of the house don't start the jeep.

I assumed it related to rowing. Like, different people would have different rowing techniques?

I have to say this thread has been an education.

If you can't get a slot before the deadline for your car you need to.ring them and they put you on a cancellation list and text when a closer date comes up.You can specify times that suit and everything

One of the Rat Pack, not sure if was Dean Martin, got a locksmith to change the locks on his car , house, boat , whatever, so that one key would fit them all.

What really obvious thing have you only just realised?
