    I was once told "you are really great at making mediocre dinners" :pac: I actually love that one so much, I cant be mad about it and it's true. Spag bol, cottage pie etc. Tbf though I do do a great roast.

    Another one was when i was called aside by a girl I was out with and she said "you look deadly tonight...but you would look so much better with a bit of fake tan"

    On the other hand I was once called a Weapon by someone which was meant as an insult but I take it as a compliment :cool:

    Just a lighthearted thread, for a bit of levity.

    Sid The Sexist in Viz had some defivinitve ones. Dance floor chat up lines like, 'You dinna sweat much for a fat lass' which invariably ended up with him getting a bottle broken over his head.

    I believe there's a great line in the committments movie or maybe the snapper .... "You don't sweat much for a fat bird"

    Best I have personally heard has been.... "The bit of weight suits you" said by one female to another.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that


    Said about an engagement ring being shown off, "isn't it lovely and neat?"

    Someone once told me that my face is so anonymous and inoffensive that if she closed her eyes, she couldn't picture me.
