    We all know the one of a fella whose sister/cousin went off with a fella in Amsterdam. They were kissing at his doorstep and he was mad to invite her in, but she felt a bit apprehensive and turned him down.

    She returns back to Ireland and develops a rash. Goes to the doctor, where its discovered that a rash such as that can only be gotten by someone in contact with dead bodies.

    In the meantime the weird Dutch guys apartment is raided by police and there are a few murdered women buried under the floorboards!

    One of my friends swears she knows someone who was an 'actress' for the russian mafia.

    She said if you ever need chloroform or roofies or mild honey trapping ask her.

    She said they treated her quite well and were quite polite.

    I actually know someone else who said her guy friend had a girlfriend who did something similar in her past.

    Everyone I know from Cork City who's over 44 knows someone or themselves seen Nirvana in Sir Henry s even though I heard that there was only twenty odd people there...

    What are the odds of that :)

    That gig was packed out.
    Nirvana were supporting Sonic Youth. The gig was sold out by SY.
    Probably 500+ people at it.

    Two I've heard loads of times,

    My ma's friends grand daughter went to the zoo on a school tour and when she got home she had a penguin in her schoolbag.

    The other is

    Two lads from collage took acid and went out in town,on the way home they found a leprechaun and brought him home.
    Next day they had forgotten until they heard something coming from the closet.
    opened it up and there was a man with downs syndrome in there!

    Both total bull ****e but have heard them both at least 3 times from different groups

    The story about the ketamine party and one of the lads finding a magic elf that he found and has it upstairs and it turning out to be a Down’s syndrome kid he’d taken back to the party from a booze run to the shops sounds unbelievable but I was there and It actually happened

    Hahahaha cringe. Just in the aftermath of the graphic awe inspiring visuals of 9/11, the thoughts of Grafton St, next scene of a terrorist attack seems so quaint. Ofc we weren’t oblivious to terrorism on this island before and the nature of terrorist attacks in Europe in recent years show an attack like this possible but just find it funny the self-importance and Irish centric nature of this one.

    The story is about someone helping a Muslim with something and getting a warning not to be at the twin towers, the night club in Paris, Tower Bridge etc on the day of the attacks. In any version I heard it was about an actual attack that happened. Not a supposed one on Grafton Street.

    I'm sure that's what the poster meant too. Not sure why they used Grafton Street as an example though :D

    There might be something to it.

    The last few years at the annual Christmas busk on Christmas Eve has seen massive Garda presence blocking it off at both ends with barriers etc.

    Also the huge block planters at grafton and henry st are specifically there to stop any loon in a car going on a rampage.

    The one where some guy in SE Asia goes on holiday with his friends then has nightmares the first and second day about drinking booze in the mirror, vomiting and getting grey eyes.

    He tells friends and they all decide not to drink anything. turns out that it saved his life. Someone at the resort tainted the cheap booze with methanol and it caused one of the other tourists to go completely blind.

    Lots of lads over the years saying they brought a friend out shooting and asked a farmer for permission. The farmer agrees and tells them they can have permission on the condition that in the first field at the end of the lane there is an old bull that is if no use anymore so if he kills the bull he can shoot the land.
    The friend of course was in the car/jeep and didn't hear of this condition.
    So when they get out with the guns and into the field he says to the friend "watch this" points the gun at the bull and shoots it dead ( thinking he will frighten the friend) but the friend says that's deadly and starts randomly shooting all the cows in the field.
    The amount of lads I heard this from is unreal and they all swear to god.

    :pac::pac::pac: Had heard this almost word for word when I was a teenager 20 years ago....

    There is a story in my husband’s family about one of his aunts going on a date with Phil Lynott. But I have to say, I believed it because of the high level of detail in the story and because it happened where she was from which wasn’t Dublin. But now I’m doubting it!

    Not friends but i've personally lost count how many times a taxi driver has told me they saw the black woman leave the buggy at the bus stop.

    Hilarious, especially when you consider the number of taxi drivers who told me 'they' all get free cars!

    Wasn't there a fella in the last EU elections who got one vote and was in the count centre with wife and kids?

    If you’re getting mugged at an atm and type your number backwards, it will alert the guards.
    Works wonders against very slow muggers.

    Neighbour of mine ( British guy) claims to have flatted with the Yorkshire ripper, he would have been about ten years old at the time.

    Same guy claims to have been blackmailed by corrupt Spanish cops after being involved in a traffic accident close to Gibraltar, had to live on scraps for three days afterwards as they left him with only his clothes

    Might be true on both counts, you never know for sure.

    A dreamer in the local boozer had a son that was away travelling all the time. He had no dough so would go to the cheapest places in africa to get more bang for his buck.

    One time he was hitch hiking in arse end of africa and a car pulls up and some aristocrat type asks him are you one of the sweeneys from bettystown! (he was!) real dr. Livingstone stuff.

    Another time the pilot got a heart attack n died, as the plane starts hurtling to the ground junior took over n saved the day!

    Some tribe also made him their head honcho/ deity that they worship n he gets to knock off any woman he wants.
    Etc, etc, etc!

    Neighbour is circa 52, the ripper was caught by police in January 1981

    Would have been closer to fifteen around the time of the killings, still an unlikely tale
