    Gotham Pizzeria (Stillorgan and Sth Anne St Dublin) do a pizza called the Little Italy which contains "Bacon and spring onion, baby roast potato, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil pesto"
    It is an absolutely gorgeous pizza!

    Reminds me of a story I heard a few years ago, US Navy ship arrives in an Italian port, sailors run off on shore leave.
    One guy runs back and shouts "guess what! They sell pizza here!"

    I really want that to be true because it panders to all my prejudices.

    Sure, it would've made sense if I knew what a junior B was beforehand. I initially thought it had something to do with marking the junior cert and corporal punishment :o

    Mark in a game - cover the opponent. Defend against a particular player.
    Line out - start the game.

    Junior refers to the grade of play, not age. GAA = Senior, Intermediate, Junior A, Junior B, etc.

    Junior B (also affectionately known as the Junior Bellies) can be a combination of young lads on the way up, auld lads on the way down and other assorted player types.

    It was a reference to the 9 guys falling off the lorry in the town over the weekend celebrating their county win.

    You don't want to get the joke. There's a video going around of about 8 people falling 10ft to the ground from a trailer. They were celebrating Enniskerry winning a Junior B cup. The video I saw isn't an easy watch.

    There are three videos doing the rounds on whatsapp that I saw (probably a lot more). The one directly at the back of the bus is f**king horrible, thankfully they are all okay - no serious injuries or head injuries etc.

    Compared to what they could have had, certainly none of them can be said to have serious injuries.

    You would expect one or two "life changing" injuries from that, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

    When your a moderator or admin you get to annoy the people who regularly read and post in a thread by messing around trying to be funny.

    I'm not sure what's the funniest, the idea of the gadget, or the warning label!

    It's not a wireless seatbelt, it's a clip to stop the seatblt alarm.
    Your photo is potato quality, so hard to read. But the full warning label says;

    It's presumably to people who need to carry objects on the seat regularly. hense the warning. I'm not sure why you'd be giving it to anyone, pretty crap present.

    If the object is big enough to trigger the seat sensor, it should be restrained, otherwise it becomes a liability when going around corners, etc. and missile in the event of a collision.

    I'm not suggesting it's a good idea, i'm explaining what it used for.

    Personally, I don;t think restraining random obejects with seatbelts is safe either. If it's heavy enough to set off the sensor it should be on the floor in the back or in the boot, depending on the object.

    Noticed it straight off I reckon - as hadn't been on the thread. Do I get the prize for spotting it ;)

    Anyways I don't get it tbh. Was it not tabnabs who suggested the original version? :confused:

    It does if you use the words to lunch as a verb as in 'I lunched with Charlize Theron on Thursday'.

    Re: the safety belt thing, some people do get exemptions - if you have a medical reason not to be wearing one (for instance, people with a pacemaker/defibrillator installed and a medical cert to prove that they'd be at risk from wearing a safety belt), then you can safely use one of those.

    Erm? But why the change from the original poll result - I dont believe there was any mass confusion tbh..

    Anyway 'lunch' still doesn't make much sense. But hey them a lot of stuff hereabouts might be like that!

    Also my friend had to use one when her dog was in the car. He had his own seatbelt attached to his harness of course but there's still enough freedom of movement that he could move to the next seat and set off the alarm.

    It makes as much sense as before. One verb was swapped for another. That is all. I don't get what you don't get. Don't mean this in a polemic way, I really don't understand.
