Girls can't avoid gossip!!!
On train from Limerick Junction to Dublin. I sat in the spare seat surrounded by 3 chatty girls ...I was reading paper and after about 20 mins they start talking about a friend of theirs who was nuts about a guy etc blah blah blah...this sounded familiar so after a while my name was mentioned and they were going on about me a bit ...as I hadn't called her in a while I kept listening ..this went on for an hour or so ... I didn't have the heart to put down the paper and introduce myself !!! just in case I was stuck for a port at any stage!!!

The Inviting Irish Economy
As a mate and I were coming through the green channel at customs in Dublin airport on Friday, there was an Indian looking guy being questioned by 2 customs officers. Officer no#1 was standing infront of the blokes luggage trolley and the no#2 was standing to his side with a large grin on his face, just as we walked by I heard oficer no#1 ask for obviously a second time in a raised exasperated voice: "Youre Coming HERE for Un-employment?"
Me and my mate pissed ourselves laughing and got an approving nod from cutoms fella no#2. Great stuff!!!

Knob seeking lady
I work in a hardware store, and this sweet old lady walked in asking for a particular type of door knobs. Obligingly, we checked our computers and said, "Really sorry, but we don't have them in stock today. We're waiting on an order to come in, and that's probably going to be here next week."
She hmmed and hawwed for a bit, explaining that she needed to get a carpenter in specially to fit them for her, then added the immortal words,
"You know how difficult it is to get a man like that to come!"

Better be sure of your directions!
A very drunk twentyish dub around Christ Church.. falling around and has no idea where he is.
He stops some passers by and says "Dey yis know where the Ushers Quay is?"
To which the passers by just look at him blankly and just want to be out of there.
So he stumbles closer to them and shouts.. "DEY YIS KNOW WHERE USHERS QUAY IS.. THE USHERS QUAY.. USHERS QUAY, DEY YIS KNOW WHERE IT IS!?"
So a girl points in the direction of the quays to which he shouts and points at her..
"ARE YOU SURE ITS THAT WAY.. YA BETTER BE SURE.. ALRIGHT??"

Trying to impress...
I remember a report on the RTE TV news a couple of years ago. Something controversial had happened to a prominent politician and a reporter was despatched to Grafton Street in Dublin to ask the views of passers-by on the incident.
One young man was asked for his opinion about the politician. He replied: "Yeah, his position is unintenable."
