Romeo and Juliet
I was sitting in pavilions shopping center one day when I see a bunch of d4 girls with 'Miss Princess' sashes going across the chests.
They glance over at a bunch of lads sitting outside Zumo talking.
They glance at one another and smile and giggle.
They walk by again with still no attention from the lads.
Eventually they sit opposite the lads with still no response.
Finally in a desperate attempt one gets up and sits beside one just as one of the lads gets up and walks off, and as soon as the girl goes to sit beside yer man he gets up and follows his mate.
The other girls notice this and cannot believe it and begin to laugh.
The lad walking away hears the commotion and cops on to whats happening.
Instead of sparing the poor girl any more embarrassment he points and laughs at her.

Dublin's Future
I was walking through the liberties with a little 3 year old I was minding. She had no bugey with her and half way to where we were going she sat down on the side of the road, with her hands on her face. When I asked her what she was doing she looked up at me and said "Sitting" and I asked why? She replied: "Cause Im f**kin Bolloxed"
Now thats Dublin

ABC.....
The little boy I babysit started school this September and has been finding it difficult. He told me his teacher had given him a special sheet with the alphabet written on it for him to practise at home. Wanting to be positive, I told him that was good. Quick as a flash, he replied" No it isn't, it means I'm really shite at my Letterland."

Sore Finger ???
We used to live in England and often went to a local Chinese run take away on a Friday evening. On my first time there I ordered fish and chips and waited a few minutes for my order to be prepared. After the few minutes had passed the lady behind the counter was wrapping my food and said to me "sore finger?" I looked at her puzzled and said "pardon". Again she said "sore finger". She could see I was still at a loss to understand so she held up the salt shaker and the bottle of vinegar and said again "sore" (salt) "finger" (vinegar).

Customer service
Months ago when the new chip and pin was introduced it took some customers and staff a while to get used to it. Usually we would take their card, put it in the machine and ask them " just put your pin number in there for me please". It was a mad busy day and my very tired manager (lady) asked some bloke to "just put your pin in me please"

Shovels...
In work building a wall, Cork lad was emptying out a cement mixer into a wheelbarrow and was really smacking the top of the mixer with a shovel to get the last bits of mix out. Boss walks over and shouts, telling him not to do that because he would damage the bearings. Cork chap looks up confused and shouts (Heavy Cork accent)
"Sure tis no bearings in a shovel boy" and smacks the mixer again. Didn't go down too well.
