What did he just call you?
I was getting on a busy Luas one day, just having gotten off the train. There were 2 young girls, maybe 11 or 12, holding on to one of the poles near a door. Just as the Luas stopped two guys were pushing past the 2 young girls and one of them said to the other "Jaysus, that tram is wedged". One of the girls looked to the other with a shocked face and gasped, "What did he just call you?".

We're only the little people
On the news yesterday, a Fine Gael TD Dr. Rielly was speaking of Enda Kenny - (something along the lines of) "he's popular with the public when it matters- at election time!". Yeah, because the rest of the time doesnt matter does it?

Contraception Dublin Style
Was on a bus into town. Mother with two screaming kids and I assume their grandfather. Getting off the bus the old man says in a strong dublin accent "I'm not having any more grandchildren, I'm going on the pill". Cue lots of laughter including the driver.

Colour coded
I was in an irish pub in Prague once chatting to the Dub barman about living in Europe as I've been living in Holland for 20 years myself.
He was back in the fair city on holidays telling his grandda he's now living and working in the Czech republic.
His grandda says "Czech republic yeah?, jay's that's great.Czech republic wha!"...He comes in a little closer and asks in a hushed tone, "Tell me son,are they black over there?"

Take that!
At a Take-That concert in Croke Park, the queue for the ladies' toilet was enormous. Two women walked into the gents toilet instead. They were confronted by a surprised man who asked them " What are you two doing in here?" One of the ladies instantly retorted "What the f**K are YOU doing at a Take-That concert?!!"

Teasing the teacher
In school, we were doing a French test, a little pop quiz in groups of 5 or so with our French teacher, who is French. There are various questions on the test to do with France. She's reading out the postions that our teams came at the end of class. She calls out the top 3 teams "In 3rd place 'the winners' you finished with 10 points. In 2nd place with 12 points is team 'the legends'. Finnaly the winners of the test of the quiz on 15 points is 'Dan Gleballs' and 'Drew Peacock'.
Best thing about it was she didn'tget what she had just said.

Welfare Insanity
I went to visit my mother in the Psychiatric unit of Naas Hospital where she is staying for treatment of her lifelong Bipolar disorder. We were taking her out for the day, and also to collect her Disability Benefit. Just as we were about to leave I overheard her telling her (in)mates (!) that she had to go because she had to pick up her.....Instability Benefit.

Puncture repair kit
Was in the Hickeys fabric shop a while ago, looking for something or other when a girl ,about 20 walked by with her mother. They were chatting and she suddenly spots the brooches and pipes up "Oh my God, if I fell over in one of those it would puncture my boob!"
Mother looked mortified!

Polite Parents
While in HMV in the Square Tallaght, I noticed a young little fella no more than 3yrs old kicking up a fuss in his buggy. His mother was at the counter trying to pay, when the little lad threw a toy out of his buggy. On seeing this I went over, picked up the toy and handed it back to him. His mother was very grateful and said "Say thank you Jamie". As quick as quick as you like the little guy says with a grin "Thank you Jamie". All I could do was laugh!!
