    So there I was tonight, outside vicar street waiting for me mates to turn up. We were going inside to see the Tommy Tiernan gig.

    I had just been saying to me mate how all these people were dressed up to the nines, considering all the lights will be off and nobody will be able to see them.

    Me, I was wearing my big grey adidas hoodie tracksuit and me white reeboks. A classy look.

    So, next thing a very posh looking lady approached me. Her boyfriend cowered sheepishly behind her. She looked nervously at me, and said "er, sorry.....how much are you buying tickets for?".

    :eek:

    "nah love, I just look like a tout. I'm going ino the gig like everyone else".

    Disgusted, I was. Especially as loads of people saw the incident and were all breaking their balls laughing.

    I'll never live this down :p

    I'll be wearing a 3 piece suit next time I go out.

    Was it a good show? i am going next week and have not got a clue what he is like?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    Oh yeah, Sorry! Was he any good? :D

    I got his last dvd for Christmas. Didn't think much of it. Rest are great though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,778 ✭✭✭tallaght01


    A) yes i was wearing a tarcksuit. It's all about the comfort. :D

    B) It's a great show. But WHY do people try and heckle him? Happened a few times tonight. There can be no outcome other than you looking like a sap!

    I went to see Des Bishop last year and it was unreal the amount of people who heckled him..............he stopped the show till they were taken out, they were ruining the show for the rest of us.

    Oh that's just wrong. :(

    That'd be more people in tracksuits heckling him! The posh people wouldn't dare, Whatever would the neighbours think if they heard about it! :eek: :D

    At least it gave you something to laugh about anyway!

    Can't fault that logic.:)
    Comfort >> fashion
    Afterall something that's comfortable today is probably still going to be comfortable next week, instead of not being comfortable again until some celeb starts wearing similar items again.

    Perhaps it was just that you were standing around outside, looking around for your mates (perhaps they mistook it for furtively looking around in case someone comes to tell you to clear off), that made them think you might be a tout and had nothing to do with your outfit?

    I'm pretty sure this is an MCD thing therefore you NEED to remove this NOW!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,324 ✭✭✭✭Cathmandooo


    I saw that show there a week or so ago, twas good! and yes I hate the hecklers too, eejits

    Your tracksuit thing reminded me of 'overheard in dublin' - An American couple on O'Connell Street were looking for directions and someone overheard the lady say 'why don't we ask that athelete over there' while looking at a guy in a tracksuit :D

    I don't think he is.

    edit: just checked the MCD site and the gob****e isn't on it so the thread should be fine bar the fact that he is crap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Ah deadly then... For some reason I thought Ticketmaster = mcd, but then again I am rather thick ;)

    Guess where I'm heading tonight with my lady then? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Wait... did you actually refer to woman as 'love'?

    That's pretty horrific... I hate when people call me that...

    All that was needed to round your evening off would have been the announcement "is there a doctor in the house?", you duly present yourself in your gangsta get up and the next announcement is "is there a real doctor in the house?". :p

    I was once walking down grafton street with me mate. Both in our tracksuits with our post-night-out heads on us.

    This oul one walks up to us and asks us to do a market research survey on tea or something. I would always just say no thanks. But me mate agreed.

    She was lovin his chat about how he drives his white hiace all around the country fixing the cash registers in betting shops. Gave her loads of banter about how he's emminently qualified, coz he's tasted tea in every bookies in Ireland.

    Then she turns to me. "What age are u?"

    "I'm 30"

    "What do you do for a living"

    "I'm a doctor"

    "No, but seriously"

    "I am"

    "Look, if you're not going to take this seriously..."

    "I AM taking it seriously"

    "OK, so what do you work at?"

    "A doctor"

    "I just don't understand how your friend can be so nice, and you can be such a messer. It was just a simple question. You're just embarrassed becuase yo're probably unemployed"

    *lady storms off with her clipboard muttering to herself*

    I mean I don't look THAT bad. I think :p

    Did you mean to put this in your blog and post here in error? Or do you think posting meaningless blog type thoughts here rather then After Hours would endear you to women on the interweb?( It is that obvious btw) I fail to understand what you post is about?

    It may just be me but do you want advice on a three piece suit?

    Oh, but tallaght, you had us with the fact that you save sick, tiny ickle babies. Babies! *swoon*

    Now, to complete the fantasy how about you invest in an all black tracksuit, some abseiling gear and a lorry load of cadbury's milk tray. You've got enough time before you leave for the southern hemisphere (*sob*) to get around to all the ladies of the lounges' houses with boxes of chocolates.
