Ireland - a nation of farters.

bob123456

reading a blog by an American woman in Ireland she says we're a nation of farters.
I don't think she's the first person to notice this, there was a lot of threads on this after the smoking ban came in.
I agree with her on this and would even say that Irish people have bad hygiene in general - not flossing or showering every day.

"Let's talk about farts.

When I first got to Ireland, the first couple of pubs I walked into, my first thought was, "Yeesh! Yikes! It kinda smells like farts in here!" I thought it was a coincidence, like maybe it just happened that the few places I went into happened to have plumbing problems.

However, now that I've been here over three months, I can say, *WITH CONFIDENCE* that Ireland has a farting issue. It's not the plumbing. People let their business out here all over the place. In the pub, as the night progresses, it just gets stronger. And it's not just the pubs. Today in the movie theater, before the movie started, you could hear someone farting. And then by the time the film was over, you could smell the smell of gas so strong, we couldn't wait to get the hell out of there

PEOPLE IN IRELAND LOVE TO FART. There, I've said it."

Maybe the bloke that was with her was a farter!!

Do Americans not fart? That might explain why lots of them are obese when they don't release all this free air.

i would agree somewhat but only to the weekend after the smoking ban, we went into a pub/nightclub and the smell of BO and farts was discusting, come the following week we were overpowered by the smell of lynx brands.

Maybe it was a typo, farmers, farters... easy mistake to make. It would also explain the hygiene issues she experienced, just sayin.

Apparently its customary in other parts of the world to go outside or to the bathroom when you wish to pass gas. In case of emergency, one can also lieu to force it back up into their colon for a short period of time until an opportunity to release the toxin safely into the atmosphere presents itself.

News to me.

But in Ireland it's customary to let the wind blow free, wherever you may be.

It was them who came up with this bloody advert! Now if you don't mind, I have to go pass some gas outside!

It's an innocent breeze that comes from the heart and ignorant people call it a fart

There's nothing wrong with letting rip a good auld fart. She's obviously never been dutch ovened.

If you hold in your farts you'll spontaneously combust.

Those people who she said were farting in the pub are just trying to prevent themselves from having a horrible combustion death.

I was in the Rathmines Inn last night and had taken on a good cargo of Guinness.There was a table full of skittish ladies nearby and just as I quaffed my 8th pint, I unloaded a particularly heavy spluttery watery fart which,I'm ashamed to say, stopped all conversation dead.

One of the ladies stood up and ripped out a phhhifter that could be cut up and served hot.!!!!

The whole episode finished with a round of applause.

That American was right.

At least were not fat and unintelligent

Speak for yourself.

Anyway, I blame the cabbage and cornflakes.

There may be mention of a Fart Tax in the Finance Bill, or possibly the next Budget.

Think about it ... it will affect everyone, generate lots of revenue and have a positive impact on the environment.

Pesky Greens and their imaginative Carbon solutions.

Something like 10c for every cubic litre of fart gas. Of course, we'll all have to have little gasometers installed in our cax.

Au contraire Kelle,was ambling down Dawson St the other day and got a fairly severe cramp, and a fair auld sting in the lower gut. Had to nip into Cafe en Seine and back out a "loose one" in the cludgie.

A good walk is your only man if you are a bit bound, but always make sure you are close to dropping area.

Thanks for your concern.

Beer farts smell way worse than the guinness farts...i know!!

Love the smell of my own farts, farting just makes me laugh! And then when someone else laughs its even funnier!
