    Irony is something I can't get my head around.

    For example is it ironic that you can't spell "unemployed" without money?

    But then, you also can't spell it without dole so maybe that counteracts the irony.

    That's not irony, that's the consequence of having only 26 letters in the alphabet.

    Well, it looks like the cat burglar was caught by the very person who was trying to catch him.

    How ironic.

    It's ironic that your username is Thanks Whore, considering the lack of thanks you get.

    It'd be ironic that your username is "AAAAAAAHHH" if you were a librarian

    i guess i better come clean. The truth is I actually do know what irony means i just spent ages trying to think of a thread that would get me loads of thanks becuase of how witty it was. so far i've got one thank in this thread but it was because of another witty comment i made, not the first post.

    Well this is going well.
    Everyone else think this is going well?
    I see no reason to lock this and the OP seems pretty legit to me.

    My mate told me that I just don't understand irony.

    Which was ironic because we were at a bus stop at the time.*
