    all i am saying is that you cannot overhear a conversation you are actually involved in

    if something is broadcast to you... you are not overhearing

    ill spare you the definition of pedantic

    I was only gowling with you.


    I didnt hear this meself but one of the lads was telling me.

    some fella years ago was sent down to the end of bunkers hill to dig a hole for something or other. Some corporation worker. Anyways he was down there fora few hours chatting away and got a bit of work done.
    Eventually his boss/ manager calls down to him and see's a tiny hole in the ground.
    Ah jaysus man, what where you doing, sure that hole is tiny.
    Chap turns around to him and tells him, sure thats all that was in it.

    sat at a wrestling event (says something for the intelligence of the characters involved)

    not me though i was on a journalistic fact finding mission like louis theroux

    couple of seats across is a guy with his son (about 8 maybe) when this conversation unfolds


    son
    were you alive in viking times dad

    dad
    ......... that.... is the stupidest question.... i have ever heard


    the disdain dripping from the dads voice has stayed with me to this day

    When I was out in town Saturday night I overheard this lad in the jacks talking to the guy taking a piss beside him.

    See that guy over there? Yeah that fella, see him? He's got a neck as hard as a jockey's bollix.

    Apparently this is a big Waterford saying, but I've never heard it before. Either way I thought that was brilliant.

    Quick story from my 21st, we had a DJ down from Belfast. Uncle's mate and loved the same music as me, old stuff basically.He was instructed to play classic rock, 80's music and only go as far as 1996 if he had to. He was absolutely delighted. He was trying to find The Specials, and the following occured:
    Cousin: "Will you play Rhianna?"
    DJ: "Don't have it."
    Cousin's friend: "Do you have any Beyonce?"
    DJ: "Uh nope."
    Cousin: "Well what DO you have!?"
    DJ: "Anything thats not shit."

    Second-hand "overheard" story: (the musician told me)

    A one-man band is playing to little or nobody in a certain pub in town. A young wan wanders up and says, "Play the Lisa Brown song"

    Musician: The what?
    Young wan: The Lisa Brown song!
    Musician: (getting vexed) The what song?
    Young wan: You know, the Lisa Brown song!
    Musician: (getting mad) Sorry love, I don't know what you're on about.
    Young wan: You do, you know it. It's "All the Lisa Brown, the Lisa Brown, and the sky is grey..."

    was at a hotel having a meal at night when i heard the couple on the next table ordering their food

    the waitress asked if they were going to be having any of the spa treatments the hotel provide

    the woman says she is having some aromatherapy or something like that and the bloke says quite loudly

    im having my hot rocks massaged

    i presume he meant a hot rocks massage.

    pretty much everyone around were pissing themselves laughing and the poor waitress had to leave because she was laughing so much

    I'm originally from Tipperary, but I've been living down here the last 4 years, and I'm telling you 60 miles never felt so long when I first came across these words:

    Me: "....no seriously, my lack what?"

    Me: "Can someone please tell me what a fúcking blaa is?"

    Sometimes I forget my Tipp accent (in a building of 600 Deise, anyone would) and when I addressed my brother as "well boooy" when he called in one day, all I got was an indignant "Don't ever say that again."

    One of me mates I know through biking was down here for a session a few years back.
    He's from enfield up in meath I think it is. Anyways. He went down to revolution with a few of the lads. Couldn't really understand the Waterford accent but anyways. Met some young one in revolutions and got chatting to her. After about 15 minutes of talking to her he just turned around and said to her. I can't understand a fooking word tour saying so could you stop talking and let me ride ya.
    Cue two minutes later and poor PJ has a bouncer each side of him carrying him outta the place.

    Another one of the lads down that night went over to whispers.
    Went in and got a dance of one of the strippers. She put her woohoo close enough to his face during the dance. After the dance was finished he was talking to another stripper and told her that the one he got a dance off of could do with an ould baby wipe down below because she was mank.
    Half an hour later he got a dance off her again. Took a big sniff and told her that was better
