    Tonight watching crimecall and feeling very unsafe (as ya do) i set the alarm and sat down , heard a noise outside... looked out and it was a cat who knocked my window box.

    As i looked out i noticed the drug dealer across the road had his curtains wide open and i could see his tv on, and he was watching crimecall. Tbh i found that pretty funny , this guy does deals from his house, and theres been loads of raids by the police there,and he been arrested a lot, and on a few occasions iv seen him just hand drugs to people outside my wall.... And he is watching crimecall.

    I only watch crimecall to see is their anyone on it i know ... So whats his excuse? :-) ok may not be irony to you but to be it is:-)

    At work, I saw a page on an exam paper with "This page is intentionally blank" typed on it.

    I don't really get irony.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I saw yer man from the Bee Gees on 'Live with Jools Holland' earlier this evening.

    Which is ironic, seeing as he's dead.

    When it rained on my wedding day.

    Or get this: One time, I got a free ride...that I'd already paid for!

    It's an unwritten rule that if someone mentions irony, someone else will quote an Alanis Morrisette song & someone else will quote from an Ed Byrne routine.

    I'd say he was looking out for himself or one of his colleagues. OR perhaps he was doing some research to see if there was a gap in the market.

    He's just trying to make a living, don't be so down on him

    A guy I was talking to yesterday told me I didn't understand irony.

    I found that ironic, because I was on a bus at the time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭cesc77


    So,if you didnt call the cops knowing that he was a dealer and he didnt see you not calling the cops when he was watching deal or no deal does that even out the irony...

    Head fcking hurts with double negatives.:confused:


    THE FCUKING IRONY IS YOU NOT REPORTING WHAT YOU KNOW

    and the possible outcome

    That is ironic, given that we have a perception that all chinese people look alike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,178 ✭✭✭Wompa1


    I didn't witness this in person. Just thought it was pretty f'kin funny.



    Much better quality. You can see the guys wife giving the thumbs up to the player.

    Perception is reality.Right or wrong.


    Irony is slightly different

    At a fight night there a couple of weeks ago, each fighter had selected some enterance music to walk out to the ring to.
    The first fighter walked out to Snap's "I got the power", she was halfway to the ring when there was a power failure.

    I don't really get irony.

    It means consisting entirely or partly of Iron.

    Or to taste of iron or rust. "Does this water taste irony to you?"
