Interesting thing i noticed on the way home..

Dun laoire · 25-01-2008 11:06AM #1

from work yesterday.

If you sit on a train from Bray on a winters evening (so it will be dark) going in a northern direction but facing south and sitting on the right hand side of the train you will notice when you get to Glenageary the lights from inside the train shine from the window like a mirror effect which block the signposts in Glenageary train station. So unless you know it's Glenageary you might miss your stop. Now other factors that come into it could be your posture and height. I'm 6'0'' or 6'2'' with mbt's on. I was sitting firmly upright (i sit like that when i'm happy and as it so happened i was happy yesterday). So to all you people out there that are 6'0'' happy and sitting upright on the dart. I would reccomend you look left to check the station you are at.

Anything interesting to tell me?

On my way home from work on a dark wet day there're usually puddles about. Now from a distance light will reflect off the puddles, but when you get closer they disappear because there is no overhead light.
So the task is to remember where they are. If you mess up you get wet feet.

And that's only one part of the epic adventure.

Thats about as interesting as the mating habits of a gnat.

Kur4mA · 25-01-2008 11:47AM

Hmm, interesting things on the way home eh? My nose is usually quite interesting on the way home. I often find treasures in there.

25-01-2008 11:47AM

Watching the mating habits of a pair of clumsly hedgehogs would be more entertaining!

I beg to differ. I'm sure it's well documented on the internet how gnats mate. sure just type in google "I want to know how gnats mate" and i'm sure you'l get all the answers you need. Anyway the question is who would want that kind of infop anyway. Thats just silly gracehopper. The info i passed on is unique.

Your imitation of a train is awful. From Bray to Shankill it's more like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I find sittin on the roof of the train is more fun, but bridges are dodgy

I am barred from using trains and other public transport but thanks for the information anyhow.

chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a

by any chance were you smoking a big fat doob DL?

Don1 · 25-01-2008 01:10PM

I noticed that the vast majority of Irish motorists can't dip their lights on time. After spending the day at a conputer and/or out on the manufacturing floor gettin blinded by welders my eyes tend to be sore in the evenings.

Coming to a corner and seeing a car's lights coming, I dip before he comes around the bend. The odd time they will also dip, but for the most part they wait until you are facing each other and their lights are blinding the bejaysis out of you before they dip.

I started getting peeved at this and if they didn't seem to be goin to dip I'd flash my heads as a warning that I was there (just in case I'd dipped mine before they spotted me) but again, most people wait until they can see the inside of your car fully illuminated that they eventually dip.

Now, completely irate I find myself blinding late dippers as they are about to pass me. I know this is highly irresponsible and probably dangerous, but if you are that bloody slow in operating a simple secondary control you shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel. :mad::mad::mad:

jester77 · 25-01-2008 01:17PM

When you are sitting on the train and it's dark out and you see the reflection of the opposite window in yours. From looking at the reflection it gives you the impression that you are travelling in the opposite direction and it **** with your head.

I just noticed a bit of lint on my jumper. I picked the lint off and and now there is no lint on my jumper.

My mate just choked on a peice of lint that landed on his coke.

Kur4mA · 25-01-2008 01:36PM

lint is gas craic.

ejmaztec · 25-01-2008 01:37PM

When it's dark, and I stand next to the window in my living room, I see a tv set in the garden, It's identical to the one in the living room, even tuned to the same channel. When I go outside to see what's going on, I find that there is no tv in the garden. Is somebody playing a trick on me?

The Real B-man · 25-01-2008 01:39PM

Interesting deep stuff here...

jdivision · 25-01-2008 01:53PM

When it's dark I see dead people

If I stood on the sill on the inside of my bedroom window I would fall a shorter distance than if I stood on the sill on the outside.

mookishboy · 25-01-2008 02:08PM

i have lint in my belly button

jebuz · 25-01-2008 02:09PM

When I'm going home from work at 6 everyday, everybody else seems to be too!! it's wierd
I guess that would explain the large volume of car shaped objects on the road

I have a nasty looking wound on my hand and it keeps oozing puss onto visa letters which I hastily smudge by dabbing at it with my sleeve...

18AD · 25-01-2008 02:47PM

If you look at a monitor, one of the large ones, not a plasma screen one, and pass your hand infront of it, it produces a strobe effect.

My, is work boring...

What are "MBT's" and are they only sold on the southside???

That would makes sense. They are €250 a pair. Whats the point selling them up that way

You should write a blog OP, and condense all your idea's in one place so I can more easily avoid reading them
