World War One Grenade Stash in Ballsbridge

526600866sQwBGY fs

If you ever needed proof that those pesky Dublin southsiders were rooting for aul Adolf, then this is it. A builder has unrooted a stash of WW1 grenades while rooting around, no doubt looking for the tea caddy or the stash of Club Milks.

“I was just digging the foundations and I went down to check the level of the foundations and I just saw them there,’ he said.

‘They looked like pineapples. They were just lying around but the army came in and found more, 19 in total seemingly.

‘Some of them had holes through them, so I just shouted to the other workers to get back,’ he said.

All covered in the Fas Safe Pass course no doubt, it’s between Manual handling lecture and how to turn up four hours late after the decided time.

So now that we’ve discovered that there may be a hidden population of Nazi’s in Ballsbridge what will we do? Not much considering that they all seem to be settled in with high paid jobs in Rte…

What was that 118? Prison Sentence 118?

Telephone9

We’ve all been subjected to ‘hello 11811 Mourrrgrett speaking…’, and safe to say you wouldn’t go out of your way to ring them unless you were actually needed some sort of urgent medical treatment, or if you needed a chinese delivery in a very drunken haze. A middle aged man in Japan has been thrown in the clink for placing 10,000 calls (yes, 4 zeros!) to directory assistance. Why? Becuase he liked when the operators gave out to him!

“I would go into ecstasy when a lady scolded me,” he was quoted as saying by Jiji Press.

Telephone operators – who in Japan are almost always women – nicknamed him the “don’t-hang-up-man”.

His calls usually came late and sometimes exceeded 200 times a night, Jiji Press said.

Now there’s a man with dedication! I mean if this guy had sat down with a careers guidance person earlier he could’ve made it big in telecommunications! They certainly could do with someone like this over in UPC where they seem to be alergic to answering the god damn telephone!

Butlins it ain’t!

German perverts eh i mean nudists will be in good company with the launch of a new nudist friendly holiday which starts on the plane! The 55 people will be able to decloth as soon as they board the chartered plane and let all their jollies hang out till their hearts content.

The trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom is planned for 5 July and will cost €499.

‘I don’t want people to get the wrong idea. It’s not that we’re starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that.’

But i’m guessing it would be awkward enough situation in an emergency situation like, say a crash landing or an emergency exit? 55 nekkid, and lets face it wrinkled and sagging bodies sliding down a chute isn’t the nicest thing to imagine, espcially if your one of the firemen having to catch them at the bottom!

I wonder if they will sell hot drinks on board, spillages would be a bitch :-o

A bird in the eh mouth is eh scummy

They do say that when a bird shits on you it’s good luck, but what about when a bird shits in your mouth, in my book your a knob for standing there long enough…

ah wait he’s american…

Daddy Warbucks is well and truely dead!


Not a lot scares me on the t’internet these days but when i read about this actual case of real life fuck-up-ary it actually made me shudder!

A woman travels to New York with her young kids but falls ill and is admitted to hospital with pneumonia but her kids were not allowed stay at the hospital but instead, in fine American hospitality turfed into an orphanage!

Social workers took them to a municipal orphanage in downtown Manhattan, where they were separated, strip-searched and questioned before being kept under lock and key for the next 30 hours.

The two sisters were made to shower in front of security staff and told to fill out a two-page form with questions including: “Have you ever been the victim of rape?” and “Do you have homicidal tendencies?”

One question asked “are you in a street gang?” to which Gemma replied: “I’m a member of Appledore library.”

But wait, there’s more! The mother checks herself out of the hospital to locate the daughters and tracks them down (in her hospital pyjamas no less) and leaves the country and wait for it, is currently under investigation from the American authorities for child neglect!

Since returning home, Bray has received a letter from the US Administration for Children and Families, notifying her that, because the children were admitted to the orphanage, she is now “under investigation.”

If i was arsed i would burn an American flag in their honour…

bold, bold o2


Thousands of people on the east coast today have been plagued by a black spot in the o2 coverage. A life without SMS and “yeah…i’m on a bus…”??? where would we be!

O2 said that a fault on a mast on Three Rock mountain in Dublin means customers in the south Dublin and Wicklow areas are experiencing a disruption to coverage.

The company says efforts to rectify the fault are being hampered by strong winds at the site of the mast, which are posing a health and safety risk.

I would suggest that people are in risk of actually having a life once they realised they couldn’t use their mobile, maybe it prompted people to pick up a book, or knock around to someone for a REAL conversation, ya know the ones that don’t end in ‘CU L8R’, ones where people made people tea and actually spoke proper (eh) – and they could always resort to singing…

So i stick out my chin, and grin and saaaaaayyyyy

thank fuck i’m on vondafone, o2 sucks! :)

Mail Order Driving Licence!


It smells to high heaven but seemingly you can obtain a fully legal drivers licence through a website.

Rhe website asks customers to send a photograph, a signature, a copy of a current driving licence or passport and a €400 fee.

Which in all fairness isn’t a bad price if you calculate in instant savings on Car Insurance, driving lessons and infact sitting the test! At first look the site looks well dodgy and then you click on the testimonials and then it comes apparant..

Simon Edge

Simon Edge – I am getting married this year and I know it is going to sound funny but I owe it you people. My fiance lives 40 miles from where I live she works for the same company I do, I would never of got the job if it wasn´t for my driving licence. I work for a courier company and she works in the office as a secretary. Ace!

A nice touch i feel with the ‘blacking out’ of the eyes, im sure no one will recognise “Simon Edge” at all you faker baker! You look like a child porn peddler of the highest order! Why would anyone live 40 miles from their job?!

Don’t ya know someone has to ruin the party though…

The Consumers Association has warned the public against purchasing one of these licences.

The association’s Chief Executive, Dermot Jewell, said the legality of these licences were questionable.

bah humbug…we should give everyone free licences, surely that would solve the problem on the roads and waiting times for driving tests? surely ? 1970’s eh?

Get your Licence

Man sentenced for making vodka ‘for the lads’


And you might be inclined to believe the 62 year old man too untill you realise he had enough for 5000 bottles!

Revenue officials also found two industrial bulk containers, one full of 1,000 litres of neutral alcohol – 94.5% proof.

There was also a forklift, a machine for resealing bottle caps and a machine for making the caps.

Far cry from the old man you can imagine, skin on his fingers all but worn away, wearing tweed, 87% blind in both eyes huddled in a shed out the back arse of Connemara sampling his latest ‘batch’ of moonshine.

A forklift!

The haul would’ve come to the value of 66k and the judge saw the man as just the ‘bottle washer’ and let him off (in my opinion) with a 2 years suspended sentence! I really am in the wrong job…

One in four suffers workplace bullying stress

Was shocked to hear this little gem! I am the only male in the office at my grade, there or there abouts and also the youngest in the office. So by their reasoning I would be bullying the people who work below me? Or am I singled out and bullied due to my age?

What about the office who conducted the survey in the Samaritans? Does the same apply? Are 1 in 4 Samaritans bullied?

The study of 2,100 UK workers and 500 from Ireland found that managers, clients and customers were most responsible for the bullying, with younger staff the most vulnerable.

AHHH only 500 people surveyed in Ireland! Pretty sensationalistic of them! I mean if I talked to ten people and asked them do they lead a healthy lifestyle and if only 4 of them said they did could I be expected to run a headline saying that 60% of Irish people are obese and fat? I probably wouldn’t be wrong though . . . probably!
