DiveController Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Conclusion may be flawed: surely to stop the hand from slipping and spilling any adjacent pints of Guinness! (I can just imagine some of the replies now...... , like this poor guy whose hand has slipped) 1 Quote
GSR 800 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 So in conclusion it has the same function as one of these. It all makes sense now. 2 1 Quote

Broithe Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 The website of the unfortunately named Pen Island organisation, does make it look like a rather weird theme park. http://www.penisland.net/ 1 2 Quote
Broithe Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 This theme park actually exists - I understand that you can avail of a 10% discount by pronouncing the code-word "Vehicle" 'correctly'... https://www.gardaland.it/en/ 1 1 Quote

It turns out that he mispelled, and had actually reserved 'fourhoursemen.com' instead! 2 Quote

You can dress up as a thief and rob all the houses. That's a boring one, as the Gardaí don't arrive. Or you can rob cars and joyride, and they'll appear and say "Is this your vaaa-HIKKLE, sir?" Or you can dress up as a Garda, and have coffee in a replica Blarney Woollen Mills cafe! Since it's in Italy you have to wave your arms every time you speak. 3 hours ago, PorkyP said: Sounds like a gay bar in Dublin or something.....

The veteran politician Dick Spring might have been a dangerous person to sit beside. Speaking of dicks, the father of a family friend was known as Richard Taite, but better known as Dick taite. He was apparently quite an unpleasant man to be around which certainly didn't help matters and allowed the jokes to fester One can only imagine some parents were definitely having a laugh when they named their kids. 2 Quote
PorkyP Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Gardaland is probably just some strip joint,( for some reason folks seem to like strippers dressed as police) Can't say I much relish the idea of it.. thinkin of some of the guards I've seen.. 2 Quote
jhb171achill Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 You shouldn’t pay to go into dodgy places like that. They’ll shaft you. 1 Quote
