Miss. Cork wannabe gets nasty! |
|
This is not so much funny as it is a little shocking...
This year I was approached to enter the "Miss.Cork" competition.
I was obviously delighted and spent weeks getting ready. I trawled town looking for the perfect dress and bikini etc. Myself and my mum were so so excited and finally the bog day rolled around. I had my hair done and all the jazz and all my family bought tickets (e20). Back stage, nerves were high and every girl had her fingers crossed for a shot at the title. All the girls looked gorgeous but I had my favourites.One being the girl who eventually won, who was an absolute lady and was so lovely to everyone. As I was getting changed into my final dress I was talking to another blonde who I knew worked for Assets and was competing. "I'm so nervous, I would looove to win this so much but it probably isn't gonna happen," I said out of nerves. At this the blonde turned around and goes,"Thats probably true, an Assets model ALWAYS wins this!" Then she just smirked, looked me up and down like I was a piece of s$%* and walked off. I was so close to crying at this comment because even if she DID think I didn't have a shot, she could have been nice about it. Anyway I sucked it up and in the end, Aisling,(the girl ALL the girls wanted to win) won Miss. Cork. The other blonde didn't and afterwards grabbed her stuff and stormed out. Karma people.....KARMA! |

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?... |
|
| Sitting out in the back garden with my Mam during the good weather we were looking up at all the planes heading off in different directions. One plane (obviously flying at a lower altitude than the others) seemed to be going by faster than the others in the sky. Serious as anything, blocking the sun from her eyes with her hand, my Mam turns to myself and my Dad and says.... "Jesus will you look at that one, its flying" |

Don't let this guy paint your house |
|
(Carthy) A buddy of mine was on about his folks painting the house one time.
Another one of the lads asks him what type of paint it was.
He replied "can't remember the name but it's the paint from the commercial with the Durex dog" |

2 pints or not 2 pints? |
|
In Cork for a weekend, meself and me mate were in a pub off Patrick St, having a chat to the effect that if you asked for "2 pints" in Cork, you'd get Murphy's rather then Guinness. So we decided to ask the barman what he'd give us if we asked for just 2 pints. He said "I'd give you Guinness". We said we thought we'd have got Murphy's. He said "but shure I know ye're from Dublin". More fool us.
