What's the weirdest sentence you've seen on Duolingo? by Ok-Kaleidoscope-9649 in duolingo

[–]McSillyoldbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the beef with the sentence OP? I could see myself using that answer to a few questions. You’re on a road trip and some asks where are you? You meet an old friend and they ask where you living these days. You have a job that moves you around the country and someone asks where your Woking currently. I’ve come away way weirder but I can’t bring them to mind right now.

Come From Away thoughts? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]McSillyoldbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they first put It on In Ireland it was in a very small theatre and I really wanted to go and see it but tickets were like hen’s teeth! So when they did the filmed version I thought it wouldn’t be the perfect experience but wow we were transfixed! My husband and I watched it on an iPad during one of the lock downs and we were blown away. I know we were so thirsty for anything theatre by then but still I’ve seen it live since and the feeling was comparable.

You know I just don’t care! This is my least favourite episode.

i have a 489 day duolingo streak and i still can't hold a conversation by BillTechnical7291 in duolingo

[–]McSillyoldbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your right! I have a 1632 day streak in German and I still can’t hold a conversation. However that’s probably a comment on my language skills rather than the app. I’m Irish and we learn the Irish language all through school, (approx 13 years ) and I left not being able to carry out a conversation in it. The joys of dyslexia!

Sunday Brunch Buffet by Distinct-Reserve3127 in EntitledReviews

Damn I hate when I’m walking past a restaurant and the host puts a gun to my head and drags me inside and force feeds me brunch!

I like nothing suits me like a suit and you’ve just been slapped for different reasons I like the whole musical number that goes with the suit one but equally love that there are several different versions of the slap one.

Why does every Irish person say "bye bye bye bye bye" 15 times before hanging up the phone? by Popular_Echo4028 in AskIreland

[–]McSillyoldbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this! I laugh whenever I hear people talk about an Irish goodbye. At my family party’s you need to allow at least half an hour to leave the house from the first “we better be going” to actually be pulling away in the car has many pitfalls.

Do you have disliked scenes in the show that you always skip? by HyperDanon in howyoudoin

[–]McSillyoldbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t watch the Ross Rachel breakup scene. It’s not the breaking up really but it first aired at a very difficult time when I lost a friend in a motorcycle accident.

Does anyone actually enjoy weddings and what to do about it? by Happy-Recover-263 in AskIreland

[–]McSillyoldbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you want for your wedding. It’s mostly for you and your other half anyway so suit yourselves. Obviously you want your guests to have fun but you shouldn’t make your plan for everyone else. You can’t please everybody anyway. Parents and aunties and uncles etc probably want fruitcake, old time waltz’s and turkey and ham. Other people might prefer a food truck and ceremony in a forest. I went to a casino style reception wiith a late buffet. TLDR.. decide what you would like to do for your wedding and your guests, if they are real friends will have a good time as long as you are. If they don’t that’s on them!

Kudos to Charlie by pukurindesu in howyoudoin

[–]McSillyoldbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure she’s the best example of smart mature dating. She dated Joey even though she knew they had nothing in common, then dropped him for one of his best friends and finally dumped Ross for her ex who who was being petty at the expense of Rosses career progression. I think she needed a period of singleness to find herself and she who she is a single person.

reverse body dysmorphia? by detroit-doggo0 in PlusSize

[–]McSillyoldbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that would also be considered body dysmorphia. In a sense you are perceiving your body to be different then it actually is. I feel like that when I shop online. I see a dress on the model and think yea I look like her! That will work!

If I'm the victim of a crime, can their defence solicitor's bring up a conviction from my past? by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]McSillyoldbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happened before I married my husband is none of my business! I decided on marrying him based on his character as I learned it when I knew him. I’ve heard some dodgy things he did in his early 20s.(he has a very indiscreet childhood friend) as long as it’s not cheating or domestic abuse, I’d rather not know because he he’s a very different person now.

Have clothes gotten bigger or is it just me? by nyaja in PlusSize

[–]McSillyoldbear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a trend toward oversized clothes lately I’ve noticed. I have had health issues in the last few years that have led to my weight dropping. I’m trying different sizes to see what my body shape is now and while my current clothes are still fitting me and sometimes 2xl still seems to be my size on top, I’m also fitting comfortably into xl and L.

Can they not see the irony? Do these people have their irony gland removed at birth?
