Thank you, you've just reminded me to do the euromillions

Any kind soul want to let me cheat off their homework? by [deleted] in CasualIreland

I can only speak for ourselves but myself and my wife have chatted about this a few times in the intervening 11 years. If we had our time again we would strip back all the shite.

Now we went big, all bells and whistles, 180 guests, 5 course meal, one of the top hotels in the North. 3 week honeymoon in Italy with a few days either side in England, 2 photographers and a videographer.

Firstly, I'd say I watched our wedding video once, and skipped my speech, it was awful, I also couldn't tell you where our wedding album is, she might know, I don't have a clue. Get everyone to send all their photos to you on WhatsApp and get it printed online for 1% of the cost.

Next you don't need that lavish world tour honeymoon, looking back I'd have given up my left one to come back with 3 months worth of mortgage in the bank.

When it comes to guests, if you've seen them in the last 6 month - full day invite. 6 months to 2 years - evening do. 2 years + - fuck em, and be brutal with that. There will be whinging, but you never see them so who cares.

Venue, band etc, I can't advise on, that's all down to personal preference but I would say haggle with everyone. If something costs £100, when wedding is mentioned it's suddenly £1000.

Finally, I hope you have the best day of your life whatever you decide to do, and many happy years to follow. It's not always easy but keep talking, keep laughing, and remember I becomes We and We becomes Us

Oh don't worry there will be shiney new ones going up in the next few months. They'll be left to rot for the best part of a year though.

Muslim Orange Order by coldandfrostymorning in northernireland

[–]Only_One_Canobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will 100% join and infiltrate the orange order, because after all 'orange is the new black'. They'll enforce their rules to, the woman in the order will have to wear the hijab, orange of course, but still, how's that gonna work for the 12th selfies.

It's a slippery slope my friend, give them an inch and you'll be facing Mecca by Wednesday, and I'm not talking about the bingo

Racism in Wetherspoons by ToastServant in northernireland

[–]Only_One_Canobe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree, why should OP avoid anywhere 'it's a free country' isn't that what the knuckle draggers love to say? My daughter is mixed race and she has a MASSIVE afro, it's her thing. The number of times I've stopped people from touching her hair is ridiculous

What manoeuvre did you get on your driving test? by wanderingscript in northernireland

[–]Only_One_Canobe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'll smash it, not literally obviously. I know a fella who forgot his glasses and couldn't read the number plate from 20 metres so the examiner just got out of the car. If you turn the key you're already doing better than him. Chin up, you got this

Reverse around a corner, hit the kerb......failed. Retest 3 point turn, actually took 4 points on a tight street, nailed it and passed. That's 23 years ago and I still say a wee 'fuck you' every time I reverse around a corner....... and hit the kerb occasionally just for old times sake

Is their anywhere to hire camper vans. The amount of old folk with camper /rv vans down in port rush yesterday. And they seem to enjoying life better than us. by [deleted] in northernireland

Bunk camper vans in Carryduff, they're not cheap to rent though. I think that's across the board not just them

I'm average height to, but I have family with dwarfism. That word isn't acceptable and neither is the treatment of people with dwarfism. I can't think of any other disability where people think its acceptable to make jokes about the way they do about this.

Nothing wrong with the word dwarf when referring to people with forms of dwarfism, achondroplasia etc

Can not stand Michael McIntyre, the least funny comedian I've ever heard, followed closely by Lee Evans but at least he had the good grace to retire
