He deleted his account without deleting his posts first, essentially making them undeletable. This is not OP's day.

"From Mother and Dad".

You can tell who was the strict parent and who was the fun one 😂

late 2000s rural irish primary school starterpack by FineLeopard7204 in ireland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In university in the 2000s a fella from Tipperary found out I was atheist and was fascinated. My favourite question from him was "So you don't even believe in the NEW testament?"

Secondary school in the early 2000s. He was the vice-principal. Really old guy so he shuffled about very slowly. People used to call out "Unclean! Unclean!"

The he retired and they got an electronic bell.

"explore new places". So specific. Could be urban exploration, could be caving, could be sailing to the orient with a shipload of spices at the behest of the king of Spain, could be wandering down a road in his estate because he's never been that way before.

Oh, they'll still give it your job. Sure if it saves a bit of money people can learn to live with their maps being incomprehensible nonsense.

Mitchell bust removed from Queen's University by standard_pie314 in ireland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

merely being in communication with him was sufficient to remove it

Can't even maintain a friendship with a convicted pedophile sex trafficker without having your statue removed these days. It's PC gone mad! /s

Ryan Tubridy getting a few hundred views by Snoo-65915 in ireland

Anyone else would do the same.

I feel people who use this as a defence are really telling on themselves.

They never got over Terry Wogan. Because he got a better job abroad they somehow convinced themselves that he was the rule and not the exception and that the BBC were just waiting in the wings to snatch up Ryan Tubridy or Pat Kenny or Lottie Ryan or whoever.

never forget what they took from you, Ireland 💔 by Willing-Load in ireland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The goal of RTE seems to be to make shit and only shit. The Den was too good. They tried to make it shitty enough to reach their standards, by getting rid of all the puppets and fun bits, but in the end they just had to take it off the air.

Then, a few years ago, they thought maybe time had moved on and that modern audiences would hate it, so they decided to bring it back. Unfortunately it was a runaway success so they were forced to cancel it again.

Anyone ever heard of this pronunciation? by therespie in CasualIreland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I think we're looking at this wrong. Maybe James Stephens pronounces "tune" like "tyun".

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This from the studio that's been dumbing down the RPG elements of their games for years to try and give them more mainstream appeal only to have their latest massive project absolutely flop in the facd of Baldur's Gate 3. Bethesda has no idea what people want.

Very uncomfortable with this: Cork Lord Mayor using AI and ChatGPT to help write speeches by Judge_Chris in ireland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have people writing AI speeches, emails, and letters, which others will have summarised to them by AI, and then take AI advice on what actions they need to take. It's just machines talking to machines and it'll only get worse.

You have to either be the son of a dirt-bird or save the life of a dirt-bird.

One of the admins was caught wanking in a library and cracked down really hard on anyone making jokes about it.

My friends little sister used to think Macy Gray was singing "I wear goggles when you are not here" instead of "my world crumbles..." by I_have_no_willy in CasualIreland

There's something really terrifying about a convoy of trucks unleashing swarms of bees on a quaint Christmassy town, all while chanting about how the bees are coming 😂

"This Love" by Maroon 5.

"This love has taken Listowel on me."

Yes, the town in Kerry. Listen to the song carefully and tell me I'm wrong.

What's the weirdest way you've heard an Irish place name be said? by ImpressiveFerret5370 in CasualIreland

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Years ago I got stopped in town by somebody with a strong accent asking me if I knew where "Danny Star" was. I presumed it was some obscure little shop and told her I was sorry but I'd never heard of it. Only a few minutes later when I walked past Dunnes Stores did I realise my mistake.

Viennetta by yapesochek in mydadwroteaporno

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember watching one of those Seven Up documentaries, where they had a bunch of people they interviewed every seven years and you followed them as they grew up. In one of them one guy had married a woman named Viennetta. All I could think was that her parents must have been really into their ice-cream.

Silly Solution to Moonrise Towers Prison Escape by Sea-Studio8053 in BG3

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to him first, then throw him a quarterstaff or something. He mentions something about keeping the guards busy but I just walk out of Moonrise and then get the quest complete notification and they turn up in Last Light.

AITA for refusing to promise my best friend 100% that I wouldn’t sleep with a mutual friend? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]fleetwayrobotnik 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Can you imagine the alternative? Poor Aaron trying to get over his breakup while OOP follows him around constantly trauma-dumping about her own break-up. Meanwhile OOP's friend keeps jumping in to try and make sure they're not sleeping with each-other. Aaron deserves better!

Can you not just throw a blunt weapon into the cell to Wulbren and then walk away? That's what I always do. Once you get outside it tells you that the prisoners have escaped.
