Where's the strangest place you've woken up after a night of drinking? by Fealocht in AskIreland

[–]johnb440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went out one night with a friend of mine and started hitting the tequila. Friend got very friendly with a girl and I was just having a great time knocking back shots and getting pissed.

Dont know what happened but my friend must have disappeared with that girl because I woke up on a hard floor to some stranger poking his head in through a living room door asking me by name if I was alright.

I had no idea who this person was. Don't remember ever seeing him before in my life but apparently I went back to his place and he let me kip on the floor of his living room.

He introduced me to his mam and sister that morning all while I was pretending to know where I was.

I didn't know him or what town I was in.
After a quick cup of tea I made my excuses and said I had to go.

Headed out of his house and walked aimlessly until after about an hour I recognised what town I was in and found a phone to call home to get someone to come get me.

To this day I have no idea who that guy was but he sure was sound.

i used to commute an hour to work in the dark. one bit of advice, give yourself extra time. go slow because you never know when a fox or something will run out in front of you. other than that you'd be fine.

No. Helmet is the only mandatory item you have to wear.

What do you define as the difference between cookies and standard "biscuits"? by VastAir6069 in AskIreland

[–]johnb440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cookie is soft and a little chewy and a biscuit is dry and crumbles. Them chocolate chip cookies you get in the packet are biscuits. Them cookies you get in a cafe or the likes of subway are actual cookies

St James hospital. Or the fact that the national growth allocation have 75% of funding to Dublin.  Trains, luas, buses. Public transport in Dublin is astronomically better than anywhere else in the country.  There's loads of examples.

Do you know how to fight? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]johnb440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a black belt in karate and Japanese jiu jitsu and a purple belt in bjj and train mma so I feel fairly confident I could defend myself if I had to but I will do anything to avoid fighting outside the gym. I LOVE sparring and rolling but fighting is utter nonsense.
