At the post office
Is that O-N or A-N? - An Irish lady making out a cheque to An Post.
In the checkout queue
Three years I’m here. Three years and I’m still a blow-in. - If you know small towns, no explanation is needed.
In the pub
You’re like the back of my bollix - you see nothing but shite - The barman reacts to a customer’s constant complaining.
Same pub - same day
They do curries like in the Chinese, but you get unlevelled bread with them, like in the bible - The local chapter of Mensa discuss the menu for the new Indian takeaway.

Fantastic stuff, forget overheard in Dublin we need an Overheard in a small village pub.
I’d hate to spend 3 years in a checkout queue!
30 years later I am still a blow-in in my town of abode.
That bollix line is priceless.
Yes I hate it when someone levels my bread.
These are terrific! I hope you’re collating them all somewhere, Sneezy. I love the bollix one but I was weak after the unlevelled bread. “Like in the bible” Beautiful!
Mac - You offering a book deal?
Grannymar - Touché! You caught me there.
30 years is nothing - around here we go by generations.
Medbh - It’s a Mastercard alright.
Eolaí - I left out another about the unlevelled bread - one lad wondered how they sliced it so thinly.
ps. What’s with your site? Moving house again?
Sam - Hold on now! First the Eolaí lad wanted stuff collated, now you - where will it all end, I ask ya?
Am definitely going to try out the ‘bollix’ line when I next get a customer complaint
- Oh damn, it seems I don’t have the correct equipment to use that line. I do love it though.
As for unlevelled bread - I’m kind of partial to that too although I must say that round these parts we struggle getting curries in the Chinese.
An involuntary moving of house. My webhost took me down yesterday. Seems my credit card didn’t clear so without warning I’m dumped. Gave him a new credit card but simultaneously lamented his lack of warning. So he took offence and killed my email.
Ah here, says I to nobody listening, I think I’ll move house to a cheaper neighbourhood rather than support the ungrateful and expensive little guy. Hope to be back up at some point today - but it’ll be messy. WordPress to Wordpress and all that.

Lollerskates.
Right I’m keeping my ears open the whole time in Dublin this weekend. I’m determined to catch some gems. Peopel here are far too sane, or perhaps my Dutch just isn’t quite good enough…
It should be “Un-Post”.
Right. I’m back. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah.
White girl - Of course you can use it: “Why you are like the back of your …”
Eolaí - Back, and with a vengeance, I see. Thank the gods for that.
Annie - I’m sure you’ve tried it out too. Yes?
Conorín - Well? What did you hear?
A Chainteoir - That would be better, yes.
