Okay I was going to do a post on the passing of the Pope but felt that people are probably getting way too much of it already on TV so I decided to do something lighthearted instead. All of the stuff below I read on a cool dublin website of funny things over heard in dublin.

For those of you outside Ireland, there is some Irish slang in it, so see my previous post about Irish slang first by clicking here

Update: I just realised that I have a download limit in my geocities account for pictures that I am using in previous posts. If some of the pictures don't download, its due to the fact that they are stored in my geocities account which is capped out due to high traffic so try back later. (High traffic for me is anything over 25 visitors which is kinda sad I admit) If any one knows of a place where I can strore non personal pictures that doesnt have a download cap per hour, can ye leave a comment and help me out? Sound! (Irish way of saying thanks)
