OK Rolo, look at this back home 10.45 - we had a frozen rain storm so had to come home and let the babysitter go home - she's a new driver so want her to be safe and sound... listen Martin was reminding me of some very embarrassing moments: ok I'll give it a start: Terrible quotes from Teresa: Hey Martin look at that guy with the bullet eye: No sorry Teresa gunner eye that is. Hey Chis I don't want to be a Strawberry: eh no Teresa you mean gooseberry... Martin the world is your lobster - ehhhhh no you mean oyster right. Have a terrible habbit of getting it wrong - and no I'm not Oliver Twist here- if you get my meaning...... Now Rolo took the first dip - your turn next.....

Try this one. You go to the Canaries, have a skinful of drink and stop to get chips on the way to the hotel.You order onion rings as you love them, and would,nt look twice at the seafood.After eaten half of the "onion rings" you are then informed that they were octopus. Could,nt get to a loo quick enough to ( relive my stomach of it,s contents) get the drift? To me that,s embarrassing. Mollykate |

Right Teresa,Mollykate,you gotta picture the scene. There's six lads on a trip to Barcelona last October to celebrate a major event in one of the lad's lives. I've spent the weeks leading up to the trip putting together a little song for him and now have the lyrics and tune down to a tee. We've rented an apartment,just off Las Rambla ( for anyone that knows Barcelona ) for the few days so I'm thinking that one night after we come back from the bar we'll all be able to give my song a good rattle. Anyway,after we arrive on the Friday lunchtime we're straight out to the Michael Collins Bar,just opposite the Famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral to watch the Ireland v Australia Compromise Rules game. The bar's empty but the manager, a great guy from Nobber Co.Meath tells us that later that night there will be some live entertainment in the Bar,with a guy from Wexford playing guitar and singing a few songs. We're there for a while chatting to the manager and before I know it one of the lads has explained the purpose of the trip,has mentioned this wonderful song that I've written and asked whether or not the night's entertainer would be willing to introduce a guest performer. No bother says Nobber Man and he tells us to come back that night 'bout one thirty when the place will be rockin'. Off we go so,I'm not a bit bothered 'cos I've no problem singing in front of a small audience,once got up on stage and sang Raglan Road in a bar in Liverpool and normally have no problem doing my bit. This wasn't the first time I'd done a little song for a mate either. We mosey around Barcelona for the rest of the afternoon having a couple of beers here and there before heading back to the apartment to get ready for the evening. We hook up with a mate that's lived there for a couple of years and he brings us all over the place. One bar he brings us to has a live band performing several of the songs we've been discussing here for the past while. It's a great night and the beer's going down fast. Finally it's one o'clock and time to head back to the Michael Collins. Hope you're still with me. At this stage we're all well pi***d and I'm starting to have second thoughts as to whether I'll be able to carry it off,but haven't I sang it millions of times when I was writing and learning it. We pitch up at the Michael Collins and it's stuffed. Must be four hundred punters enjoying the entertainment,which I have to say was top class. The minute we walk in Nobber Man spots us and is up to the singer filling him as to what's going on. I'm there going, " Nah, not tonight lads,too drunk,not up for it at the minute " but before I've a chance to disappear Nobber Man makes the announcement ,wait for this , that the youngest and least well known Furey Brother , Ronan Furey is in the house and would be willing to make a guest appearance.( One of the boys had spun this yarn to him earlier in the day and he'd swallowed it hook line and sinker.) The place erupts, so what you gonna do ? Turn and leggit or face the music and give it a go. Unfortunately we chose the wrong option and ten seconds later there's me on the stage with the Wexford singer asking me what I was going to sing and what key I'd like it played in. Jaysis lads, I didn't know where to look.The lads are all at the front of the stage in convulsions and I'm trying to explain to a largely spanish audience,all pi**ed how this is the biggest con job of all time. But sure now I've nothing to lose, I'm up on the stage rat a**ed,but don't I know the song inside out,might as well give it a go. It's written to the tune of Grace,and is largely a sl*g of our mate,you know,mentioning embarrasing things he's done etc. Think I could remember the words ? Not a bit of it. Struggled through the first verse, all the time the baseball cap moving down lower and lower to cover my face. We make a good fist of the chorus 'cos the lads know the words and give me a dig out,but come the second verse we're f***ed. Spend so much time trying to remember the words the tune goes completely.Complete disaster altogether. Never been so mortified in all my born days. Fair play to the spanish audience,they're on their feet applauding.Not sure if it was 'cos I'd finished or what. Then it's finished ,get a sympathetic pat on the back from Wexford Man and out the door before Nobber Man can get his hands on us. We went back in a few minutes later and fair play to him,he saw the funny side and eased my conscience. Thus ended a promising career. Rolo.

6 of us (lads) went to assen in holland last year to watch the motogp bike race, drinking quite a lot of fizzy beer. Now, im normally a guinness man as fizzy beer doesnt really agree with me, so anyway, we saw lots of stretched limos going around, so we decided it would be great crack to get a stretch limo back to the place we were staying. It was all going fine, until all of a sudden someone blurted out "stop the car im going to be.... huraghuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" all over the lads in the car and the car itself. So finally that someone gets out of the car and continues to do an excorcist impression for the next 5 minutes over the guradrail at the side of a ducth motorway. At this stage my t shirt, I mean that someones t shirt was destroyed, so he threw it away. SO there he is sat in the back of a car covered in puke, with a new nickname, pukeahontis, driving around holland. we got back to the place we were staying and finally made it back to the apt. god, i hate fizzy beer. ------------- work. the curse of the drinking classes!

Dave my husband was locked out of the house one day and saw that the window up stairs was open ,So off he went to get a ladder from the lady up the road.
He got the ladder climbed up got in the window thought this was great and went down the stairs closed the door brought the ladder back and ................................
Guess what he was locked out again so he just went to the pub and got p*ssed as he couldn't go back to get the ladder again..

Lenny's earlier revelation reminds me of a little story that took place in Zagreb, Croatia about six years ago. There's a gang of us over for a soccer international between Croatia and Ireland and as you do, first night of a soccer trip you give it complete holly. We found a real small bar,capacity about fifty,where the natives were unbelievably friendly to us and we'd had a great night mixing with them all.( No sign of any singing this time you'll be relieved to know.) Anyway,the night's over and we're away to the scratcher. Next morning and I'm dying. Decide to skip the brekky for an extra hour's kip. When I eventually manage to make my way downstairs three or four of the boys are nursing cups of coffee and talking furtively among themselves. I'm oblivious to all the chat 'cos I need to get my phone charged and as I don't have one of those continental adaptors,I ask one of the lads if I can borrow his. He tells me it's in his room and tosses me the keycard and it's away with me in the lift.Think I detect a bit of sniggering from the boys but ignore it. I arrive up to the room and the door's open so I don't need the key and I go straight in. Straight away there's a complete invasion of the senses. First the ears are assaulted by a shrill scream,followed closely by the most appalling stench which invades the nostrils.(Yeah both of them) I'm barely inside the door when I see two chambermaids screaming at me and pointing to the most unholy mess,made by one of the room occupants who had done a most enormous Lenny in the middle of the night and who had legged it down to breakfast before the girls had arrived to clean the room. It took two seconds to figure out what was happening, the poor girls obviously thought that I'd been the guilty party and were telling me in no uncertain terms ( thankfully in Croatian ) what they thought of me. Needless to say when I got back downstairs,the boys were having a fit. Rolo. |

Ok here's one for you! About hubby! It was his stag party here so all the lads decided to go golfing up state a little. Since there was quite the party of them they decided to go in one car. George took his wife's brand new van!!! Off they go to play golf and proceed to get absolutely hammered. On the drive home my X brother in law John starts to do the heave oooo thing and one of the lads stuck his head out the window where he proceeds to throw his guts up. Well as it happens when you drive at a mere 70 miles per hour the vomit came in the back window and all over the roof of With plenty of moans and groans they approach John's house where his wife Marie is standing outside!! Well one of the lads Ronan gets out and goes over and curls up on her doorstep. She's standing there screaming at him to get up but all she gets is "Its alright Marie this is grand, grand and comfortable, I'll sleep here. No budge from your man. At the same time John her X hubby is running around the sitting room behind her with a frying pan in hand spilling grease all over the floor and pucking into it at the same time. The evening ends with Marie running up to him and smacking him one and he starts bawling crying - so now picture it - frying pan in hand, throwing up and your wife smacks you one. The lads said he was standing there like a little kids whaling out of him........ Oh yeah forgot to tell you! Sharon nearly bashed the sh*te out of George the next day... as you would...

Most embarrassing moments. There's a few so I'll keep them short. I went to a 21st in Castlebellingham Castle in 1982. A lot of drink taken. Anyway in the course of the night I decided I wanted to hear some Quo. So I made my way through the crowd to the DJ and was attempting to tell him the song I wanted when I lost my balance and toppled head first into the speakers and deck and brought the whole lot crashing down. There was silence and of course everybody looked to see what the hell was happening. All was OK and I managed to get me song played. Again Again Again....why don't you do it again.......... Another time I was on holidays in Wexford in a caravan and during the night I decided I needed a piss. Thinking I was still at home or something I opened the wardrobe door, in I went and ..............you can guess the rest. Once I staying in me Ma's because I was having work done in my house. Myself and the missus were bunking in the sitting room downstairs. Again I needed to "see a man about a dog" and went upstairs and did the business. Instead of coming back down stairs something brought me back into my old bedroom. The next thing I heard screaming and a commotion and was awakened only to be looking into the terrified face of my sister. Old habits die hard. She was in my old bed. At a Lookalikes concert, remember them in the Crofton. Well I knew Sean O'Connor, the guitarist, from school. I used to follow hsi first band Randolf and after the Lookalikes. At one of their gigs I went to the jacks (Jaysus, I'm only realising I do this a lot !!) and of my way out some young effer was running in and threw up all over yours truly. I was destroyed but the gig had only started and I was f**ked if I was leavin so I stayed on, smelling like puke and that was the last time I went to the Crofton. Anyway there you have it. I'm a bit better now and I don't go the the loo anymore on my own  ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

One of my most embarrassing moments happened in the Stag's Head about
ten years ago. Saturday night, the place was jampacked but I was lucky to have started early enough to get a seat at the bar. For some reason I must have been sitting with a few inches too much space between me and the brother, because everyone in the pub slid between us to get their drinks. Trying to be a comedian and with a touch of sarcasm I shouted "HEY! would everyone please form a straight line". Everyone ignored me of course, but a few minutes later this mad woman came up to me and said "Who the f**k do you think you are? Form a line? I can tell you that you are not that good looking for anyone to form a line for ya, so try to get over yourself you f**king eejit...and she went on and on and on". It took a minute to cop on to what she was on about, and the more I tried to explain the more she reamed me. I turned purple and everyone in the pub was looking at me wondering what I had done to the poor girl. After it was all over my brother said "Jeyz..You handled that very well Sean".. and next he's on the floor breaking his bollix laughing I'm a bit shy by nature and although it was nothing too serious it still bothers me after all this time |

Theres probably loads that I could mention if I gave the matter a bit more thought but I remember when I was about 10 (I think) I tried to copy a stunt that the chimpanzee did in the kids programme Daktari (remember that show?). Anyway, it jumped off a building and floated to the ground using an umbrella for a 'parachute' so gobs**te that I was, I leaped off the folks garage roof with a big golf umbrella. Needless to say, I didnt float and crashed heavily into the grass below and sprained my ankle. Suppose it could have been worse!  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

There was a pub on Blackhorse ave., just off the Navan road. It was divided into sections by floor to ceiling mirrors (you can guess what's coming!). Yours truly went to the loo after many pints. On his return he found this guy coming towards him. I move to the right. The guy stepped to his left. I stepped to the left, the guy moved to his right. This went on for a few minutes until I realised what was going on. My fellow revellers were cracking up looking at this fool trying to get out of the way of his reflection. ------------- Life is for living |

Many years ago, when I was dating my ex husband, we were at a "Beach Party" in the Spa Hotel in Lucan. The night club was filled with sand and the stage area had been turned into a small swimming pool. Everyone was dressed in shorts and t-shirts and the like, including my ex. Well I was off having a dip in the pool and came back down onto the dance area, spotted who I thought was my ex, sidled up to him and put my hands down his shorts...only it wasn't him, it was his mate Ronan, and my ex was standing opposite us laughing his head off!  |

My most embarrassing moment. There are so many. OK hereīs a good one.
I was in a new band and we had our first gig in 1992. It was a big showcase gig, loads of people invited and the house was packed. Everyone in the band were seasoned pros except for the keyboard player, who was a young lad of eighteen and this was his first gig. He was very nervous. The house lights went down, our intro music came on and we started going on stage. I was first, to give me time to get settled in behind the drums. I jumped up onto the stage in ceremonious fashion............. and fell flat on my face, in slapstick fashion. There was nothing to do but get up and get myself behind the kit. After the gig (which went well)our keyboard player told us that his bad nerves disappeared the moment that I tripped. He couldnīt possibly do anything more embarrassing than that. ------------- Robbie

Good to see this one back T. Besides the confessions I have made earlier I have another to add. I remember being in JFK and turning around and walking straight into a glass panel. The f**king this was so clean I didn't notice it was glass. Nearly smashed me glasses and was so embarrassed ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I remember we used to go to Mass on a Sunday on our motorbikes, being forced by our Ma's to do so. Anyway after Mass we'd all drive up Celtic Park to the top where I lived. Normally to have a chat as to where we'd head that afternoon. This day I tore up the road on my 175 and as I braked outside my house I realised I was going too fast and ended up in the ditch outside my house. No damage to bike or rider. Musta been the bleessing at Mass ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Another time we was on holidays in Wexford in a caravan. I needed a leak during the night and instead of going to the loo in the caravan I went into the wardrobe thinking it was the jacks. Fortunately I was saved before I relieved myself ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Must be a male thing trying to pee in wardrobes. I've saved my clothes a few times from my then boyfriend trying to do that. ------------- Lesley 25th June - 25th July. Get organising my nights out. Child can stay in the car. Grove 1980-1984 |

| one of the most embarassing moments --(i've had a few'!!!!!!) - - one time coming back from grove -- had just bought - -what i thought a 'cool ' coat -- (in hindsight looked like a blanket) so walking back to raheny chipper --with gang in tow -- 'loved up' with a new boyfriend at the time with old gang behind me - they started to sing 'lay the blanket on the ground' - - never felt as good in coat after that |
