The VTOL aeroplane, too. I'm sure they thought it would never get off the ground

Did you know it's purported they invented the toilet seat in 1808? Then in 1810 the English put the hole in it!

Its been passed down through generationsthat the Irish are well 'a bit dopey' but we all know they're not really. (Its a bit of fun)

the first time I heard that joke the idea of a solar powered torch did seem ridiculous... but as Chris points out, it's been rather overtaken by events. Looks like the Irish led the world after all.

There was one about an Irish video recorder that records programmes you don't like and plays them back while you're out, but I think my player does that too.

Trim if they had lifted it up it wouldn't have been a seat then would it lolol.

[sandyRoe]

It still would be, so it would.
You must know these immortal lines by WB Yeats:
"If you dribble when you piddle
Be a sweetie, raise the seatie"

Did you hear that they were going to send a rocket to the sun??

NASA told them it wouldn't work "You'll just burn up in the heat"

" Ah to be sure we won't - cos aint we going at night !!!!"

[ummmm]

Hilarious

Irishman applies for work on a building site, and the foreman says: "As you're Irish, I'd better test your IQ. Do you know the difference between a joist and a girder?"

Paddy replies: "To be sure, to be sure... Joist wrote Ulysses and Girder wrote Faust."

[ummmm]

haha jno... :-)
