Look at his face. I bet his cornflakes try to crawl out of the bowl.
Don't clap I'm not a jazz band for Christ's sake.
I'm not a fighter, I'm a bleeder.
I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?
I dont watch a whole lot of stand up. Mainly I prefer to read writers; they make me laugh the most. Something gets you when youre alone and someones voice is coming through their work. Theres a different quality to it that stays with you a bit more.
Idioms are a big thing in Ireland. They want to fill the time, to show how good they are at talk - it's a talk-off

Now I'm not an expert at mathematics, but I calculated it would take at least three of me to take on one third of one of them, even if they were attacking me with just their arse.
Wow this place is really big isn't it? They must do proper stuff here, like opera and all that...shite.
