This morning’s Story Of The Day was about those little things only your dad can teach you. The journal.ie did a full page feature on it and came up with the following list -
1. WD-40 can fix anything
2. The pub contains an endless supply of crisps and coke
3. There is only one correct way to drive
4. Swarfega is the only true way to clean your hands
5. When in doubt, ask your mother
6. It’s impossible to buy presents for an Irish man of a certain age
7. It’s often too cold to snow
8. There is never a bad time for a lecture
9. The Hunt For Red October/Das Boot/Under Siege/The Untouchables is the best film ever
10. Maps and directions are not necessary
11. There is always grass to be mown
12. How to bleed a radiator
13. How to bury pets or comeup with good lies about other ‘missing’ pets
Others from the listeners included the offside rule and how to tune in the channels.
The dilemma was from a female listener who’s sick of chatting to guys on a night out only to leave without numbers being exchanged. She was wondering are guys too shy to ask for a girl’s number and if so, should she start asking for theirs.
