Thurles.info is delighted that so many of you enjoyed last week’s midweek giggle, so here’s another video that is sure to have you in stitches. Today’s midweek laugh features comedian, radio presenter and TV personality Alan Carr, as he reads a letter that was once sent to an insurance company.
What follows video hereunder is an excruciatingly funny letter that details a series of very unfortunate events involving a Toilet Roll Holder, the Emergency Services and a delicate part of the male anatomy.
As you can gather, in the video, the person who wrote the reply letter, had been asked to do so by his insurance company, because his response to the question “Reason for hospital visit” had been “Stupidity”; thus not seen by the latter as an adequate explaination of matters, necessitating a pay out from the insurance company.
Lockdown is starting to lift, but with today’s miserable weather Thurles.info thought our readers would benefit from a midweek ‘lift’ also.
Here’s one especially for all you dog and cat lovers out there.
In the video featured hereunder, watch the incomparable Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Coleman, Julian Clareyand others read this hilarious set of letters aloud. They are sure to give you all a well earned midweek laugh.
Explanation:
In 2014, author, journalist and literary critic, Nicholas Lezard, wrote an article for the Guardian Newspaper (Click HERE to review).
In it, Mr Lezard made his views on dogs quite clear. They were, as far as he was concerned, inferior to cats. Readers and dog lovers everywhere took umbrage at this assertion and what followed was a series of witty retorts in the form of letters to the editor.
Thurles born Pat Shortt has hysterically joked that his latest on screen character will catapult him to become “the new JLo of Tipperary”. In his most recent role, audiences will get to see a whole new side to Pat. Indeed, they’ll get to see all of him, because Pat goes naked to play the part of Padraig in a brand new hilarious comedy series entitled “Frank of Ireland”.
Premiering, as it did on April 15th last, the series follows the trials and tribulations of an anti-social fantasist and self-proclaimed musician called Frank Marron, who still lives at home with his mother.
Set in a leafy Dublin suburb, the series boasts an all-star cast and crew. The show stars and is written and directed by Brian and Domhnall Gleeson, with Sharon Horgan as one of its executive producers. Other cast members include Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Love/Hate) and Brian and Domhall Gleeson’s father, Brendan.
Pat Shortt’s character on the show, Padraig, is the father of Frank Marron’s (Brian Gleeson) ex girlfriend Áine, played by Sarah Greene. Like any project involving Pat, his character Padraig and the Frank of Ireland show will have you in stitches.
To catch a glimpse of Pat Shortt in his birthday suit, tune into this hilarious new comedy show, which airs on Channel 4 on Thursday nights, at 10:00pm or stream all the episodes on the free to view All 4 app and streaming service, (Click HERE).
If you still can’t get enough of the Thurles born comedian Pat, he is involved in a number of other projects at present including two upcoming films and the number 1 podcast “The Wellness Hour with Paaaah!“, a collaborative project with his daughter Faye.
If you haven’t experienced ‘The Wellness Hour with Paaaah!’, Click HERE and prepare yourself for hours of laughter. The Wellness Hour with Paaaah is seldom more than thirty minutes and as Paaaah says, “Sure haven’t you the rest of the hour to yourself”.
No well-known current day personalities get spared in this humours song, which comes courtesy of funny man Eamonn Macdonncha and his children, Ciarán aged 10 and Cóilín aged 7, all who shared in the performance of “Roll out the AstraZeneca” posted on YouTube.
Sit back and have a good laugh, sure there is nothing else you can be doing this Tuesday morning, as you pretend to work from home.
“Roll out the AstraZeneca”
Oh, lockdown nearly broke us
It’s brought us to our knees,
Thank god for Arthur Guinness
And for the PUPs.
Oh when will the public houses
Ever open the door?
At the rate of vaccination,
It’ll be 2024.
Well Varadkar got the vaccine
Just earlier in the week.
He had it only in his arm
And the thing began to leak!
Well they gave it to Arlene Foster
And it drove her half insane,
She claims she’s got some Fenian blood
And she wants to join Sinn Féin
There’s no one in the restaurants
And there’s no one in the pubs,
And there’s not a team in Ireland
That can stop the bloody Dubs. When the Green’s get vaccinated
Eamonn Ryan’s boots will quake,
The biggest job they’ll have is
Trying to keep the whore awake.
When they jabbed the Queen of England
It created quite a spark,
They gave none to Meghan Markl
Saying her skin was way too dark.
A woman and a baby were seated in the doctors surgery here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. Both were waiting for the male doctor to arrive in, for the baby’s first 6 weeks examination.
When the doctor arrived, he began immediately to examine the baby. However, on checking the baby’s weight he became rather concerned and enquired if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
“Oh, Breast-fed”, the woman stated assuredly.
On informing her of his concerns he asked, “Perhaps you might strip down to your waist for me please”, said the doctor.
The woman quickly complied with his request.
The physician, first took her blood pressure, before gently squeezed both of her nipples, and then pressing and kneaded both of her ample breasts, briefly, in his efforts to give his now patient, a most professional and detailed examination.
Then motioning to her to get dressed again, the doctor stated “I fully understand why your baby is so under-weight; you don’t have any breast milk”.
“I fully agree with your diagnosis doctor”, said the woman, “but what has these facts got to do with the weight of the baby, I’m the baby’s grandmother.”
