The Rules for Irish Men… Nine Things You Should All Know

Yes, yes and yes again. Yes to ALL of this.

Last week our pals Joe and Keith over at Phantom 105.2 read about ‘The Rules for Women’, posted by one very ‘brave’ Wexford man on his girlfriend’s Facebook page. (You can read it here).

Taking umbrage on behalf of Irish women, the radio presenters decided to call on their female listeners to see if there was a similar set of instructions that could and should be passed on to Irish men.

Rather surprising was the fact that only nine clear rules emerged, which lead Joe and Keith to conclude that “Irish men are pretty much perfect and don’t need any tips on improvement”.

We’re not so sure about that… and we could probably think of a few more to add on to the list, but we can't deny that this is pretty good stuff. Are you listening lads?

THE RULES... FOR MEN

1. Every match can’t be ‘the big one’. There simply cannot be a hugely important match every single week.
2. Don’t scratch your nether regions, especially while sitting on the couch watching ‘the big match’.
3. We will not share your outrage about a sports result.
4. Rinsing dishes is definitely not the same as washing dishes.
5. Minding your own children is not called ‘babysitting’; it’s called parenting.
6. Do not wear socks in bed. Ever.
7. Tracksuit bottoms and a replica football jersey is not an acceptable outfit to wear outside of the house. Or, for that matter, inside the house.
8. Driving is not a competition and other road users do not exist just to piss you off.
9. Don’t drink straight from the carton, unless you’re five years old.
