Was sitting outside a pub yesterday when a dinky little Kia came past with red paint and gold flames down both sides.

What do you find ironic and why?

The fact of between my two freezers, the smaller one I bought pretty much just for keeping ice in is the only one which needs de-icing.

Irony is very often misunderstood and mis named.

It's a lot more subtle than sarcasm being closer to satire.

Generally irony is understood by those that comprehend the contradiction / dichotomy or sometimes double meaning.

One example for me is the use of the ducking stool. The woman was going to drown irrespective of innocence or guilt.

An example for here ( a context we can all understand ) would be someone starting a thread to tell others to stop posting threads to tell others what to post or not to post.

Two guys, two tgirls? Nope. Can get plenty of one guy who'll meet two tgirls but put another guy in the room and they get all hermophobic. They don't even have to touch each other, but nope. Rich in irony.

Joiners, plasterers and decorators at airports moaning about "the bloody unions" when they wouldn't have any holidays to go on at all if it weren't for "the bloody unions."

People who say, "I have to work 70 hours a week and I'm not in a union!" Well, duh.

And the people who sit at work surfing the internet leaving comments about the workshy unemployed.
