“you’ll take the picture and we’ll find it someday”

I really had no idea what to title this thread, but man, this story made me laugh.

That was a lovely story!

I’m irish so I can say this, but there is no mistaking those lads for anything other than Irish. Not all Irish people look like that, but most people who look like that are Irish!!

[jeaniebueller]

That funny.

[biscoffcookies]

This is a cute story! The thread title sounded ominous, so I was a little nervous. :-)

[Whitecaps]

Adorbs.

The story is cute, but why couldn’t she have just texted them the photos?

The article says that they don't have smartphones.  It's been a minute since I've had a flip phone but I don't think that they can receive photos?

Now I want to use Twitter to find two women I met in Australia. They were there from Manchester, England and were so damn funny and drunk.

Oh, I read it like they just didn’t have them with them because of the way it was phrased. But still, email? I’m not mad at the story, but I just don’t find it that inspiring.

i know the story is meant to be sweet, but i can't help thinking it's creepy. I miss privacy and anonymity.

This is where I am, too.

That is so sweet and shows one aspect of how the internet really can bring people together. Plus... there are so many people out there with time to tweet-find people. It's like an internet-army.

I've been thinking about this off and on for the last couple of days and just laughing. LOL!

I mean...from what I know of Ireland, outside of the major cities it's very much that small down super connected family thing where somebody probably saw the picture and was like "oh, hey, that's Susie's brothers cousins wifes boy Tommy. You know Tommy, the one that wore that awful blue shirt to church that time with the hole in the back? Ring up Susie and tell her!". Less internet stalky and more everyone knows everyone's damn business the old fashioned way.

That could be total stereotype nonsense, but from what I know of my one Irish family friend and convos with strangers in random pubs in rural Ireland when I was there, Im willing to say it aloud.

Every time I meet someone from Manchester in another country, they are usually very drunk and hard to understand. lol. But it's probably because we're watching football.

I wonder if we could find them without a picture?  I have some but they were SO drunk that I wouldn't feel comfortable posting them online but I do have quite a bit of unique info about them/their trip to Sydney.  They were so funny.  My friend and I tried to find them again based on where they said they'd be.

Yes!  That was honestly one of the funniest parts.  One sister kept yelling the other sister's name.
