OVER HERE AT TheJournal.ie headquarters we sometimes get sent in some really, REALLY random stuff.

While for the most part our readers send us news tips and pictures that are perfectly relevant and useful, sometimes they’re really not.

We used to post some of the weird sh*te that got sent our way, and we’ve recently started bringing back the randomness.

So here’s a look at some of the surprises we got when we opened our inboxes recently:

All help on deck 

This photo came in from Derry with the sender explaining how “the rain stopped the umbrella from burning”.

Perfect Irish BBQ then.

No ‘Epic Banter’

This angry angry poster was spotted in Goatstown.

Just one nice neighbour trying to make the students feel welcome. That’s nice.

Rule Breaker

We got sent in this beautiful picture of a playground on a sunny day. We think a woman ignoring the ‘Keep off the grass’ sign may have been the reason.

But honestly, we’re just not sure.

Leaping Leitrim 

We got sent in this photo with the caption, “Two Leitrim frogs”. There they are now. Cheers.

Smashed 

This photo of car parts for sale came in with this clever caption, “Am guessing that if the bags didn’t deploy then they don’t work?”

Beaming

There it is now – the sun. Thanks for that.

Gorgeous

This beautiful photo of Ellen out for walk in Mullingar Co Westmeath was sent in with a the caption, “The wilds of Westmeath”.

How rude

Well really.

This person was obviously never told:

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Fore

Sure why not – send in a photo of Rory there.

Splendid.
