What’s With Cillian Murphy? AIBU?

So last night, I was watching TV.

Family piled on the sofa. Kids… dogs… we were laughing and chatting and generally enjoying the craic. Also in the room, just out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Cillian Murphy. He was steadily working through a pile of ironing which had accumulated in the hot weather cause it was too hot to tackle right? He was smiling. Joining in the banter. He joined us on the sofa and then ordered a Deliveroo. Which was proper nice of him cause I was feeling a bit peckish.

AIBU to have wanted this scenario to have played out before my dog woke me? She likes to get up onto the bed round about 7am. Would have been nice to have seen what Cillian ordered 😐

Yes you’re unreasonable. Get up and go walk the dog.
No. It was lovely of Cillian to wade through your ironing pile and order snacks but did he pay?

@Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride That’s hilarious! Ken, he looks good in a polo neck. To be fair, most men do.

I find that their is something deeply disturbing and rightening about Cillian Murphy.

If he turned up in my dream l would think l was having a nightmare.

I had a Cilian Murphy dream once. He showed me his vintage knitting collection, which had some lovely 1940s Fair Isle in it.

To be fair, this does sound like something he would do

I once comforted a bereft Kenneth Branagh after he and Emma Thompson split. He was wearing a dark blue cashmere overcoat and a black polo neck.I gave him lots of sterling advice as we walked up to school to pick my kids up. All the other mums were dead jealous. Then I found out about HBC when i woke up. Wasted all that good advice.
I wouldn't care if it was Ray Winstone(who im sure is a lovely bloke) if he wants to pitch in on the ironing, hes welcome any day.

You've reminded me of when DS was little. Obe morning he woke up and immediately started sobbing. When I asked him what was wrong, he said he wanted to go back to Candyland.

Well then, the joke’s on you @Markisagreatname Unlike most normal people who don’t lead the kind of stimulating lifestyle you profess to enjoy, the bog standard folk who’ve enjoyed a bit of harmless chit chat are OK with this sort of nonsense. It’s not earth shattering stuff but it WAS my dream and I chose to share.

You’ve wasted your own time. Could’ve been doing… (feel free to fill in the gap).

I daresay, has Mrs Amal Clooney entered the chat? 🤔
Don't worry, I'm sure your hubby will make you a nice freshly brewed coffee in the morning! ☕️

Or god forbid, it is Yvonne McGuinness? 😆
In that case, I know your fella would say "no fucking fighting!"

So he heard this thread that started about him has gone a bit off topic.

It’s not a good idea to get on the wrong side of Tommy Shelby

I’m not the one spouting vitriol at random strangers online. I didn’t get my comment deleted.

Am I not allowed a difference of opinion?

I commented because I actually wondered if it was a wind-up.
What I choose to do with my time is up to me.

Well in that case I think OP would find it hard to waste your time any more effectively than you are doing your own.

@Jom222 😂 That’s the spirit. And yes, I guess I always knew there was someone else. Fair play.

George Clooney and I have had a thing going for years. Used to drive my ExH round the bend. George would just show up when he felt like it, hang out. Always mooching if I’d cooked steak pie (a particular favourite of his). Ex was pissed that he’d just invite himself. My friends were all like “you DO realise who that IS?!”
“Yeah, I know. We’ve known each other years. Never anything between us. Just friends”. After he met Amal, he didn’t get up to Wigan much. She didn’t like it. Very insecure, she was, for such a highly educated woman. I mean, she was nowt to look at, in the flesh.

George never had the heart to tell you I'm the reason he stopped coming round. I told him numerous times to be honest with you but he was torn between us and I won out. Amal is aight but he confessed he prefers dull old fat women so naturally we've been drawn to each other as I also prefer charismatic movie stars.

I'd say I'm sorry but hate to lie.

@Nousernameideaaga Well said. What’s wrong with these small minded arrogant people?

Narcissism. Classic.

Sean Keavney you say @Mydogisagentleman ? Thanks for that heads up. I’m moving house soon. I fancy having shutters fitted.
