How ironic

I don’t think that’s an example of irony.

AllergicToAMop · 31/01/2020 18:52

Yeah

GinDaddy · 31/01/2020 18:53

You and Alanis Morrisette both need to look up the meaning of the word "irony".

It's not even a coincidence.

Ironic: happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.

I wouldn't have expected somebody to choose today to put a card through the door advertising lessons for a European language. It caused wry amusement as a result - therefore it's ironic.

@GinDaddy - ha! “It’s like a Spanish leaflet on Brexit day...”

AllergicToAMop · 31/01/2020 18:55

Well. It's not...

Also. Some of us are just getting on with our lives, you know. Bills need to be paid

Do you think people can no longer learn Spanish, or travel to Spain??

Reginabambina · 31/01/2020 18:57

You do realise that Spanish is spoken outside of the EU right? There is a whole wirld out there, we're not suddenly cutting ourselves off from everything by leaving the EU. If anything I would imagine that people who learn Spanish are more likely looking to use it outside of the EU than looking to use it in Spain of all places.

FGS. No. Where's your sense of humour?

Apparently they’re making a musical of Ironic by Alannis Morrisette, where the characters take the piss out of her because the things she says are NOT ironic.Grin

Seriously they are.

Apologies, it’s not just about Ironic, it’s a musical based on the whole of Jagged Little Pill jaggedlittlepill.com/
