- “Paula after fancying my wife from a teenager, my chance came one night in Dannos nightclub in Clonmel, my only issue was shyness and some other guy in the outer limits of our group who mentioned he was trying for her attention that night too. She went out dancing with her girlfriends and I seized my opportunity, yer man came out behind me and what happened next can only be described as a Run DMC dance off, one by one all the others left and it was down to me and him? Mano a Mano? Last ones standing? Who would triumph? Well she took my hand and whispered You're the worst dancer ever, wanna get a drink? 17 years later she still laughs at my dancing!” - Niall in Tipp

- “Hi Paula I met my now girlfriend when we were kids about 5 I've liked her for years but couldn't build up the courage to tell her as we've been friends all our lives. She's had relationships and so have I. I used to tell her I liked her and she would say we are friends and I'd say I'm just joking to save embarrassment. Now 5 years on I got her and we have a beautiful family!”
- “Good Morning Paula, so I was in a bar with my friend and as we were both waiting for ages to get served when this girl walked up stood between us and said "I bet I get served before you do" (as she readjusts her cleavage) I said "well he used to own this bar and I worked here so let's see" sure enough the barman ignored us and asked the girl what she wanted she made her order and said whatever the lads are having, and that was that almost six years now!”
- “Paula I started a job on Monday, asked out on Tuesday. Went on a date on Friday & Saturday in Eniskerry he asked me to marry him. We will be 40 years married next year- 2 children & 7 grandchildren later - life is great. Say hello to Ken!"

- “Hi Paula. I first met my now wife in Monaghan town. There was a drunk guy giving her a lot of hassle on the street so I stepped in and told him to leave her alone. He told me to mind my own business and kept giving her abuse so I decked him and put him on his back. She then told me she had things under control and she had no choice other than to arrest me for assault. I persuaded her to come for dinner the next evening and we're together since. That was 18 yrs ago!”
