“Paula I had a thought while in the shower this morning, which is this. I hate spending a fiver on chicken at the supermarket which will do me for 2 or 3 dinners, but I will have no problem spending more than that on one chicken sandwich for lunch later (can you tell I’m planning my day in food!)” – Ciara in Longford.
That’s the most perfect example of a Shower Thought I’ve ever heard. The most random questions pop into my head and it almost always happens in the shower. For example, if you’re in a lift and it breaks and you’re hurtling towards the ground at an alarming speed, you’re bound to die. Unless – unless – you jump just before the lift lands? Would that save you?
Sean said; “Hi Paula. I'm with you on the lift idea Buy how would you know when to jump?? Cheers love the show.” - Sean
Dave reckons; NO. He says; “Paula, I reckon you be stuck to the roof off the lift if it falls like that and then be flattened by the sudden stop! - Dave
Anyway, hopefully I’ll never be in a situation where I have to test it out because it doesn’t sound like I’d live to tell the tale. Here are some other musings people have had. Some of these might make your brain ache for an answer;
- “Morning Paula. Do giraffes sleep standing up & just rest their heads against a tree?? Or do they lie down?!” - Helen, D6
Is cola only a flavour because of Coke? And if so, what flavour were Coke going for?

- “Paula I wait until the ground coffee I buy is half price because I hate spending over a fiver on a bag of coffee yet I’d spend at least that every day for one takeaway coffee (coz I can’t just buy a coffee, have to get the muffin too)”
We should have a library for things we need once and then bring back, like DIY equipment and sewing machines...

- “Beeping someone is so aggressive, I always think there should be different beeps for different situations. Like an ooh, careful now And a let’s go, light’s gone green gentle nudge beep. And the plain old loud beep for the eejits who can’t drive.”
- “Paula, do you ever think guards use empty garda cars like scarecrows for people? I’m convinced they do #ShowerThoughts
- "Paula would you ever have thought a a child that when you grew up, you'd be so happy to go to bed early and your favourite thing to do would be nothing?!"
- “Paula in years to come our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be able to scroll through our lives on social media. That’s frightening. And as always – never say anything you wouldn’t want your mammy to see online!”
- “Paula do you ever think that when someone says it’s never too late, what they’re really saying is do it now because it’s almost too late?”
Who saw an egg come out of a chickens butt & thought.. yum.. breakfast!!!
