That’s the ones, a mutual friend put me into them and that’s how I ended up with my lad. Stiff is very generous, he was a reliable old mutt except on one particular quarry which for some reason he never wanted to know about although he would have been well able. In the hands of a better man he would have been a better dog, as it was he was my pal and as good a dog as I deserved and we had some good fun.

No mate, it was bred by some lads who I believe you are acquainted with…….good lads, was bang into their dogs and from very posh background. The lads dad owned an airline I heard ! The boys went to Africa to hunt Dik Dik and look for gold !…..they asked me for a line off my lad to take out there and hunt Dik Dik but we never ended up doing it.

Fair play to you mate, a man of your means still humble enough to shop in the discount trainer section at sports direct !……

The look that says “why did I marry this bloke again ?” lol
-
They wish they had legs like them mate, in them days they was machines ……f****d these days mind ! lol

I’m a pretty simple bloke mate (as I’m sure many will vouch for ! lol) and I like simple little moments if that makes sense. I was born and brought up round there and I just like the place, I wouldn’t want to live there but it’s nice to visit…..took my wife there for our first ever day out 30 years ago, I was a bit lighter in them days ! lol

Well, anyway, today I’ve not been building in the west of ireland…..I’ve been soaking up the sun in Greenwhich by the river ! Pie, mash and liquor and a mug of strong tea for breakfast. Then a nice walk round the park, market and Maratime museum….stood in front of Admiral Lord Nelson’s clothes that he had on at the battle of trafalgar (I’ve done it many times in my life, but it never gets old) Back out and along the river to the Trafalgar Arms with my oldest boy, daughter and her boyfriend…..sat and had a pint of coke with lime and ice, they had Peroni and watched the rive

That base was put down for a sheep pen mate and it’s out of level. So, I took out the falls in blockwork to make it level plus, where I live it’s best to follow the old adage of house building: Give it a big hat and a big pair of boots. It will start pissing down every day come October and won’t stop again until May….all the houses here are built in contact with the ground and all of them have damp issues, badly ! I figured if I’m doing it myself, my way, I’m getting off the ground.
-
Out of shot is another smaller concrete base mate, I’m going to put another smaller version of the building on there as her bathroom, gas shower, composting loo maybe ? I have my own septic tank it can all be disposed of in…..I don’t know all the details yet as I haven’t sat and worked it all out.
-
Couple of reasons mate, first off they are freezing in the winter and with the damp climate on the west coast they deteriorate like f**k. Second, IF I did want one (I bought a really nice one for my mum when we fist moved over) they are a pure pain in the arse to get up my lane and into my gaff….. It was a nightmare getting my mums one in and a pure nightmare getting it out again when I sold it. Been there, done that, not practical boss.
-
Caravans are f***ing freezing ! lol we want it a bit comfortable mate.
-
I was rather hoping you could imagine me something state of the art into existence mate?…….you've managed it with every f***ing thing else ! lol

How much do they pay to broom round the platform 4 hours a day ?
-
The builders will look after it……..and feed Falkor the dragon ! lol
-
Give him a chance, judging by this years expenditure he is probably busy on the phone to Fort Knox arranging for them to send him another pallet of gold ! lol
-
Not as fast as the imaginary Tesla I’m afraid !
-
He will take his imaginary coat or build an imaginary storm bunker ! lol
-
Can you imaginary deliver or will I have to get it imaginary collected ?……what imaginary size is it? Can you post a Google stock images of aforementioned imaginary spare ply please….
-
When is the imaginary fight booked for ? Have you checked if the hotel has an imaginary gym so you can keep up with your imaginary workout programme ? What about an imaginary charging port for the imaginary car when you imaginary park at the imaginary airport ? Will the imaginary builders have finished the imaginary extension by the time you wake up from this latest dream state ? Cant wait to see the Google stock images of Florida and your imaginary days out…..have an imaginary great time mate.

“Yes, Hello, Virgin airlines how may I help you ?” ”Yes, I’d like to book 8 seats to Florida please….staying for 3 weeks” Yes sir, can I take some details….your name please sir?” ”My name, of course, it’s Wonka….Willy Wonka” lol
