Modern Britain over kill !…..cozzers, a truck big enough to pull a chieftain tank ! f**k sake like !

Its one of the great things about rural ireland, none of that f***ing rigmarole !…….round here someone would have phoned the nearest bloke with a tractor and folks would have just driven round it until he arrived !

Rear while drive transit. Police officers turned up. The 1st on the scene had a brief conflab with me and quickly cancelled the air ambulance. Some well meaning half wit had reported a bus crash. I had already called our standard recovery, and even though the lad said his rig was not man enough (a f***ing big rope) the policeman allowed us to try. The rope snapped. Next one turned up with a bigger rig. Did not work. Eventually the police offered the service of something that could do the job but warned me that we would have to pay for it. In the mean time the traffic was backed up for miles in several directions. The police officers did their job and were good craic.

The other year my Mrs went out to warm the car up before she went to work, hear a yelp and in she came in floods of tears……she’s reached in to her little polo, turned the key and not checked to see if it was in neutral.

Off it went down the drive, into my front field and rested nose down in my front ditch……all you could see was the back bumper ! Lol 

Quick call to a mate, round he came in a John Deer with a chain and 20 minutes later it was out the ditch !

Fair play to the little petrol polo, the ditch was in full flood but I let it dry out for a few hours, fixed some plastic panels back in place and she fired right up not a bother !

Halloween.

Americanisms.

People that say Chuna, not 'tuna'.

People that say tuna fish, instead of just tuna.  We all know tuna is a fish.

Even worse, people that say Chuna fish!!!
