tatsblisters 11,412 Posted Tuesday at 10:35 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:35 That young lad saying about driving drunk and smashing into cars reminded me of my first job at 15 on a big council housing development in Rotherham with a big Irish firm doing all the ground works. A big Irish fellow who drove a JCB was nick named only the lonely when i asked why they called him that one of the Irish lads told me that previos he had gone to the pub in his JCB and had a skin full and on coming out some one had blocked him in so he moved the car with the JCB causing damage and the police came and arrested him and when up in court the magistrate asked him why he did it and his excuse was i was arfull lonely sir.

Greyman 33,847 Posted Tuesday at 11:53 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 I worked with a load of Irish lads in the early 80s lunch times they would just chuck tenners over the bar and tell the landlord to let them know when it had ran out on one trip back to the job they rolled the car in a ditch then as we all climbed out the only door working my mate slammed it behind him as the next lad was trying to haul himself out took the fingers off him lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A good wake and funeral can rival the best of weddings Yeah, it’s a big change from what we do in England, none of that there. Having seen enough death to last me a lifetime it wasn’t really something I could get my head round as it’s not just a few people, it’s f***ing hundreds of People lined up all over the show and nobody is that close to that many people……however, I found myself actually thinking “this is brilliant “ because what it really is, is a community propping up the living family, it’s strength in numbers, it’s supporting the people you live next too every day and I like that. To which end, I actually went into one last year with my oldest boy for a man my wife works with who’s dad had died quietly tragically in an accident…..I’d sort of become friendly with the bloke chatting as we shared an intrest in coaching sport, Had a bit of banter as he is republican and I’m English and the craic back and forth was good and he was just a good, decent nice man. I just felt like being there was what I could do to show support and respect as I know that’s all you can do…..and, this is going to sound strange to my fellow Englishmen, but do you know what, it was nice…..it was meaningful, there must have been 500 people there and it felt like you were all doing your bit. It’s a nice way to go about things mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
