cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 When you started to describe it, I immediately thought, arms ammunition bunker. Perhaps it is worth talking to the gardai if it gets suspiciously like a bunker. I wouldnt want anything to happen to you and your dogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, peeps. It's time to reveal All! I worked my way back in there, through six foot plus high stinging nettles and all. Only this time, as well as my Trapping Hammer, I bought a pair of secateurs, a nail bar and a cold chisel. I figured I was about ready for anything. Now, ye've seen the 'Thing', in situ? Well, This is a glimpse as the fuller situation confronting me! It's In There! Left of centre, the route I was taking is just discernable. I couldn't even see left or right. Nettles were over my eye level. It was grim! So, anyway; I burrowed my way back to this thing and gave it a couple more exploratory taps with my finger nail. Definately plastic. Then I started to probe and scratch with the chisel. Nipping away a couple of larger and more stubborn roots. I guess I got the rest of a foot of it exposed. But my god, I fought damn hard for every millimeter of that. All the time eyeing that odd, cast iron cap. For some reason - originally fear of breaking it. Now for ... just ..... I dunno. I just felt it would be cheating to try to remove that cap before I'd unearthed it. Twenty minutes of futile scratching finally made up my mind for me. With dry mouth and tremmbling heart I delicately tapped upwards at the rim of that cap. It popped off cleanly. Inching foreward, daring not even to breath, I prepared myself to peer inside. Not knowing what in the world I might find in there after all these years. A haul of coins? Some hidden doccumentation? Perhaps, just possibly, the 'unthinkable'. I figured a Makarov pistol would be quite safe in there. Sealed in plastic bags ..... With trepidation and a swirling mix of emotions ..... I Looked! . . . . . . . For F*ck F*cking Sake!!! :wallbash: Yeppers. Some silly c*** had gone and buried the Stop Cock, either to this damn cottages single, cold tap, or else to the cattle drinkers below, right back up there in the impenetrable jungle around the upper reaches of my damn ditch! You just wait till I see Pat! I feel his hand in this! So, Irish Lurcher was indeed about the closest of any of us. My 'Ditch Loo' is just a concrete cubicle simply built over the ditch. The brown hostage is released directly and plunges into that ditch. No 'sewage' system what so ever. Just the rain off the mountain for the seasonal flush. Oh well, there we go. At least I don't have a 'Hot' Firearm on my hands! Could've done with some coin though ~ I'm gasping for a Guinness! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
