Cool. My dad is from Boyle and Aunt(Mothers sister) lives there aswell. I have loads of family up there. I spent every summer as a child/teenager up there an lived and worked there for a year or so after college. I love the town/county. The people are so friendly there, and as you said Pat they are a bit on the wild side in Boyle, especially after a few lemonades but its mainly a good wild side. It will always be my second home. Carlow will always be number one for me.

my late grandad was from Boyle, my great aunt and her son still live there. Went some summers myself to it, but not for weeks on end though. Carlow number one, then Dundalk number 2 , then Roscommon number 3 for me, in order of homes..

my insurance is on the focus, brian's insurance is on the fiesta. i have all the no claims etc etc on that one.

Brian only passed the test a year or two ago, and has this year three years no claims, car is fire/theft only. So think going to claim on the insurance would affect him too much at the moment. I have claims protection on mine, but he wouldn't on his.

I'll decide when the garage gives me a price for fixing the car, it only cost a few hundred euro, but then it still has 14 months of an NCT on it, so not really sure what to do at the moment.

you should give them a ring and check, most dont affect your bonus for it these days.

Eh, What??

HugoIrl

Yea was walking back over the bridge at graigue the other night and a fella was standing out of a car and asked for a fag, gave him one and then he started to ask for money. I left and kept walking, when i was coming up by the apts after the swimming pool saw a group of lads with hoods up so decided to cross the road.

Turned out to be the same fella and his mates, started asking for money again, i kept walking, they crossed the road after me so legged it to the house. Gym finally paid off

Four or five years ago i was coming out of Raths(Londis) and there was two young lads at the door, one tried to grab the money i had in my hand. I swung to hit him, he ducked and i fractured my hand off the wall. Managed to catch him with my elbow on the way back though. Turned my attention to his friend who started to cry and ran off. Picked the first guy off the ground and told him i was going to put him in the boot of my car and take him for a long drive and he started to cry aswell. I had to let him go because i couldn't stop laughing, plus the pain in my hand was bringing tears to my eyes.

A year or so before that i was living and working in Longford. I was sitting in the train station one evening when this fella came up to me and gave me a sob story about his best friend being killed the night before in Dublin and he needed a few quid for the train. To get rid of him i gave him two or three euro. Then he pulled a penknife on me and asked for my phone, wallet and the bag i was holding. What he didn't know was that i had two huge filleting knives in the bag that had come into the shop as samples and i was bringing them to my bosses house so he could check them out. I put my hand in the bag and rolled off the Crocodile Dundee line. He sure was a fast runner.

In relation to what happened to you Hugo, that is probably the most dangerous parts of the town. The things i have seen happen down there would make you shiver. You are a luck man that you managed to run away. I wont even go fishing in the town anymore unless there is someone with me. Way too dangerous.

You sir are a feckin' legend!!

Whosbetter?

I have no idea about this type of thing.
In my book they're are certain types that are subhuman.
I have always had very 'un PC' views on certain types of 'people'.
It's stood me in good stead over the years.
I just give these types a good talking to & tell them how useless they really are.
Always works!
Not joking. They're pure cowardly scum & brainless aswell!

Lived in Harelsden in the 80s. the place was full of em.

I loved debating the issues of the day with them then.:rolleyes:
