if you'll be walking wearing this every day then I can't see too many approaching you on day #3 but I'll say hi! or maybe just wave from a distance!

Meeting Americans one year in Kinstons who were commenting on the lovely animal the goat was that year.. I told them he was nothing at all compared to the goat the year before.. Oh Really they asked.. I said Oh no not at all at all.. So they asked what was the goat the year before like.. I said sure look at him over there on the wall over the fire!! (Where they had a mounted head of a goat!)

The look on their faces was priceless!!.. they said surely not!!! Oh ya I said.. Sure on the 3rd day they take him down and slaughter him on stage.. The look got worse/better.. Really?? they asked.. I said ah ya.. and they make burgers out of him then.. (seeing how far I could push it).. there was silence for a minute an one of them asked What do they taste like.. Dunno I said - Its only one goat and alot of people.. The Burgers are over 200 quid a pop!!.. That was when I got the look of total and utter shock!!!!.. At which point I just broke my hole laughing and set them straight..

Master Card couldnt buy the look on their faces the whole way through the story!!

I hope they declare the cash to the Revenue Commissioners, it'll probably sort out the deficit.

Was staying in Killarney so took Deros 8pm. bus to Puck on Wednesday. Arrived town full of people and stalls. Couldn't get over the filth of the place, not a bin in sight sliding all over the place on chips and beer cans. Found a pub off the main street, a bit of a time warp. Got myself and herself a drink and saw some room in the bay window beside a drunk. He moves over to give herself the spot where he pissed himself. Back down town, the Walls came on stage but not really her type of music, back to Killarney on the half ten bus and had a few pints there. So much for Puck.

You paint an enchanting picture of the Puck Fair. :eek:
Perhaps they'd like to include your review in next year's brochure ?
