    The simple pleasure of walking to get your post (if you have a long driveway) and seeing a fox, a hare, and a pheasant. None fighting unfortunately

    Hearing the Banshee! This happened me one night, frightned the bejaysis out of me. Have a half mile driveway going into the house, (proper sticks style) and I was walking over to my mate house and heard the banshee and nearly died. Met an aul man neighbour walking to the pub, which was a couple of miles away which is another rural thing to see, and he explained that it was a vixen screaming for want of a ride from a male fox. His words.

    We were always told that the screams were from a fox with the mange. You always hear them scream on frosty nights. Apparently the frost is killer when you have the mange.

    DHL delivery men still trying to deliver parcels that've been in the back of their truck for three months, because they don't know where the fuck they are.

    The country politicians like keeping a low profile down here, and just don't want to be found, so nobody gets a postcode.

    Well there's a kind of post code thing,like little signs on the top of lanes that say L12345 or whatever.
    I put it on my address if I'm ordering stuff online anyway.

    Thats not a postcode thats a route number.

    I seriously doubt that a letter addressed to
    Johnny Bollix
    N4 road
    Ireland
    would be likely to be delivered in a timely manner
