    The 64 super dexta with a welded on roll cage with double wheels drawing a load of turf :pac:


    Over loaded hay trailers.

    The aul daysel jetta.

    The local garda station being closed all the time and being redirected to one 30 miles away

    Most of the signs still being in miles, and the complete hatred to kilometres and anything to do with them

    Rattling homemade silage trailers leaving grass on the road, driven by shirtless spotty teenagers, supping Lucozade original, radio up full blast and deliberatly driving through towns so they can spot the talent and show off to the lads sitting in the boy racers cars who are checking out the tractors and the talent, afraid to actually drive their cars as it would be wasting valuable dole money.

    Farmers with the face and arms burnt off them coz Sunscreen is for gheys.

    Brothers living together in the parents house alone for 70 odd years because neither of them bothered to look for a woman and living on prime real estate but wouldn't dare sell it.

    Frustated middle aged failed footballers roaring the heads off you 12 yr olds for not taking the game seriously and not giving 100% in training. While angry mothers scream at the referee.

    Knacker drinking the Prodestant church grounds.

    Neighbours constantly ignoring and being bitter towards each other over an argument over a ditch that happened over 10 years ago.

    Ol farmers with no plumbing or for convienience piss in the sink.

    The Stations: so the housewife can stress for months that the priest might be coming to the house and it must look nice. Women in the one room, men in the other.

    The English 'Tans' who arrive in the Summer with their jeeps and little yachts, overly friendly to everyone not knowing that behind ever Irish smile is the voice inside saying 'they took our f*cking spuds, the bastards'.

    Young twenty something girls who w*nk their way through members of the local football team doing well whether it be the Under 21, Senior or the Junior 3's.

    The three local pubs all within 50metres of each other selling drink to young one and locals til 4-5am.

    The local guard whose method of interrogation begins with 'who's your father?' and ends with 'go home ya scamp and tell yer old fella i says hello'

    People shouting at the foreigners at the deli counter of the local spar/centra coz the employee cant understand wtf they are saying. (not necessaryily a country thing).

    Still feeling the pinch of fear as you walk past the retired headmaster in your primary school who made you cry in class for not being able to remember the complexities of Irish grammer. People will still call him Sir.

    The local drunk who walks like a soldier to battle to the pub everyday at 11am though it be a long trip, rain hail or shine, only to be held in high regard by the local kids and shuffle home at 4am and sleep in a ditch covered in his own píss.

    Wouldn't change it for the World

    Kids still in the pub when it's gone midnight

    Dents and holes in the road signs where they've been used for target practice

    Donut tyre marks all over the roads

    Checking yourself for ticks when you come in from the field
