    Yea and arn't them auld ones such a disaster, they are always sticking their nose into everything and bitching behind peoples backs trying to see what "hes up tay now", they're like a crowd of girls, sure last week my dad was building something and this man came up our lane in a tractor and was staring to see what we were upto so bad that he banged into the hedge.


    Jesus,my neighbours on my mams road in Dublin are so much worse than any country ones to be honest! My mam came back from a weeks holidays the other day,and she already knows exactly what i got up in her house to while she was gone:mad:

    In fairness though,none of them are from Dublin originally!

    The local driver who drives the drunken locals(and blowins) in an illegally overfilled minibus back to their respective gaffs at 3 in the morning. Doesnt seem to be very concerned with payment and is usually very accommodating in responding to the various drunken directions from teh back. Something that should be imported into the major cities. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
