It would not surprise me to see the toyota rolla right behind The Beast in the parade. Anything is possible.

he needs to top up the antifreeze as ot could be close to -10centigrade

I will not be anyplace near DC. I most likely will go for a good walk that day

The Lazy Wisdom of James

There once was a man named James,
Who lived life with little to claim.
No job, no care,
He’d sit in his chair,
And thought the world was just the same.

He’d scratch his head, oh so wise,
When science facts came in disguise.
"What's all this fuss?
You’re confusing us,
I don’t have the patience for lies!"

While others rushed, day and night,
James basked in his lazy delight.
“Why hurry or stress?
Life’s a big mess,
Don’t you all live alone in your plight?"

So James stayed adrift in his world,
As the busy folks spun and twirled,
Not caring for facts,
Or the world’s little acts,
In his mind, it was all just unfurled.

I am not sure but he is banished til Monday.

Unfortunately, Ireland no longer has freedom of speech and even though he thinks he is anonymous, I would not be so sure.

Your new avatar I have to say I find super creepy, some character on Pish had a similar one, where did you get it from? Does it symbolize something?

Yes, my Tiger-induced "PTSD" (according to Tiger) 🤣

It looked to be a great turnout of people that traveled but a very slack turnout of locals????

Well thats how its been in Knock really, you have David, that I interviewed there a while ago, and Colin and his wife and not really too many others in Knock itself getting involved. They should do I would say...

They have placed a big emphasis though on prayer there, which obviously goes with the location, and could be helping us that way more than we know....

What's with all this "public realm enhancement" going on in towns everywhere. 1.4 million was spent on this thing the locals call "tumbledown hayshed" in Roscommon town's square. It looks awful and it serves no purpose as a shelter as the roof is too high.
Strokestown people are up in arms about plans to "enhance the streetscape" or something. If you know Strokestown's wide main street, it's a great place to pull in, do your business, turn around, and eff off. This new scheme would remove something like ninety parking places.
Now look at these rusty old girders they have erected in Mohill.

This is a totally stupid arrogant intrusion and waste of public resources.
WTF are these clowns thinking of when they decide this is a good thing?
They never consulted the locals.

There was once a Green minister in Germany named Joshka Fisher. He said on public record that he didn't care what happened to his country's tax revenue AS LONG AS IT WAS NO LONGER IN GERMAN HANDS.
This is the Frankfurt School attitude that finances such projects as the one above in Roscommon. Enemies to our people, all over. The rule of madmen.

Everyone should drive to the legal speed limits, without this revenue the speed van company would go bust and the government would be fecked without the revenue.

I'm on the road since the 80s. Drive around 60k per year average. The level of fuckery out there is mindboggling. Ridiculous speeding on potholed roads, tailgating even there is no human way of overtaking for long distances, creeping along at 30kms, stopping wherever the fancy takes ya, no high vis vests on black clad pedestrians and throw in the bane of my life large groups of mamils especially on weekends.
And to add additional fun, revenue vans on the one good stretch of road. They seem to have given up on my part of Kerry though - haven't seen one in months.
The sad state of driving in this place surely must have something to do with how we teach young drivers: my youngest passed the test without ever having driven on a motorway, learned how to merge, drive at night etc.
Hair raising tbh. Teaching such elementals was down to me. And don't start me on the whole learner permit thing, an antediluvian concept tgat is no longer fit for modern traffic volumes.
