New computer coming

 I would post more often but I have been having computer problems.

First let me tell you of 2 strange things I saw in Aldi on the East wall road last week. 

First of all I was going in and I saw a modern car with its side lights turned on. It hit me like a flash. He got out of the car without switching it off, then the car would not lock and anyone could have opened the door and driven away. I saw that before so my mind clicked into play.

A few years ago a friend of mine flew to New York and picked up his sisters Prius. She showed him how it worked and they drove to Boston.     On arrival at his parents house he rang NY to see how to lock the car. "Use the key fob" came the  reply. She had the key in her pocket. They were lucky that they never turned off the engine for all of the journey,

The other one happened in Aldi as well. Recycling drink cans and plastic bottle is a big hit. So people are bringing stacks of empty cans to run through the machine. One day a lady was loading in the cans and when she was finished she pulled her refund docket and put her bag into the trash. I knew that there was something odd in the transaction and it hit me 10 minutes later. The bag she threw into the trash cost her €3 at least and I bet she didn't get more than €2 for the cans she brought to the shop. By the way you are charged for the cans at the point of purchase.

 There was a huge error in the Garda vetting procedure. A taxi driver was convicted of raping 2 girls. When they looked into his past criminal record they found that had raped a 9 year old girl at an earlier time. What kind of research had they done?

A Chinese friend of mine is going through the vetting process for weeks now. At one point they handed him back the form because his references were all Chinese. Even though they were all Irish citizens.

Here is a story that you could amuse someone with.

My Daddy went away with some of his mates to Blackpool in 1962.

When he came back he had box and inside the box there was a donkey about a foot high. My wife is turning on her fone of to check the weather. 

Back then we had the weather donkey, 

all eventualities were covered.

The instructions were to put the donkey in the garden 15 ft from the kitchen window.

If you looked out and you could not see the donkey? Then it was night time

If the donkeys tail was wet.... It has been or is now raining

If the donkeys tail was dry, then it is not raining.

If the tail is moving around... It is telling you that it is windy

If the tail remained still.....It is not windy but calm

Then one morning the donkey was lying on its side. My Daddy consulted the manual.

It declared that there had been an earthquake

Modern science Could you beat it?
