Do your job and save a life.

 My middle son has 3 kids and he lives in Northern Ireland.

He has 3 kids and we try to drive up to see them as often as we can.

Well I saw this thing happen twice and decided to do something about it.

A truck was driving along with a very high load. The load was of pieces of metal chopped up and the load was stacked right to the edge of the container.There was a net at the front of each load but the nets were not deployed.

This was spotted again on another trip as well.  Imagine if a flat piece of metal that had another bit the size of a hammer resting on it and the bar got launched at 60 MPH hitting the windscreen  of a car coming the other way.The other car is doing 8o MPH so we have an impact of  140 MPH.

So I wrote !!!! no reply. I wrote again, still no reply.

I hope I don't have to write to say "I told you so" 

It reminds my of the East wall rd. There was a road Alfie Byrne rd going off to the right which became a road of priority.

The other road was very badly marked and when I wrote I was told that any driver who passed the yield sign would not know the rules of the road. The crash happened and I sent a copy of their reply back.

All this anxiety goes back to when I got my first driving license and drove my daddy up to   Traynors scrap yard in county Armagh. When Mr Traynor heard I had my first trip on my license.

He took me through the wrecks, bent steering wheels, blood and hair on the windscreens, to cut a long story short he brought me over to a good looking car, no one ever wants to see this car again.

It turned out that they were driving along and someone was holding a baby on the back seat. They lost control of the car the wonderful baby was killed.

No one ever wants to see that car again. 

Years later his grandson took me out the back to see a yellow sports car. This car is for shredding as well. We don't know what he was doing but he turned the car over and his head was cut clean off.

Police inaction is a curse. I reported a girl who was mentally handicapped being sexually abused. My complaints went right up to the Garda commissioner. All I got was unless we caught the person there was nothing we could do. I you don't look you will not see anything.

Then a friend of mine was dropping off some people from the airport when a little boy ran up to him. Please mister help me. Bring me back to my mother and father please. Just then a Romanian man ran over and scooped him up. He OK he like this, he play games!The boy had blonde hair and spoke perfect English and the "Father" had very little English and a dark complexion.

John went to the Garda and they said "Unless we get a missing persons report there is nothing we can do"But they would not look. 

 So we decided to go back and kidnap the young lad, After a while there  one of the neighbors told us that the family had moved away, suddenly.

To this day we believe that he was kidnapped. 

, 

 

Big questions.

 As we went along I liked to have a bit of fun and ask trivial questions.

Is a Slug a homeless Snail ?

Why is a banana like a politician ?

Well you will never find a straight one. 

How do you know when a politician is lying? 

His lips are moving.

Is a cauliflower a cabbage that went to collage and he got a bigger brain ?

And lastly the man who invented the flat pack and developed it into Ikea.

His name was Ingvar Kampard  from Sweden.

The Swedish government as a  reward elected him to head department of industry and commerce.

But alas he never took up his post.

Do you know why?

You see,he could not assemble his cabinet.

Have a good day. 

 

You know karma is a wonderful thing.

I had a very abusive couple going to the airport one Sunday.

Why are you going this way?

Drive faster or we will miss our flight.

Even the choice of being thrown out did not cool them down.

At  the airport they were still cussing away. 

Our whole day has been fucked up thanks to you.

My day was fucked up when I got up and found that the clocks had changed.

I will never forget the change

"Wats ya takin about ya feckin moron ?"

The clocks went forward an hour last night !!

The dawning of reality was spectacular.

I also got the chance to say the words.

Who's the moron now? 

 

Thinking posative

 So I has this man in the taxi who said early on in the journey. 

"If I was starting my life again I would love to be a taxi driver"

He spoke about all the positive aspects to the job, and I countered with the drunk and abusive people.

" But you have the power! The journey ends here, have a nice day". I did it 3 times, the second time the guy offered to pay me €100 on top of the fare. No go. 

That man turned out to be the most influential person in my life. We stayed in touch until he died.

His name was Charles Feeney known as Chuck. He inverted duty free shopping and  became a billionaire and he used all his money to help the world. There is a book about him called the billionaire who wasn't.

Its a good read.  Anyhow open up your minds and look at things differently.

A word of warning to the wise. Look at your dash cam. Mine fell down in the heat and when I was putting it back I noticed "chip full". I asked my expert and he told me that it was not set to record in a loop. I would have fared badly when the other guy said 50/50.

Another one is to photocopy the receipt when you buy TVs or Air Firers etc. I was in Lidl  and there was 2 Spanish girls crying their eyes out. It was still in the box and it never worked! No receipt no return.... So I brought them outside and we came up with a plan.

I bought an air fryer and the next day we brought their fryer back with my receipt. 

Now I wish that I had brought back my one for a return of my money, they are not great.

Here is a very interesting one.

a GIRL WAS RAPED BY HER BOYFRIEND AND SHE WENT TO A LOCAL GARDA STATION. WHERE THE SERGEANT SPOKE TO HER.

WHEN  SHE CAME OUT HER FRIEND TOOK HER HOME FOR A CUP OF TEA AND A CHAT.   IT TURNED OUT THAT DURING THE INVESTIGATION HE SAID, "SURE YOU MUST HAVE ENJOYED IT! "

THE INTERVIEW SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE BY A FEMALE GARDA AND AS THE LAYERS OF THE ONION FELL AWAY THE TRUTH CAME OUT.

IT WAS THE SERGEANTS BROTHER. 

I THINK HE IS FILLING SHELVES IN TESCO NOW.

i DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY SETTINGS, BUT LIKE PATTON

"I WILL BE BACK"
