Once our biggest export, a tanker full heads off to the port

Worth getting this book to see what happened in the Celtic Tiger years

The travelling magician (Google it) Not long until Blackpool

Its like something out of Watership down, but it is just off Parnell St.

 So Happy new year to all my Chinese friends, I was in Andrews shop and saw the sunrise on Taemin Square. Thousands of people watching and the raising of the flag was very special for sure.
It will be a cause for big celebration in Dublin. The year of the pig

My little prayer every day doing out is "Dear God give me a chance to do something good today"
So he (or she) gave me two chances today.
The first one was to help a blind man across the Howth Rd.
I saw him and stopped the car and went over, a young enough guy 35 years old or so.
Crossing back I was remarking to him about all the blind drivers who were driving up to a red light not stopping yet they plainly couldn't notice a blind man crossing.
A woman in a car beside me later on rolled down her window and thanked me for helping the man.
I said that once in the City center around 10 years ago I discovered that we were all totally fucked when people crossed at a padestrian crossing and left a poor blind man standing there at the corner.
On the subject of blindness there was a blind girl once who had lost her sense of direction and I pulled over.
Are you having a problem ?
Yes I turned around and now I don't know which way to go.
Where are you going and I will help you.
We crossed the road and I sent her on her way.
She was foreign lady and a musician.
Imagine she had come here and was using a stick to tap her way around
God she was one of the most beautiful women I ever saw.
I was saddned that she was blind.
She asked to let her see what I looked like then she ran her fingers across my face.
You are very handsome and a good man, give yourself a shave and you will look fantastic.
God bless her I remember her forever.

Then a young guy left a bag on the floor of the taxi, he sent me an email and I dropped it over today.
His father was pushing €10 into my hand, which I totally refused.
You cannot take money for being good or doing the right thing.

On the other hand
A customers husband dropped his fone in a taxi and the rang it straight away, 6 or 7 times no reply.
The next day they got a call, "I have your fone I am going into town later and I will give it to you".

She met him and he said "I had to drive into town from Lucan with this, the fare is €35.00

All you can say about a guy like that is that God might put a hump on his back.

So for the last word.
A taxi driver was bringing 4 youths down to Kimmage along the canal, all of a sudden they jumped out at the lights and ran off.
The taxi driver moved on and he herd a fone ringing in the back of the car.
He pulled over and located the fone.
Hey mister I left my fone in your taxi by mistake
Thats not the only mistake you made tonight is it ?
Well we will forget about that for the moment, we can play a little game together.
Lets see if you can guess these animals?

Moo ! Cow...Very good
Bow wow...Dog you are good at this.
Cluck cluck   Chicken   Marvellous !!!!! and so on

I have had enough of this now.
You wont be able to identify the next one so I will tell you before you hear it.
This is the sound of your fone being thrown into the canal !!!!! 

So what goes around comes around
