This has been a real mess.
My computer sat down and I bought a second hand one. A big mistake as it has a mind of its own, passwords applied and unknown.
So here is a story that would make your hair curl.
In the past when money was worth something a developer decided to build houses for £1 million each. At the time you could buy a good house for £60,000. So this was an exclusive development, a quality undertaking. A taxi driver bought one and he paid cash!!!!!
The tongues started to wag and the other kids would not play with the taxi drivers kids, every time a police car saw him they chased him down and searched the car. "Why are you stopping me? I have nothing to hide." So it went on and the taxi man went into the Garda station where the super told him that he knows himself what he was up to and it will be only a matter of time until he is caught.
Taxi drivers have a wide circle of contacts so he started throwing out feelers. 2 private detectives were added to the mix. Then one day when he came home he was met with "Drug dealers out" painted on his front door. The police did nothing when asked but as luck would have it a spy video camera caught the villain.
2 legal eagles who had houses were summoned to court and the local Garda superintendent was ordered to attend, smug in their righteousness, but boy oh boy they were in for a shock.
On the day everyone was shocked to see the taxi drivers legal team, All high quality the CC tv was shown and their confidence faltered. The chief of police took the stand and called him a drug dealer. Plain and simple.
The barristers jumped on him and asked him why he never checked up on the taxi driver ?.
The judge said that although he was under no obligation to declare it openly in the court
He would like to know.
So an envelope was passed to the judge and the judge said to the superintendent. Everything is legal and in order. A simple phone call would have straightened out the matter.
The taxi driver will sell his house and any deprecation will be picked up by the residents committee.
The taxi driver also got compensation and costs for the disturbance.
Where did the money come from?
The taxi drivers brother had gone to England and became very successful
He never married and his money came back to his family in Dublin on his death.
The brothers company was very successful I have 5 pairs of Clarkes shoes myself.
If you come into money just say I won €5000. and I mean that.
A guy I used to work with won €6MILLION IT DESTROYED HIS LIFE
