Ah sure beltin the hell out of a bit of metal is good for the soul. Even better if it makes a thing by the end of it all.

😂Like quilting for car enthusiasts.

😂Here, fuck! She's at the keepie uppies with the hurl, the day! Time to pack it up Heather...yer done!

I learnt how to drive in one. Nice enough wee motor. A few years later, my cousin went out and bought a very clean, 2nd hand 4x4 turbo variant of it before even starting lessons, phoned an insurance company and promptly put it back in the Auto Trader. Ha ha

Catherine Connolly puts the bog roll on the holder so the bit ye grab is facing the wall.

Last Christmas, Catherine Connolly ate a load of sweets out of the Celebrations box and only left the Bountys for the rest of us!

I think it's more related to certain men BEING dicks.

Overshot on the sunlit uplands.

I mean...manual box, wind up windows, no air-con, carpet you could spit through, slap a couple of brightly coloured stickers on it and call it a Rallye. Worked for Peugeot and let's be honest, we'd all love a 106R.

Yeah, gullideckels!

This. My parent Austin Metro had these, back in the 80s. They don't hinder the action of the belt at all in the event of an accident. They hold the belt from being tight across the chest or neck but roll open if the occupant is thrown forward so the belt can work as designed. Simple yet clever.

I've never seen a car look quite so done with my shit! I'm sorry Alfa Romeo Montreal, I'll give myself a kick up the arse and do better.

A herd would be pushing it. Ha ha. 2 or 3 grazing on the mountain, now and then. They're gone as soon as they realise they're being watched. Noted, though. I think we're a way off infestation levels, yet. Haven't seen them since late July.

That's interesting. We had the opposite. Hunted to basically nothing. Slowly returning but it will be a long time until they are at infestation levels, I would think. Wolves may bring a rise in young hunters from farming backgrounds. Funny, I hadn't noticed hunter age. Right enough, they're mid-age+

Same up here. In my area, at least. Aren't properly functioning ecosystems amazing? And great to see the resurgence of both pine martens and red squirrels. Any time I'm in the forests around me, these days, I see more reds than greys. Hares and deer are spotted fairly often in the fields, too.

Amazing little creatures. A mate of mine lives on the edge of a forest in NI and has a cam up for the red squirrels and pine martens. Fascinating that he's noticed that, while martens are a threat to squirrels, the reds keep out of their way, the greys don't and sometimes pay the price.

And from what I can see (I have family who moved to Texas in the 80s) an education system that teaches them that it was (and is) all for the greater good.

The signs were there.

Does that make the Taoiseach Micheál Anglo?

Well done!

Jesus, if there's one thing that I've learned over the past couple of days, it's that yanks will only read what is put directly in front of them. They won't necessarily understand it and will definitely not look into it further in order to. Ha ha

Aye, a bit of Irish history will do that to ye. Ha ha

Given what's going on over there but aye, calling us Brits would be like us calling them all MAGA. I'm North of Ireland born and bred, lived through the troubles. I maintain a sense of humour on it and enjoy conversing on it but some yanks can be a bit Brit & tone deaf, themselves, currently. Ha ha

I don't tend to see much drama. I'm mostly just here for #speirgorm, Irish language practise, where the whole excitement kicked off, some national nonsense and pictures of old cars. Ha ha. Ah, people gonna people.

Just had a quick read through some replies and sweet jesus!

At this point, Connolly pretty much just needs to sit back, say nothing and she'll be in.

TBH with you, Jackie. Hilarious Sunday afternoon entertainment for the first 3 hours or so, just watching someone refuse to move on from their mistake and bloody-mindedly blame others who were trying their best to be friendly and understanding. After that, I think we were all ready to move on.

*takes deep breath*...it was hastagged but in the Irish language...because Ireland...but they didn't understand that so it wasn't good enough and on and on and on for about 6 hours. Ha ha.

Have a great day folks! Tóg go bog é!
