Close Shaves

I was loading a few cattle this evening… just as I was closing gate behind them in truck, one loon jumps out at me, knocks me onto the ramp and the other 10 loons coming flying out after him. I managed to roll and the gate somehow held a bit… my back and legs got trampled on, my hand is fucked but its only bruising.

Anyway, bit shook after it.

Only other close shave was waiting a pedestrian crossing in dublin city centre, big crowd waiting to cross, a few young lads messing managed to push the crowd forward and before I knew it I got clipped by dublin bus and knocked to the ground. Cunt flew past me and I can only assume it was the wing mirror that hit me in the side of the head! A bad headache that night but again… survived.

the limousin bullock strikes again !

Fucking hell. :eek:

Were you loading them on your own?

The ould fella had a heart op during the week, so twas me and the lorry man… the lorry man was late to the scene!

If some cunt was hearding me into a truck so I could be taken off to a concentration camp and killed, then I’d make a go for the fucker too.

hope you’re dad is ok…but only for your reflexes he’d have been on the receiving end of very bad news…

The sweetest grass in South Galway was waiting for these cunts.

Decision time anyway… Limousins have no place around here anymore.

My grandmother lives on a busy main road, I was out wedding around her front wall one day as young lad. Just as a truck was passing I heard a massive thud behind me. Looked around to see the canopy which covers the back of a truck trailer had come off and the metal pole that was supposed to be holding it on had smashed off the ground about 2 feet behind me. It would have taken the head clean off me.

Ah fuck it man, the lorry driver should be right there closing up the tailgate.

Had a very close shave one winter when i was 9; we used to stand on the massive concrete chunks they had put on the beach to stop coastal erosion playing chicken with the waves and i got caught and was nearly washed out. Was clinging like a limpet to a rock id managed to grab til the others got help and i was blue when they dragged me out

He’s sound thankfully… few weeks and he’ll be back in action. Makes you think though. Farming is a lethal activity at times…

Glad to hear he’s well, bud.

Lad’s take cattle for granted in everyday jobs, we used to move cattle by road to fields when i was young lad. Got kicked clean off my bike by a bullock one day, straight into a dyke.

You were quare lucky KP.

So tis true what they say about you - “even the tide wouldn’t take him out”
