Heās a lovely fella,I met him in Bekan at the London game last spring.Great to see him doing so well.
This is an odd tale. An electrician whoās done a mountain of work for me over the years installed electronic gates for the deputy and payment wasnāt forthcoming (allegedly). Drives jeep through the gates and makes shit of an outbuilding - fails to get the jeep to move and Gardai arrive. Headbuts Garda 1 to the face and has a WWF moment with Garda 2 in the flowerbeds. Result - arrested.
I owed this lad about ā¬800 one time for about a year but it was back in the halcyon days of the Tiger and while I asked him about it several times, he waved it off as funds were plentiful before we got straightened out.
The Sergeant in the town was allegedly giving this lads estranged wife a dart which lead our hero to dump a trailer load of rubble at the door of the barracksā¦ā¦Heās out and about anyway I hearā¦ā¦Gas cunts as they say.
He sounds like tremendous fun
This bit went viral if Iām not mistaken?
Correct
Youād want to be having a few pints with him and get him started on his time in the FCA. Heās a funny as fuck but thereās a wire after coming loose upstairs.
Hāon the lovely Edwina - a well deserved accolade for her tireless efforts.
Weāre likely to be leaders in the field of athletics in the futureā¦ā¦
Sheās a busy woman.
Boundless levels of energy. The very essence of an alright sort.
Itās the only accolade CoS will see over the weekend ![]()
Thatās a tremendous story. Deception, riding, vandalism and violence. No wonder Mcgaheren was able to harvest such rich material from the place.
McGahern confined himself too much youād imagine. Had he been more convivial and outgoing heād have run into the kind of sorts that brighten up my day on a continuous basis. Instead he was perceived as a ādangerous cunt with the penā and folk tended to steer clear of him.
Many feared a veiled appearance in a future novel and accusations of molestations of goats and sheep being levelled at them. ![]()
Itās true weāve been blessed with some outstanding characters over the years but as the song says āyear after year the numbers get fewer - some day no one will march here at allā. Terrific oulā sorts every one of themā¦
I suppose you could argue if McGahern had been more convivial he may not of been as good a writer. A lot of talented people are contrary fuckers.
Itās sort of sad but perfectly understandable that he was not very popular in his home place.
Thatās unreal money raised. A great community effort. Fair play all round.
Hans Christian Andersons trip to Charles Dickens is a good example of a writer being a dick
They put some work into it to be fair.
Iām assuming itās Eltjo van der Laan youāre dealing with. If it is I can confirm that heās an alright sort. Heās not cheap or given to haggling but a regular guy. Weāve had transactions in the past and Iāve found him 100%.
Are you making another table?
