He collected a whopping ten thousand dollars for his 3 month odyssey

A colleague of mine bought a 200 year old house grade 1 listed recently, and was extremely expensively renovating with architects breathing down his neck, when they found a skeleton in the foundations. Whole thing held up for a full crime scene job. Turns out the skeleton was as old as the house and the conclusion reached was that a labourer died on site, so they just threw the poor bugger into the foundations and kept building. Said it wasnā€™t rare.

Did you ever read the David Walliams kids books. The Worlds worst children? One of the stories is about a child who counts for their whole life until they die.

If heā€™d just set up a spoof GoFundMe page promising to help Izzy Folau learn Contract Law he would have raised that in an afternoon.

Fanta was created during WW2 in Nazi Germany

I remember the day, the Bear Oā€™Shea
Fell into a concrete stairs
What the ganger man said, When he saw him dead
Well its wasnt what the rich call prayers

Iā€™m a navvy short was the one retort
That reached unto my ears
When the going is rough, well you must be tough
With McAlpineā€™s fusiliers

David Walliams is an unmitigated cunt.
Avoid his semi literate Roald Dahl knockoffs on principle.

That the cliffs of Dooneen are actually near Ballybunion and not on the west coast of Clare as I always assumed.

:joy: itā€™s in the lyrics

What do you mean?

Doesnā€™t sound like a good book.

Take a view oer the water fine sights youā€™ll see there
Youā€™ll see the high rocky slopes on the West coast of Clare
The towns of Kilrush and Kilkee can be seen
From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen

Like all things Clare, best viewed from a distance.

But if I thought they were in Clare then the same could apply? Its certainly not obvious from those lyrics they are in Kerry.

Iā€™m glad I found that out now.
