Buy A Biker A Pint (Of Guinness) ..

[sunny-dave]

... since I've been outed as being in the Emerald Isle ...

I'll make my annual plea for friendly ABers to share a pint with me.

[ Actually (given the draconian drink/drive laws over here) the thread should be titled "Buy an Audi Driver a Lime and Soda" - but that doesn't have the same ring to it ]

Anyhoo - if you are anywhere near Westport, Kerry or the Wicklow Mountains and in a convivial mood, just email me at [email protected] and we can arrange to meet and assassinate the characters of any other ABers who are not within earshot ..

Are the drink drive laws that tough then, Dave.

[237SJ]

The last paragraph demonstrates why I would never, ever want to meet up with anyone from AB. I hope you have a good evening though

[sunny-dave]

Tony - they are very strictly applied - unless you have the requisite relatives in the Gardai (allegedly) ...

unless you have the requisite relatives in the Gardai (allegedly) ...


Ahhh ;-)

[sunny-dave]

237sj - it's all just harmless craic, with tongue firmly in cheek.. you'd love us if you met us ... :)

[237SJ]

Yes, I probably would SD

[gness]

All will be sorted in time for your visit, Tony.....for a price.... ;-)

[tonyav]

There's a plain Brown envelope in the post, gness.

[gness]

Thank you...all will be fine now......and poteen...how many bottles?..x

Have you noticed in your travels through Ireland a fada on some of the words.. Sláinte and Gardaí, it's zero tolerance relation to a member of the Gardaí or not for a reason, we need to cut down on road fatalities due to driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

[tonyav]

About a dozen cases, gness.

[tonyav]

we need to cut down on road fatalities due to driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Is it that bad, eanceoil ?.

[eanceoil]

Not that we have the draconian drink drive laws in place - stats show less deaths on our roads, there are the few chancers

[sunny-dave]

Eanceoil - I can't do accents on the IPad - but I do know they are important and would normally make the effort.

My comments about drink/driving were flippant - the culture over here in Ireland does seem to be changing (albeit slowly in the Wild West) - and a good thing too.

[eanceoil]

I know you are in fun mood Sunny dave, and I was going to say, I'd buy you a drink if you were in midlands

[gness]

Ean....I have noticed a difference......maybe it's not all over.....but what I have seen so far on this trip is a much more responsible attitude to drink driving....

And isn't Ireland clean!...Lord....it's a treat to drive across this country....bliss...sheer bliss....x

[eanceoil]

There is a huge difference gness - I was called away there,you're probably hob nobbing it in the residents lounge, are ye doing the Siege of Ennis yet?have a great night and remember it's never late until twelve, then it's getting early ;} The Tidy Towns initiative is brilliant, sponsored by one of the large food stores - not the German ones

[gness]

The Tidy Towns is great, Ean......and the way everyone takes responsibility..it's lovely to see...
I am having a bit of a quiet night......Westport Quay has been wonderfully busy for the last few days......didn't go to the Hooley in the House...but could hear it from here....and I walked lots today. Just stunning scenery and birds...with only the odd little shower.....
Will walk into Westport town tomorrow...along the old railway......and maybe a pint of G in Matt's place....x

[eanceoil]

sounds good to me - enjoy your stay
