    Looked out the window to see a huge hole in the pier. Mam shakily opens the door a minute later, white as a sheet. She had meant to put her foot on the brake but put it on the accelerator instead. She then proceeded to give out to my sister and myself and tried to blame us for putting her under pressure even though we weren't in the car with her.

    I'm confused. I realise you might be quite young but it was illegal to drink drive even in the prehistoric days of the mid 90s and most right thinking people even way back then disapproved of drink drivers never miind someone who was so pissed he didn't realise he was not in own house! I wouldn't go telling that story and expecting laughs.

    My daddy spent years of his free time building a underground basement that nobody knew about. I mean what purpose could that have possibly served? Then he destroyed it when he heard some other man in Austria had already done what he had done. Stupid isn't the word for the oul man.

    Heard a top comedian tell a very amusing account of a similar story and thought maybe the OP had nicked it.


    Can imagine the pc brigade would be a whole lot of fun to bring to a comedian...

    That's a great story, basically you're telling us that your family are a shower of dangerous, irresponsible spastics. I wonder how your post reads to someone whose life/family has been destroyed by gob****es such as your lot. This is why I hate this ****ing country.
