I laughed alot today, alot.

L-M

Up in Salthill today, taking pictures of swans, and then I noticed this. Laughed a bit, then I looked and saw the tax was out since the 03-07, and no sign of nct. Then I thought, how did it last so long? Anywho. I took a pic, and went back to taking pictures of swans:



Then, I noticed some one running past me. They ran to the back of the car first, I watched as they got into the drivers seat. Of course, I took pics.



Lots of turning over, and the car wasn't starting. Lots of us began to laugh, pity there were lots of photographers taking pictures of swans at the time:P.


Then she started. Lots of wheel spinning and angry, spluttering revving, and it reverses back a bit, and frees itself!! You can see they very confused swan laughing in this pic. You can also see the water pouring out the door.


As he parked, he really revved the ****e of out it. He stared over at me laughing, I couldn't help but laugh!

A cheery wave, and off he drives home! LOL


Ah, the times to have a camera with you.

Some people really don't think when they leave their car somewhere,

Hopefully nothing leaked out of the car and into the water around them swans though.

LOL at the water coming out of the door!

PS stop being a girl taking pictures of swans.

I bought a fancy camera. I saw people taking pics of swans, so I thought it was the right thing to do. Haven't a clue what I'm doing haha:D

I did get into a very interesting conversation with a fella who travelled from Dublin to take a picture of a pigeon with white tail feathers... ya... Hmmm...

In fairness, there's about 3 signs there saying not to park on the slip due to the tide.

LM, you know you just revealed your swan fetish?????

92G xxxx- reported for out of date tax.

Nice 1 for the tip, OP.

Reminds me of the time me and my dad were down by the river in Corrib Village about 10 years ago and we heard this "ahhhhhhhhhhh!" getting louder and louder. Turned around and saw this girl hurtling down the hill on her bike and went straight into the river!
I don't think I ever laughed so much, poor girl was up to her knees in water and when we asked her if she was alright, she couldn't speak as she had the breath knocked out of her, she just started grunting and dragged her bike out and started walking back up the hill. :pac:

Back tax surely would be worth more than the car itself, especially in its current condition.

I didn't really report it. I wouldn't even know how. I just noticed that the OP tried to blur the reg in the 2nd photo, but then forgot in one of the latter pics - so I was just letting him know I saw it...

And I'm a woman FTW. Wrong post much?

Back to the swans, ladies

Limerick Man, when did this swan obsession start? Was it their big feathery arses? Were you on ducks before that?

(And isn't sheep the next step up?)

P.S. Gudluck with the 450 camera- start saving though for some quality lenses- theyr the expensive part!

Can't believe nobody mentioned dipping headlights or flooding the engine.

Not to bring down the tempo but you wouldn't be joking about that if you were working the scene of that accident like 2 of my buddys were.

LOl, how'd you know it's a 450?

I've a lend of two lenses atm, need to get used to bringing them with me, and the tripod lol.

Every pic has "exif" info which is stored with it. It just says what camera took the pic, mode, settings like iso exposure etc.
I got a 40d a few months back- just trying to save some spare cash to buy a good lens for it!

Lol classic there's a sign at that exact spot warning people not to park there because of the tides.

(Its Claddagh by the way, not Salthill )

For a moment there while reading your post, I taught you were going to say the swans got into the car. Like there was an open door etc. Swanstra :pac:

Thanks! I was going to take a picture of the sign, but I got too caught up in taking pictures of the car. When the lad came along I backed off a bit to take pics without him seeing, but he blatently stared me into the face (camera) a few times:P

Edit: Post of the day! woo i've accomplished something in life :pac:

Are you the Internet Police or something? 'Nice 1 for the tip' - WTF?

-Edit- See you were only joking, but still a pretty lame statment to make tbh, makes you look like you've really got nothing exciting going on in your life (But who am I do judge?!)

So you're fully aware I was joking, but you still say it "makes you look like you've really got nothing exciting going on in your life" - makes no sense...
