    I'd imagine I could save a few pennies if I lived in a hand-me-down caravan.

    I'd go out and spend it on fancy cars and getting trashed.

    This is an amazing troll by a traveller in disguise.

    This is ridiculous.

    The traaaaavellers I've seen recently have been cycling no-handed on bikes or upstairs on the bus.

    They extorted every pot of gold from the entire leprechaun community before killing them off in the late 18th century, they disguised this holocaust by burying the leprechaun bodies in those ridiculously big knacker graves.

    they also stole the leprechaun accent and have used it ever since.

    I've never seen anyone cycling upstairs on the bus, do they pretend it's a buggy to sneak it onto the bus?

    Shooting him the first time was one thing.
    Reloading and shooting him a second time as he crawled along the ground probably
    falls outside the domain of self-defence though.
