    Meeeeental stuff

    Got blocked driving down the church road by two Garda jeeps and a fully tooled up soldier. First thought was fcuk me these drink drive checkpoints are getting scary. But soon found out they were removing a suspect device from under a car. Watched the bomb desposal team with the robot do their thing.

    Was like a movie!!!! (a scary one admitedly)

    okay how many people check underneath their car before they drive?

    why would you even think to do that unless you are involved in dodgy activity and then you get everything you deserve.

    one of my friends husband checks underneath his car all the time but he is in the PSNI, so he might have a reason but still
