    Jaysus:eek:

    Some deep experiences there !!

    My highlight was when I was strolling down Grafton of a sunny Sunday,when I got a sudden extreme push on the sphinct, which promised a ripe and slushy baton round in the chamber,and ready to fire.

    Like the pilot of the airliner looking for a likely area to ditch, I scanned the territory and spied a little breakfast place in Suffolk St.

    With the sphinct at splitting point and the magazine becoming more and more unstable I strode in, and noticed the one horse shitter vacant.

    I barely had time to slam the door, back up, drop the jocks, before I hosed out gouts of sludgy plop which blanketed the pan with steaming poop and left her like a badly plastered wall.

    What a fcuking relief.:p


    Nothing else came even close.

    Best day/moment? Not sure. Some of the Kildare GAA matches were pretty great this year. Oh, and skinny dipping in Spain during a thunder and lightning storm in the middle of the night, that was cool.

    Worst day/moment? Most of March was shit. My grandad dying. Every day I saw my granny and her Alzheimers had gotten worse - that's been hard to watch. Oh, and the day my little brother was knocked out during a football match. Standing there waiting for him to get up, and him not moving. Then the ambulance coming... It was horrible.
