Well done to that man. The Dutchman was a sneaky smartarse. Should have got a month in the clink to make an example of him. That man is entitled to have a night out with his poor wife without some lowlife causing him that upset

Saw this on another forum n the same subject, you don't mess with west Cork people

Wild west folk know how to treat tight fisted cyclists. Reminds me of the late lamented Phil Harrington of Blue Loo pub, Glengarriff fame. Two french cyclists came into the pub out of the pissing rain and proceeded to dry out themselves and their gear in front of the roaring fire. Bought nothing, not even a glass of something.

As they were leaving having dried out, Phil came on duty and was appraised of the situation by the young maid behind the bar. 'Hang on there a minute, chers amis, I have something for ye.' said Phil. Cyclists waited for the Irish hospitality. Phil returned with two buckets of water which he threw over the frenchies, quipping 'Now ye can **** off, the same way ye came in.'

Sacre bleu.

Years ago I remember speaking to an old man in the same part of the world, who sadly had taken to walking to the local as his bike had been stolen so many times ...
