There was a bridge then you had to go up and cross to get to the restaurants/shops/toilet etc. You have to pay 70 cents for the Jax. Which explained the lad shítting into the 500 ML Coca Cola cup next to his Lorry. There was urine and faeces all over the place as nobody could be bothered to walk that far to the toilet and pay 70 cents.

The Irish have no grasp of conserving water because they are not charged for its personal usage (yet) apart from businesses. I would like to see household water charges introduced for that reason. No, and I don't accept the common argument that it's already been paid for by tax. It should be charged by meter.

The one time none of them could bring her, they asked him to bring her. He wasn't a poor student or anything, he was doing well for himself. I heard afterwards that the mother said she'd rather go on her hands and knees to the hospital than ask him to bring her. The stingy miserable git.
