    Anyone know the Diesel Queen?
    Heavy set woman that kinda looks like a messed up goth & isn't fond of wearing underwear, or much at all really.
    She could be regularly found wandering the main Dublin-Cork road hitch hiking from truckers mainly.

    It could be pissing rain or minus 10 & she still would be wearing the skimpiest clothes possible.

    Anyone know if she's still around or what happened to her?

    Strangest thing I ever saw was a huge fúck off caterpillar - massive thing crawling across the lane, all hairy-like.

    Well, you asked.

    Seen a car trundling down my road with a fully inflated bouncy castle on the roof - fairly big one too!! no ropes or anything just being held by the passengers and the driver with their arms out the windows!! No idea how far they had travelled with it!!

    I was driving past the playground on my road with a friend of mine in the passenger seat. As we drove past the playground my mate shouts ~
    "f*cking HELL! did you see that?"
    "no..."
    "there's 2 kids back there in the playground and they are standing over another kid lying flat on the ground.."
    "Ya so what?"
    "well the kid on the ground has his pants down by his ankles and one of the kids standing over him was sticking a hurley up his arse!!!"

    Now I should have drove back and helped the kid as my mate was convinced of what he saw.... but I didn't, I was hungry and heading for Supermacs

    Was going to Knock one night with my brother, it was around half two in the morning or so and out of what seemed like no where this old woman dressed in complete white on a bike and she just stared at us while we drove back .
    Was a freaky drive :P

    Last week I was standing outside my house when a girl drives past in a peugeot 206 with a 2 seater couch on the roof, It wasn't tied down instead she had her hand out the window holding it.

    Live in Wexford now and regularly see a really old guy with long white hair and long beard bringing a goat for a walk (lead and all) on the Enniscorthy/New Ross Road. He's often topless.

    Hahahahah.

    I knew it wouldn't be long till he made it on to the internet. Seen him once before.

    When I lived in Hackney a regular sight was a local fellow on a horse who used to dress in full cowboy gear - stetson, boots & spurs, chaps, the full works.
    Walking beside the horse on the footpath would be his missus dressed in full cowgirl gear.

    years ago, was going somewhere with my mother on the bus, it was about 6.30am. Saw an old man walking on the main road totally naked, poor fella was either sleep walking or had some type of illness like dementia.
    Often wondered did someone find him

    The last part sounds very menacing?

    I stayed in Frankfurt for a while last summer and there was this guy in my area who would go about his daily business completely naked! Turns out he was quite well known

    3 things that will always stick in my memory are a van blowing up outside my house, a lad being shot dead through the window of his house and full on swat kicking down the neighbours door!! And it wasn't even that bad an area!

    Naked George! My friend introduced me to him when I was there in January. Nippy weather, and all he did was put on a scarf.

    Seen two dogs riding each other on the side of the road and they got stuck, Eventually a large crowd gathered including the cops but couldn't do much. A local vet was called and separated the two muts and they ran off with their tails between their legs.

    A basin of cold water always solves that, I had the same problem with my dogs a while back. :D

    A car flying up and down the road. No doors or anything and two scumers sitting on plastic bottle crates. Was hoping it would take the corner too quick and they'd fall out

    I'm living in Wexford now and have seen this guy also! He has a full blown tan from walking along topless, the likes of which you wouldn't achieve if you spent 27/7 on a sun bed!

    Was turning the car around on a narrow road out in the country a few years ago so had to go up a guys driveway a little bit to make the turn. A guy came running out of the house with a pitchfork of some kind, he was buck naked except for a dirty shirt he had on

    Last I heard was that she killed herself..

    She appeared in my local pub one wednesday afternoon, promptly perched herself upon the pool table and "pocketed"** a few of the balls.

    She then got kicked out and fell on the ground close to my house, where she flashed the gash at the passing rush hour traffic, for an hour! until the guards brought her away.

    By jesus she was a rotten pig of a woman though, used to be seen sh!tting in the ditches outside kildare town on the monasterevin road.

    She used to give handjobs for a fiver.. apparently


    **Just to state the obvious, she shoved 5 pool balls up her gowel.

    Not that strange but - driving in Australia many years ago we were on some back roads and ended up behind a ‘ute’ which is basically an Ausie version of a pick-up truck. In the back of the ute was a large dog. He stood right in the middle of the ute facing the direction of travel.
    Road was really twisty and we couldn’t overtake so we spent an hour starring at this dog’s arse as he leaned into the turns like a motorcycle speedway racer.

    Was driving down a slip road onto the M50 north bound last week, and I witnessed the aftermath of a crash between a car that had been going down the same slip road, but who was met by an oncoming vehicle, namely a car driving up the slip road towards him, resulting in a 'head on' :confused:

    The mind boggles.
