    Bush porn!!:eek::D Ahhh those where the days. God I'm old. BUt still WTF was it with Jazz Magazines showing up in shrubbery in the olden days?

    Best thing I've found? Well I found a load of fossils when I was a kid, better yet some Neandertal stone tools I found on holiers in Spain and France. That was V cool(for me). I found a rusted to feck gun wrapped in the remains of a sack while fishing once. It had been a Mauser C96(Han Solo's pistol for the geeks out there :)). Oh and a Byzantine cross/reliquary that was a thousand years old. Still have it.

    Money? Not a single pfennig I'm afraid, nor cool phones or anything like that.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Was on holidays years ago and got robbed. After a miserable day cancelling my cards etc, I decided I'd go for a couple of beers to cheer myself up. Found over 200 quid on the ground along the way. No one around, so just pocketed it

    Shrubbery is a great word.

    So hard to slip it into conversation these days.

    As a child, watching a digger doing some excavation work, I found an old antique bottle....then another....and another...until my friend and I had gathered up around 250 old bottles (including the old crockery beer bottles with publican's names on them).
    The location may have been some kind of turn of the century rubbish tip
    I cherished them, unti I came home from school one day, and discovered my mother had tipped them all back in the rubbish.
    I like to remind her of this trauma as often as possibe.

    The OH uncle found a bag with over 60000 quid in it on the side of a road. The honest citizen he was, he handed it into a garda station. The owner of the money was never found but it mysteriously vanished. We all thought it was drug money.

    If that was me, i'd keep it assuming no-one saw me taking it. Feck honesty if its drug money.(Episode of Sopranos springs to mind!)

    I would have kept myself too. Would have had a great time with it.


    Stuff I have found was a phone and €50. I did lose my wallet once while in college. It had over 300 in it. Thanks to some nice person it was handed into the college and I got it back with all the money inside.

    Strange how people return rings, phones and money, but don't return porn stashes.
    I'm specifically talking about my stash, which I hid in a hedge near Cootehill in Cavan several years ago.
