    Just sitting in Stephen's green with the usual packs of pidgeons etc.

    3 Americans point at a seagull floating on the pond,

    " It's a pidgeon alright but I don't know what kind... Golly it's a big one "


    Peter was at his level best not to collapse in front of them :D

    Americans :rolleyes:

    Thats so odd as they have them too:
    The gulls have a worldwide cosmopolitan distribution. They breed on every continent, including the margins of Antarctica, and are found in the high Arctic as well.

    Most gull species are migratory, with birds moving to warmer habitats during the winter, but the extent to which they migrate varies by species. Some species migrate long distances, like the Franklin's Gull, which migrates from Canada to wintering grounds in the south of South America.

    I don't know if any of you know of the comedy Leprauchan crossing at Ladies view near Killarney?

    Well the ring of Kerry buses stop there on their trip and I have witnessed crowds of Americans armed with cameras waiting to catch one run across.

    I asked a bus driver what the hell, he said he puts them up to it and they do be dead dissapointed when they don't get the chance to get one :rolleyes:

    Ya, not sure if you know the bolts, they have a big reinforced washer type thing that sits into the recess and then the stud is extended to sit flush with the wheel

    Actually here's a pic

    It's great, I like being able to pick my own stuff instead of being handed an absolute mess, good example being my front bumper when I got it

    Is this Kilcock breakers? Need to get parts and haven't been there in a few years and would like to go somewhere you can take the parts off etc. yourself. Whelans in The Heath used to let you but don't anymore.

    There's a CLK over there with a different wood effect to mine, might see if it's all there and in tact and switch it over, it's the dark effect and looks quite nice

    Yep.
    Ring them before you head out.
    I thought a drivers wing mirror for a polo mk4 would be fairly easy to find.
    Apparently not.
