If your posts are actually true and not all a big wind-up, I don't know why they keep letting you come back to visit tbh. I'd imagine the festival trip was planned to coincide with your arrival and so he could avoid you!

I arrived back in Ireland last Friday for some R&R. I drove from the airport down to Galway, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that my brother had headed off to a festival with a load of his “mates”.

They arrived back this evening, and marched en masse into the house. Firstly, they looked wretched. Sickly and pale. Secondly, they were boasting about how “wrecked” and “f*cked up” they got over the weekend. I was only half listening to their obvious and dull stories about the “mad one” they had gotten up to over the weekend. My interest was piqued though when it emerged that my brother had found a large bag of weed on the ground beside their tent. They told me it was very strong “stuff”, and I should join them in the pub as they’d rolled a few to share afterwards. I politely declined their offer, as I genuinely can’t think of anything else I’d rather less do.

They showed me the bag – it’s about half a sandwich bag filled with very strong smelling dried plant material. Then, with their usual lack of imagination, they decided the best thing to do after a weekend of drinking and drug taking was to head down to the local pub on a Monday evening to drink pints, before smoking marijuana at the side of a river. These men are in their early 30’s for pity's sake!

The bag of weed is in my brother’s backpack. I’ve decided some tough love is in order, so I’m going to destroy the weed. What I want to know is what is the very approximate value of this? I’m going to make my brother make a donation to a charity of my choice – The Barretstown Camp – proportional to the value of the destroyed weed. I’m sick of him taking advantage of my Father’s generosity and living this sort of feckless existence. I don’t intend to visit the police, as he is my brother, and you cannot choose your siblings. He does need to learn a lesson though.

Wind up merchant or not, you are the best thing about this message board. Your posts are tremendous.

Wow. Thank god the likes of you are a dieing breed! Seriously, get the bong out and relax for yourself.

lazybones32 · 22-06-2015 09:21PM

Yeah, big bags of weed get left behind on such a regular basis. 'Cos big bags of weed are so cheap and plentiful.

Is it me or do you get a lot of R&R breaks?

I enjoy reading the OP's posts and look forward to him being here for a long while.

*raises glass to OP*

Magico Gonzalez · 22-06-2015 09:22PM

When making him pay up for the donation I recommend using a thumb screw, if not rotten fruit and the stocks.

Do people actually believe that story?

Course not.

Aonghus is our resident Walter Mitty who has a sauna in his apartment overlooking the Rhine and drives a BMW 5 series but goes to Galway for R&R.

He's actually a charming soul in a snotty kind of way but he isn't really ...you know...real.

He's as real as Russia is an innocent actor on the world stage.

At least his whacky persona has some depth.

I do miss the North Korean shill. He had something...

Channel your inner Patrick Bateman and take an axe/chainsaw to them.

You know, since you're trying really hard to be seen like a part of Mr. Bateman's circle.

Best punishment, give him 3 Hail Marys and 2 Our Fathers.

And surely a flight to a serene and gentle hideaway in say the Adriatic coast would have been cheaper and quicker than flying to Dublin and then fighting your way across the country to the Wesht (that you admittedly loathe) for your "R&R", nein?

What was wrong with a week in the Ardennes or some guesthouse in Baden?

Missed Mammy's fryups and roasted spuds as opposed to knackwurst and solvite dumplings?

:pac:

PS.....dispose of the weed. I hope your brother has a Boards account so he and his mates can tell us about the hiding they gave you, Mary Poppins.

I miss my Mother's fry-ups and roast dinners terribly. I also love visiting home - you seem to mistake me not wanting to live there with not wanting to visit it. There's nothing I like more than heading home, playing a game of golf with my Father, watching a hurling match, making him dinner.

I'd suggest that if you find my posts so angering that you use the boards.ie feature to ignore me.

I've had a few difficult weeks to be honest. Just getting some head space, and getting back in touch with nature. I'll be back on the trading floor before you know it. Better than ever.

Yeah

This time last year he was telling me how he was hoping the bank would give him a mortgage on a one bed "apartment" in Clontarf now all of a sudden he is driving top of the range cars and scoffing down fois gras with high falutin German bankers.

If I didn't know better I'd say that you were deliberately trying to provoke.

Chap needs guidance, If I were you I'd invite him to spend some time with you in Frankfurt. Maybe you could pull a few strings and get him a job in your firms IT department.

22-06-2015 10:28PM

As your brother is unlikely to be able to afford a donation to the worthy cause Aongus, why don't you suggest he do some gardening for your parents? Trade weed for weeds, as it were.

Better yet replace the weed with weeds and laugh and watch as he thinks he gets high just like people who think they are getting "buzzed" before realising they are drinking non alcoholic beer!:P

Op don't be a dickhead and leave his weed where it is. It's not your choice what your brother does yano
