    My best friend is getting married tomorrow. I’m driving down to the location in the west of Ireland. Hit a curb about 20 minutes and am sitting on a hard shoulder with a wonky tyre that is undriveable waiting for my insurance to send a local mechanic.

    Rehearsal dinner is in 70 minutes. I’m hot, sweaty, traffic is cat and about 50 mins away even if the car was driveable.

    Hey AH. Please entertain me...

    Be grateful you are OK, nobody got hurt and you now have the perfect excuse to miss said rehearsal dinner.

    PS.... Can you not change the tyre yourself or is the wheel banjacked?

    If this is your worst day ever then consider yourself lucky.

    Do you have a spare tyre?

    If so, you could probably do with losing some weight. Go for a walk until the mechanic arrives.

    I believe the “rehearsal” part refers to the priest given a “run through” of what’s going to happen on the day,

    The dinner is just the family, and wedding “party”, having a nice meal after.

    The tide is turning…

    Another was a Mazda 6 flying along, glen of the downs then decided oh I'll turn here and went straight into the crash barrier.... Destroyed the front of the car.

    A waste of money and absolutely ostentatious bllsh1t

    I bet it wasn't the groom's Idea, another poor bstrd for the gallows...

    A pagan style wedding a few hawthorn tree's and a marquee would be more like it, and a bonfire night with barbeques and entertainment... inside and outside...

    Wtf is wrong with people these days...

    Borrrrrinnnnngggg

    So your going to rehearse eating your dinner? What are you all? Stupid??? Why would you need to rehearse something like that? Have you never eaten before? It’s pretty much the same routine as always.

    In the meantime why not watch a video on how to change a wheel. It’s not hard but then again if your the type that needs to rehearse eating a fücking dinner then there’s probably no point.
