Paging the French Runners

Well, deposit paid at whatever the dreadful exchange rate is now.
Certainly it doesn't match up to what I calculated originally.

So, the bad the final invoice charge will obviously be higher
than originally envisioned.

Now, the good I've managed to get the ferries for just £30
return, which is a pretty good deal. And we'll all be on the one boat
- well, those of us who aren't making their own arrangements.

So lose some, win some.

 

Nice.... well done that man.

 

on the news today, shops in Newry were offering a 1:1 exchange rate

traders in Dundalk seem a little miffed

 

You think you've got it bad? I just exchanged a 100 euro note and only got
two 50 euro notes back....

 

One of the NI radiographers who lives in Newry told us they have had 6 hour
traffic queues from the Republic to get into the two shopping centres there,
with people coming from Cork!

We cut those cunts adrift for some pretty good reasons!

 

Tog can you amend my booking to include the ferry. Daft not to at that rate,
whether I use it or not!

 

Done.

U da man.

 

and now I'm doing my penance. 3 new women working in our offices. It
transpires, all church going papists.

The fourth is a Muslim.

My cup runeth over.
I *really* don't like religion.

 

that reminds me of a bloke I used to go to school with. He was always
a bit rebellious, dressed a bit punky, the usual underage drinking
etc.

Then one day he got a haircut and told us that he's joined the RUC.

"****, Why?" we asked.

His answer:

"Because they'll give me a gun to shoot taigs with".

You really have my sympathy. The discrimination laws are all stacked
against you; you won't be able to as much as fart.

I'd start with a Darwin Fish or FSM on your car or bike, and if you
wear a tie how about this one?

Well of course I do have FSM t-shirts and discrimination be damned, I
already told them exactly what I think of their stinking sky fairy
delusions, so they stopped discussing Mass in the office.

My colleague Robin mentioned she lives next door to I.Paisley Snr.

A former workmate was at the NW200 this year, with the Paul Bird
Motorsport team. The Rt. Hon. The Revd. Dr. Ian Paisley (really!)
paid them a visit; apparently he's quite a fan of the NW200, so can't
be all that bad. One of the riders (can't remember who now) said to
Paisley "I like your hat", whereupon Paisley looked up, solemnly
removed his trademark headwear and placed it on the head of the rider,
saying "Then you have it sonny", smiled and walked on.

 

I was speaking to a chap, the other week, who sits directly in front of Dr
Paisley in Parliament. Reverse Alex Ferguson hairdryer treatment,
apparently.
