Post-festival litter in Athlone

a crowd of TriAthletes mill about in their green swim hats, goggles and wet suits on the banks of the river shannon in athlone

Just lookit ‘em there - looking so geared-up, so athletic, so noble in their pursuit of personal challenge.

It was the morning after the triAthlone and the munchkin and I were heading home from mass at the friary when a cry rang out from a nearby balcony. A boisterous group of musicians had carried their celebrations through the night unscathed into mid-morning. One opted to join us as we trekked up the river and across town for breakfast.

Doesn’t look like there are many good places to board around the big smoke . . .

Irish joke of the day - Yankee Policeman in Ireland

A US police officer was on exchange in County Tipperary in Ireland with the Garda as part of a new law enforcement program between the two countries. One day the sergeant informed him they’d be stopping cars looking for suspicious characters.

The day was going along with nothing to report until an older man pulled up in a small Ford van. He seemed agitated and the American officer was immediately suspicious.

“Where are you travelling to today?” asked the officer. The older man angrily mumbled something the officer couldn’t understand and tightened his hands on the wheel. The alarm bells went off in the officer’s head and he reached for his baton, backing away from the car and saying,

“Sir, I can’t understand you - could you please step out of the vehicle.” At this the man became quite angry and turned to the officer, yelling at him,

“I SAID I’ve just come from KILLING A MAN and now I’m off to KILL A BOY!! Now feck off and let me on with me business!!”

The officer immediately arrested the older man on suspicion of murder and brought him in for questioning. Instead of the praise he expected, the Irish garda sergeant uncuffed the suspect as soon as he saw him and, after just a few words, let him go with an apology before sternly taking the American officer aside.

Irish Joke of the day - The collision

One night on the small, dark Irish country roads an Englishman and an Irishman were driving recklessly and collided, demolishing both of their cars. Amazingly, the two men emerged from the wreck unscathed. Astonished by their luck, both agree to put aside their dislike of each other from that moment forward.

The Irishman at this point fetches a bottle of 12-year-old Jameson from his car and hands it to the Englishman who gratefully accepts it, removes the top and hefting the bottle in a toast, cries,

“May the English and the Irish live forever in peace and harmony!” Still shaky from the wreck, the Englishman takes several hearty swallows, draining a good half of the bottle before handing it back to Paddy.

Irish Joke of the Day - Escapee

A man escaped from a mental institution in Ballinasloe. He ran until he got to Mullingar, at which point he located a public phone and rang the hospital back in Ballinasloe.

“Hello?” says the receptionist.

“Eh, Hello,” says your man, “Can you tell me is there someone in room number 68?”

This week’s pint face is courtesy of the Bootsn’all boys over on the other side of the pond. Getting a well-poured pint over there ain’t easy - fair play to the lads:
