Default The tolling in ireland

well a few last minute private messages and the cast of little britain go for meet and greet part 2.
well, the wife wanted a weekend away, and castlebar west coast was the idea, but it didn't bust a bubble for her,, she wanted to hide away and sleep, not houre' it round achill island sight seeing and boozing.
so cupcake announces his arrival, but no plans for up north for a ride out,,
so Dooooblin' it was.
set off fri 10am, stopped for lunch, through doooblin to get stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam for the "tall ships" and 750,000 visitors.
Hotel about 4pm.
dinner at 7pm with a couple of pints and sleeping for 10pm. (age)

------------

saturday, big fry and straight out down the beautiful coast to wicklow and roundabout area. up to hotel about 2pm,
cupcake was to be there about 2.30.
- gawd! we talked some *h**e.. drunk a few pints.
and passed some hours. (shirt trade convention)
full of intentions, we went our ways,
and i got the wife her dinner, plans to hit the town for 9pm and enjoy the music, which ended up watching big brother and falling asleep. 3am and i was up , wide awake.
-----
sunday morning fry to set off, waited a moment for cupcake to call with another shirt for my beer belly, (fits great b.t.w.)
and get a wee pic (below)

and i heads for home. was in for 2pm,
and straight out again to carrickfergus to treat everyone else for evening tea as we got away. home about 7.30 pm,, and passed out on the sofa a few hours from exhaustion(so much for the weekend break lol)
then on here to cap up the bull to let you know there is life outside of bikes(or not)



OOPS!!! not that pic,,

I will make every effort to join you (seriously)
Guy Martin is the fasted diesel mechanic on the planet - what an enigma he is - and he rides that Suzuki like a man possessed. Let's hope he has some luck soon - it's about time, he's surely good enough to win.
And it would def take both you old codgers to hold Guy down.............
hehe
