It turns out that he mispelled, and had actually reserved 'fourhoursemen.com' instead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can dress up as a thief and rob all the houses. That's a boring one, as the Gardaí don't arrive. Or you can rob cars and joyride, and they'll appear and say "Is this your vaaa-HIKKLE, sir?" Or you can dress up as a Garda, and have coffee in a replica Blarney Woollen Mills cafe! Since it's in Italy you have to wave your arms every time you speak. 3 hours ago, PorkyP said: Sounds like a gay bar in Dublin or something.....

He was apparently quite an unpleasant man to be around which certainly didn't help matters and allowed the jokes to fester One can only imagine some parents were definitely having a laugh when they named their kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
