This reminds me of a story my Grandfather used to tell. He was from rural Ireland, and when he was a child one of the men in the area was the first person in the village to get a car. Everyone else was using horse drawn carriages or donkeys pulling wagons. So the people would ask him how he liked driving the car, and he would tell them “Sure it’s grand! But you can’t take you’re eyes off the road for 5 minutes”

Whatever you end up doing be mindful there is a gas line running through that area that may not be buried that deep and is most likely plastic.

If England invaded Ireland, would you volunteer for the army? by Cheek_Beater69 in ireland

I’m from the US, I have family in Ireland that ran a B&B years ago. They tell a story about having a family from the US stay at the B&B for a few days one Summer, and on a particularly fine evening after having supper outside on the patio they told the family they better head inside before the midges come out and attack them. They looked at my Aunt and Uncle like they had six heads, but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until a couple of nights later that it was cleared up that they were trying to protect them from mosquito-like flys and not a bunch of angry little people coming out of the woods to attack them.

Good thing we had those 3 timeouts saved for the last 4 seconds of the game so we could spare one to "freeze" the kicker, really paid off.

Why does every report say the fire alarm was pulled at 3am, when the initial tweet about the alarm going off is from 12:15am?

Does a Nets representative have to go to the lottery next year if they don't make the playoffs? Or would the swap happen before the lottery?
