I Hope I'm as fit as him at 90, and have as good a Puff to blow out the candles, as this Guy has.! 8-)

I wonder how many Northern members will understand him though. :lol: :whistle:

Don't think he is too bothered about Motorhome issues but I would say he is happy out.
Fair play to him :up:

He Said something like this. !!! I got it from one of the comments of the vid.


Basic transcript for the hard of hearing..
(not word for word, cuz f*ck that)

-What's the hardest job you have had?
-Everything I've done was hard work, yes, yes, sheering sheep, dipping sheep, dosing sheep, collecting them off the mountain with the dog.. etc..

-Were the farmers hard bosses in the old times?
-I met the hardest of them, the hardest of them. All they wanted you to do was get the work done. If they could put their leg up [over the wall] and go after you, they'd go in and choke you. That's all there was to that, on my heart (or struck may I be, in Irish) You weren't to be there, if you wanted your few bob ($$$) you had to work for it.

-And you don't drink?
-No, not at all you'd be burnt (broke) from it, or fags (cigarettes) either, I wouldn't look at them things, waste of time, robbery, robbery and they'll peg away your money for nothing.

-Are you interested in sport?
-You'll not see me go across a road to ''kicksy'' a ball, a waste of time, no good, no good.

-What are you interested in, in your free time?
-I'm interested in just working around here, keeping sheep and cattle. Sheep and cattle, patsy bull (rented). I can bale hay and everything, I can bale hay, throw it up into the lorry.

-What do you think of people coming to work hungover?
-Well if they did, I would blacken their arse with this stick, I couldn't drag them hard enough! They should have no jobs. {can't do any jobs} NO THEY CAN'T!!

-You live 4 miles out, did you cycle here?
-Cycle?! I get a drive in (a lift) most of the time

-You never drove a car did you?
-I did one time and I went into a ditch, the car went upside down, so I left it there.

-It's a nice thing on your birthday, you weren't expecting it?
-I wasn't expecting anything, because they didn't tell me anything. It was [good] alright but if I could get 4 or 5 hundred Euro into my fist I'd be all set.

Heckler: Give us money
-Who told you I had money?

Heckler: It's alright the taxman will take it
-He will not!!

(an aside to someone offering a lift) -I'm going with them two.

The End :)

:lol: :lol:

You know, in a very few short years, characters like him will be gone for ever. Being replaced by eejits threatening to sue for just about anything. So sad.
