I used to collect knives, I bought loads of them over the years from the army surplus stores along Capel Street. Some were military issue, if rather cheaply put together and others were rather more elaborate with decorated handles and odd-shaped blades. Used the military ones when camping and generally out and about the Irish countryside (
we used the free transport of the day: hopping onto flat-bed trucks at either the bottom of the Naas road for south-west or else Conyngham road serving the north-west; hiding under the canvas coverings until we reached Naas or Navan, from where we'd hitch rides around the country to have adventures). We were pulled by the cops more than once but they never took the knives away once they saw we had sleeping bags and a small tent.
We didn't kill anyone, and we only ever wounded ourselves while chopping wood for fires to heat up the beans and toast.
Never brandished a knife in company, never threatened to stab or cut anyone either.
Warm beans and toast for supper tasted great after a day on the road.
Those were such simple times.
Look at the state of ye now.
You wouldn't know much about it though..
I know - I'm far too happy and content in my life up here.
You just read "man" stabbed "man" in the fake news media
No, I sourced the video and watched it for myself.
It's just I'm trying to figure out what might be called '
the actual news media' in your view - in the same way my music thread is actually about music and yours is simply peddling a bunch of rather hilarious lies about me.
Where do
you get your news from, Shay?
Please don't tell us it's Arsefield's and that interminable bore Clark/Connolly, with whom you've dancing a lot with of late?
