Do you know whats a lovely sight to greet your eyes as you leave your abode upon a Sunday afternoon? Three fellas pissing against the courthouse.

Not even 5 o’clock on a Sunday. Not even dark. So clearly visible.

And okay, it wasn’t the actual courthouse they were watering, it was the barriers around it but still.

They’d passed a pub on the corner (they’d probably come from a pub). There are another three pubs all within walking staggering distance. Why did they feel the need to piss on the street?

Also, anyone want to translate this into English for me? I’m pretty sure that the first line Faoin bhliain 2031 beidh an Ghaeilge chomh láidir in Éirinn is a bhí sí am ar bith ón Ghorta i leith. means By 2031 the Irish language in Ireland will be as strong as it was at any time since the famine. But I aint sure, and I’m going to lunch. Have it on my desk for when I get back okay, otherwise I’ll have to attempt it myself.
