Cars dumped in a field
Near the Inniscarra Dam on the River Lee I went walking one afternoon in March 2005. Apart from the gorgeous scenery and the rolling hills and lovely fluffy clouds of a bright day I spotted two cars dumped in a field.
The Ford Escort license plate was “70 NZB” but I couldn’t see the other car’s plate. I presume they’re long gone now.
If they were dumped nowadays they’d probably sell for more second hand than new…

Pro-Ukraine demonstration in Cork
One of the nice things about having your own blog is that you can say something that would get your message filtered on Twitter on Facebook for the profanity, so here goes. Fuck Putin. Fuck him and the horse he rides in on and his smug face and for everything bad he’s done to Ukraine, to Russian people, to Syria, to Georgia, and to everyone his regime has hurt over the years. Fuck him.
