Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 'Billy' came over and got me today and took me back to his place. On the way we drove up to a well known mountain and, just as Billy had promised, some Ravens put on an airial show over head! Believe me, those of ye who don't or haven't had the chance to see and Hear real Ravens, this is quite the treat! Forget all about silly crows. These birds are a world apart in every way! Whilst up there I simply Had To grab ye a shot of the sort of views we enjoy here: Looking Out From 'Raven Mountain' Then it was on down to Billy and T's cottage. That place too would break ye hearts! Set amidst woodland and fields, Bill has room to breath deeply! As do his impeccably behaved small pack of various Dogs, to whom I was introduced, with much tail wagging and grinning all round. Then we set out for a mouch, taking " Squirt " the typical 'Irish style' JR and " Whinnie ", one of Billy's Glenn's. We examined one fox earth - little more than a bank side rabbit bury really, but in such rocky, rooty a situation as to make it a potential job of work in itself. But, probably due to the unseasonably mild weather, there was no one at home today. In fact, speaking of mild weather, Billy was aghast to find some remnants of last years spot of Game Crop swedes actually flowering! In f*cking January?! What's going on, people??? A 'trip', most figuratively, across a boggy bit of rough ground, to check out a swollen river brought us to another minor highlight when we found the pedigree cow a neighbouring farmer had lost. Sadly, he won't be wanting her back, the condition the scavangers and other natural conditions have left her in. Poor thing got stuck in a patch of real Bog and there she'll be staying. Crow bait for when Bill gets back with the guns. Our circuit completed, it was back to Casa Bill for 'Refreshments' This is when Billy switched on his computer, to gain my opinion of some issue, and I all too naturally lapsed into my 'Computer Tutor' mode! With screaming, streaming BroadBand, it should have been a snap. As it was, on the acurssed Eircom dial up, I found myself willing damn stuff to Down Load Today, damnit! Even as we tucked into what I now realise was my first 'Sunday Roast in several years My compliments to the cook, " T " , for a lovely dinner and a reminder of what more 'normal' people get to probably take largely for granted. A damn rare treat for me. Anyway, amidst more 'relaxation' I did my best to point out a few tricks and tips to help enhance Bill's on line experiance. Hope I managed to sort a wrinkle or two ~ even if I couldn't suss out why the pop ups of busty females! I put that down to the presence of adolescent males with shared access to the PC! Boys Will be boys! I'll give that one some thought, Bill. Especially the little dark haired number in stockings and suspenders!!! :whistle: All in all, a most welcome change to my own routine and 'Billy', his refreshingly, charmingly down to earth wife, 'T' and that f*ck off gorgeous little lurcher pup - which, damnit, I forgot to smuggle out under my jacket after all! - made my visit a real and genuine pleasue Hey, Billy? One last computer tweak, mate? See the clock, bottom right of ye screen? Double click that f*kka. Box'll pop up. Use the up and down arrows, beneath the clock face there, to correct the time it shows, man! I had my eye on That one and never realised it was probably near on two and a half hours later than I thought it was! What a surprise I got when I breezed into my local for a crafty one!
