Roy; That’s gas…27! I know it as the 20 bends and me da refers to it as the 12 bends. I’ve never actually counted them though…

Thriftcriminal; So you were a moped kind of guy? Moped guys are way cooler than motorbike guys :)

Natalie; Hockey? No way could I survive hockey through The Fear.

Mary; We shall just have to get you out in a naked frenzy of dance and poetry with the sisterhood then, won’t we? (I wish I was in a sisterhood like that. It looks so wolf-ish.)

Sigh — my days of enthusing over Estonian dreadlocks seem to be over. And I can’t hold my liquor worth beans. The plus-side of this is that my alcohol budget can be figured in pennies. One sniff of tequila has me dancing on the tables.

@Grandad. No, I am a wuss and afeared of the motybikes (or more accurately the daft things I might do on one)

It’s a great name for a bend in the road, the devils elbow, so descriptive and apt for that bend which is on a hill as well as acute.
The 27 bends… which is the road from Enniskerry to the dual carriageway is another apt moniker

Thrifty – “Ah, yes, I’ve done them on a bike.”

But have you done them on a motorbike in mid-winter when the road is a sheet of ice?

I have :twisted:

I wonder how many blueberry lollies she had to lick to get her tongue to go that colour. Cause they totally had blueberry lollies back in the hairy loincloth days.

Sam, Problemchildbride; Yep those Baby Guinnesses go down far too easy! (That’s what she said)

Baino; Pootling is one of my favourite words :) People seem to have strong opinions about dreads… they’re associated with neglect and filth because you can’t wash them, yet in fact they take a lot of maintenance from what I’ve read. If they don’t suit me the only way to undo them is to shave the whole lot off which is a scary thought.

Thriftcriminal; Yep JFs is in Glencullen… the Devil’s Elbow is that nasty set of scary bends at a 45 degree angle on the road from JF’s to Enniskerry… it’s one of those strictly 1st gear jobbies that’s impossible if you’re in a big vehicle. Glencullen stretches further on down that road if I’m not mistaken. These ladies look nipply don’t they? Good thing they brought the fire. Very sensible.

Nick; Indeed ’tis true… 7 gave hell 2 5 4 being such a stirrer.

Medbh; The very same! The fires played havoc in my belly when the sausages and eggs were being cooked. Ugh.

Warrior; Good thinking batman. Could get very creative with some beads…

Xbox4NappyRash; Turns out 7 8 9 behind 6′s back ;)
