Irish advantage
So yesterday morning dropped off my suv for oil change and also asked them to check the battery. Had a few mornings where it was a bit of trouble starting. As I explained to the lads there - you have to give it a bit of welly to get her going (foot to floor and pumping gas a few times)
Well the chap asked me if I was Irish - yep I am - still sounding like I am off the boat. Well he said I'm Irish a few generations back so in that case its half price for the battery check
And when I got the bill it was half which amused me greatly
Being Irish - its not just for St Patricks Day folks
now go put some welly into it!

It probably helps too, that you're an incredibly charming person don't cha know! Glad to hear of such a great day.
Oh and congrates on the new job!
Now you know why I have never changed my married name back to my dull sounding maiden one (my first night in Ireland my friend Orla's sister Ciara asked me my last name, I told her, and she went, 'Ooooh, well, that's a good Protestant name. But it's hardly yer fault now is it?' I hotly contest the origin of said name - it's SCOTTISH, I insist, NOT English!
