To be honest for many many years I was against the death penalty but after some of the crimes I heard over the last 10 years im not so sure its a bad thing anymore.Just yesterday about 100 miles from from us a guy killed his father for drug money just after getting out of rehab....it beggers belief....

I would have loved to see those "English" busses in Chicago.Im sure theres an interesting story behind how they ended up there.i really enjoyed our time there as I do love music and visited a blues club or two.Blues is among the finest music in the world. Yeah every city has its problem areas.About 5 years ago we had a "disagreement" between two drug gangs here in my home town which resulted in 10 guys getting shot and a 17 year old being killed and cut up...... We couldnt move without being stopped by the poilce but they got a grip with it. Sh1t happens everywhere..... Paul

Back in 2007 we enjoyed a fantastic holiday in Chicago.We enjoyed the sights and sounds of that city.However on our last night there we ate at a restaurant about 10 minutes walk from our hotel.As we got to the hotel we saw a large number of police cars ambulances and fire trucks passing by.We thought there must have been a bad accident somewhere.Next morning after packing we went down for breakfast and on the TV news we found out that 4 guys were shot in the restaurant we had been in.If you think about the time taken to call 911 and for the vehicles to get moving it could have been only 1 to 2 minutes after we left the restaurant that the guys were shot.....Mrs Cruiseliner got very scared but Id still go back to Chicago..... Paul

Have to agree Joey fresh eggs are super.Up untill recently we just bought eggs from the supermarket.When we got the use of the shed for the Cruiseliner that all changed.The guy whos farm we are on is also an egg farmer.He has 6000 birds in two sheds but has 14 acres fenced off so they can run around with the sun on their backs clucking and doing what hens do!!!.The farmer gives us a a couple of trays of freshly laid eggs every so often.They are fantastic.....

Fuel protests in the 4th day now and Ireland is in somewhat of a lock down.Gas stations are running out of supplies.Fuel is being allowed through for emergency services and emergency vehicles are being assisted through roadblocks by protesters.The army has been put on standby but not deployed yet.Polls show 92% support for the protesters.Artical 6-1 of the Irish constitution has been invoked.This allows the President to call a new election for a new goverment if more than 250,000 people sign a petition.....Getting very intertesting here!!!!

Just hit 11.38 US dollars a gallon in Ireland.Truckers/Farmers and Plant hire companys going broke daily.Massive protests in many parts of the country.All roads into the capital city,Dublin,are now blocked by trucks and farm equipment as well as other major citys and fuel import depots.Goverment acting like gombeens( Irish slang for fools).They are talking about calling out the army to move the blockades as towing companys have refused to get involved.The protesters have a lot of support from the people.Theres talk of civil war if the army is deployed.Interesting times here at the moment.... Paul

I get 3 a year most years.I do enjoy training students.I also trained the first female student in our district.Shes doing really well... Paul

Thanks to all who served.Theres an old guy living not far from me who did 3 tours in Nam.Born in the US to Irish folk he enlisted because "it was the right thing to do"(his words) he doesnt talk much about his experances over there.He came to his folks hometown and worked as a truck driver for many years.He doesnt go out much but a few guys check in on him most days...... Paul

Well done Joey on your first student getting their Class 1.Its a great feeling.As you know Iv been training train drivers for the last 17 years and its still a great buzz when a student makes the grade...Keep up the good work... Paul

10.26 USD for a gallon of Diesel in Ireland today..F@£K me its expensive..Wiskey is cheaper!!!! Paul

Truest words ever spoken.... Paul

Yeah my wild guess was just that.It does appear to be a Euclid.I just looked up a book I have of mine trucks and theres a picture of a Euclid dump truck thats exactly the same as the one in the first post.Cab air tanks fuel tank and grill/bumper all match.....twin engine driving one axle each.Offered with Detroit 6/110 or Cummins 335.Sweet machine... Paul

I read a piece on DART a while back and the picture sparked an idea it was one.They made some monster trucks over the years.Are they still in operation as part of Kenworth?? Paul

Wild guess based on pictures I saw recently...DART...Think they made dump trucks that looked like that....As I said its a wild guess..They were part of Kenworth at some point... Paul

My Favourite Aussie saying. "Lets blow the froth off a few".....im sure you can work it out.... Paul
