My Claim To Fame

[bobtheturkey]

In 1998 I defeated Padriag McShinty to win the Western Ireland orange b&q bucket throwing competition, a controversial final in which Padriags wife Beatrice attempted to lace my egg and onion sandwichs with toilet duck pre final

What is yours?

[10ClarionSt]

Actually, I took part in a similar competition in Kilmuckridge. Spooky eh?

[elliemay1]

bob, are you related to Dustin the turkey?

[gness]

I don't believe you, Bob. The toilet duck is entirely understandable but nobody in the West of Ireland puts egg and onion together in a sandwich.

[10ClarionSt]

What about pickled eggs then?

[tonyav]

Ah yes I remember that final, bob. T'was a classic. McShinty should definitely have been disqualified though ( and his buckets looked a different shade of Orange to me ).

[Tilly2]

I'm going to try egg and onion...with a bit of grated cheese.

[douglas9401]

They're often left to bleach in the sun on the banks of the Boyne, in the morning, Tony.

[tonyav]

Sounds great if you remove the egg.

[tonyav]

Does the sun bleaching make them lighter in weight by any chance, douglas ?

[douglas9401]

No, but it gives them a blueish tinge.

[Tilly2]

What? Like the blue dye thing my mum used to put in her washing?

[Mamyalynne]

Was your Mum Dolly?

[tonyav]

I think that bob should have demanded that McShinty's ( peculiar coloured ) buckets should have been weighed ( looked to me like someone maybe Beatrice had been shaving the bottoms with a stanley knife).

[Mamyalynne]

Ouch!

[tonyav]

She did strap the blade first though, Mamya.

[Mamyalynne]

Lucky there were no carbuncles.

[Jordyboy9]

If the bottoms were being shaved,
How would that,oh it was the bucket bottoms
