My son and his girlfriend were heading home from a wedding on sat , when they noticed the oil light come on and stopped the car in Naas to get out and have a look .. Having his new clothes on he was dreading having to get under the car and check it ...Alas a knight appeared in the shape of a Traveler , who without hesitation got under the car and spent about 20 mins trying to fix it , having done the best he could he sent them on their way ...Refusing payment ...Well done youngman...

30 travellers arrived at the Pearly Gates and asked to be admitted to the heavenly mansion.

St.Peter was in his hut, got on the phone to God and asked for permission to let them in.
God said that they were nearly up to quota for traveller admissions -but to allow 10 in and see about the rest later. St. Peter was about to give the news to the boys outside when he looked out the window , gave a start and was back on the phone to God in an instant.
'Listen boss ', he said, 'you won't believe this but they're gone'.
'What', said God , 'the whole lot of 'em'?
'No',says Peter ,'the Pearly Gates'!

More like the battery light after a dogging session ......the pavey wasn't looking under the car......he was looking in the window.....

Stick to the greyhounds Paulie , a man of your age contemplating dogging could end up having a stroke , stick to what you know best , Playboy...Laugh.

wonks ......I had to laugh at that fanciful story.....im coming home from a wedding in the middle of the night.....about 15 miles from home and a light comes on in the dash.....so I decide to stop the car outside a halting site and get some pavey to have a butchers at it.....jesus man will ya stop.....who in their right mind would do that......
if the light comes on.....obviously it is a bit concerning.....but 99.99% of people would keep going and hope they get home....of course they would....
Was the Iranian driving.....and if so maybe he just was looking for an excuse to pull in.....ya know what hes like don't ya.....

Paulie it was 12.30 in the afternoon ffs , main street Naas , get back to your pipe and slippers and don't be worrying about the youth ..You had your day , I believe the sheets on your bed had to be sandblasted off after you'd finished reading your Playboy....Laugh

Do you drive Paulie , obviously not , when the red light appears you stop Immediately ...You drive it nowhere otherwise you could ruin the engine ..Page three not turning you on anymore , turns out he knew exactly what was wrong with it , should let him have a look at your head he just might be able to help...Laugh

I would have thought, dip it and if it shows you have sufficient oil you can proceed.  No need to abandon, just get it checked out soon.  Could be wrong.

Its really sad when a man helps out another , and because he is branded as been different people fail to see his goodness ,  Catholic Ireland indeed...

Of course there is no need to abandon... It's a warning light for Jesus sake....what kind of cars are you driving at all wonks.....did ya ever hear such nonsense in all your life......the pavey was propably under the car getting the chassis number for some stroke down the road....act of kindness my hole.... I know what I'd do when he was underneath the car... Tell him the lights gone off...

Reminds me -there used to be a quare car around back in the day called the Morris Traveller!
In fact there's one for sale on Done Deal right now.Laugh

Who said anything about abandoning Paulie , The chassis number is under the bonnet , no need to get Under the car to see that , again I wonder what kind of a car do you drive ..I simply said my lad was dressed in , for want of a better word Sunday best ...The Traveling community get enough stick , I wouldn't be averse to having a pop at them myself , here was a act of kindness and as such I feel it should be highlighted..There is good and bad in us all least we forget...

What a bunch of feckers and hypocrites.Is it any wonder with so much stigma.

A lad tries to break the stereo type with an act of kindness 

and all ye can do is give him stick and foul abuse

What, just because he is from Naass.......

I think we can safely conclude from the actions of the simpleton son, that the apple does not fall far from the tree.

a little of the irony missed on this thread but a traveller would never miss an ounce.

I was involved in unwittingly (maybe not) leasing a warehouse to a member of said community and they sold furniture to the public for a couple of months. I was amused to see that after a few weeks they had a sign in the window ....SAIL NOW ON
