“The slugs had it all winter long and they’d eaten every €50 note, everything except the metal strips. My wallet was full of slugs, my bag was full of slugs, my purse was full of slugs,” says Kathleen from Galway. @joeliveline #Liveline

Ah here.
Also: Ew.
She has the metal strips.
Don’t worm out of this, Central Bankstards.
Thanks Alan Bracken

Joe’s not making any sense
the thieves missed the €950 because it was in her pocket, but the months later she found the handbag with the €950 in it
is joe high?
how high is joe?
Brother, Kathleen had a secret compartment in her bag the bounders had overlooked. The gastropoda were more intrepid.
Bit suspect that she found the bag 6 months later – surely they dumped the bag asap.
The bag lying there 6 months and she was the first to find it? (aside from the slug boys)
ah, got it – soz to joe
still doesn’t make sense, though, does it? – why did kathleen fecklessly place 2 big ones in the general compartment of her bag, yet take the time to conceal the lesser amount of €950 in her secret compartment?
should I call Joe? can I say I’m calling from BS?
The way you might stick a pony in your sock on a night out for taxis and what have you.
A what now?
a blue one, millz
Love it :)
I guess going home alone, one could say they got the ride…. home on the pony hah!

I’ll get me saddle.
always have a few quid in my running bra
coins ?
nothing worse than a jingly jangly runner, I even lace my key into my shoe so there’s no sound
25 big ones (Euros).
…surely thats a score…or what you get if you divide a monkey by a pony?
“If yer going to Deep Elm, keep yer money in yer socks” as Irish guitar legend Rory Gallagher advised.
“I’ll get the suitcase from the van…”
Remembering a panel from Big Vern:
‘All that comes to a pony, Vern’
‘Got change of a monkey?’
‘Course, love – 3 giraffes, 2 squirrels and a badger..’
In the days before the internet and mobile phones.. it’s getting like a geriatric ward here..
If I end up handing any currency that has been in contact with your foot, Bodger, I will be very, very upset.
…bounders…eh bodger…are you still in Charger mode?
Still?
Ah here.
awful slur
Heh heh heh
Maybe more of a flawless mode than a charger one.
Slugs ate your money? That’s a bit rich.
Those slugs certainly are! Hah.
i found a half eaten 20euro note in my attic that mice had eaten through. it happens. dont bury your money in the ground unless you know what you are doing.
what if it’s in a ziplock bag?
same mice colony eat through an uncle bens airtight pocket of cooked rice. they could smell the food through it. though not sure if mice would go through the effort of eating through plastic unless they knew there was something inside it.
if you want to mind your money, ive noted some dubious characters buying expensive paintings to hide their money. stick it in a guest bedroom, if its not too loud, no one will notice it.
am not a dubious character
for the record, like
oh here’s johnny green…
mice and rats will knaw on everything and anything
there doesn’t have to be a food promise at the end of it
insulation board, electrical cable, plasterboard, concrete….
When I was doing cable installations, we had to wipe down the cable and conduit that went anywhere mice might be with isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirit, but much more concentrated) Something about the smell of the ethers from the insulation attracted the mice and rats – smelled like fruit. I imagine it is the same with home wiring.
But you had to careful, the concentrated alcohol could degrade the insulation, which would kind of defeat the purpose.
I think you’re crew might have been winding you up… (no pun intended..!!)
y’know years ago I had a job offer from rentokil, for some reason I’ve always had this little regret that I didn’t give it a go heehee
there’s a fella from one of the main crowds who turns up every so often on Pat Kenny (I think) and goes thru all the tricks and technicals he knows for dealing with vermin and parasites, really interesting
Get ‘im on here!
(Sorry)

@Cuchullain: No, it was in the manual, which read I and they did not.
Don’t mind me, I was young and foolish!
Escargots sounds classier than slugs. Central Bank should show more class.
I’m sorry to hear about that lady’s troubles, but Jesus, why on earth would anyone be walking around with €3k in cash in this day and age?
She also laid the blame with the bank. Some neck.
Ha ha! What a bonkers story. You could only find this stuff on Live line.
