So Jojos Bizarre Adventure Part 5. I’ve said everything I’ve gotta say in the video, enjoy <3
I did however promise you an amusing personal anecdote in my last patron post, so here it is:
I was but a lad living with my parents in suburban Dublin, and I decided to take the Luas (a tram that runs through dublin) into the city center. When I get off I had the bright idea to purchase my ticket home there and then, knowing otherwise I’d have to buy my ticket at rush hour, and face the ques. I did my business in town and got the luas back around 5PM.
HOWEVER.
A Luas Agent gets on the tram, and starts checking tickets, and when he gets to me, he looks at my ticket and states, “This is out of date”. I look down at my ticket and it turns out that theres an 80 minute time limit on it (this has since been removed.)
I argue with the ticket inspector, but to no avail, and I end up getting fined 50 euro, which was a lot of money to me. I return home and tell my dad what happened, and he is FURIOUS, not with me, but at the concept that tickets have an 80 minute time limit and becomes adamant that we will never pay the fine “NO MATTER WHAT JOHN”, which I was a little worried about because its my name on the fine docket.
Weeks go by and we begin receiving letters, first from the Luas Ticket Office and later from the Irish Government, demanding we pay the 50 euro fine. Each letter only hardens my dads resolve “IT DOESN’T MATTER JOHN, WE’RE RIGHT.” Not liking the direction this is all going I plead with my dad to just let me pay the 50 euro, but to no avail.
And then it happens. I come home from collage, and there on the kitchen table is a court summons with my name on it.
Bollox.
After an anxious wait, my day in court arrives, and myself and my dad get dressed up in our best suits (mine cost about 70 euro and was navy with a white tie) and we spend the entire day in court.
The first defendant strides up to the bence and he’s got this big elaborate explanation about why he shouldn’t have to pay the fine, and th judge waves him off and says “500 euro fine plus court costs” I look at my dad.
“Oh Shit.”
We watch this scene repeat over and over as the day stretches into evening, until finally, its my turn to approach the bench. I explain what happened, and the Judge looks down and says:
“Well Mr Walsh, While I can appreciate there was no ill intent, rules are rules and the law is the law. 450 Euro fine, plus court costs, good day.”
We leave the court, and in an elvator down to the ground floor, my dad looks at me, looks straight ahead and says:
“Well, we fuckin showed them.”
Love you guys, hope your all well,Thanks again for the continued support <3
