This would have been 2002 or so but I was on the Roscoff boat out of Ringaskiddy. There was a lad on there driving for Denis J Downey on his first trip out and going to Portugal . No retarder in the truck and was nervous about the hills. Most lads were telling him to just take his time and he would be fine. After the grub we made our way to the bar and the young lad was starting to relax about the trip ahead. Then the “ Hooter” as he called asked this young lad out loud “ Are you the lad heading to Portugal without a retarder “ which the young lad confirmed he was and the Hooter replied the lad was either mad, stupid or had his balls tucked into his socks. The lad asked the Hooter were the hills really that bad to which the Hooter replied “ I’ll put it this way to boyeen, I was coming out there last month from Porto heading to Vigo and my old lorry was barely climbing the side of a hill when I looked over the hedge and what did I see, only a man setting spuds with a step ladder. I can still see the fear in that lads face when I last saw him in Irun before I spilt off for Corunna out the top road. Happy New Year to you Rory and mind them hills. As one of Noel Zweckers drivers said one time “ you know your on some steep stuff sir when yon rabbits are lying on their sides to eat the grass”.
Thanks Rory for another great video. There's nothing like flavans in the morning.....Safe journey and we'll look forward to the next video...cheers....Happy New Year
Rory I guess you are aware that \porridge is much nicer when soaked overnight but I guess it too akward when living in a truck. Loved the vid & Happy 25 to you & yours. Stay safe & Keep 'er Lit.
Great video Rory 👍 Rory, that, rule is to do with PSS requirements direct vision standards it requires all HGVs to have sensor system to detect Pedestrians up to 2 m which your truck I’m surely has And to have cameras and warning signs on each side of your vehicle, you do not need to have the glass in the passenger door
Greetings..Omg a dog box and the height of you,I was hopeful the planner even for pure rascality got the Captains Quarters.Looking well all new and happy looking.HNY Ro great driving .I believe the republic and Scotland got the worst of the cold snap .Donegal ,N.I and England not great last week also.Is Sophia on the cards ? Can’t wait for next one .a.okxx

@truth3358 yes my truck has the cameras etc but only "safe" if you pay money
@@roryhennessy7529 who would have thought the word safe could be used instead of the word extortion.
Hi Rory, you could do some videos of you cooking/having food in the truck in the evening’s. Just something different 👍
Another good one Rory
Good vid Rory, professional as always, you do the work but I'd say the planners job not always simple either?
Used to use that dieppe newhaven boat years ago Rory lad.you ain’t missing nothing always was a flea bitten barge with awfull food😂😂😂

You gotta invest in a microphone mate.❤
Turn the camera to the Road Roy we not see any views just looking at you😢
