One brutal Week.

Early this week I had business in Trim and drove in .I followed a few cars into the car park behind Brogans Hotel.The place turned out to be full.The cars in front of me had driven down to the far end of the car park before this became obvious and had to reverse back towards me to enable entry into a turning space.I signalled to the car behind me to reverse also.
Well the passenger got out of the car and subjected me to the most vile and foul mouthed oral abuse I have heard for some time.This he did in the presence of his lady friend and child who thought it great fun.
The fact that I am disabled encouraged them more.The car they drove was a Longford Registration and unfortunately I hadn't my phone to ring the Gardai,
Midweek I was in Navan Hospital on business.I witnessed a male orderly pushing a frail and clearly very sick old man down a corridor.The orderly asked the old man his name.The old man gave his name and address in Irish.The orderly thought this hilarious and boomed out for all to hear"We don't speak that foreign language here.We only speak English".

I wonder whether this cretin speaks so insultingly to all the foreign doctors who work there in c similar vein.

Later in the week I  drove past the Church in Trim towards the ring road by the Secondary school and checked the ring road out before emerging on to it .I noticed  a vehicle with blue flashing lights in the distance and with plenty of room to spare went onto the road and turned left towards the roundabout that can bring you to the Dublin Road.
As I  went to enter the roundabout I looked in my mirror and saw that the vehicle with the flashing lights was directly behind me No siren I  stress.
Thinking it was an ambulance I went through the roundabout and pulled into a lay by the Navan side of the roundabout to enable the vehicle pass,doing as I thought my civic duty,
Instead of passing the vehicle pulled up and one of the occupants ,who was a Garda ,proceeded to berate me for making inadequate signals when exiting the roundabout and pulling in to let him pass.When I say berate I  mean he  spoke down to me as though I am a piece of shit.
I bit my tongue and told him he was not a nice guy.
This is no country for disabled pensioners.
I am reminded of the spake peculiar to Cavan that ""Some people are as ignorant as the pig that ate his own bedding."
Unlike the female Dub.who took exception to being told the following words ,Iwould be delighted were any woman  to say to me "You look so well I'd nearly have sex with you ".
