Getting Jiggy With Stiggy Wiggy

This is an emergency update! We went out to our parked car on the main street of Maynooth and found that the hubcap was gone. Robbed! "This is terrible," we said to each other, "Now we will always be known as the people with three hubcaps. How humiliating!" Then we said to each other, in unison, in fact, "We are so poor, how will we ever afford a new hubcap?" Then we cursed our employers for not paying us enough money to pay for new hubcaps. Then we cursed the insurance company for not covering us for hubcap theft.

But lo! The story does not end with cursing. That filthy robber had a conscience! They left, I kid you not, five euros on the ground beside the wheel. Surely, with the value of our car, this would buy twenty fine hubcaps! We took our five euros and went to the finest restaurant in the village and ate like kings, for a week, until we exploded and died, like the naked fat geezer in Se7en.

Then we went to see Mission Impossible III in the cimena and it was a boomy delight to behold. Now it is time for breakfast! I love it when a plan comes together.

What the hells wrong with having three hubcaps?!

I have three. I think it makes my car look jaunty.

My car had three hubcaps too, until I took it to have new tires put on and they said to me, "But ma'am, this is a spare." and I said - "What are you talking about?" And apparently, I did have a fourth hubcap, on my actual tire, that was well and truly hidden in the trunk.

Who woulda thunk?

I felt like an ass. Who doesn't know that they've been driving around for months on the spare - that you aren't supposed to take over 40 mph?

I LOVE the money on the ground. That's brilliant.
