Paddy The Pet Goose, Graiguecullen, Co. Carlow, Ireland 1974

[@davidowen6977]

A joy to watch, street scenes and cars 😊 with the VW at 0:16 😮

[@Damien-l9y]

Ted Bundy had an Orange VW when he was on his killing spree He said it was easier to work in the back rather than using a regular car

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

That VW was used as a getaway vehicle in many bank and post office robberies, it drove away in a nice and gentle after the raids, it never looked suspicious, The Garda Síochána never checked or pulled the driver over as they knew well that gang on board were just hippies on a tour around the country and they would not hurt a fly. But please keep this secret as I was one of the gang

I want to know what happened to Paddy, this story is better than anything on Netflix

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Paddy the Goose Gander is still alive and swanning around the place like he owns it, he was written the script for film to be made about his life but they are finding it hard to find the right type of actor how can play the part Paddy the Goosey Gander, the goose about town, any town, the goose when went to school and git top honors, the goose who hitting the big times yet did not fame go to his head,

i had one in the 1950s also.. My mother sold it to a man that came around buying fowl.... when I was at school ..I was very sad and mad with her.. I often think about him..

[@patrickf2671]

Simpler times.....I had a pet jackdaw. We were all afraid of farmyard geese, back in the day, especially a big gander as these would give a child a severe beating if you crossed them...they always gave a warning before the attack was launched though....

It's very rare that you some goose stepping going on and afterwards only a bit of jollity and larks transpire

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Most of his large family were like that, You would never hear bad words said against them, they were and are all highly respected in the community

No-one can escape proper gander on the internet these days😀

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

This very fine Paddy the Goosey Gander with human feeling is not for the pot, watch him Skipptey De Hop as the kids make their school, this Gander made it all the way to top grade in his class, he was excellent at history and geography, fishing and none stop flying over water., later he became Lord Mayor of his City and some years later became an independent TD, He sat with the Green Party for a while until he was invited to their Christman dinner party, he was shocked and disgusted by what was served up as the main meal and let policies forever, he now sails the seven seas with his large family but he always comes back to visit his dear old school friends from 1974

Ireland as it was, before it was ruined.

[@o00scorpion00o]

Ain't that the truth although before I was born, I came along in 1980 From Originally from Castledermot but Carlow was always the place to go as it was for many villages around there. But Ireland has changed so much and not for the better. Bring back the Catholic Irish !

Nowadays, the police would be called, fines would be issued (maybe even jail time), and the goose euthanized.

Reporting on the most Up-to-date news on Paddy the goose gander is still alive and is Swanning all around the place like he owns it, He has already written the script for a film to be made about his life but the film company are finding it difficult to find the right type of character actor how can play the part of Paddy the Goosey Gander the goose about town, The goose who passed his driving test at the first attempt, The first goose to become the first goose test driver for a F1 one team. The goose who went to school and got top honors, The goose who hit the big times yet did not fame go to his head, The goose who stood his ground, he stood up for the weak, small, poor and the downtrodden, he would never allow anyone to speak badly about any of his kind, The goose who helped to teach mankind that Gooses have rights too and it is not all about the Christmas dinner and very fine mattresses and pillows filled with silky feathers. I was told by a totally reliable source that Paddy the goose gander is planning to stand in the next presidential election, he will get my vote that is for sure.
