and ready for action, that is Pat. He is one of the best, and yes, his humour is fantastic. Good on you Pat, and thanks. We are very fortunate to be regularly zapped with your great range of costumes and fiery spirit.

Drivers of cars giving you beeps and raised fists - they may have been threatening you rather than supporting you, for blocking access to the garage!!

Good to see some humour anyway, maybe the Erris people could get dressed up for a Halowe'en blockade - I'm sure it would make great images for the cops lifting pirates and witches off the road...

just to respond to your comment
i was also on the picket , the drivers with raised fists were smiling , this SIGN IS A FAIRLY COMMON sign of solidarity,
for our own resons we decided not to block the entrance to the garage ,
so no one was anoyed for this reason
it all went well
and the super hero was great fun
