15 of the most Mayo things that have ever happened
1. When this was an enviable prize
2. When a Westport man had this serious dilemma
NOT THE GUMSHIELD!
3. Every time someone eats Supermacs on the Westport train
4. When a tractor driver caused a 7km tailback because he thought he’d already pulled over
5. When the whole country was up in arms over Benjy the gay bull
A Mayo farmer was about to send Benjy to the slaughterhouse, but he was rescued by several charity organisations as well as the late Sam Simon, co-creator of The Simpsons.
6. When every celebrity ever to come to Mayo, or meet a Mayo person, was put to work promoting the GAA
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
(Please note that Roscommon man Chris O’Dowd penned “No f**king way” on his sign.)
7. When even Niagara Falls was made to show its support
In May of this year, Niagara Falls was turned green and red for Mayo Day. Such is the power of Mayo people.
8. When someone tried to organise a rave in Knock on Easter Saturday
Glowsticks. Lasers. Camping. MASS. The Catholic Church were a bit put out, as you may well imagine.
9. When Castlebar cinema showed the All Ireland Semi-final
And the Connaught final, too.
10. When a flooded Crossmolina pub got the punters in anyway
11. When Mid West Radio wanted to broadcast a special mass for ‘an improvement in weather conditions’
But decided not to go ahead with the broadcast after negative reaction. :(
12. When this Claremorris nun stayed up all night to get Bucky
13. When everyone in Balla showed up to the only house with Sky Sports on match day
14. When this Ballina shop nailed its window advertising
15. And when this hen party dressed up as Ciaran McDonald
*eyes mist over with county pride*
