directions to cottage

First you need to get to the village of Rosscarbery (usually along the N71). As you are driving through Rosscarbery on the N71 take the Glandore road opposite a white building (this is an eatery now). Travel on this road for about a mile and take the left turn just after a right bend in the road. A little way along this road it splits in two. The dead end sign refers to both roads. Take the left road (more of a track really). Keep going until the road drops suddenly down. At this point take the track on your right. This looks as though it is going to a farm. It does, but keep going past the farm. By this time the road is a mud track. When you reach the point that you can go no further and you are amongst a collection of white buildings - you have arrived!

I voted for 'When you reach the point that you can go no further', but had the option been offered would have voted for 'This looks as though it is going to a farm.'

i think we can include that under "it does," which imo is the payoff

I'm very bad at giving directions. It struck me that these instructions were quite clear and almost well written you could say, but that trying to process them while driving might be rather hard.

― dubmill, Thursday, 28 June 2018 09:48 (seven years ago)

you should deliberately get lost in protest

i enjoyed the style, magic adventure that turns rather dark in the end

plumping for the classic reversal "it does" punchline. like mitch hedberg's "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too" & guru's "lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is"

― ogmor, Thursday, 28 June 2018 10:14 (seven years ago)

still tho

"usually"

Stayed in a cottage in Co. Donegal a couple of years ago and had a very similar directional experience. Arriving after dark in the pouring rain made for extra fun times. Place was amazing though, totally fell in love.

One of the waymarks was actually the point at which you would be required to change gear because of the incline of the road...

"Drive for about five minutes and look out for the first proper short rise where you will have to change gear. There is a red and white cottage to your left as you go up this rise. This is not my house."

Voted 'The road suddenly drops down' because hey now you and your car are in a ditch/hedge/both.
