Johnny Proves Too Hot for Donie in the Battle of D'Enrights



Hot headed How R Ya Horsebox player Johnny Enright showed no mercy to his father Donie on a trip to see Limerick play Fermanagh some time ago.

Johnny quickly amassed a good lead, as Donie was left floundering calling all sorts of cattle trailors, horse trucks and kennels on wheels. Before leaving the county bounds, Donie was already on -3.

''How're horse box'' says Donie. Johnny would reach with the finger waving reducer (see smiley above) and reply 'No Donie, no...that's a cow trailor''. The final score was 18 to -11 in favour of Johnny.

Did he do the punishing there?

Bird Launches Attack on Supposed HRYHb Inventor

In a vicious and scathing attack on inventor, horsebox enthusiast and long time friend Patsy Healy, Conor 'Bird' O'Kelly has stated that he was 'sickened and appalled' by what he described as ''utterly false claims'' on behalf of Mr. Healy.

Mr. Healy claims to have invented the world's greatest in car game, however O'Kelly disputes this, counter claiming that he in fact thought the game up on a journey to Dublin and Healy was simply stealing his ideas.

Further light was shed on this controversy when in conversation with How R Ya Horsebox, Mr. Healy admitted that it could have been invented by Bird, but that he could not remember. He said 'there were a lot of games being invented at the time...I can't say for certain whether I invented it or not, however I did take it to the next level and promoted it onto the world stage, Bird was too small-time''.

Mr. O'Kelly has refused to comment.

Extreme Horsebox Rumours Denied by Game's Inventor

Genius inventor and horsebox enthusiast Pat Healy today denied that a new version of the game, ''Extreme How're Ya Horsebox'' is taking the place of the much loved in car game.

Rumours are currently circulating to suggest that How're Ya Horsebox has been taken to new levels by the Cork Church of Ireland Women's Hockey team on a return trip from Northern Ireland and that the new format is sweeping the country.

Spokesman for Pat Healy, Conor O'Kelly, refuted these claims as 'malicious and unworthy of further comment' before mentioning that Mr. Healy was in consultation with his solicitors.

Extreme How're Ya Horsebox winner Sandra Hackett mentioned that 'history shows us that games like this evolve from their original format...you only have to look at what ''Extreme Ironing'' has done to ironing to realise this'. Hackett also claimed that she had been playing ''Extreme Yellow Reg'' for over two years now.

We at How R Ya Horsebox are intrigued by developments and will keep a close eye on this one. We are yet to figure out what rule changes have been implemented under the new ''Extreme'' banner. Stay tuned Horsebox fans...

How're Ya Horsebox - The World's Greatest In Car Game

How it all began...Patsy Healy - inventor, genius, funnyman, horsebox enthusiast

A trip to Waterford to play a hockey match introduced me to the game of How're Ya Horsebox, the world's greatest in car game. Forget your yellow reg's, forget your red car/blue car, forget corners...this is where it is at.

It was a cold, crisp, sunny November morning. Patsy felt good. He hadn't wanted to go on the lash the night before, he had just stopped in for a quart on his way home and he left it at that.

I was summonsed from the box room around 8.30...'dude we're going to be late, have you seen my socks and my stick? We have to pick up Marcus too'. Christ.

After a short argument regarding who owned the white socks on the table, in which I took victory, we eventually found ourselves on the road to Waterford, Marcus in the back, iPOD on, tuned out.

All was quiet, when Patsy roars out ''HOW'RE YA HORSEBOX'' pointing at a horsebox travelling towards Cork on the opposite side of the road. ''One nil, I'm up, yes boy'. With the minor heart attack I had, the popcorn I was eating went everywhere. 'Dude, mind the f**kin' car'.

Several miles later the score was 3 to Patsy, 1 to Marcus and I had amassed -4 points.

The rules were simple, see a horsebox and call 'how're ya horsebox', gain a point. If its not a horsebox and you call it, -1. Horse trucks don't count. Cattle trailors don't count. Someone must verify the horsebox sighting. You only play in car, when you stop at the shop for a Lucozade sport and a banana (or in my case tea and a dairy milk) the game is suspended. You are always playing when in the car, it does not need to be said that you are actually playing the game, you are always 'on'. Fantasy calling of 'How're ya Horsebox' results in -1 point. Brilliant.

Patsy has dubbed the Curragh in Kildare ''Score City'' as the first ever game was played on the road from Cork to Dublin when patsy was working there.

And that's how it all started...stay tuned for the official HB rules and some stories about Johnny.
