I've rented a car for the next 3 weeks and it's sweet. When I rented it in Chicago the guy at the desk mentioned he was a keen SCUBA diver. I happened to have my PADI card on me, so I showed him and we "bonded". :) He loves diving shipwrecks, and is a big fan of the Titanic, so when he looked at my driving licence and saw that I was from Belfast he nearly shit a cat.

We talked about the 100 year anniversary coming up in a couple of years, and I told him if he was ever in Belfast I could get him a private tour of the Shipyard because my uncle worked there. After filling out the paperwork, he says "I've bumped you up from the Economy car to a mid-range car, so enjoy." I get up to the car park and there's a monster (by European standards anyway) convertable waiting for me. :)

I just hope he doesn't come to Belfast because my uncle hasn't worked there for 10 years.
