Well done the little asp. Hopefully he will get a good job after uni. One with which he can keep his auld mother in the style to which... blah, blah...
Yeah, the Cavan Cola was the vilest when warm. We used to go down to play in a hall in Mullahoran, Cavan once a year at an event organised by Tony Smith (Anton Mac Gabhann). That was the place to get a good sickener going on the CC and KC.
Ha Ha the whistle players can't be heard behind the piano accordion players. Oh yeah the double bass players must love their mothers altogeter! What about the harpists. Anyway I shouldn't complain it got me all the cola and crisps I could consume for years.
I hated it. I wanted a button key but my mam lundered me with a massive accordian and I was about 5 stone weight. How I envied the other lads with tin whistles.
So true but they didn't latch an EU Constitution onto Lisbon, they just changed the name of the EU Constitution to the Lisbon Treaty after it was defeated in France and the Netherlands. That's how they fiddled it through.
I agree it's all too late now. Lisbon was the last nail in the soverign independent states of Europes coffin and we the Irish are responsible for nailing it shut on all the nations who couldn't vote, and those like the Dutch and French who did vote but were ignored.
My only wish is that the people who voted for this and constantly scoffed at talk of a federal Europe as 'conspiracy theory' will live to see what they have done.
Absoloutely. First they create the crisis, then they give us the solution. But sure you couldn't tell people, they just had to vote yes, yes, yes to every stage of it.
I heard that moron George Hook admit he was wrong to vote Yes to Lisbon. A bit late now George!
In the tourist areas there is a lot of English but the same guys also speak good French, Italian, Arabic, Yiddish and other languages. At least they know how to say, "Oh pretty lady your eyes are beautiful" in six languages. Outside of the tourist areas it's like rural Ireland in the 50's and you won't be understood anywhere.

The manual unit is about €60 and the electric unit is about €85 but you could pay more. Fitting is extra unless you can do it yourself. The electric has a bit of wiring and a garage would probably charge about €40 (to a man).
There can be a lot of cliquism, that is true, which in itself stifles open intelligent discussion but that is only a small part of the forum. Most people are open-minded and fun to chat with. Just ignore the idiots. In fact you probably won't have to ignore them because if you speak your mind they will do you the service of ignoring you.
You should have seen the Irish Clubs. I used to play the accordian in a place called 'The Holy Name' when I was a kid. Chip butties would have been a delicacy.
