A Roaster. The definitive diagnosis

It is a well known fact that roasters suffer from high blood pressure
Any comment @ rocko ?

Over-reliance on the word ‘unreal’.

It’s “unrale.”

someone like mac who when he is going to the jacks for a piss says “i’m going to strain the spuds”

Someone like @Mullach Ide who uses the phrase “in jig time”.

Roasters who say “and” in the middle of a year 19 and 73, for example

So basically, roasters are people who don’t pretend to be someone they’re not

Why do we say nineteen seventy three, instead of one thousand nine hundred and seventy three.
You’d often hear some say two thousand and ten, for example.

Baldy Noonan knows the score here as he is the top numbers man in the country and he refers to the year as 2, 14.

Who is jackie Cahill? Him or her? She’s not bad bird

Discussed at length a couple of pages back @Rintintin

Man about Thurles who the other roasters think is making it in the big smoke as he has to travel there now and again to report on sports.

Incorrect use of has/have i.e. he have cancer, she have a fine hole on her.

The use of the phrase “fine hole on her”

Does my father qualify as a roaster?

He drinks milk with his dinner.
He doesn’t like anything outside of typcial roaster meals such as bacon and cabbage, lamb chops, roast beef, stews etc.
He wants to eat potatoe with his dinner every day, the mother introduced rice for a while but he complained about it.
He won’t try anything “spicy”.
He’s always buying ham.
During summer he will have a ‘farmer’s tan’.
He won’t bother with sun cream so can often be seen a bit burnt in summer.
He is afraid of flying.
He has left the country about three times in his life (under duress) and he is 60+ now.
Has no interest in travel, can’t get his head around why anyone would want to travel.
He would never get his hair cut if it was up to him, or maybe once a year.
He’s thrifty with money.
He went to an Agricultural college.
I took him to a nice, fancy Indian Restaurant one time and he ordered mild lamb chops with some potatoe side instead of rice.
He drinks a big glass of milk every night before going to bed, and drinks a few pints every night before it.
He played up as far as Junior B level in football as a corner back.
He played in goals in hurling.
There was a mouse in the attic one time and when putting the trap up there he saw the mouse and lunged and grabbed it.

That’s all i can think of off the top of my head.

He sounds like a daycent man who I’d have a lot in common with.

Your Dad is a real Irishman. The more I read this thread, the more I realise everybody I’ve ever loved was a roaster. Better than some new fandangled west Brit faggotry

That’s the standard retort of an insecure roaster alright- calling someone gay and/or a Brit.
