People who are beginning to give me a pain in the hole

It depends. You might read it in another paper before the examiner steals it and passes it off as it’s own.

They do this?

Yes.

That’s nearly 10 years old. Anything more recent?

I’ve never heard of her dan, diary type articles by sportspeople are usually bland, repetitive and are written in fifth class English as most would be of low education and have rarely anything of insight to say

id rarely buy a weekday paper tbh
Id buy Saturday indo and UK times and maybe for a bit of craic on Sunday id get the sindo.
tbh I’ve no time to read them
 but it can be nice on a Tuesday evening when finished work late to read a dinger from Franno or eoin slott

I watched women’s AFL there onTg4 one day when I was at a loose end. It was as pointless a sport as I’ve seen. It reminded me of nothing as much as a bunch of Dublin street urchins chasing grushys after a wedding.

I’d never heard of that custom before.

What’s a grushy @Fagan_ODowd

They do that over here. Did it at my wedding. Interestingly enough the small denomination coins here are called ‘Grosze’ = grushy?

One of my cousins from Kerry got married in Poland and we’ve a seven hour DVD of the various rituals on the day including yer man asking permission on the morning to the mother of the bride with her not having a tap of English. My father went without the mother and was swiftly targeted by local middle aged women looking to bag a western man.

From the video footage you see several attempts of ropey auld wans attempting to woo him and another cousin in his 50s. Under questioning from my mother he stated they are “only old tramps” :grimacing:

If he did, it was off camera.

Old Dublin custom where one of the bridal party would throw a heap of coins on the ground and the local kids would chase after them. Died out some time in the nineties. I remember kids asking for grushys at a wedding in Aughrim Street church in the 90s but no one would entertain them.

What died out ? The grushing or the sacrament of matrimony ??
