Are the Beshoff’s of Howth of Russian heritage ???

They are indeed. The local legend is that old man Beshoff (now long deceased) was on the Battleship Potemkin

A good yarn anyway

A couple of interesting topics trending there

I’d prefer The Kingfisher on Parnell Street myself

They got rid of the bottles of vinegar on the tables there after they realised that the junkies were dipping their needles in them to sterilize them.

[StoneCold]

Just as well I don’t use vinegar

[cowpat]

Dunkirk, my mistake!

We’ll have to scramble a couple of currachs from Valentia to go out and meet them.

When I was in the reserve navy (An Slua Muirí) it was the height of the Cold War. One night after marching around the square for a few minutes, the Commandant ushered us inside into the incident room to outline the plan for the defence of the harbour should the Soviets attack. The expectation was that the Soviets would come up the harbour in a warship as far as Cheekpoint and destroy the power station at Little Island. He had unfurled all of the maps of the harbour and had a pointy stick to show us the potential flashpoints. To delay this as long as possible to allow some of our naval ships to come on the scene we were to row out from the bridge in Waterford armed with our Lee Enfields and engage the Soviet warships in a sea battle.

Needless to say I left the Slua shortly afterwards.

The range of the Lee Enfield 303 is 3000 yards. Ye could have easily taken them out from the banks.
Perhaps ye were on a kamikaze mission.

I fear the Commandant was intent on making a noble sacrifice of us, like the Ulstermen at the Somme.

I wasn’t having any of that. I only joined up because you could get a large bottle for a £1 a go after manouvres on a Wednesday night.

Manoeuvres? We used call them drills in kk.
On camp then in Waterford. No bar in the barricks then. And NO FCA signs on most of the pub doors.

A pity the world was spared “manoeuvres” attempted in a KK accent.

[habanerocat]

Seemingly they were called oats.
@iron_mike got his oats in kk.

Given the last 3 years, nothing would surprise me.

Alien landing can’t be far off at this rate

It always was, they don’t mass 120k troops from the good of their health.

Another keyboard general here …

Who do you think is going to be pointing the FCA where to go?
