I often wondered if there was a good war and everybody lost their broadband, what would happen then?

The first loss of life would be suicide in an attic in Galway city.

The Smithwicks hops were grown in Bennettsbridge. They were still growing them up to a few years ago anyway, but donā€™t know if when Smithwicks brewing moved to Dublin, did the hops move with them.

Ya they are growing them on Stephens Green now instead

Itā€™s all Rockshore above in Belfast bars from what I could see.

Bonoā€™s sheep will eat them all and die of bloath.

They took to harp in a big way as well the freaks

Perfect. Put a poly tunnel on it and corner the tomato/marijuana market.

Actually I googled it and see that Diageo stopped taking their hops from Kilkenny a few years ago and turned to cheaper imported hops.

Iā€™ve never had marijuana in a salad

There are apple trees groaning with fruit all around the country and lazy cunts wonā€™t pick them. In the meantime the supermarkets are selling apples from Chile and New Zealand.

Wild or cultivated? Is it not mostly cooking and crab Appleā€™s grow wild?

From my observations there are apple trees in gardens and orchards all over the country that are not being picked.

Ah there are tonnes of old orchards about the place. I donā€™t even think cookers are wild, just crabs.

Young lads are too busy on Instagram to be out skinning Appleā€™s these days

Hard to get any sort of decent apple in a supermarket any more. Quality has gone to shit. There is an apple farm in Wexford who do a good apple.

is it not a sign of how far we have come that ruffians who once robbed apples now rob Apples

We used to have some craic as children skulling apples out of Mrs Gossips orchard. Watching her movements all day and as soon as she went out up over the wall and filling a bag with fruit. It was a great training actually.

Thereā€™s no wall would keep us out when we were off skinning.
