Tony played all the old hits that night

A lad arrived home from the US a few years back and was drinking in one of the pubs in the town. In walks an old school friend from secondary school who hadn’t left the area since school. They greeted each other warmly.

So where are you based these days?
San Diego.
Where?!!
It’s near to LA
Where?!!
Los Angeles
Where?!!
Ah for fuck sake - California
Where?!!
Ah Jesus - America
Oh right. You went to the convent, I only went to the tech.

visit to Leitrim was set for the Bank Holiday Monday in August, Lucy to arrive on the 1pm bus that passed through historical Fenagh. There was a dandy crowd, we’d been beat in the championship the day before so drink was flying.

Our hero arrived about 12.30, looking his best with a bunch of home grown roses wrapped in the previous day’s Sunday Press. In the days before outdoor hospitality, we were all out on the street awaiting the bus when bang on time the late Paddy Wrafter slewed her to a stop. Out hops a brother of Scalder’s who’d boarded in Mohill to ensure it stopped in beautiful Fay-na.

Anybody else on the fucking bus roars John, mystified and embarrassed simultaneously.
A fine doll got off in Mohill reports Paddy. A burst of industrial language follows, did I get the rendezvous wrong, what went wrong etc before firing the flowers across the hedge and trundling home.
