She is a definite for the bay watch movie. :slight_smile:

Friday night on the free kick with a glass of red wine, a packet of pistachio nuts and a bowl of olives, it doesn’t get any better than this

lovely buzz going here, second glass of Rioja now, bucks fizz the “land of make believe” on in the background, now I know what Liam Cahill was on about, when he said he enjoyed nothing better than a few can of Guinness on a Friday night on the INTERNET! This time two weeks I will be up to my knees in a 15 stone African woman in the dam!!!

A Sinn Féin mayor of Cork City for the first time in 89 years. What a thrill.

Not the Simon Cowell cut out, the other fella.

letter found by a friend of a friend in their grandmothers attic in America - sent from Kilkenny to America in 1941

The herring was back in Kilkenny ? Are you sure?

that’s what I thought myself - couldn’t be Kilkenny but that was what he told me

He said they found it in an attic clearing out her old things after she died

@Fagan_ODowd Do you think it is an old joke? Would somebody type a letter and not sign it?

The fucking GEE that was floating about Grafton St and Stephens Green today. The dorises will have to wear rape whistles with their low slung tops if this keeps up.

Ah here. Your pal is either a simpleton or he’s taking the piss out of you.

NOT A GENUINE LETTER.

Has it been up on Joe.ie yet?

“Incredibly funny and perhaps inappropriate letter sent from Ireland to American relative in the 1940s!!!”

@Fagan_ODowd

seems my friend did find a letter written in the 1940s but it is not genuine - a slightly different version is referenced in an article written in 1949 from a quick google search

I don’t have the heart to tell him

http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CoTipperary/2003-07/1057582513

it predates Joe.ie by about 80 years

here is the original reference to it

mugged off good and proper alright

FFS! There was no 14th of January in 1941, the 14th fell on February that year you mug.

If @TheUlteriorMotive is really some kind of advisor to the Cork hurling team then Wexford might even have a chance on Saturday week with that kind of naïveté.

Imagine believing that anyone in Kilkenny would be pleased to hear that a Protestant church had been burned down.

Cork are goosed pal.

I will take it on the chin. Not telling my American pal it was a spoof though. An 80 year old spoof all the same.

In hindsight it was nowhere near as naive as Wexford’s defending on Sunday. Cork will be fine.
