Long time since a Tunnocks tea cake got a shout out on the forum.
The bossman here was a massive fan of these but i never trusted him on it for some reason. It was lovely.
The state of the cup, you steamer
Jesus Christ I’m in bits here…
Those tea cakes are delicious. We’ve a little coffee morning in work tomorrow. I’m heading over to SuperValu now so maybe I’ll pick up a few for them. If nobody else likes them, I’ll have a little stash in the office 
I didnt even know i was gay til i started drinking out of that cup.

Not so long ago, you would have never seen that sight in there.
Indeed. Beat Colaiste Eoin today by 3 points which would have been unthinkable even a year or two ago.

Never gets old
There’s a chalk board on the wall to the side & behind the counter where you order in The Orange Goat, Killester, Dublin 5.
It usually has a “Song of the Day” or a “did you know” or a famous quote or something on it…I know, I know.
Specials & menu stuff dotted around elsewhere on other boards.
Anyway I was behind a chap earlier & he ordered the flowers fire soup when he got to the counter.
There were puzzled expressions from the assistant & barista who was also in earshot. I was eavesdropping too & was baffled. Flowers fire soup?
“What soup? We still have the weekend brunch menu today & I don’t think there’s any soup but let me check.”
“The soup of the day”, says yer man & he pointing up at the chalkboard.
Everyone glances up & over:
“SONG OF THE DAY
Flowers-Fire
Kingfishr”
Everyone had a right laugh then.

That’s a lovely, family friendly anecdote which you can imagine Des Cahill telling with himself as the butt of the joke.

I just see @Cheasty ’s reply there & I was about to similarly defend the honest to goodness, clean, genuine yarn. No resorting to filth or blasphemy & an “everybody cheered” vibe off it.

It could have been straight out of the pages of the Readers Digest it was that wholesome a yarn.
