Cunt - He never used the word and you’d be bate sick if you used it. Which is why I never use it on here.
An Other - The electric kettle. He’d get up at six every morning to set the fire and milk the cows. He’d pray that the kettle was boiled when he’d come in so that he could have a cup of tea before he set off to work.

Football: Mick O’Connell- caught balls no-one else would ever catch and kicked 50 yard frees without even placing the ball

Bread: Wheaten (Soda’s nice but you wouldn’t want it every day).

I have heard a lot of people comment that thus guy was viewed with rose tinted glasses after his accident.

A good player, possibly very good, but not an all time great.

He was a brilliant player who probably had the potential to be an all time great* but the things he achieved were blown out of all proportion and he is undoubtedly viewed through extremely rose tinted glasses because of his accident

Offaly’s decline had already begun when he was still playing and the likelihood is his inter-county career probably would have petered out with seven or eight more years of mediocrity

*The term all time great is rather nebulous

Dungeon this shit.
