Of a kingdom, a former power
Gonna get rinsed by that motherfucking shower
To the Caymans and back again to buy the pound for a dollar
you creep, while the little babies weep

People who vote for them then complain that EU does noting for them
As Denny says: "Fuck 'em"

Important distinctions are drawn between tramps, bums and hobos. It seems a hobo would be highly offended to be mistaken for a bum."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Up home in South Derry for a couple of days r&r with the nipper.
Upon arrival the auld fella tells me we have a new neighbour in one of the flats next door (mostly still in the hands of Housing Executive/social housing) whose first known interaction with the locals was to ask the lad across the road 'are there many fucken taigs in this place' (the lad himself a 'taig' of course).
Later this new addition to our quiet cul de sac was guldering at the local (mostly Catholic) kids to 'shut the fuck up' out his window as they played on the street at the start of their summer holidays.
Local councillor already been given the nod. Confirmed the fella was not a pedo but some other class of headbanger. There may be trouble ahead.
Couple of hours later I go to drive to the shops and see a flute band parading past the entrance of the estate.
Drive on up in the Dublin-reg car to see what's ado. Nobody bats an eye but the copper who won't let me out doesn't seem too happy as there's more bands to come and says I can drive between bands but not against them.
I reverse back a discreet distance from the intersection so as not to antagonise (Good Friday agreement and all that) and await the next musical diversion.
Next we have a small band of fat accordionists stepping awkwardly past playing a reedy version of 'Nearer My God To Thee' and one minute later I'm on my way to pick up a packet of Maryland cookies to enjoy with a cup of tea.
When I was a kid all my summers used to be like this. Every day. Some form of low level sectarian drama (real or imagined) at every turn.
Forgot how much craic you could knock out of it, until someone loses an eye of course.Last edited by BennyHiFi; 03-07-19, 06:53.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View Post'Ho, beau!' was apparently a common railroad greeting of the time. You may be on the right track though - homeward bound?
Ultimately, no-one really knows. The fun is in the conjecture.
The origin of the term is unknown. According to etymologist Anatoly Liberman, the only certain detail about its origin is the word was first noticed in American English circa 1890.[1] Liberman points out that many folk etymologies fail to answer the question: "Why did the word become widely known in California (just there) by the early Nineties (just then)?"[1] Author Todd DePastino has suggested it may be derived from the term hoe-boy meaning "farmhand", or a greeting such as Ho, boy![2] Bill Bryson suggests in Made in America (1998) that it could either come from the railroad greeting, "Ho, beau!" or a syllabic abbreviation of "homeward bound".[3] It could also come from the words "homeless boy". H. L. Mencken, in his The American Language

Got off an 11hour flight in economy to be greeted by the taxi man who was an overnight sensation (in his own words) for giving an interview at the time of the SSM referendum “I agree with SSM sure I’ve been having the same sex with my wife for 30years”, followed by a certainly story about how his son in Australia’s been hounded by the press over there for interviews since his dad was famous. An utter gobshite. Still annoys me, and every time I think of worst cabbie he is number one.

I'm guessing fake was supposed to appear between certainly and story?

'taxi' has to come from taxidermy, and how passengers were originally stuffed into public coaches in Victorian England.

taxi would be same origin as tax in relation to some kind of payment?

Twice in separate restaurants I got one of those little white worms in my lettuce. The 2nd time I was thinking WTF I’m being followed. Anyway in the 2nd place I was offered my meal for free (not the drink though strangely enough) I asked for a different meal instead. About 5 different people came out to apologise ‘fair nuff no problems’ sez I. Then the Chef came out and asked me did I enjoy my 2nd meal choice? Naw said I , is that worm infested Lettuce still going? He didn’t laugh. Still though how common is that with the worms in a lettuce in an actual restaurant? Twice.
