Were they originally The Geesala Rovers that were relegated from the Mayo County Championship 1997 due to an incident in the dressing room with a goat and a 5 gallon drum of swarfega?

Yes, they were.

The Richmond sausages ad is worse 'I'm coooooomin' home for summer'. If you want a Richmond sausage that much, just I dunno, cook yourself one. You don't have to get mammy to do it for you and travel counties... sad.

And to think I was offended when my elderly relative kept referring to the proprietors of my local corner shop as "blackberry boys".

I had to explain that they're actually Native Americans.

'I'm not either', in reference to a post above it). ie. I am not MALE either.

It was clear to me.

I hadn't heard this, so I clicked on the link. At the start I was thinking 'Denise and Sunflower may quite possibly be insane'. But then the harmonies came in!

'We're the Blackberry boooooyyyyyysssss.'

I love it now. Maybe it's a girl thing?
