    What Irish personality traits or indeed mannerisms do you feel were not

    covered in the 2 series of 'Father Ted but were sadly omitted? Thanks.

    exists now (!) ) }

    I feel they really missed the whole buggery point. I mean, the way I read it here priests got to bugger a child a week didn't they? Show it like it is I say.

    Lots of young fellas running around in shorts? That's the kind of thing you like looking at. (Turns to Father Shanahan) And I'll bet you like that too. You're probably imagining what they'd look like without shorts. You're sitting there, imagining that, with a big smile on your face. Ya dirty fecker!

    Saturday night chip shop brawlers - There's that time Fr. Jack put yer man in hospital for trying to stop him drinking.
    Single Ma with multiple Das - Pat Mustard (OK, wrong way around)
    Attractive but sullen Eastern European shop assistants - There were no Eastern European's (or Maori's) on Craggy island.
