Off topic Sorry!


"on the town" is this expression peculiar to Drogheda, or is it also said in other towns? I've heard going down town and up town, but I have only heard this expression in Drogheda.

Locals might recognise the guy charged by his nickname "Giggles"


Pure scumbag. He was on bail when this happened, according to the indo and the irish times.

Well it looks like he has done done it before..

Andy!!

According to those articles this young chap has drink AND alcohol problems. Wow, what a mess.

And since when is 'boxed' the best word to be using in journalism? It wasn't a quote, the 'journalist' simply used it instead of 'punched'.

I must be more of a Drogheda head than I thought, I didn't even notice that I used this expression. I think because Drogheda is a valley you usually have to walk down some hill to get to West Street, unless you live on the Quays usually in Drogheda we would say down town. Up town is more a Dublin thing I think. So you go down town but once you are there you are on the town!

You could start another thread a Drogheda (Drawda) Dicitonary

On the town is used in Dundalk, as is up town. On the town is often used elsewhere, as I have heard it in several places around the country. I think people need to get out more.

Well, I haven't heard it in Dundalk, but if you say you say it, that's good enough for me.
Every time I hear it, I think it sounds odd.

Really annoying when journalists write poorly - where is the editor to have a chat. The use of 'cops' really bugs me too!!

I am Dundalk born and bred and I have heard, and used, the expression almost weekly for more than 50 years.

Why he wasnt charged with attempted murder is peculiar.
Is it a case of charging him with something that he will definitely be found guilty for, or is there some procedure that they dont want to bother with had it have been a charge of attempted murder?
