Yesterday I saw man, dressed in flip flops with navy woollen socks, whitish football shorts,
a red shirt, and a brown cardigan.

If you had to guess, what country would you say he was from?

England.

Nah, afraid not. With a fashion sense like that I was sure he was Italian, but then I heard his Irish accent:D

Best one I ever saw was on a horrifically expensive Porsche 911 Carrera, which said "My other car is also a Porsche!". :pac:

What about "I shot JR"

You mightn't realise it at a conscious level, but a man backfiring like a rally-car is a very old evolutionary turn-on, indicative as it is of a healthy metabolism and complete immunity to embarrassment, which is useful when it comes to kids. There's an old West-Country rhyme:

When Oi larfs, Oi's fart.
When Oi farts, Oi's larf.
Oi loikes larfing, Oi do!

The rise of "markets" for the alternatives among us - overpriced ware that separates fools and their money. Pottery, carrots with muck on them to make them look organic, hippy floral clothes and pick n' mix olives and sun dried tomatoes. Just go away and stop clogging up the streets with your glorified car boot sales!

I like farmers' markets, but the one in Mahon Point on Thursdays is a real pain in the hoop.
Poncey 4x4 drivers with sunglasses on their heads, sometimes a guy playing jazz, all in the vicinity of the car park of a soulless shopping centre...
Extra fúcking traffic as well...:mad:

There's one in Bishopstown these days on Thursday mornings, in the car-park of t'Woolpack. It's much cosier, much more Royston Vasey, as an actual Farmer's Market should be.

I like the original idea, but they have deviated so much from that now. A lot of the stuff is just shop bought and pure tat anyway.

Is there a barter system used? Tit for tat?

A good pair DKNY sunglasses will get you a half pound of organic olives marinated in cat urine plus some bread baked in an oven fired by burning donkey plop.

I jest. The food can be lovely but a lot of it is just people going "to be seen" to be buying the stuff. For example a notorious snob I know will only buy Arbutus bread. And goes out of his way to mention it. The queues at some of the stalls down there are insane!

I mentioned the other day that my awesome new neighbour brought me cake as a nice new neighbourly gesture and thanks for helping them out with a few bit and pieces. What I failed to mention is the delivery of the cake, but this has reminded me.
My kitchen is at the front of my house beside the front door. It was a warm day and the kitchen window was open, I was there quite close to it and let an absolute ripper, plenty of bass in it and dragged out for a few seconds.
Just as I completed the flatuence, there was the knock on the door.
The neighour had to had heard it or at least felt the vibrations.

I drop my mother to the shops and just as she getting out it never fails she lets a silent but deadly jam tart and closes the door as fast leaving me to drive off with the horrendous smell !! And I know it's done in purpose 😈

Ah, tactical toots, you have to kind of respect her for that.

My granny used to get up and leave the room, close the door, let out a whopper and re-enter the room. She thought that once the door was closed she was soundproofed. Nope.

You'd think they'd be able to put on a few music gigs without it turning into yet another national-airwave-dominating Jaysis hames lasting about a month, wouldn't you! At this stage I expect the United Nations to be stepping in any day now! :pac:

Ordering birthday cakes. Now you'd think it'd be fairly simple to order a birthday cake that's a bit of sponge with fresh cream and lashings of chocolate wouldn't you? Well if you do then you'd be wrong. It's all sponge covered with heaps of icing. Not just any icing, it's expensive icing, of the basic 8inch sponge with basic icing circa 80 euro minimum, fcuk right off with that.

I've got a family joint 40th/60th and it's been left up to me to sort out the cake, as usual. Now don't get me wrong these expensive novelty cakes are fine if you're having a big party and want the cake to make an impression, but it all seems to be a case of sacrificing taste for appearance. Don't even get me started on biscuit cake, I've no idea why it's so popular. I've finally managed to find someone who makes lovely fresh cream cakes, lathered in chocolate and it'll be enjoyed a Hell of a lot more than a bit of sponge covered in sickly icing.
