. .That's the way I like to foot turf.


That's what I was singing to myself today whilst footing my turf, I love to motivate myself in the bog.

Anyone else make up motivational songs for themselves as they go about their daily chores?

I was roaring "bowl of, bowl of bowl of, bowl of bowl of, bowl of BOWL OF CORN FLAKES!" to the tune of the Yaya/Kolo Toure chant the other day when I was making breakfast.

Looking back on it I think my Dad was in the other room rather confused.

Yeah, i have a wee ditty I like to hum...

Give them all their fries, give them all their fries.
Nod and smile, it makes them happy.
God I hope they all choke to f**king death on their own Vomit.
Give them all their fries.













I don't even work in a restaurant!

We don't bag them around here, we just drag them.

So it's

Well I'm going down the hill road trying to get home with this load
I got seven tractors on my mind
Four that won't tread heather, two that won't pull for me
One thinks it's a fcuking combine.

Muise...

Up down turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find myself as I go home.

wrote that on my way back from the pub years ago.

Something something something

Even Yeats used it as such:

"Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight"

(The Stolen Child)

A primary school teachers song for Irish class.

"Get put your focail leabhar, get out your focail leabhar,
We'll have you learning Irish in a half an hour.
'sea mean yes and níl means no,
get out your focail leabhar and we'll all have a go"

Compliments of the great lyricist Richie Kavanagh ;-)

I'm sorry but as a leaving cert student I can safely say 99% of 18 year olds in this country agree that Yeats can go f*ck himself.

What an utterly compelling point of view. Go to sleep now, kid - you'll have to study all weekend.

You'll be grand kid, and remember that reading and learning and figuring things out are actually fun once the pressure to prove it is off.

I loved studying Yeats - He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven - so simple and beautiful.

Anywho I work in a pre school. Everything is a song - its how I roll. Sometimes I find myself in Tesco though putting ****e to song "oh where oh where is the ketchup gone oh where or where can it be"

You know you really shouldn't be singing such saucy songs to kids.

I believe this is why primary school teachers are exempt from jury duty.

I used to be roped into footing turf too OP, it is one of the most back-breaking jobs. Are you crippled now after it? You need to run yourself a nice hot bath

Memories of our school trip to france in the early 90's. 30 boys on a bus singing that at the top of our voices. There are loads more but I cant remember them either.

Bit of windburn on my back and my wrist is a bit sore from pulling a few towey ones, but nothing I can't handle.:)
