    Queue the boggers with their bog and turf cutting fairy tales.

    I'm guessing working 9-5.30 and actually turning up

    And assuming that the MEPs behave the same as the dail....how do they get paid when they don't actually turn up??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Fleawuss


    It's "cue" the boggers etc. I only wish turf cutting was a fairy tale. Sore back. No happy ending.

    You could bog your lad into a soft bank of turf.

    Isn't it a term usually associated with manual labour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭Duckworth_Luas


    I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, eat a clump of coal poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

    Why do I get the feeling you know what you're talking about.

    In relation to politicians, I suppose a proper days work would be representing the interests of their constituents, so for all the criticism Farrage comes in for (and I wouldn't be his biggest fan by any stretch), he does have a point in relation to many of his colleagues!

    I've done enough proper days working to get to a point where I now haven't worked a proper days work in a long time, or a proper nights work for that matter! :D

    As if Farage knows.

    I've spent time nearly washing pots with the sweet dripping off me and I know that that's a cushy number compared to the stuff people have to do in some countries.

    A proper day's work probably involves a shovel and sh1te.

    If it's not sheep it's a bank of turf, I have heard plenty bar stool tales. I'm not judging drive on.

    I'm guessing Nigel Farage starts the day by reading the mail and the express over a breakfast of bile and vitriol, before taking to the streets to deride Johnny Foreigner, before a spot of Morris dancing with Nick Griffin and then spends the rest of his days working hard by laughing himself silly at the stupid working class Brits who fell hook line and sinker for his bvllsh1t.

    Glazers Out!

    The guy who was sitting right behind Farage is a surgeon.

    I assume he has done a proper day's work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,740 ✭✭✭the evasion_kid


    I've never had an easy job and it's been that way since I started my working life as a kid,construction,farming,fishing trawlers,warehousing,delivering kegs.ill tell you one thing it made me realise,hard work gets you nowhere but a busted up body and someone else rich...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 513 ✭✭✭Two Tone


    Person tells others, who are in the very same profession that he is in, that most of them have not done a proper day's work in their lives. Hmm...

    He probably could have used some evidence to support that claim - and to demonstrate how the same would not apply to him. Can't imagine him engaging in a day of back-breaking labour.

    A wiseman once told me....if hard work was good for you...the rich would keep it for themselves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,887 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    It's an empty term, thrown about in the same way as 'in the real world' is.

    Exactly. It is a term used by employers of those doing manual labour in order to praise them and make them feel good about themselves whilst he/she makes the real money.

    It's an attempt to score further brownie points with the working classes in the UK.

    Well there was this one time myself and and the vet I work for had to try and get a cow's prolapsed uterus back inside her in the pouring rain. A cow's uterus is very heavy. And slippy. We finally put it back after nearly 40 minutes and it came out again. :(

    There was this one time in band camp I gave 40 hours putting a uterus back inside her. A cows uterus is very heavy depending on how much macdonalds she eats.

    Some jobs just arent worth the hard days work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,711 ✭✭✭Joeseph Balls


    'never done a proper days work',
    A lot like the people who vote for Farage...

    Yep, these city slickers can pontificate all they want, but until you're on the side of a hill in the pishing hailstones in the middle of January with a ewe with the reed out, you haven't a clue what a hard day's work is.
