Chips, Peas, Socks, Bread .....

Stigura

Just looked in my 'Memory Book', where I note anything I need to do in town, once a week. I only go in once a week. Forget to get anything? I'm f**ked.

Last things in there were chips, peas, socks and bread. Got all them

Just curious: If you only went to a small town for a few hours, once a week; What would be your priorities?

We could make it like a PS4 game. " Hitting Town ". Ye have under three hours to do it all. Splitting ye time between hard line shopping. Chatting to ye favourite shop keepers. Having a beer.

Could You manage Culchie Life? :pac:

Think you've had enough beer by the looks of things.

If I was a culchie I'd imagine the only thing I'd be going to town for was the hooers.

Will you get me a bag of spuds when you're in town?

Red lemonade. If I was a culchie I'd stock the trailer up with it. Keep one bottle aside just in case I got a holiday up to Dublin for a GAA match.

I was thinking more of Roxy Music and their " Prairie Rose " (From the album, Country Life, as it happens)


Leitrim. That's where I Belong It seems to me.
Leitrim. Lots of stars shine on the bog country.
Leitrim. With open fields and cows for company.
Leitrim. Oh juncus rush how happy I should be.


Ye like that? :P

Culchies don't have gardens, they have fields. Often with different names like the "back field" or the "long field".

Ours were 'the well field', 'the meadow', 'the bottom meadow', and 'the silage field' (which could be split into 'the top silage field' and 'the bottom silage field' if it needs to be more specific). There was also the summer torture that was 'the bog'.

I must disagree though, as we also had a vegetable garden. At least a few times a year my mother would announce that 'We're eating our own carrots* today'.

*also potatoes, peas, onions, etc.

My priority would be getting into the estate agent to see if they had any properties in town available to let within my budget. One that was sorted, I could nip out to the shops whenever I needed to.

I was trying to dumb it down for the city-folk, to terms they'd understand.
