    If it's in a 'tub', then it's not butter.

    Although​ plenty of tubs I know are just that, due to butter consumed

    Cobh or cove down in that place down there means lad, mate, fella, chap, boy, chief, boss, son or whatever your'e having yourself.

    I once worked there for three months about 8 years ago and am still weirded out by the experience.

    Feckin hate crumbs in the butter.
    Same goes for coffee granules in the sugar. Or lumps of brown sugar, when someone puts a wet spoon in sugar tin.

    Marriages have split over smaller things.
    No crumbs in the butter/marg/spread in our house or you are spending the night in the shed.

    It's painful because it's true.

    As a kid I used to look hopefully in the sugar bowl for these tasty coffee-flavoured treats.

    What about the people that add a little bit of jam?

    People that put too much butter on their toast. Scrape it off. And put it back into the tub/dish. :mad:

    Bastards.


    I used to live with a girl who did this. She liked burned toast. The butter would be feckin' grey after her.


    She's dead now...by means of butter knife.

    Butter residue in the jam is 4 times worse.

    Bits of coffee in the sugar
    Tea lumps in the sugar
    Crumbs on the butter
    Bits of veg on the butter
    Old tea bags on the draining board
    All very bad

    I don't think I have felt this much pity for another human being in my entire life.

    I should explain why it don't bother me. I have fond memories of it. When I was in college I used live with a lad who loved and I mean loved to come home after a feed of beer and ate mounds of butter on toast but he was seriously OCD.

    If he saw crumbs in the butter he'd go round the house shouting "Come out ye black and tans! Come out and fight me like a man!" Referring to the black toast bits and tan butter.

    We used have great craic with this. We'd purposely put them in and then hide in the bedroom next to the kitchen with the door ajar. Wisht! we say. Lah! t'is Collie! Wisht will ya!

    He'd see the crumbs and slam his butter knife down and start roaring at the black and tans. In he'd come fists flying! Ah boys twas the Craic!

    Other times we'd hide and if he couldn't find us he'd start screaming like a demented animal and usually end up slumped on the landing after 10 minuts against the wall panting like he was dying.
