    This sort of thread is a kind of material that would fill an RTE radio program back in the day called "Wild track 702"

    Great entertainment for scaldies and op alike.

    I'm no sports fan, but these days rte puts on more sport for time to fill, firtunately

    I have a cold on me
    I was wanting to go
    I was only after getting up

    All those things are from Irish

    How did you get over "the Christmas"?

    You'd swear that it was like going to the Somme

    January then: "How did you get over the Christmas?"

    I literally don't understand how to respond to this question.

    It was quiet. And shure it's just for the kids.

    A scaldie is a young one in the 1980s who wore a short skirt and no tights.

    In the cold this would cause her pale legs to look particularly crappy with red blobs and such. Similar to how they might look if scalded with boiling water.

    And so basically a scanger.

    I don't know about you but I say the hoorling

    If a Scaldy is a young chick that makes sense, but only if you consider all chicks to be hoors, which might be considered a little misogynistic.
