Yir Aul Da

The aul lad reckons sparkling water is as good as if not better than lucozade. He is insane, clearly.

But surely I’m not the only one who’s heard their aul fella say something batshít that they won’t back down from?

Help me feel better and tell me mad things yir aul da believes or says.

Me aul da believes Guinness is better than Lucozade and he's prolly right.

That turkey at Xmas is the best one my mother ever cooked.

No matter what sumptuous meal you tell my Dad about, he'll insist he had it regularly as a child in 1950's rural Ireland.

Venison? Oh we often had that. Steak? Regularly had that too.

My grandad was a boozer who worked for the council and squandered every penny he had. My Nana worked in neighbouring farm houses as a cleaner/labourer to keep the household going. Highly unlikely he had anything resembling those kinds of meals and my uncles have no memory of them either.

Lucozade is sugary rubbish. Sparkling water is just water with an added kick. Love the stuff! Your Dad's a wise man.

It's not even sugary rubbish anymore, they took the sugar out of it!
