Yep it's called a sheugh cause a gripe is a colic pain in your tummy. Every Mammy and Daddy knows what gripe water is ��

I once asked my aunt why she bought gripe water when there was lots in the gripe outside. Wasn't the brightest child back then

You're drunk Gozunda.

foxy farmer

God almighty wouldn't lads just call a thing just what it does. It drains water so therefore it's a drain. Sheughs (shoes) are for the feet. Shook is how i feel and a gripe is a pain cured by a good fart.
So some young fella drove a tractor into a drain. He should be lobbed into it after that.:)
Let the debate begin.

MeTheMan

I'm still not sure what a gripe is. Like a ditch? Or a drain. Or a drain-ditch? Not even sure how to pronounce sheugh?

It's a ditch basically, but one that has a hedge over it so divides fields.
Pronounced like the start of siopa (as gaeilge) but with an Ulster accent. :pac:

MeTheMan

That clears that up for me. I'm sat here saying siopa like Gerry Adams.

Mines a fork or a sprong on a rake ....

I dunno how else to describe it!! It's a guttural sort of sound. Like saying the start of the name Shaughnessy maybe, but without the a, so shough, with a real emphasis on the ugh?

So like shugh.
Someone else help me out here!

You and your trendy downtown New York Sprong! You're way too fancy for the likes of us!

Careful don't fall into that shough though - they have a nasty habit of having no bottom in them ...

Fork. Long handle 2/3 prongs.
Grape. Short handle 4/5 prongs.

A gripe here is a deep ditch. The lad driving is the same age as me so no spring chicken. Digger ran out of diesel going up the hill on the rescue mission. He was rolling brambles along the gripe as the front wheel went in he hit the brakes which were split and the back wheel went in too

Why had he the brakes split for a job like rolling?
Split brakes are very dangerous if one forgets that they're split.

Dunno but wtf was he at rolling the briars,?
