Lot of anger here.

Almost invariably men.

In 1939 of course it would men.
You think womenfolk would be allowed? What are you, a communist?

The American are lying. The WAR OF THE WORLDS radio broadcast was REAL.
Please send stamped self addressed envelope and a postal order for 1 shilling to read REAL EYE WITNESS TESTIMONY.

There'll be a lot of Hail Marys for the one.

Probably have to complete a Novena Grace to get that ban lifted.

I heard Croke Pork are monitoring boards and posting on the association football, cricket or rugby thread gets you banned from the GAA. And I dont just mean the boards forum!

That John Wayne won't have much of a career

A good Act of Contrition revokes a ban.

Think a weekend in Lough Derg might be needed

Young couples are being edged out if the market.
Anecdotally we hear of daily commutes from Stillorgan and Raheny!

Stillorgan? Jesus. It's so sad when you hear of people having to move down the country like that. I even know of one person who ended up having to buy a house in Cabinteely. They'll regret that when they're commuting for over half an hour every morning.

Hope they're married, not living in sin.

Britain and France have recognised Franco’s government.

The Catholic Church must be pleased

These trams all over Dublin are just annoying. They should be replacing the lot with motorised omnibusses. I think it would work a lot better.

Oh I say. Imagine defecating indoors. The smell would be most unpleasant. How vile.

just reminded me of a blackadder quote

Mrs. Pants:
But what about the privies?

Blackadder:
Um, well, what we are talking about in privy terms is the latest in front wall fresh air orifices combined with a wide capacity gutter installation below.

Mrs. Pants:
You mean you crap out the window?

Blackadder:
Yes.

Mrs. Pants:
Well in that case we'll definitely take it. I can't stand those dirty indoor things.

Who'd Live in a Tenement Like This?

jaysus, the shops are cleaned out of toilet roll, fecken horders

What's toilet roll ?

Another one of the cousins in Birmingham has just gone and joined the British Army and the lucky sod is off to Singapore, some place nice and warm over near China I hear.
There is another brother a soldier over in Egypt enjoying the sun and he reckons even if there is a war it'll never get near them.

If we join with Hitler to fight the English does that mean I might get to fight the cousins.
Never liked the feckers. (God forgive me)

They keep rubbing our face in it that they have an indoor privy.

We don't talk that much about them as aunty Mary Kate took up with a protestant.
Bad enough that he was English.

Fr William my uncle was very upset.
Funny he doesn't call as much now since we grew up.
He was always very worried about our impure thoughts.

I've cousins on the other side in America, one is in the Navy and just got a move to a big battleship in Hawaii.

Lucky feckers the lot of them and me at home here dragging the donkey to creamery and chasing the pigs round the haggard.

Now must go and say the rosary afteral those impure thoughts about Mary down the road.

You need a wireless licence for that.
Even if you are only watching the BBC!
