Rip up the tram lines.
Bloody English came over here and built those things, let's have decent Irish roads free of rails, populated with Austins, Leylands, Vauxhalls, Morrises, ...

Careful now, the church takes a dim view of crossroad dancing. Occasions of sin.

1939 is way too early for computers to have been even on the sci-fi agenda. They only became a thing in the 1950s and really only started appearing in industry in the 60s. First computer installed in Ireland was at the Irish Sugar Company in 1957 to calculate payments to beet farmers.

Rumours Euro '40 is going to be put back a year if war breaks out. Its just a small skirmish - massive overreaction. Just keep the ones who are vulnerable to bullets indoors.

True enough. Hitler isn't as mad as he's painted. Besides he's a Catholic and no harm him giving the English a bloody nose after the Auxies and the Black and Tans.

He also spoke German - no one who spoke German could be truly evil.
