    True, you maybe have contributed more (not taking into account the quality of posts though) but I have been here longer than you, egro you kid, are the newbie.

    Why are boggers such gobsítes?

    We all know what/where town is, and there's hardly some fella peddling his book at a college green in some tiny backwater village that a load of posters instantly recognise

    i dont really know what you are on about, but il guess the answer is pat ingoldsby! Btw, is he the same as 40 coats?

    Not the same men. Fortycoats as a character originated in Wanderly Wagon and was played by two different actors, neither of which was Pat Ingoldsby.

    Pat did appear on telly, in Pat's Hat and iirc, Pat's Chat. Possibly in something else too. All of his stuff was mental.

    You'll usually find him along the gates of the Bank of Ireland on CG. I've only seen him during the weekdays, now that I think about it.

    How about: because Dubliners are dirty stabbing boy racing knackers who have a filthy city with shíte shop fronts and drunk violent scumbags everywhere and obese, smoking women walking around the streets in pyjamas at all hours?

    I saw him outside the Bank of Ireland at College Green (in Dublin as opposed to all the other College Greens around the country) on Thursday, I think, so keep an eye out, he hasn't disappeared. Oh, and if his signs are to be believed, he gives discounts to "women eating bananas" ;)

    He was there today. I have five of his books. Have you ever read any of his poetry? It's funny, crazy, sad, evocative, moving...the man's a genius.

    He used to sell his books on Howth pier when I was a kid, I used to always have chats with him. I wrote a poem for him once and he gave me a free signed copy of one of his poetry books. Lovely fella.
