That's like the one about the special nail hammered into the wall near the crush for the AI man to hang his trousers up on:eek:.

"Bad cess to it", when things go arseways, was used all the time by my long dead Clare grandmother.. Still used by me!
Never heard it used anywhere else, I believe the 'Cess' was a hated tax from pre independence days.

A little rhyme I remember from when I was young.

Brian O’Linn and his wife and wife’s mother
Were all going home o’er the bridge together
The bridge it broke down and they all tumbled in
"Bad cess to the mason" said Brian O'Linn.

If your not there yourself you wont be there long.

They all have money til they're searched.

I never saw a cow in a circus.

It's actually a very famous song:

Bryan O'Lynn
Bryan O'Lynn was a gentleman born
He lived at a time when no clothes they were worn,
But as fashion went out, of course Bryan walked in
"Whoo, I'll lead the fashions," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no breeches to wear
He got him a sheepskin to make him a pair,
With the fleshy side out and the woolly side in,
"Whoo, they're pleasant and cool." says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no shirt to his back,
He went to his neighbor's and borrowed a sack
Then he puckered the meal bag up under his chin
"Whoo, they'll take them for ruffles," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no hat to his head,
He thought that the pot would do him instead,
Then he murdered murdered a cod for the sake of its fin,
"Whoo, 'twill pass for a feather." says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn was hard up for a coat
He borrowed a skin of a neighboring goat
With the horns sticking out from his oxters, and then
"Whoo, they'll take them for pistols," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no stockings to wear,
He bought him a rat's skin to make him a pair,
He then drew them on and they fitted his shin,
"Whoo, they're illegant wear," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no brogues to his toes,
He hopped on two crab shells to serve him for those,
Then he split up two oysters that matched just like twins,
"Whoo, they'll shine out like buckles," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no watch to put on,
He scooped out a turnip to make him a one
Then he planted a cricket in under the skin
"Whoo, they'll think it's a-tickin," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn to his house had no door,
He'd the sky for a roof and the bog for a floor,
He'd a way to jump out and a way to swim in,
"Whoo, it's very convanient," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn, his wife, and wife's mother,
They all went home o'er the bridge together,
The bridge it broke down and they all tumbled in,
"Whoo, we'll go home by water," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Brian O'Lynn and his wife's mother
Went under the bridge to piddle together
One piddled needles and one piddled pins
"That's mighty sharp piddling," says Bryan O'Lynn.

Bryan O'Lynn had no watch for to wear
He got a big turnip and scooped it out fair,
He put a live cricket right into it then,
"Sure, they'll think it's a-ticking," says Bryan O'Lynn.

A cousin of mine had a crowd in doing a bit of landscaping with a 1 ton mini digger. While it was idle he decided to have a go. He's almost 6ft and 17 stone and a bit awkward. One of the lads nearly collapsed watching him trying to get up into the seat and get comfortable. When he's finally seated Yer man pipes up' Chrisht Jer that was like watching a cat trying to ride a match box!'

Reminds me of an auld joker, he was out one weekend a few years back and he was talking to a couple of yanks for a good start, when he was leaving them he said ''Tis getting late lads, I must go home and beat the wife'' cue some bemused looks from the yanks...

One I never heard before, talking to a couple of lads the other day when a very tall attractive girl walked past, we turned to the shortest lad there " she'd be no use to you Billy" , his reply, "huh! A fallen tree is easily climbed"...

Someone who is wearing ill fitting clothes.
He was screwed (poured) into the pants.

There's none so pure as a reformed hewer.
All things look yellow to a jaundiced eye.
She's always 'me deep' in conversation.

The curse of Oisín and her nine blind illegitimate children, may she chase you so far over the hills of desolation that God Himself can't see you without a telescope.
