    I've never in me life heard anybody calling a Press a Cupboard

    Kitchen cabinets, or kitchen cupboards is the norm everywhere except Ireland. Its the norm in parts of Dublin too.

    Hot presses are more usually known as airing cupboards outside Ireland too. That's why I used the term as an example of an Irishism. :)

    They don't exist outside Ireland and Britain as most other countries aren't daft enough to store their hot water in a large, badly insulated copper cylinder that wastes vast amounts of energy airing towels!!

    Great for drying a pair of jeans for the morning though.

    Surely that's worth the terrible waste of energy?

    I'm not joking I'll land him into the middle of next week with the belt I'll give him.

    If Id a bucket of flutes I wouldn't give Her one.

    She has teeth that would give an apple a queer death. He has teeth that would peel a carrot through a letterbox.

    Ask me bollix.

    Keep it up and I'll make more chips out of your teeth than supermacs cook in a week.

    I will yeah, in me hole I will..

    The Irish greeting of mentioning the weather.

    Whether it be a stranger, the postman or anyone else.

    Actually that's not strictly true. It's quite possible to get central heating boilers there with separate hot water storage, the only difference is that they aren't combined with electric immersion heaters and also tend to be situated next to the boiler and are heavily insulated. We had such a setup in our house in the Netherlands.
