The Cromwell thing, I get a little 'shruggy' about. The 'Paddy' remark causes some mild lip pursing.

But if she ever uses the word 'Micks', I swear on my copy of Rum Sodomy And The Lash, I'll be confronting her and insisting she tread on the tail of my coat.

There are limits.

Oh dear, I am so very sorry indeed. I thought that as you Irish are all so very jolly, what with your downing arms lately and practically being British anyhow. I apologise profusely, can I buy any of you a drink at the next forum drinks? I know how you all simply love your Guinness!

Don't worry Mr Tony.London Suburbs, I understand that the Irish must be feeling genuinely threatened. I hear the Eastern European's stole their building jobs and now the Swan in Stockwell is set to turn into a Polish bar. The Irish shop on Lorship lane is soon to be taken over by a famous chain of Kielbasa sausage shops. I haven't met an Irish assistant in Greggs the bakers or nurse in Kings College hospital for years.


The times are changing sweetie...

You are probably trying to be funny DM but all you really are is patronising. I wouldn't accept a drink from an airhead such as yourself. Has having your own website gone to your head that you now have to live up to some fictitious person you have created. I don't drink Guinness by the way.

Declan sweetie, how could having a website gone to my head? I don't understand. I have had my blog for almost as long as this forum has been up and running lovley boy.


Is it not true that during the late 80's and early 90's, those training as nurses in Kings College Hospital (then Normanby College of Nursing) consisted of 95% southern Irish females who drank at The Swan in Stockwell? How is that patronising?

Jack Charlton in my 'umble opinion the worst Manager(or certainly one of the worst) in my 47 years of watching The BEAUTIFUL Game..not Jack's Ugly efforts(Sheffield Wednesday being a perfect example)...shame he ever became a Manager, with his little Black Book(for those who remember such things)..


JC's famous quote on MOTD.."I'd like to get 21 0/0 Away Draws all season)

Sod The Entertainment(Thats my quote)...

You need to go back to the question you asked in the first place to realise your question has an incorrect answer. I'm not sure there is a correct one. Northern Ireland had no affinity with Jack Charlton.


And TLS may be slightly embarrassed if I mention that Peter Osgood is unlikely to still have the bruises!

      Flu and Covid jabs locally

      By beansprout · Posted

      Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.

      Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..

      @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
