Ireland - any stories from growing up?

[monga]

I am thinking of getting a solicitor, as she is putting thousands and thousands of pounds through as expenses. Which i know is illegal as an executor. Part of me thinks let it go, then another part of me thinks this is my money/inheritance that I need to help put my kids through uni. Also, I feel so sad if my parents knew this. Feeling so confused and conflicted. Thanks.

If you think she's filtering the money away then you would be better seeking legal advice asap as they can put things on hold until things are either sorted between you or in court if it comes to that .

A saying i haven't heard for years cropped up at weekend, having a zoom chat with 2 school friends, I told a recently divorced pal I had seen an old flame of hers around, the other pal piped up to forget him "he hasn't an arse to his trousers"


Ah poteen, i remember one year, we travelled from Uk to Ireland for Easter and dad and myself went to grandas one evening, dad handed granda a bottle, "what's this " he asked, "Easter Holy Water" says da, granda proceeded to bless the house with what really was Poteen

What a waste

Barry’s ghost train was terrifying. It was for sale a while back, I think the new owners are intending to reopen it?

Just had a session with my son who is applying for uni in the UK. Had to provide all the family history re education. Started off with my Dad in Ireland left school at 12! Progressed after that, me and my siblings all progressed to 3rd level, not much else to do in Ireland in the 1980's!

7up and dry toast could cure any illness or ailment. Kerry girl here. Don’t live in Ireland now but I miss it so much.

I haven’t been home since Christmas and I’m missing my family so much. Bloody corona. No idea when it’s safe to fly either. Aer lingus aren’t flying atm from what I can see but Ryanair are from London. I wonder how that will work with social distancing though?

Remember when they tried to make tayto chocolate a thing. It wasn’t a thing. Cheap cooking chocolate, should of used Cadbury’s, blasphemy!

Yes!!! Why didn't cadbury and tayto team up for that, they are the best combo. Bite of each.
Chocolate in them was minging

sorry if this has been mentioned before-

I'm from the north, does anyone remember on a Sunday evening sitting down for your dinner and School Around the Corner with Frank Mitchell would be on, followed by School Choir of the year then we were bathed ready for school the next morning and we always knew it was time to go to sleep when you heard the Heartbeat theme tune play on the TV

A girl I worked with son appeared it ,Frank's retiring shortly.

I still listen to Radio Kerry whilst I am at work in Birmingham UK, my partner works with me and he couldn't believe there was a 'death notice' section of the show and that at Christmas time someone phoned in to advise they found a wallet on the street and could the owner call in and claim it
Anyone go on a family holiday to Bundoran (Fundoran)? cheap as chips in a mobile home for a week nearly killing your siblings and heading off to the casinos in the evening

Omg so so funny. Everyone used to go to lahinch or bundoran

Serious question, if you meet people with an Irish surname; what do you immediately think?
I mean a surname which is understood in English, but which they have changed to the Irish version.
I know exactly what I think!

I still make it too. I always eat too much of it and then it lies heavy.

Boxty also?

 

[Peppa2020]

Does anyone still make champ? Hole in the middle and lots of butter. Eaten with a spoon, not a knife and fork.

Yes with Cabbage & Boiled Bacon Ribs

I am just re watching Angela's Ashes on Netflix. I remember my aunt in New York was disgusted by this, as how it portrayed the Irish!!
