Why do Irish people find it so hard to finish a phone call? Ever wondered about the healing powers of dock leaves, flat 7UP and Sudocrem? Love the sound of Miggeldy Higens but not sure who he is? Confused about the difference between ‘going out’ and ‘going out-out’?

going out-out? Have they just stolen that one from Mickey Flanagan?
Snap!

“Miggeldy Higens” – please stop with this

Oh hilarious stuff altogether, I am cracking up here.
No, I am not. And as for ”Love the sound of Miggeldy Higens but not sure who he is? ”
He’s the guy who promised one term and then broke that promise and everybody (well, less than 25% of the electorate with a valid vote at least) loves because of his funny voice and twee imagery.
Most of the stuff in here has already being tackled by Irish comedians (and Des Bishop, ‘personality’).
In essence, a load of ball – ox.
