Institutionalise This is Not going to like this one little bit.
He’s such an angry little parsnip.
NOT ONE LITTLE BIT!
PARSNIPS
I’m lost, but d’ja know what, I’m happy.
You got that right Paps
Spice girls tickets still on sale, looks like it’s far from a sell out so far….
Presume that’s the TM issue where they are unavailable due to being held for purchase but then freed up when sessions collapse.
Hah one of the girls in the office was losing her poopy this morning for that exact reason.
Why are the parsnips so angry? It’s a nasty stereotype that thick white vegetables are angry all the time.
Although celeriac does look like it got a nasty slap in the baws.
I don’t know what any of them vegetables have to complain about at least they’re not a turnip.
Or a sprout.
Bleugh
See they have marmite sprouts now? Animals.
I love parsnips, turnips and sprouts.
It’s coz I’m fierce posh.
That’s not what I heard.
I heard you’re a muckeen with delusions of grandeur.
I was raised on turnips, cabbage and broccoli and hated them so much. The Christmas miracle is that I’m actually fine with all of them, now, but sometimes the past, it haunts me.
Ehm, Cork is a city, like. So shurrup with your “mucker” slurs.
I will freely admit to the notions bit.
#metoo
but I now realise that I hated vegetables because my mother would boil every last drop of flavour and nutrients before serving them.
Now, I eat them while they still have a bit of crunch!
Except for the turnip, presumably. ‘If a turnip goes crunch it’s your teeth for lunch’ as my dear old granny used to say.
three things:
1. I said “a bit of crunch”
2. ignoring #1, raw turnip is loverly… with a smidge of salt.
3. your granny’s din-chewers may have been a bit dodgy – but I have all my own teeth so can manage a bit of turnip!
Cian, about to sprinkle some salt on a nice piece of raw turnip.

Fun fact, carrots were originally thick white vegetables (and other varieties of purple or yellow) until the white ones were managed or modified to increase carotene until they turned into the orange carrot we have today.
And it was all done to be more patriotic by the dutch too.
True that, William of Orange and all that.
I’m sure the illiberal far-lefties will, in continuing their current trajectory, have to ban carrots for their role in promoting monarchies, colonialism and Dutch patriotism… :0p’
I wish i was ahead of the game on these xmas fads. Id buy up half the stock and rinse people for them before the big day. 500e for a barbie. the true meaning of xmas
@Nigel: I hear they go well with gammon.
I will evermore think of Irish gammons as parsnips.
I think they need to introduce street chess or reintroduce handball or something in Cobh.
Half the town in Aldi buying toy carrots, hah? Have ye nothing better to be doing with yeer time?
They have kids, which accounts for most of their time.

It’s the whole carrot and stick thing with addictive consumerism. People can easily be told they have to buy poop.
where can I buy a lidl stick?
Send me fifty, no, sixty Euros and I’ll pop one in the post for ya.
Q.Have We Lost The True Meaning Of Christmas?
A. Yes, 100%. But the true meaning will go on sale tmrw morning @ 4am, see you there guys!!
#90=craic
The consumer panic always titillates me at this time of year.
I enjoy the smuggery.
I just realised when you’re plotting behind someone’s back and feeling pretty pleased with yourself about it it’s smugduggery.
I very, very much appreciate this.
Anyone for the last of the Fidget Spinners?
God love you both, how much did all that poop cost ya?
Wan for fifty, three for a euro!
