      I have a bronze plaque – a Kinsale piece above my fireplace with the original slogan – I’m taking it down – because I’ve got your version in my head.

        I both apologise and am delighted.
        It’s actually even better in English (gasp!)

    Always wanted to open a wine shop near the Swan Shopping Centre and call it “The Grapes of Rathmines”.

      Many years ago, I was working in the SFX at a David Lee Roth gig. We were doing the load-out and the drapes – big black curtains that hang from the lighting rig- were-being loaded into the kind of metal box, known in the trade as a ‘stillage’, usually used for scaffolding, but being adapted in this case. In anyway, the drapes were proving unruly and a few lads were jumping up and down on them to make them fit so we’d get the yoke into the truck.
      ‘What are they doing?’ asks a curious passing crew member.
      Quick as a flash sez I:
      ‘they’re trampling on the stillage where the drapes of Roth are stored’

      No one got it, but I was very pleased with meself.

        I worked for a Software company in London, desk on the 4th floor. Arrived into work one day, three of the lads ahead of me get into the elevator, see i’m coming and hold the door of it for me.

    I’m sure that there was a firm of solicitors called Argue and Phibbs way back, in Donegal I think

    I thought this was martco’s weekly recipe but it’s not and how disappointing.

    There actually was/is a food truck in the States which served Irish and Eritrean food. The sign on the front read: ÉireTrea
