Where's the hot press?

[MaisieDotes]

So we've been given Craicnet!

Should we ask to change to the Hot Press or just roll with this?

Anyway- we have our own spot!

Child of Prague- definitely little Baby Jesus in fancy clothes and a crown.
I had Tanora today. Tis nice

My mother is constantly informing me of the deaths of people I have never heard of.

I've given up telling her I don't know who they are because that annoys her and prompts a lesson on how we're related- "you do know her Maisie, sure she minded you for an hour when you were 6 months!"

I clicked on that child of Prague link, I'm genuinely surprised it's really Jesus. This is what comes of not going to national school until I was nine and a half.

My DAunt loves a good funeral.
She is the funeral critic par excellence
For example:
The eulogy was too long, 'we' thought he'd never stop talking. It was sooo boring.
The singer wasn't great.
The grandson looked scruffy. You'd think he'd make an effort for his grandmother's funeral!!!
There weren't many there, I'd have expected more.
There's a big funeral on tomorrow, I'll try to get 11 Mass. (Funeral at 11)
She can be positive too though in fairness.

In Donegal there is a radio station called Highland. The first time I ever heard the song "horse it intayya Cynthia" was on that station. They also go in for loads of songs about people who are stuck in places but would rather be in Ireland. Best (or worst)of all at 10.00 they have a bit about who died where they died and when the funeral is.

Child of Prague only works if the head has been "accidentally" knocked off it. My brother magnanimously took it upon himself for Jesus to meet the necessary violence in the garden just as our holy joe neighbor decided to call in and wish me luck. Cringer. Worked though!

I had a mad craving for Snax when I was pregnant the first time. Snax and curry chips. Suspect that may be why I was the size of a fecking house the entire time.

Aha, the mighty craicnet!

I don't drink tea.

And I don't like Mikado

(I do lurve Snax though)

I mean what tastes better than baked polystyrene?

Take that back sqoosh. Snax are gorgeous.

Was it just my family that called it the Infant de Prague?

Helenatroy, I refuse point blank to listen to highland radio unless there is severe snow and I need to see if the schools are closed etc. So about once a decade then. Folks here still check the newspaper for death notices along with rip.ie,and the deaths notices on the aforementioned highland radio.

Oh Lucky I do love Snax. The baked polystyrene is part of their appeal

And I think any person who referred to the Infant de Prague would be said to have 'notions' about themselves.

Other enjoyable polystyrene treats include Burger Bites and Johnny Onion Rings.

Burger Bites were great for disguising the smell of benson and hedges on your fingers on the way home from school.

Infant de Prague? I don't know if I've heard that or not. I'd probably think you were saying "infant o'Prague". Unless you said it in full French pronunciation- you didn't do that, did you?

They don;t even speak French in Prague.

Notions that's what it is.

Maisie Johnny O's are my holy grail savoury snack. They have onion ring crisps in the UK that are also called Johnny Onion Rings but they're not the right ones. They just stole the name.

'great for disguising the smell of benson and hedges on your fingers on the way home from school'

B&H! You were hardcore. We though we were Keith Richards if we shared one Silk Cut purple between 5!

Infant de Prague here too.

I was a complete tool, squoosh

Marlboro, consulate, and then settled on silk cut purple.

Zippo lighters.

I'm loving this. I'm English but with Irish grandparents, most of my friends parents are Irish. All of this is making me laugh. Bet you'll be able to clear up loads of mysteries for me.

Some of it must rubbed off as I saw a young lady with long legs 'up to her oxters' as my friends mum would say , does that mean armpits ?

I lived in Dublin for almost years been back in Scotland years now. Tatyo all the way for me (I read the enuresis thread in a thick Dublin accent?

Ah here Lads! I've had the best laugh for a long time reading down through this! You are all mighty!!!!

Holy feck, just asked OH if he knew Child of Prague was just Baby Jesus in fancy clothes....looked at me like I had ten heads "of course I did who did you think he was, doesn't he have a crown so therefore he is Jesus" .... I thought he was another holy child!

Also still love burger bites and onion rings and the multipacks are seriously low WW points so I feel justified :)
