Very Irish Things

A thread of appreciation of things that only seem to happen in Ireland.

I was away for two weeks and a couple of days after I returned the postman knocked on my door with a big bag of packages ( they were sent from work, only two were very delayed orders). He realised I was away so instead of leaving them and risking theft or damage he stored them for me.

Anyone else any good stories?

I get a trauma response when we’ve left the immersion on @manontroppo 😀
That card is great @Kettering- so true. When we were really sick we got Lucozade 🤮

Aww, I like Lucozade, the original one anyway 😁
’Your Peter’s better now then?’ is imprinted on my memory (definitely showing my age!!)

That's such a cardinal sin 😂

Bloody hell. I just discovered one ring of the cooker had been on low since I cooked breakfast, and I thought I was doomed to spend the winter in the workhouse.

The immersion.

Weeks.

Repeat, bloody hell.

You’ll probably have to sell a kidney when the bill comes in.
