I fondly remember boisterous lads referred to as 'knuicks' or 'heverils'.

Well a knuick was actually more of a cnut to be honest. Heveril was more of a lad.

Also has anyone, instead of saying 'against' said 'forninst' - as in 'he stood with his back forninst the wall'

And who now 'pegs' things in the bin?

And does anyones else's D4 accented daughter slag their Da over their Lawngford axcint?

You need to convert the files to .mp4 format.

Download this super bit of software at www.videora.com which will compress and convert the .avi or mpeg files.

Also handy for uploading to youtube as it plays .mp4s and they reduce the size of the video files considerably.

Billy is horrid passionate about these things, as am I. It's like insulting our mothers.

You are young. You will learn.

Ara no Shane. I do recall that name from a time when I was a nipper a long time ago. It just didn't gell with those whose surname wasn't O'Farrell. Or Farrell which is moe common nowadays in Longford.

So the Shores, Boots, Eyes, Ordians don't really salute that flag. Or the other 99% of the county

We're happy the way we are. No real official nickname, no real offical purpose, no real offical point.

We stil have more National League titles than Westmeath though.

Please take the word of some native Longford people over some auld article.

We will accept the O'Farrell County at a push but we will NUVUR accept 'The Slashers'.

Longford Slashers - club formed in early 50s when Longford Wanderers merged with Whiterock Slashers.

Whiterock Slashers named after Myles "the Slasher" Reilly, who died in 1646 while defending the bridge in Finea against the Redcoats. Finea is on the Cavan/Westmeath border.

So please please please please to infinity desist.

He was a banger on the Offaly team. Nippy cnut of a corner forward.

Allow me to be awkward but I think the original picks from last Sun should carry into the refixture of the Fermanagh v Limerick game to cater for the lads who missed out on the chance of +2 points (-2 as well so I may be shooting myself in the foot but I am willing to take the risk)

I'll throw a few bob into the meter later on.

(Nobody came back to me with my offer of a wee prize for the winner)

I was the same as Benny. Had Fermanagh as the bonus. The game is Sunday two weeks so I think, in fairness, the picks should be used here.

Final score from a sunny Pearse Park:

London 0-08

A 26 point win for Longford. Shame on ye who picked London in the spreads  :o
