Best spelt reply of the year

Hardy - there's a story behind why Billy and I can spell onomatopoeia but that's another day's work!

Jaysus SS, don't remind me.

Nothing too exciting Hardy. All goes back to our English teacher in Mels in 2nd year in 1980. Would you believe that this was the first time he ever taught English! Anyway we came across 'onomatopoeia' and he hadn't a baldy what it meant and so he spent the entire class getting us all to remember how to spell it.

Ah, it's nothing interesting really; when myself and SS were in secondary school we had a gloriously inept English (the language) teacher who was obsessed by Greek (the language).  We learned very little about English, apart from a lot of English words that had their origin in Greek, including ...

I can spell it because, ahem, most of our English exams in school were actually about how much of the English language derived from Greek (and marks were allotted for spelling).

How did a yerra slagging match turn into this?

Was the '78 All-Ireland final, the last time Dublin left in 5 goals?

Indeed. Still, we mustn't let the slagging flag. The only joke I've heard so far about Sunday:

What's the difference between a Dublin goalie and a Dublin taxi driver?
- The taxi driver will only let four in.

Or, "Whats the time?  5 past cluxton........"

why are Dubliners so good at selling drugs but so shit at playing football ?

Why are the kerrymen so good at poking their sisters and yet so shit at hurling?

No, that was the last time Dublin let in 5 goals.

Maybe we should take up selling drugs in Mayo based on that observation.

Dublin has the highest rates of incest in the country, so maybe your throwing a stone in a greenhouse there.

Is that because of all the country folk living there ?

Enough give the poor Dubs a break......

A I'm not slagging, I only have two posts on this thread and the other was to say that if selling drugs and poor football are somehow connected re someone elses comment, Maybe Mayo should look into it. A Mayoman is not going to rubbish Dublin this week, at least they still in it.

But it was Coddler who made a comment about Kerry people poking their sisters, this stupid comment out of Dubs I have heard it quite a bit. But 3 or 4 years back there was a report in the papers saying the traditional county of Dublin had far higher rates of incest than any other traditional county. When I found that article I made sure the Dubs I worked with read it, after that they had to stop the country folk shaging their relatives jokes as I had shown them the evidence that they the Dubs where far more likely to be the sick b**tards.
