Why do Irish people say "bye" at the end of a phone call about 5 times getting progressively quicker, and when did this start ?

Could be worse, it could be Derek Mooney on the other end of the phone only saying it the once.

I thought it was only me. The homosexual Marty Morrissey, without the gravitas.

the dick had 10k, 20k, 50k, 75k and 100k left and he dealt at 24k and would have gotten to open 1 box at a time, Jesus man your on the show once and you have a guaranteed 10k grow a set of balls would ye!

Ps I dnt know what happened as it pissed me off so much.

I would say the same watching on TV, but I'd imagine it's a lot different when you're in that position! While we're on the subject, I think it's a good enough concept for a show, but what grinds my gears is how much Noel drags everything out and makes it out to be incredibly strategic, just open the f**king box and get on with it!

P.s. We're talking about Deal Or No Deal here, right?

No he seems to be talking about Pussys on Deal. It is a show about Wexford hurling.

Ooops - you're right. Just for clarity, then - Marty Morrissey's many remarkable qualities do not include being a homosexual, as far as I know.

(A ladies' man - are you serious?)

The ladies do swoon around Marty when he does be out. Does it ever go anywhere is another question.

Thanks TG. I thought I was the only one. Is that another name for a knife?

Canalman

They are the machines you put your soda bread / viennesse roll etc into which slices them up for you. Usually has a big red emergency  stop button on it in case you mangle your hands in it. Thought they were common enough in the supermarkets.

Mea culpa.
