Spent a few nights in Dingle with the missus a few years back. Got ‘talking’ with an older couple at the next table to us. Chatted for about half an hour.., I didn’t understand a fcukin word they said. Lovely people in a beautiful part of the world though.

worked  and drank with lots of the irish boys over the years, from the north and the south of ireland,still great friends with lots of them,worked hard and played hard with them on road works, scrap and tarmac game, even in the fishing industry when we used to barrell herring, but even today, sometimes i encounter lads especially from the south and i cant understand a word they speak,lots of them still use the gaelic lanuage, but saying that all the boys  ihad privilege  to rub shoulders with would have helped you out to the end of the earth , and would have given you the shirt of their backs, good hard working sound men,as they used to say when raising a glass,good luck and all the best,the craic is wonderful.
