For fjgrogan ---- Canon Barbara Fryday, lives in Dundrum, (On the Farm) main Church in Clonmel -- known locally as "The Reverend" -- nothing more -- typically Irish !!

As I said, a lovely Lady -- with a capital L -- has 2 grown up children -- I always think of her a a Farmer, rather than a Cleric.
She has been appointed to the Synod -- where I believe she is a breath of Fresh Air !!!

I used to play with her Mother, when we were kids, in Courtown, wher most of the Male Masseys drowned -- being Fishermen -- the last one -- Matt-- (torpedoed as 2nd Officer), during the War.

Do you know that the Irish speak in questions ? --- and isn't it me that's tellin' ye ?

And didn't me man's Da come from Clonmel, and didn't we go nuts trying to find our way out from it back onto the road to Cork. This was following Joe's daughter's wedding in Glandore in 1996.

Brilliant ! :lol:

But won't yer Moderator Man, be after ye, if we keep this up ?

There is a lot of "Stage Irish" spoken -- for instance I have never heard anyone say "Begorrah !" although TBA was buying a jacket, and the Saleslady said to her "Why don't you try it on -- tobesure, tobesure ?
Exit (Yorkshire) TBA to the changing rooms --- muffling giggles !

I imagine few Scotsmen say "Och Aye " ? or Welshmen "Look You "

Me: (choosing a mobile phone in shop, puzzling over instruction book) Could you just tell me what this symbol means?

Gorgeous Irish salesman: And sure - what would you like it to mean?
