I thought it might have been some new fangled type or make of runner. Tis a new one for me, guhey, or guhie, or gooey, or whatever  :laugh:
It could even be spelled guhey. I never seen the word written down but it's what we called them as kids.  ;D

Yeah as far as I know 'tackies' is unknown outside the borders of Limerick.

When I was in college in Cork (having been there only once in my life before that) some of their lingo bewildered me aswell. 'He's odd with you because you pure flah'd the situation like'.

Scotland is probably rightly viewed as where you find the most unintelligible dialect of English in these islands but I defy any Johnny Blow-In to spend a fe W days in Knocknaheeny or Darndale and understand the vocabulary never mind the accent!

Invite them down to most of tipp it will be a struggle as well. Or try bringing them to kilkenny without getting sick, although that isn't the accent and only appears to apply from may to September.

Was having a conversation with the daughter the other day and she was all "we don't have any accent do we". The innocence of youth..

"Not since I beat the mid Atlantic my so called life out of you"

I wouldn't put some poor bastard anywhere near Darndale for longer than it takes to drive through it

Kilkenny CITY is certainly easier on the eye than Tipp Town. Equally awful on earholes.

Man, tipp town is surely top 5 material for most depressing places on the island. Kilkenny Bigger Town is a grand spot to be fair

Had the first proper hoot off a bit of green there for the first time in more than a year over the last week.  Made a pinner one day as a test, was fearing for my life having not been near it in so long but it went down a treat.  Out in the -3° crispy weather in town for a long stroll, early morning, a grand refresher.

Subsequently fucked it up completely by getting brave and packing the bowl out twice as bad as planned the next morning, having to talk myself down from a whitener while in the middle of town, total disarray, dose of the stills and general impending doom for breakfast.  Not ideal.

Both. But in a different tone for each.

Discovering that if you skip a YouTube video right to the end and hit the Replay loop when it shows, the video/song will play back without any ads.
Handy for those without Vanced or AdBlocker.
