When 'Oirish' Eyes are Smiling - at the Brits!

Can you explain the relevance of your thread title please?

I don't get it either, Maw.

Presumably the article is written by Mary Kenny, the feminist writer from Ireland?
I too, am unsure how the title of the thread relates to the content...

Me neither.

How dd I know Rusus2 Would have arrived at Gransnet via the Oldie mag?

Peter Pan said it first. "To die would be an awfully big adventure".

Can you explain the relevance of your thread title please?
Maw; My! we are slow today! Perhaps a result of putting your clocks back a bit too far!
Sorry for the confusion, but I didn't want to stress you so early in the day by quoting chunks of Mary's article,( btw. she came up with the title so don't shoot the messenger,) but for your benefit she also said "Oirish" jokes are a thing of the past. Now the English are the targets as Ireland profits from the Brexit shambles"
Perhaps you could do me the honour of explaining the relevance of that!?
No, don't bother, I've worked it out for myself!
You're a bit younger than me, but I can still recall the old jokes about Irish blokes and pubs! You have to laugh!
OoRoo

Rufus2 - not confusing, just wondered what the you are going on about! One minute it's euthanasia , the next Brexit and if I can't even read the article that you are supposedly quoting from, what is the point of your post ?

Well, well, well! So we meet again after you telling me last year that my posts were rubbish and that you would never read them again. What's changed? Obviously needing a shot of culture!
As you know, "The Oldie" mag. is full of humorous articles, cartoons, jokes and culture, so GN placed an advert. and that's how they got me! How lucky is that!? more

I don't somehow think the Oldie mag would be full of my kind of humour. But you carry on enjoying it. Everyone has their level.

can't even read the article that you are supposedly quoting from
Jaylucy; No supposedly about it! Please lighten up and read my clarifying post to Maw;
I'd also recommend purchasing a sub. to "The Oldie" for a good read. If you don't know, it's a monthly UK mag., only £4.50 an issue and well worth it. Let me know how you go! OoRoo

Tenuous at best. Glad I was not alone, but Irish jokes, you’ve got to laugh
Really?
Also blonde jokes, Essex jokes, etc etc etc?

my kind of humour
Now I wonder what kind that would be, although we have a bit of an idea from your posts, but do let on and I can supply you with more material than you need;

My Irish family used to come up with the best Irish jokes. Sister Mary who looked after my gran came up with some corkers.

When I was a teenager a man commented on my Irish blue eyes. I was too shy to tell him they were actually Wolverhampton blue eyes! My Mum had hazel eyes and her siblings various shades of brown. There are rumours of a shipwrecked sailor from the Armada!

Also blonde jokes, Essex jokes, etc etc etc? hmm
That's the spirit Maw! Now you're getting into the swing of things!
