Yes and no Its a bit Father Ted its sort of an Ecumenical Question you need to think of the greater good and the greater value dont forget go in by Carlingford avoid the Hill down into Newry nice scenic drive along the coast .Big Dorris and the Bingo Girls are working the Buttercrain today always good shoplifting opportunities now up north they can all wear masks so the Facial Recognition Tech dosent alert the Security that the  girls that the Girls are back in town .I bet your humming it !

Again I can see the confusion the Irish Government have closed the Border between the Mother Land Bit of Britain but left the non existent border on the Island of Ireland between down here and up there open .Under the Legendary Good Friday/Belfast Agreement you have freedom of movement between Britain and Ireland access to Brit Dole NHS unless The Irish Government totally disrespect the same Agreement and restrict movement between the Motherland and Dublin Airport and Docks .So the answer to the question has to be who the fuck knows .

So, if I took a spin up tomorrow and a Garda asked the purpose of my trip should I lie and say I have a booking up there or just say I'm shopping. BTW, I haven't had a haggis since February.

Well based on Big Dommos advice he recons when dealing with the Gards tell them what they need to hear not necessarily what they want to hear .

When does Level 5 kick in?

I bet our puppy dole won't be restored to €350 when it does kick in. It's all very well that Mehaul cunt saying we can earn a few notes if we want but, judging by the lack of waiting time on Free Now last night - traditionally one of the hardest nights to find a cab - that's easier said than done. Bring back Dr. Leo. Dr. Leo was great so he was.

Rodent the Scottish Free Prespeterians have issued guidance because of lockdown and not mixing in gaffs that six packs of Porter should not be sold to their mob so if you want to buy loads of porter bring your prayer book .

Last time I was in Lidl they had trays of Draught Guinness (24 x 470ml) and Carlsberg (24 x 500ml) - mix and match - 2 for €33, no need to smuggle it in at those rates.

Ah you couldnt beat the old IRA vodka .Industrial alcohol and a bit of flavouring diluted in big plastic bulk containers and rebottled in 1.5 liter Smirnoff bottles with upside down labels that were collected year round from the Bars of Ulster Says No and recycled £600 a pallett or £3.40 a bottle in bulk .£12 a bottle the Girls in the flats swore by it .

They're shneaky bastids  them Provo  lites.Making industrial alcohol in Armagh and sticking Smirnoff labels on it, then selling it through Dial A Drink.
The  only flaw, apart from the vile taste and toxicity is the label

I used to go racing in the North in late 70s and early 80s-never had any problem-but different world !

When you got near Banbridge, common remark was "they are so black here they hate Ian Paisley"--tons of bent cash around at races ,remember being in Sean Grehams on King St on a Sat morning early ,circa 10am --25 plus slot machines all being played --and one of his lads pointing out UDA guys on opposite side of the street collecting while Provo's collected on our side --pure business !

Passed where Miami were shot a day after incident--shit myself ,couple of guys in kakis with machine guns waved me down --so I slowed thinking I would hit the pedal --they called me on with a wave on seeing the reg--bricking it !

Went racing and asked to give a lift to a guy back to Dundalk as one of the lads knew him--back in El Paso he insisted we have a drink in McCann's,then on to Maguires on Dorset st -(think that was the name)-I felt safer slowing down for the guys in kaki !
My reward a wallet and a wishing well made in H Blocks--appears my passenger was Albert Price !!

No rush back up there, thank you !

Its Poison in a bottle I never sold it but knew plenty who did .If you knew a man who knew a man you could buy slabs of Bud or Guinness for £18 sterling or 24 Punt by the Pallet or truck load retailing down here for £2.40 a can .You could knock it out @ £35 all day .Or the Belly Busters 3 ltr bottles of Bulmers Cider but British Bulmers not the same as our Bulmers thats Called Magners because they never bought the International Brandname for Bulmers .Belly busters were £1.60 which was about £2 punts get £6 punts all day .

Went up this morning and quite pleased that I did. Remarkably few shoppers about for the day that's in it, all quite relaxed and dare I say enjoyable. Picked up a pair of shoes and a few shirts in Debenhams for half nothing... they're practically giving the stuff away, one assumes the store won't be there (for long) after Christmas. Not a Garda or Para in sight either side of the borderless border... and me after rehearsing me speech about my right to travel the Queen's highway under the terms of the common travel blah blah blah, all as Gaelige anall...

You were lucky. I've dropped over the border 3 times in the last month and the shicaloni's have been there every time. They block the M1 off at the carrickdale hotel at junction 20 and herd all the traffic up the ramp. There's no escaping. Not that they were really playing hard ball at the time. It might be a bit different in the current climate with Houlohan and Meehole panicking.

Why would yis want to support northern shops rather than southern ones? Is it to promote the ideal of a United Ireland, or yis are just tight?
Title: Re: Nordies
Post by: Rat Catcher on December 30, 2020, 03:15:29 pm
Yesterday's trip was because I'm tight, I guess. I needed a new alternator and drive belt for Mrs. Catcher's motor - packed in Christmas Eve. €167 from Euro Car Parts, Dublin. Out of stock in Mick's Garage, nearly €200 from a local motor factor for a rebuilt exchange unit. Brand new, non exchange with belt stg£109 from Euro Car Parts, Portadown. carparts4less.co.uk was a bit cheaper but not delivering to any EU country at present.

Christmas Eve's trip was more a matter of convenience. Newry is a 40 minute drive with readily accessible parking and every shop one could need under two adjacent roofs, including - for the time being - Debenhams, which is already gone from Dublin's shopping centres... and I have a haggis in the freezer for Burn's night. Dublin shopping centres are a nightmare to get to and park in of a quiet Sunday never mind Christmas Eve.
