When I’m watching telly, I keep losing the remote control when I wear trousers. When I wear a skirt, I can plonk it in the lap of my skirt and I never, ever lose it!!!

Was mightily impressed with the Fijian rugby teams track suits some of their players were wearing in their recent near miss against Wales at RWC 2023 in Bordeaux. A number of their players who didn’t feature in the game wore what appeared to be black skirts in their post match huddle (I understand t...

Brilliant!!!!

It seems that if you're a man, the manner in which we are allowed ti express ourselves gets smaller and smaller. Don't worry, that's only been going on for a half-century and, like a runaway train, is gaining speed. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/01/caitlin-moran-whats-gone-wrong-for-...

In Ireland we frequently refer to the toilet as ‘the jacks’. Not sure if it is a play on that other name for the toilet in common usage ‘the John’.

Not particularly Irish but some people also say, “I’m just going to see a man about a dog”!

Trying to appear random I have asked her why she is wearing a skirt at times or wearing pants. I usually get a because I felt like it or because I can. I've pointed out that she gets to choose, however I don't get the option of choice, or having the right to feel like wearing a skirt. Men's feeling...

If i'm honest, I will say that I much prefer skirts on women. At least, the kind of skirts that appeal to me just accentuate women's femininity and make them that much more appealing, but the modern world being what it is, you'll be hard-pressed to find women that appreciate and adopt that classic ...

…. better to be overly comprehensive than err on postponing posting potentially previously proposed publications. Any language specialists here?

Hi ScotL

I’m not a language specialist but I do recognise a particularly impressive piece of alliteration when I see one!!! Well done.

FSD, Now I'd gladly buy you a pint for yer mind, but I'd suggest you try it with your taste buds and stomach, first. I doubt if even foreigners would be confused by having a pint bought for them. By the 60s I was heavily involved with a leggy Surbiton Sasannach lass whose education didn't include I...

Indeed, FSD. I'm of a generation brought up on fadas and buailtes and when Roman type with 'h's came in my reading of Irish texts slowed down a lot and to this day I'm not comfortable with it. Next time you meet a Dub, How do you go about putting a dot over his bee? Buy him a pint, I suppose. Tom H...

But the 26-letter English alphabet is a poor fit for Gaelic languages, judging by the number of extra letters it takes to write anything.... Interestingly there are only 18 letters in the traditional Irish alphabet as we don’t use j, k, q, v, w, x, y, or z. Though we sometimes shorten words by usin...

I note in their FAQ that post-Brexit they don’t ship to the UK

Here's a thought and it relates to the recent trend toward dressing "down" in daily life. What you witnessed was choice in action. Those females probably go "drab" in their day to day wear and thought a little dressing "up" was in order. Taking that more broadly, the p...

I am happy to go along with that as I am not sure I’d be comfortable meeting someone I knew whilst skirted. There is the whole problem in a single sentence FISDU. Until men wearing skirts and their significant others alongside are comfortable in the world at large, we will have achieved little or n...
