Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
We are not so crude here Gummy, we refer to Johnnies as Gallic epistles.
One could not avail oneself of protective sheaths in this country as they were banned along with Playboy magazine and the likes until the 1990’s.
That kid in the video is the spit of Dennis Waterman when he was young. Ganseys must be making a comeback I saw a white one and a blue one, I used to have a green one for Paddy’s day.
That video was very funny Solo and it brought back many memories, the last time I went to confession was the night before I got married 52 years ago.
I used to be an altar boy and all the priests knew me, Fr. Jack (flash) Kavanagh used to have a huge queue outside his box as he was by far the quickest and didn’t linger by asking you any questions, only the very old people went to the other boxes. My dad was very strict on religion and I had to go to confession once a week. One Saturday I went to flash’s box, He slid the panel back and saw me staring him in the face and says “Jimmy, can’t you see I’m very busy, get out and don’t be wasting me time”
Some priests had very loud voices and the people outside waiting could hear what they were saying, things like “You filthy beast” and “Be God your a right little Casanova ain’t yeh? yeh brazen cur” we’d all be waiting for yerman to come out to get a look at the lucky devi, you know, sort of wondering what he had that we hadn't got.
