Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
“Half of the schools in Northern Ireland are in the red this year” Headline news on BBC Northern Ireland News last night.Anyone know how the expression ‘in the red’ originated? What colour reflects your situation?
Are you in the red?
Are you in the black?
Are you in the pink?
Are you in the brown stuff?
Or is it all a very grey area?
Well whatever you're in don't worry about it, there's always help around.

All part of the ageing process Spitty me lad.
This can be crisis time in your personality, a very worrying time, decision time for you, getting serious is the first big step in becoming a cranky old git, you must curtail those feelings at once.
I suggest a week or two arguing in the political sections to get it all out of your system, if you survive that and enjoy it then you’ll take root there and never laugh again, however if you can’t take it you will return to your normal happy self, I know. I was that soldier, as the song goes.
Get a hold of yourself man, be fair and think of the grandkids and all your loved ones, ask yourself do they deserve a serious cranky old grandad?

I took it to another Garage for a second opinion, and it passed. Not sure what to make of it all.

I haven't got a car but I have a MOT, have her for decades now.Mot
Mot is an Irish slang word for 'girlfriend'.
The word originates in from the Irish 'maith' which means good. Caillín maith meaning 'good girl' became a way of refering to your girl friend.
Over the years the word changed so it was simply 'mot', which became used by Dubliners.
Now is widely used to refer to all women of similar ages and not just girlfriends.
"Me mots coming over later"
