Aaah The confession box where verbal slappings takes place. You wince for a moment then leave safe in the knowledge you are temporarily cleansed so can risk yet another human misdemeanor at the first chance you get.

Having once worked with nuns they told me what penances they would really like to dole out because at heart like us sinners, they too are a vindictive lot with a sense of humour.

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.

Gansey. Lovely word and far nicer than jumper.

Being born virtually on the sea shore I have always had a gansey usually made for me in the more feminine fawn rather than the navy which were knitted on 5 or more wires with complicated patterns which were memorised and passed down unwritten from mother to daughter.

The mens working ganseys were rarely washed and there was no doubt that a layer of filth would have added to the general protective effect. They did have a 'Sunday best' gansey which was worn for church and holidays.

I had cause to go to Bridlington and whilst there I made a point of looking at the Steve Carvills Gansey girl statue. As nice as it is, it is a very romanticised depiction as there is no way a mere slip of a girl could sit on the end of a quay, hold 5 wires, heavy wool and actually knit in a gale force wind with salt spray blowing in your face and half blinding you no matter how good your memory is.

A couple of fishermen mending their nets who had pointed me in the right direction to see her agreed and gave me a couple of mackerel, so all in all a good visit.

Which leads me neatly onto Gallic epistles. Nearest I can get to that is an old army ditty which was usually sung full voiced after a few San Miguels
