Ask Audrey: The internet knows I’m looking for knickers

C’mere, what’s the story with the new Brittany Ferries boat, that’s going to sail from Cork to Spain, being called Connemara. Seriously like, if they want to sail from Galway, let them sail from Galway. This do be more of it now – I’m surprised they didn’t call it Dublin. Why couldn’t they just have a vote for Cork people, so we could pick a suitable name? – Dowcha Donie, Blackpool, I do be completely livid about this.

You do be livid about everything. I’m with you on this one though. What is this obsession with Connemara and the west coast? The place is riddled with bongo players who smell of kimchi and mushrooms. I asked my friend in marketing why they didn’t name the boat with a high-viz Leeside vox pop. (That’s the way they talk in marketing.) She said don’t be ridiculous, you know what Cork people would call it. I said do you mean De Boat? She said no, Corky McLangerSham. I said, you’re so right.
