Sorting out Cork people for ages
Hello old stock. Myself and Hoggy went for a quick few pints after the Wales match in Dublin, and as of lunchtime Thursday, we are still out on the lash with two very game ladies from just outside Swansea. (Don’t ask me their names. You know the way it is with the Welsh, you might as well be trying to understand a Norrie with a new set of teeth.) Anyway, I don’t want to ring the wife Marjorie, because my voice is gone from shouting ‘One more for road, Hoggy old stock?’ Could you tell her that I’ll be home some time Saturday afternoon weather permitting, but I’ll be heading straight back out again. (Meeting Hoggy for a pint.) — Reggie, Blackrock
