This was the weekend I was supposed to be inducted into RRWAP (Rochestown Road Women Against Poverty - itâs a charity that laughs at poor people.) Unfortunately, they ran a background check and discovered my dark secret. You see, 14 years ago, I won a makeover competition o where they plucked some poor misfortunate from Fairhill and turned her into a southsider. It was great, they taught me to say âexcited aboutâ instead of âexcited forâ, and also the importance of crossing Patrick Street so you donât get sucked into Penneys. Anyway Chloe, the head of RRWAP, says if I donât give her the keys to my house to Crookhaven sheâs going to hire a plane to fly over the Rochestown Road with a banner saying, âTina is a Norryâ. Do you think I should break her legs like? âTina, Rochestown Road and Fairhill #Ashamed.
I couldnât possibly condone violence. And listen, youâve absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I know it isnât Sundays Well or Blackrock, but there is nothing wrong with the Rochestown Road, (As long as the wind isnât blowing from Passage.)
