I see says the blindman after someone, maybe the vet has or the accountant has given a realy detailed and technical explanation and you haven't managed to understand it fully

Pure scandalous. The price in the mart/price in the creamery or tax demand is pure scandelous. Adopt a high pitched tone to emphasis the outrage

Maybe not PC but a difficult ram or a difficult bull that was as soon as go for you as move is a dirty Protestant. How that started I don't know but Protestant seems to mean stubborn

On that note Cloughjordan in Co Tipp is known as little Belfast due the local population. Nothing bad meant by it but it's noticeable who lives there

I would'nt get up on her to look out over a hedge

Sharp as a sausage.
Thick as a plank.
Deaf as a post.
Slow as a wet week.
Blind as bat.
Bald as a coot.
Hoarse as a cuckoo.
Strong as a bull.
Sound as a trout.
Weak (pronounced wake!) as water.
Pissed as a newt.
Hot as the hob of hell.
Cool as ice.
Fat as a fool.
Lucky as a cut cat.
Dry as snuff.

Came up with a few more there last night.......... many of them farm related.

A wet and windy May, Fills the haggart with corn and hay
Far away fields are greener (hills are green far away)
There’s many ways to kill a pig than choking it with butter (more than one way to skin a cat)
One swallow never a summer made
You’I never plough a field by turning it over in your mind
The work praises the man
An empty sack won’t stand (no good trying to work on an empty stomach)
A good start is half the battle
There’s no place like home (no hearth like your own hearth)
No use crying over spilt milk
A wild goose never tamed a wild gosling
There’s no need to fear the wind when your haystacks are tied down
No point closing the door after the horse has bolted
You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear
No use boiling your cabbage twice
If you lie down with dog’s you’I rise with fleas
It’s often a person’s mouth that broke their nose
You can take the man out of the bog, but you can’t take the bog out of the man
The old dog for the hard road, the pup for the footpath

Any of ye listen to gift grub in the mornings on Today FM?

Here's a few of the one's that I remember off the top of my head from it....


A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea
Even a tin knocker shines on a dirty door
An old broom know the dirty corners best
A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe
Never give cherries to pigs, nor advice to a fool

.And my personal favorite………..

You’I never knock a tune out a fiddle, with your hands all over your flute!!

clover 1

he/she has a touch of tetany

to describe someone who is drunk

Muckit

Make hay while the sun shines

Half a loaf is better than no bread

Beef to the heels like a mullingar heifer

Muckit

Where there's muck, there's luck!

Better to be thought a fool and keep your mouth shut than open it and remove all doubt.

Perspiring - "Sweating like a fat lass at a disco"
Daft - "The stairs don't reach the landing" or "a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic"
