You know you're getting old.... (1 Viewer)

[Deadmanposting]

On my way home I heard Edel Coffey on the radio talking about her new book. Did she not post here one time? Like 18 years ago? I remember going to a house party in Rathmines where she lived with her partner at the time. She has 4 kids and two books now! I never knew. Fairplay. I need to check them out. It also made me feel old and unambitious.

She got a job in teh civil service and wrote books in her down time

i wonder did she base any of the characters in her book on thumpeders.

I had Big Chat with the mother of a lad who I occasionally work with. I promised to have a word.

He's miles ahead of me in this career, but being young, he doesn't know that this stuff doesn't come easy to most of us.
Lovely kid, and worthy of his position. just apparently realising that adulting happens when you're an adult.

He needs a few days turning turf down the bog or something.

*footing turf.

You’ve been in the big smoke too long.

No. Turning turf was the torture that this lanky corporeal being had trouble with. Sometimes we had to turn it twice.
Footing turf I genuinely could do all day every day. Shtucking, loading, loved it. Driving the big tractor.

But the turning was horrible to my big lanky ass.

It’s streamlined now.

I've been on the Jagermeisters tonight.

But turning turf was most of the work.

Maybe I'm a different kind of bogger to you, in a different bog.

I've never self-identified as a Bogger before, but I know Cormcolash is there.....waiting.

I did get to meet some cool frogs.

 

[seanc]

I'm in my gaff now. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I really feel like I want to shtuck turf. My opinion might change by morning.

You should get one of those turf incense things they sell to Americans.

 

[seanc]

The best part was waiting till someone got into a rythymnmn and then fucking a lump of turf at Thier head.

I'd rather turn turf than pick stones.

Her first book was about someone leaving her kid in the car on a hot day and the kid dying. I just couldn't bear the thought of reading it

Jayzis! Cheery stuff!

Jayzis! Cheery stuff!

It was based on a classic thread.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Her new book is about an old convict who is trying to go straight but some gangsters have kidnapped his daughter so he has to get the old crew back together to do one last heist so the mobsters will release his daughter.

Its a crime thriller, but at its core its about, family,
