As a serious study of the nuances of the English language as spoken in Ireland, this book is as useful as tits on a bull. On the other hand, if you’d like to have a baldy of understanding the various expressions you regularly hear around Ireland, you’d have to be off your face to ignore it. So stall the ball there! Whether you’re a fine bit of stuff or you have a head like a lump of wet turf, this invaluable collection of Ireland’s most treasured (and irreverent) sayings is definitely worth having a gander at!

COLIN MURPHY is the co-author of a series of successful books on aspects of Irish culture, and as someone with a head like a lump of wet turf, is well versed in the vast range of sayings used the length and breadth of the country. (He is in his wick!) He is a full-time author now but used to work in the advertising industry, who are a right shower of savages, and there he developed a powerful reputation as someone who would lick drink off a scabby leg. He is married to a fine bit of stuff and has two grown-up kids who’d put the heart crossways in ye. DONAL O’DEA is also the co-author of a series of successful books on Irish culture. He is regularly as sick as a plane to Lourdes, mainly because he has a great lip for the stout. He has been running around like a blue-arsed fly trying to finish this book while also making films. He is widely known in advertising circles, mainly because when it’s his round he’s as tight as a camel’s arse in a sandstorm. He is married to a queer bit of skirt and has three childer who are always up to ninety.
