Kilos of Craic
Grandad September 30th, 2007
I don’t know how I forgot to mention this.
It’s one of those little lapses that happens with old age, I suppose.
There is a new web site up and running. It’s only a new-born so there will doubtless be sleepless nights, and loads of nappies to be changed.
It’s called Kilos of Craic.
So what is it all about?
Just think of four or five people sitting in a pub, having a bit of a laugh. The conversation flows freely and the topic changes from minute to minute. Now imagine that those people are in fact sitting up to 12,000 miles apart! That is Kilos of Craic.
A group of us - Jefferson Davis, BrianF, Baino, Doctor Don and myself get together once in a while and have a group chat in the Interweb. Sometimes we have contributions from others, like Daz. It can be weird, zany, crude and even funny. It can be very disjointed, because, like any good craic, it is unscripted.
As for who is who? This episode starts with me bitching about my software. I’m the one with the non-American, non-Australian accent. Baino is the soft Australian female voice. Jefferson is the one with the Southern Drawl, and BrianF is the other one - the one who never shuts up. Doctor Don makes the odd appearance [so if you hear a strange voice cut in, it's probably him. He doesn't say much].
So head over to Kilos of Craic and have a listen. Let’s know what you think.
Incidentally - Craic means ‘fun’, ‘laughter’, ‘good conversation’.
Not to be confused with Cráic which means ‘arsehole’

Be warned! - St. Vincent’s is renowned as a centre of Cráic excellence. But at least it serves semi-decent coffee to revive you afterwards!
Thanks for the blurb, Grandad.
And, I just found a new pet name for my art professor.
How does one properly pronounce Cráic?
Steph - I am going in there in a consultative capacity. The Consultants are looking to me for advice. I am a man of many talents.
JD - Crá is pronounced as in Crawl, so it’s sort of Crawik [without pronouncing the 'w']. Is that any help?
If you have any problems, just call him “Arsehole”.
Don’t believe them! It’s just a ploy to get you into the place. Once you go in there, you never come out. And whatever else you do, don’t venture near St. Monica’s (MRSA isolation unit) - it truly is the Cráic of the hospital!
It’s all right, Steph. I’m going to the offices, not the wards. They have seen my attitude to Miss Piggy, and I am advising them on staging a coup against the HSE.
Good luck! I’d tackle Prof Drumm any day but I wouldn’t fancy getting into a scrum with the other one! C’mon Ireland!
I prefer…The one with the gift of the gab.
“The one who never shuts up” is a better description….
Occasionally? I was there before you, I believe.
I just re-listened to the episode and I might bet that you would win the motor-mouth award for this episode. The Pope doing a crossword on a commercial airliner!! Geez!
Either way we are both good story tellers.
… good story tellers …
A new fashioned way of saying long-winded?
Sorry, Daz. I was referring to Kilos of Craic. Not to be confused with The Jefferson Davis Podcast!
That bit about the pope doing the crossword was a mistake. I was warming up, and hoped it would be edited out!
Good story tellers = the ability to waffle, because no one else is saying anything.
