Liars
Grandad September 21st, 2008
When I was away, all I heard from home was complaints about the weather.
While I was basking in thirty degree sunshine, you lot were bitching about the cold and the rain.
I expected to arrive back in Ireland and to be diverted all over the place because of flooding. I was concerned that I mightn’t be able to get home. I was worried that there mightn’t be a home to get to.
And what do I find?
Dry roads.
No floods in sight.
Blue skies.
Sunshine.
Yiz are all a pack of moaners, whingers and begrudgers,
and liars.

I hope you aren’t planning on leaving the country anytime soon as you seem to have brought that good weather back here with you!
Robert – I’m sure I can be persuaded to stay. The usual brown envelope will suffice.
It’s on its way but I need a guarantee!
My word is my bond.
yes its all true – we are a pack of whingers!! but you love us really!!
Of course I do.No I don’t.Begrudgers? Us?
I wonder where we get that from?!
Ha! Enjoy it while it lasts cos you know it wont!
yes you dooooo!!!!!!!
Welcome back ya aul *beep*!!!!!
Maxi – Are you casting nasturtiums?
Kate – I’ll think about it for a while. I’ll get back to you [as they say].
NaRocRoc – Thank you [assuming *beep* = 'friend'?]
Shall I do some digging around RTÉ’s website to show you how wet/rainy/floody it was while you were gone?
TheChrisD – I wouldn’t inflict such a horror on you. you don’t know what you might catch. Anyway they are a shower of liars too. Just ask the Minister for
PovertyFinance.If I knew what they were I’d give it a go!!!
Maxi – You don’t know about casting nasturtiums? I’m surprised.
You know how it goes…bring your car to the mechanic and the thing stops making that crunching sound every time the right front tire goes round. Soon as you make 2 miles down the road, the crunching comes back.
You go away and it’s nothing but lousy weather (or that’s just how your friends felt with you gone) and that’s all they complain about. You come home and all the lousy weather goes away and everyone’s happy again.
Enjoy it and don’t think for one minute it really has anything to do with you.
Kirk M – So what you are saying is that the weather here was fine all along? They just felt like it was wet and miserable because I wasn’t around? Hmm. You could be right.
Oh yeah, I once cast a nasturtium and damn if I didn’t catch me a big old cod with it. Went back to the bait shop for more and the guy told me he stopped selling those nasturtiums for bait when folks started smoking ‘em instead. Made better profit that way.
Ah, to call someone a bollox?
Never!!
[...] Also apparently, he took the fine weather Ireland was having with him when he left (selfish ain’t he?) and all his friends had to tell him while he was gone was complaints about the lousy weather or so he says. Of course, when he arrives back from holiday a few days ago, he brought all the fine weather back with him. Now he thinks all his friends are a bunch of liars, malcontents and whiners. [...]
I cast nasties all the time…
Kirk M – The first thing you should do with anything is to try smoking it.
Maxi – Try it. It’s fun. Just make sure they are shorter than you.
Michelle – It’s a lot better than natting casties.
Indeed Grandad, indeed!
