thats not a phake sounding irish accent btw
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link
spelling is more trying to convey that simpering heartfelt whisper putting jam on the accent that is horribly fake. & anyone who would do something like this and tell people abt it is the worst kind of disgusting savage imo or certifiable.

Richmond Sausages: we have a packet of these in the freezer. Some people may think that is because I am gullible English person, but no! In town there is a butcher who makes sausages on the premises and they are a thousand times better. Richmond sausages are our cheap go-to sausage when we want to knock together a toad-in-the-hole.

kinda feel liek they hint at this whole human drama surrounding his family's closeness, the suspicion that he's been taken by this german woman away from home, the land that was supposed to be his, that he still misses, and that this is just a way of making some sort of symbolic compromise

eh its like an actual thing that when you are visiting ppl in other countries you are required to bring taytos, and i know from all the polish supermarkets in ireland now that ppl really do miss stuff from home, ireland has a weird relat. w/ diaspora etc.

i am nostalgic for all these nostalgic adverts

do irishmen living in england get nostalgic for taytos or is it just crisps in general longing for the further afield
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link
they get nostalgic for it, sure and why wouldn't they?
― May be half naked, but knows a good headline when he sees it (darraghmac), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link
well as far as i have discerned tayto quality isnt that vast compared to yr average walkers and whatnot - certainly not a void on the level of a pole pining for his packet of cup-a-borscht or whatever
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
the taytos u get abroad are a pile of shit
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link
they're not the same, yr import tayto are made in NI to a different recipe i think.
but in either case r|t|c god made taytos on day 7 iirc
― May be half naked, but knows a good headline when he sees it (darraghmac), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:04 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i mean if you buy taytos outside of ireland they taste like cardboard, but here they really do render all other types of crisps irrelevant
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link
cant imagine lyfe without taytos.
i mean barrys tea i can take or leave, tbh, that diaspora thing is just marketing bullshit. but taytos i dunno.
― May be half naked, but knows a good headline when he sees it (darraghmac), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link
nah that NI thing is mostly bullshit, they are pretty much the same ime. however walkers cheese and onion are fucking appalling compared to any tayto or king crisps....so shit, can't believe rtc can't taste the diff!
(that esb as above is beautiful)
x-post just also to say, don't think i miss anything from ireland apart from decent sausages and i am slowly being weaned onto the british variety.

how did you enjoy "the trip to ireland" max?
michael do you mean the denny ad where "it's breakfast time back home"?
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Sunday, 13 June 2010 09:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I deeply enjoyed myself "local policeman" (via Gaelic). I went, with my grandmother, to the town from where my great great great grandfather emigrated. I also read the first hundred or so pages of Murphy. All in all, I would describe it as a "crack."
― max, Sunday, 13 June 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
i have never read any joyce

Really though, I had a great time--everyone I met was friendly and helpful and the food, despite what I expected, was great. Good job on your country.
― max, Sunday, 13 June 2010 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link
bought ulysses a few months back but can't get into it, despite liking musil/broch and stuff that gets compared to him a lot. max it's "craic" tho you probably knew that. "crack" is a drug which is frowned upon in Irish culture.
where in Roscommon was it? my friend's parents have a house in Boyle that I've been to a lot.

I was near Boyle in a tiny town called Castlecoote. Very pretty but probably insanely boring to live in.
Joyce is great. But I read Ulysses in college with one of "those" professors and feel like I totally "got" it & by extension "the soul of all Ireland."
― max, Sunday, 13 June 2010 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Really though the reason I "get" Ireland is cause I've seen that Harp ad.

you are more irish than the irish themselves
x-post otm, did you see sally o'brien at all while "home"
