The Irish

cos like

if pudding is afters, then what do you call befores

famine

why don't u take a plane to boston, drive up the coast to gloucester, find my father and say that to his face

my dad was actually born in england. he only revealed this a few years ago.

well far be it form the likes of you then to tell a true gael what to call his hard-earned afters imo

never heard anything other than dessert used.

I concur

i, conchur

I've never heard it called 'afters' either.

i'll have to check this deeply worrying and sudden crack in the aul fella's credibility

neither have i

tell him "stylings (Matt P)" hasn't heard it either ok

this is serious

Afters sounds very english. Like 'pop'. Lets have some pop with our afters. I cant imagine anyone else saying it.

Be a sport and get out the afters, what?

for my afters, i prefer now & laters

jaysus im shook

I hate to break it to you but tiffin is english too

I just hope you dont have a piece of chicken and beans or hash browns with a fryup

gasp

can i just btw

afters [ˈɑːftəz]
n (functioning as singular or plural) Brit
1. (Cookery) Informal dessert; sweet
2. (Team Sports / Soccer) Slang a confrontation or physical violence between football players immediately after they have been involved in a challenge for the ball

i have heard the former but chiefly it's the latter

i've never really thought about it before now but it's cute that fitba has its own subtle little coinage

even though Mint Crisps and Golden Crisps are clearly better.

sight of one of these in a nearby shop triggered off some ancient memories. i cant believe they still make these. unless theyve been there since the 80s.

there was a mint crisp thing that seemed of that big time era too. quite cheap chocolate but it was still nice. cool packaging on the big time bar.

macaroon, big time, mint crisp, frosties- the 10p snacktime classics

and he wonders why he's no fuckin teeth

Macaroons <3 I still buy them every time I see them, even at grossly inflated prices in Cybercandy.

What about those Cadbury Touchdown bars? They were 10p. My sisters and I maintained they tasted "different" depending on the packaging.

dont know them?

chomp and smileys, they were the other ones. but they went to 12p

12p!

outrageous price on two counts, first, 12p like, secondly wtf has 2p on them.

also, these dentists' favourites.

yeah like bigtime, tear the fillings off ya

god im hungry and also my teeth hurt

Touchdowns were small chocolate covered wafery things that had American footballers on them, they were in either a purple or red wrapper. We were of the opinion the purple ones tasted nicer.

the smartie phenomenomnomnom

then smarties added orange flavour to the orange ones and you couldnt cite them anymore

Hmmm.

I want to know, did any of ye call these frozen drinks?

mr freeze as per packet in my house

i also remember a sort of fake ice cream cup that had mallow and chocolate and wafer. was really good in a filthy kind of way.

touchdowns were really nice. smileys also.

ah no there was no bite in them mallow cups, and iirc they weren't even wrapped. gack.

Mr. Freeze called Mr. Freeze round our way.

Not even the internet can help me in my vain struggle to find a picture of a packet of Barry's Gloves - the Barry McGuigan themed crisps

the mallow cups were often stale but the sweetness made up for it, in the same way as stale chocolate cake is perfectly good.

Phoenix Park (Irish: Páirc an Fhionnuisce[1]) is an urban park in Dublin, Ireland, lying 2–4 km west of the city centre, north of the River Liffey. Its 11 km perimeter wall encloses 707 hectares (1,750 acres), one of the largest walled city parks in Europe

hmhm we were told it was the biggest in the world

but then we were told we had the highest sea cliffs in europe out the back of the achill head, really i ought to go back and re-examine where the education ended and the propaganda began eh

o'connell st the widest in europe, i remember that going around. shannon the longest river in the british isles. anglo.

they used to say the highest sea cliffs thing about Slieve League too

also when I was growing up they always used to tell us Letterkenny was the "fastest growing town in Europe"

lol it must've been 3 houses not so long back then
