We were chatting in Ron’s last night about various things. You know, politics, the economy, how we’d like to super-glue Ryan Tubridy to the side of a van and drive him around and let people throw things at him, the usual.

Anyway, I made some comment to which Stinking Pete replied, “Nail-head interface right there, Twenty”.

“What?”, I said.

“Nail-head interface right there”, he repeated.

“I heard what you said but what on earth do you mean?”

“I mean that in term of the interface between nail and head it’s, you know, right there”.

“Like, I’ve hit the nail on the head, is that it?”

“Yeah! That’s exactly it”.

“Well why didn’t you just say that?”

“I dunno. I heard someone else say it and it occured to me there was a disconnect between it and the old saying”.

“A disconnect?”

“Yeah. A disconnect”.

I took a drink of my drink.

And then there was a rather swift fist-face interface right there.

  1. Head-nail interface, otherwise known as a Limerick lobotomy.

  2. Fatmammycat says:

    George Hook said ‘there is a disconnect’ on the radio the other day. I swear to Christ I wanted to go find him and beat him to death with a noun.

    Brave man dissing Limerick – those lads have loaded T shirts!

    And the ability to mong-rap over someone elses rap.

    And they’ve got a nissan micra. FOR FUCK SAKE! DON’T MESS WITH THEM LUNG!!!

  5. Twenty Major says:

    What kind of a noun, FMC?

    A hammer?

  6. Fatmammycat says:

    A ham.

  7. Twenty Major says:

    Serrano or Iberico?

  8. Jabugo – nothings to good for beating a Limerick man to death with.

  9. Conan Drumm says:

    You mean you employed your fist going forward?

  10. Fatmammycat says:

    Oh I don’t know, truthfully I’d probably just yell at him, ‘There is no disconnect it’s a fucking verb you bastard. You do it, it isn’t a thing, person or place.’
    I hate it, almost as much as I hate people who say ‘I could care less’ when they mean ‘I couldn’t care less’. Or hateful bastards who say ‘I’ll meet you at six, half six.’ Well which fucking is it? six or half six? six half six isn’t a time, it’s two times. Now I’m not going and I hate you.

    It’s mission critical that you touch base with their low-hanging fruit for a quick win.

  12. morgor says:

    ha, loads of people mix up fate and faith too.

    “i guess it was faith for it to happen”
    “you mean fate”
    “what?”
    “cunt”

    I think we need a bird’s eye view of the situation for a more customer focused alignment.

  14. Holemaster says:

    I’m with FMC on the bad English rant. I get emails everyday from clients who are supposed to be educated but I can’t understand them. Their use of English is atrocious.

    In all an’ anyways.

  15. Fatmammycat says:

    * weeps*

  16. Holemaster says:

    We need some blue sky thinking here in order to move from legacy practice to best practice going forward while maintaining maximum efficiency and cost benefit.

    Twenty, I hope HSBC paid you a fortune for this appearance.

    Would this be in or outside the box?

    how fucking dare you. Where do you think you are?

  21. Twenty Major says:

    Maggot?

    heh, Conan. It’s not me, we all just look alike.

  22. maggot says:

    In the loop – lots of civil service gibberish

  23. Holemaster says:

    How about people who instead of saying two thousand and eight for the year they say two oh eight.” Oh back here now in 204 we went on holidays to Mericaw. Twas brillint so twas. Cost us millins though”

  24. Twenty Major says:

    Millins and milluns, does my head in.

  25. Conan Drumm says:

    “It’s not me, we all just look alike.”

    I did wonder, but I was fairly sure bastardface wasn’t a cormorant.

  26. maggot says:

    cormorants and shags, so confusing

  27. Conan Drumm says:

    Indeed, Maggot. Was it Isherwood who began a pome, “The common cormorant or shag, lays its eggs in a paper bag”

  28. Holemaster says:

    I had a nightmare that Noel B.Ginnity, Sonny Knowles, Syl Fox, Paddy Cole and Margo were the new government cabinet.

    If Bunny Carr was minister for finance,i’d start worrying..

  30. Conan Drumm says:

    “If Bunny Carr was minister for finance,i’d start worrying..”

    Bunny Carr used to work as a cashier in the BofI in O’Connell St, Dublin. Fact, I remember him there.

    That would make him more qualified than the current incumbent.

  31. The majority of cryptic metaphors that people come up with were really just made up by them on the spot because they couldn’t remember the original. Challenge them and they’ll always defend it with “Sure, I heard it being used by somebody else.”

  32. gluaistean says:

    There should be a swift disconnection between the cervical vertabrae of those murderous bastards down in Wexford. It’s time to bring the Army out on the streets of Ireland and no mistake. It’s almost too late as it is to delay the inevitable – Ireland is fast becoming a land more akin to Nigeria than any decent Western civilisation-based nation. And before the ignorant ‘Y’er a racist/eurocentric-judeo christian bigot’ pause from picking their noses and wondering if just maybe they should have stayed in school past age twelve start gibbering like the animals we allowed to flood our country and, allied with the monstorous jokes we allowed govern it, destroy what fragile comfort we provided for each other I will point out that if you look at the FACTS – we were indeed better off under the Brits prior to the 1916 fiasco.
    Say your prayers people – you have opened the gates of your own national hades.
    And watch your back Twenty – becasue the likes of you, outspoken independant and too fly for the manipulators will be marked down for harrasment and eventually charged with ‘hate crimes’
    Yeats was a miserable bastard but by god did he call it right!

  33. morgor says:

    Keyboard fixed?

  34. Holemaster says:

    What murderous bastards in Wexford? Don’t see anything on breaking news.

  35. peadar says:

    I presume he’s talking about the 4 foreign nationals that were charged with murder last weekend. Remember there was a female body found in a burnt out car? Allegedly they beat her to death with a golf clubs and then burnt the body to destroy evidence. Animals!

  36. DD says:

    Give the money back, Bunny.

  37. Holemaster says:

    Oh THOSE murderous bastards. Awful stuff. And the scumbags who attack the elderly. It’s not a immigrant problem. It’s an economic problem. Foreigners are no more likely to murder than Irish people.

  38. Sniffle says:

    Shoot the puppy or eat the frog 20, otherwise no paradigm shift for you kid .

  39. Fill3rup says:

    Conan:I believe that alot of the Gorta donations went “cough” missing when Bunny was looking after that side of things…
    So yes,he would probably fit right in alright

  40. Fill3rup says:

    I find myself agreeing with Gluaistean..Im sacred…

    ..hold me?

  41. Twenty Major says:

    It’ll be all right, Fill.

    Probably.

  42. Jo says:

    Heh, Fil, nice typo.

  43. Fill3rup says:

    yeah, a freudian slip perhaps..

  44. SAm crea says:

    Gluaisteain, you really need to shorten your sentences, I cant make out what the fuck you are trying to say. And I thought there was a ban in place: NO FUMBLING IN GREASY TILL REFERENCES

    FMC according to freedictionary online disconnect is a noun too.

  45. Loco Lobo says:

    I hope that you wiped his face before you punched him.

  46. Fill3rup says:

    Are all ye cunts gone to the pub?

    Im not jealous…

    ..Just askin..

    Stupid late shift…

  47. Twenty Major says:

    Not yet. I’m going to play football first.

  48. Fill3rup says:

    I cant really complain.ive only 10 mins left..
    Its not a Late shift ,its more just a pain in the arse..

    I definitely have the Goo for pints though..

  49. Fatmammycat says:

    Fill, I think that may predate the setting up of Gorta. Did you go for a Freudian pils?
