It just gives them a kick up the jacksy to actually do it.:rofl::rofl:

You could get him to talk you through this stuff for one hour a night and then allow him to play with his friends.:rofl:

actually, thats a good idea! i might try that. when he gets in while he is stuffing his face with coddle

Quite honestly, I don't know how you haven't killed him yet except of course you need him alive to get the visa!:sneaky:;):D

Dublin Coddle.

basically, it's like a bubble and squeak (from the roast), add more meat, veg, spuds, gravy and heat it up like a stew.

bloody lovely, after being out in the cold all day.

OH took some to work with him a few years back, and they were all working on this empty house (he was self-employed at the time and with a load of builders who he had known for years)

it was cold and all the blokes were put on a diet by thier wives as they were either getting married or going on holiday.

so they are all sat there with their cereal for lunch and OH gets out this food flask!!

They all looked at him and called him various names, and the best bit was:

a) it smelt GOOOOOD

B) you could still smell it hours later.

they got a face on and threw the flask away in the skip just as it was loading onto the truck

:rofl::rofl:
