Life is grand

The Health Service Executive (HSE) has suspended a number of electricians without pay in the south of the country in a long-running dispute over who should be allowed to change light bulbs in hospitals.

This “news” story just made me laugh. Can you imagine being in on the negotiations for this?

Paddy: Ye canna just let anyone change the fekkin light bulbs!
Seamus: Why the fook nawt? Tis an effin and blindin light bulb, tis all.
Paddy: Ya would na let just any one pour ya pint na would ya?
Seamus: Aye! But this ain’t something serious like pulling pints, tis a fooking light bulb!
Paddy: Ah fek aff!
Seamus: Fek aff yerself!
Paddy: Ah grand, breakfast is here. Guinness?
Seamus: Murphys if ye have it.
Paddy: Grand grand.
Seamus: Grand.

(Ah, sorry to my Irish mates. I just thought the story was hilarious. This kind of thing happens back home in South Africa too so don’t go saying “Only in Ireland.”
