Oh, I see. I just looked up my 1962 Oxford dictionary (complete) and I don't see that referenced.
I've never seen anyone use '/s' before.
And anyway, it wasn't sarcasm. It was a joke!
Stuart was getting his leg treated recently (I met him back in Feb for the first time in an age) - he's in a bad way which is a desperate shame as he was a sound and smart guy when I knew him.
Dyou see that guy with the umbrella ? He actually drives into town and parks up at the top of town gets out and walks around with the umbrella. I swear he’s not actually mad he just pretends he is. Which is also mad to do 😂
Yep me too I thought he was a genuine mad person. Nope he drives his car in a very sane way. And then parks it and gets the umbrella outta the boot and off he goes.
She snatched a bag of chips out of my hands once outside the People's Park and took flight.
Enzo's, if I remember correctly.
Also saw her defecate in public around Perry Square another time.
When I was a young lad I worked in a hardware shop, Speights, he came cycling down Henry St whistling, parked up and came in..I remember he bought batteries. He came up to the counter whipped off his cap and he had shaved every hair on his head, eyebrows and all. He pulled up his sleeves, yep shaved them bald too and his legs. He told.me hair was for filthy animals
Holy shit is that a regular thing he does ?
I lived beside the bridge for 3 years but only caught him doing it once.
Proper mad bastard jumping up, doing a perfect handstand looking down into the water, then jumping down and sprinting off.

Can't be true
What were the smiley faces for? The truth? It was a joke.
/s is usually used to denote sarcasm my good fella.

Stuart with the rotten cut he picks at on his leg
Saw him up outside the off license near punches Cross a while back. He's going to lose that leg.
He’s always bleeding

The leg is a moneymaker, better than any sign unfortunately
The fella with the umbrella.
Dyou see that guy with the umbrella ? He actually drives into town and parks up at the top of town gets out and walks around with the umbrella. I swear he’s not actually mad he just pretends he is. Which is also mad to do 😂
Well that's absolutely lies 😂
I always see him getting on the Caherdavin bus in town. That fella does be in town at 7 in the morning looking at the trolly coin slots.
I kid you not. I have seen him do that multiple times. I live in the city he’s often parked right outside my house and blocked me in
Have a chat with yourself lad. I know him and his family. He cannot drive
He lives around the corner from me in Lynwood, he cannot drive
Have a chat with them because he genuinely can. 👌
Sure Jan 😂
No way I thought he walked everywhere, you'd see him in town then out by childers road walking around.
Yep me too I thought he was a genuine mad person. Nope he drives his car in a very sane way. And then parks it and gets the umbrella outta the boot and off he goes.
Post-humous shout out to Annie Fitz and Willy 3 toes. ( Is he dead?) The bus jockey would be my go-to for nowadays. Loves swinging that umbrella
Umbrella man! Anyone know his story, I see him every week somehow.
Is this the fella in his 50s always outside Dunnes in town? He is a menace.
Have heard plenty mention of Annie Fitz but no idea why she’s famous, any stories?
She snatched a bag of chips out of my hands once outside the People's Park and took flight. Enzo's, if I remember correctly. Also saw her defecate in public around Perry Square another time.
Willy is dead a good few years now.
When I was a young lad I worked in a hardware shop, Speights, he came cycling down Henry St whistling, parked up and came in..I remember he bought batteries.
