Many years ago I got slightly lost one wind stormy black night winter whilst as I made my journey from the coast road towards Maam Cross. all ahead of me way a narrow bog road, no street or house lights, only some sheep who were minding their own business as they slept on the side of the road, No house or humans for miles, I pulled off the road a T junction and walked around to see if could find a road sign to give me some direction. from out of nowhere an old black VW came choogling along and stop at this T junction, an old man wearing a hat and smoking a pipe was driving, I knocked on the passenger side window but I did not get the attention of the driver, I could see the old man changing gear and about to take off so I opened the side door, popped my head into his car and as I very politely begin to ask for directions, This made Crazy x F1 driver put the boot down on the accelerator pedal and took off with a squeal from the smoking tyres, I got hit on the side of my head, I fell to the ground a bit hurt, shortly after I began to howl with laughter, I realised that I scared the bejeebers out of that old man, I know that no one would believe this man true story, that someone popped his head into his car and asked for directions, I would not belive it myself if I was not there
The Bishop used to retreat to his private quarters ever episode to polish up his Gaeilge with his trusted jumbo box of Kleenex by his side for his runny nose.
I remember Buntus Cainte very well. Someone had the daft idea, that they would use the new'ish medium of television to get everyone in the country learning Irish. They also published workbooks to accompany the series. One of the biggest problems was that Irish has three quite distinct dialects, which they fudged into a form of RTE Irish. It became a complete joke, before being pulled off the air after a few series. Today we would probably say "Tháinig siad ó Thuaidh, ó dheas, soir agus siar" with politically correct captions to suit. No self-respecting Munsterman would pronounce thuaidh (North) as "hooah"

What sketch should we use for "He went east?"
"Draw chinaman"
it was within context of the other sketches, Orient = East , oriental (outdated term)
