Since when did the Irish Famine become something to laugh at?

I don’t know – maybe I’m far too serious for my own good – maybe the Great Famine is something to laugh about, given it’s so long ago. Maybe too this video is just a gentle satire of the current situation and maybe, if it was happening today, this sort of thing might actually happen.

I don’t think Granny O’ Grimm sings the right words here at all at all

I met Granny O’ Grimm recently – it was quite the encounter and I’m sure I’ll be recounting it to you shortly.

All together now… when the moon hits your eye…

When the moon hits your eye, Like a big pizza pie, that’s amoré.
One of my favourite lines from a song. You’ll normally sing along. But if you change just a bit, could it be as big a hit?
When an eel bites your hand, And that’s not what you planned, that’s a Moray.
When a Japanese knight [...]
