Toby

Toby was the dog in the Punch and Judy
shows, popular in England in the 19th century. Some members of the British public thought such shows were immoral but they were strongly defended by Charles Dickens

What a load of codswallop, imagine audiences paying the sort of money they are charged for entertainment today going to a Punch and Judy show to hear such lines, written for Toby, as " (snarl) arr, arr " or " Bow, wow, wow "

Down South

Many people living in Northern Ireland refer to places across the Irish border as " down South." Ireland consists of thirty two counties. Northern Ireland is known as The Six Counties and the remaining twenty six counties are now known as Ireland. People who do not live in one of the thirty two counties of Ireland have difficulty understanding the Irish situation.

When the new International Rugby season commences many people from Northern Ireland head Down South to Dublin to watch the matches at Lansdowne Road.

girl friend

A person every straight man should have in his life. They come in several varieties including casual, regular and serious. The casual girl friend is usually very unreliable and may be having casual relationships elsewhere.

A girl friend adds balance to the life of a single man. Get a girl friend should be a slogan used by doctors. A man with a good honest girl friend is much healthier than a man on his own as he takes more pride in his appearance and physical fitness.

IF

IF is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1836)

IF by Rudyard Kipling starts -
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowances for their doubting too;
......and ends ...
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son.
