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.

This phrase means there was not enough communication when a couple had a row .
When he realised there were too many blank lines in a row
he had to work exceedingly hard to correct the problem and make up again.

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.

World Cup

World Cup .. what's that? I know it has something to do with football.
English people know all about the World Cup. Their press will tell you how well the English team will do, their fans .. every Englishman throughout the World cheer their team onward but to no avail. Only once, since the World Cup competition began, has it been won by England. In case you need to be reminded that was in 1966. This year they were beaten by Portugal. Prior to that defeat they were beaten 1 - 0 in Belfast by Northern Ireland.
