It's all about scoring someone now. None of that shifting/meeting/getting off with stuff most of us grew up with. God I feel old typing that

Aw buddies! Live to yer late 40s and ask a son or nephew 'd'ya shift last night? " . Preferably wait until a Sunday morning and suddenly discover religion so that you have to drag yer arse, and his, to mass. Even if ye never go. And if you get the opportunity to have your dad do that to you in connemara. Happy days lok!
