Father's Day is coming up this Sunday so now is the perfect time to reflect on how much our auld boys do for us.
It's also as good a time as any to laugh at the everyday, run of the mill situations which cause them to completely lose their chill.
How many is your Da guilty of?
"Slow down..."
"Speed up..."
Glasses/pen/garden shears. Always in the last place he looks.
"This shaggin' thing."
"Not now..."
"You should have asked..."
He's not made of money.
How very dare you.
What's the point in having one?
As he sits there pretending not to be annoyed.
"Tis due a cut an' all."
"Whisht..."
"Just news please. All day long."
"Sure they don't know what they're at, those yokes."
Want your dad to leave the room? Throw on Eastenders.
"Yer man's some gobshite..."
"What is that shite you're listening to?"
Only when his team loses.
That's his Saturday night cue to hit the pub.
"Stop that fuckin' swearing..."
We think we'll just walk.
