Thanks for the good humoured welcome Spaw. Or should I call you "pussycat" or would that get me into more trouble? [Probably!]

Back to the slang. I'm fascinated with this as is probably obvious. This is living mutating language. Catch it if you can! As far as I know, and I'm sure someone can update me, "a bollix" is a person and it's an Irish semi-affectionate term. I went to a Finbar Furey show last week and I'm sure he mentioned it [and "feck"].

Perhaps we need a glossary.
