A quick Google of the word “gatchâ€? will return many different definitions ranging from “plaster as used in Persian architecture and decorative artâ€? to “women’s undergarments that need to be cleanedâ€?, not to mention “a laptop case with a built-in hoodâ€? or “someone who has a habit of bragging or showing offâ€? …but as far as we ever knew it, here in Cork, “gatchâ€? was used to described someone’s way of walking or moving. To illustrate this check out this old man and his extreme gatch!

Another “gatch” was Lee Gatch, a well known American artist best known for his nature-inspired abstract works and murals. Commenting on Gatch’s gatch would have been too much to resist had I been around in his time. E.g. What’s with the gatch on Gatch?

Kinda late with this weeks WWW…..but have a garry of it. Use the comment link below to add your guess to the hat. If no one comes close ill add more clues and pics.

Bit early in the year to be talking hurling maybe, but I couldn’t resist when I found this back in the AGH vaults. Add your caption to the scene above and if you don’t know who the main protagonist in the scene is, you can find more details on him here.

Saghas luath sa bhlian chun bheith ag caint ar iomanaiocht but hey…cuir ceannteideal leis an pictiúr thuas, usaid an nasc thios chun í a sheoldadh.

Have a garry off this weeks WWW. Submit your guesses using the comment function below. Might be easy for some.

Tá ráflaí ag dul timpeall nach bhfuil rudaí ar fad I gceart in An Post.
Tá sé tugadh faoi deara agam féin agus ag roinnt dom chomrádaí go bhfuil maoil neamhghnách tagadh ar post sa tir seo, go hairithe nuair a seoltar as gaeilge an litir. Chun í seo a tástáil taim chun sé litir a chur sa phost go trí seoladh éagsúil. Beidh dhá litir ag dul go gach seoladh. Tá an seoladh i mbearla ar litir amhain agus as Gaeilge ar an litir eile. Feicfimid a bheidh aon difríocht idir an fad a dtógann sé ortha a gceann scribe a bhaint amach!

Rumour has it that all is not well in An Post. I know I’m not alone in noticing a delay in how long it takes mail to be processed and delivered these days; especially if the address is written in Irish.

Some say it down to the sorting machines not being able to read Irish properly. Others think it’s down to the actual workers in the sorting office not having a great grasp of the Irish language and hence have to pass any Irish addresses letters to someone who does.

To test this rumour out I’m going to send six letters to three different addresses. Two letters will go to each address but one letter will be addressed in Irish and the other will be addressed in English. It should be interesting to see if there is any difference in how long it takes each letter to be processed.

In the interest of the experiment being an accurate reflection of the mail sorting system as a whole I’ve chosen an address in the Gaeltacht, an address outside the Gaeltacht but in the country and an address in a major city.

I’m posting them this afternoon so check back to see updates on how the story unfolds.

Fir phoist ag eirí gann.

Ní bheidh boscaí poist níos faide
Ar dhoirse ná ar chraobh
Beidh scáileán sa mhála scoile
‘S beidh deireadh leis an scríobh.

We have a new guest contributor to AGH who is rather angry and may offend the faint heart, so be warned. His name is Shitty Bill but what ever you do don’t call him Shitty Bill. He tried to fart but ended up shitting his pants when he was a kid, hence the reason for his nickname. He is the founding member of the Irish chapter of the ‘People who hate People Party’.

Over to you Shitty:

We here at the People who hate People Party or PPP for short, have long held our tongues on matters important to us, mostly because we fear our ‘out there’ ideas and ‘far out’ notions might offend the masses. But the time has come to throw off the PC shackles and speak freely and loudly!

What has caused us to break from policy? What has us so incensed? The answer is simple, taxi drivers, or Dublin taxi drivers to be more specific. Wir müssen die Taxisfahrer ausrotten!! They really do get on my tits. If it’s not some cranky monosyllabic Man United fan its some racist, over opinionated Man Untied fan with a bad case of verbal diarrhoea! Strikes, overcharging and bitching about the airport is all we get from these people. They really are the dregs of the service industry.

“How many bags did you say you had? Ya ill just add them on now for ya…”

But I have a solution, a final solution if you will. Es ist Zeit für Säuberung. They should all be lured onto trains with the promise of meeting Cantona or something. The trains should then carry them off to “re-education campsâ€? somewhere in the mid-lands. Now, it is not for me to say what would go on at these “re-education campsâ€? or how many taxi drivers would return. I can however say with some certainty that the streets of Dublin would be much quieter, safer and calmer. So come on people…Es ist Zeit für Rache! Recalim the streets, reclaim the city from these cockroaches of the night.

Depending on the success of the first phase of our final solution, we would propose extending the “re-educationâ€? scheme to include all motorcycle couriers in phase 2 and all Dublin Bus bus drivers in phase 3.

Thank You.
This has been a party political broadcast on behalf of the PPP (The People Who Hate People Party).
