It’s Rag Week in Galway. This much I know –
- Looking at at the age of the youngsters roaming the streets, I feel as old as Oisín just after falling off his horse
- Student drinking is pretty much the same as I remember it from my own days 20 years ago – cheap and nasty
- What’s the deal with the egg-throwing ? No, seriously. It’s what police brutality was designed for.
P.S. What’s a ginnit ? When I was growing up, it was sort of an affectionate term (as in, slightly more affectionate than gobshite). It’s actually spelled Jennet (as in horse).
