@wwaycorrigan Picture the scene. You’re a checkout operator and you’ve just finished with one customer, a lady who left a small bag of vegetables at the cash register, something she decided she didn’t want. There’s only one other person to be served in a(...)

@wwaycorrigan Back in my early secondary school days, as a country lad heading off to mix it with the townies, it was common for the latter to mock us. We were farmer boys, or rednecks, as they say in some parts. It was generally a bit of innocent slagging but no doubt it had(...)

@wwaycorrigan Back in the heady days of the Republic of Ireland’s “glorious” run at Italia ’90 — fair enough, the team reached the last eight but did so without winning a single game in 90 minutes — it practically amounted to treason to question the(...)

@wwaycorrigan There is an expression we use in Ireland to describe those who put themselves before everybody else. We call them ‘mé féiners’, putting an English ending to two Irish-language words, ‘mé féin’, meaning ‘myself’. Basically, you(...)

@wwaycorrigan “You can take the man out of the barrio, but you can’t take the barrio out of the man.” OK, that old saying doesn’t really apply to me in its entirety. For Bogotá’s ‘barrios populares’, the working-class neighbourhoods, are(...)
