Who the **** is Mary Dempsey?

[pete]

Well you started the thread...

[joema]

I dont have a clue what your talking about. Who is Mary Dempsey

[holteender]

Sorry, I'd had a few when I started the thread...

On the bus from Ayia Napa to the match a load of lads started singing songs and changing the words to fit in "Mary Dempsey"..

We all dream of a team of Mary Dempseys...
Are you Mary Dempsey in disguise?
Who the **** is Mary Dempsey?
You're not Mary Dempsey...

You get the point...


Was just wondering if she was a cult figure back home.. I've been exiled for a few years and thought she might be an EL legend or something.

[Troy.McClure]

Prob just one of thier friends Id say, just taking the pi$$ like.

[holteender]

Yeah I thought so too, just thought I'd check

[Drumcondra Red]

Maybe some wreck sitting down the back of the bus???

[holteender]

haha, nah, there were only 5 women on the bus, all of them lookers

[Drumcondra Red]

Well that depends on how much you drank, but then again, maybe you subscribe the the Cosmo school of thought on that particular topic!

I was on that bus too and I asked a couple of lads who the **** was Mary Dempsey. This was the response. There was a guy on the bus who Name was something Dempsey however his sister had told all the lads before they headed out that his second name was mary. So far a laugh they decided to rip the **** out of him on the whole trip. Hence the songs etc. Most people who were singing it were like me and did not even know who mary Dempsey was

[holteender]

Nice one.. thanks Neil. I can sleep easy now...

[Drumcondra Red]

I know a fella who's middle name was Mary!

[Dotsy]

I think blokes getting christened Mary as their middle name has alot to do with whether they were born in a Marian year (a year proclaimed by the pope to be devoted to the Virign Mary). The first was in the mid fifties and the last one was I think 1987.

[Saint Tom]

that got me thinking guys,

the bus from Ayia napa to nicosia was the funniest hour of the whole trip. A crowd of lads from Finglas, coupled with our crew singing back and forth at each other.

"Your Ma's making money down the back" type chants. Hilarious stuff, craic that can only be had when away. 2006 is gonna be a lean year

[eirebhoy]

craic that can only be had when away.

I wouldn't say that. We spent an hour singing about LiamO, LiamO, LiamO Brien in the pub a couple of weeks ago. Excellent night.
