Last night I finished up the very last story in the Penguin book of Irish short stories. A fairly good collection overall, if somewhat dated. (To give you some idea, the title of the story in question was "'Dear Parents, I'm Working for the EEC!'") Now I love Hiberno-English, I've been reading British and Irish authors for ages, but even so there were still terms which made me come up short. Sadly, I was near the end when I started keeping a list, but I still ended up with more than enough to make a dandy quiz. Have a go!
