Pork Pie 53 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Only had a small portion due to being in the middle of a very busy day and just needing something to eat. While not the best chip shop ever, they've maintained better than average chip standard consistently since I was a kid. They do really nice battered beef burgers but I didn't have time to wait for one to be cooked. https://ibb.co/1XYCJPC Edited December 28, 2019 by Pork Pie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, no.  Not sure what it means myself. She’s Irish, and I think it means something over there.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Wretch 665 Posted January 24, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just down the road from me. When I was working nights, I'd pass by it on the way to work at about 9.30pm and it was constantly rammed, Mon to Fri. It's more of a restaurant though, I'm sure that disqualifies it from being a proper chipper. I'm down that way on Monday afternoon, I'll pop in to see what all the fuss is about if it's not too busy.

Paid Members Wretch 665 Posted January 26, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Moth is also slang in Ireland (well, in Dublin at least), used in place of girlfriend/bird/the missus etc. Always thought that had something to do with her name.

Paid Members BomberPat 7,800 Posted January 27, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yeah, I initially assumed the "moth to flame" metaphor, but every Irish wrestling fan I know has said it's the other meaning. She's billed as "from the inner city flats, Dublin", so if it's Dublin slang, that makes sense. She (and others) have said plenty of times that it was basically a local-centric comedy act that nobody ever expected to get over outside of Ireland, hence the name.
