  • ‘Elf went missing and Sorcha’s old man went loop-the-focking-loop. He actually rang the Gords’

    ‘Elf went missing and Sorcha’s old man went loop-the-focking-loop. He actually rang the Gords’
    Dec 19 2025
    Sorcha’s old dear has a scream on her like Wayne Bornes’s whistle. Sorcha’s old man is like, “What in the name of God?” and we all rush into the living room – we’re talking me, Sorcha and, like I said, her old man – to see her standing there with the famous Elf on the Shelf in her hand.

    “Mee, meh, mah, moh, moo,” Sorcha goes – and not for the first time since we left Dublin. “Mee, meh, mah, moh, moo.” And I’m there, “Don’t worry – I’ll, em, let you know when that gets annoying.” She goes, “I’m doing my vocal exercises, Ross. This is a huge night for us.”

    The old man goes, ‘I’m sorry. I just can’t muster any enthusiasm for Christmas this year’
    Dec 5 2025
    The old man says he doesn’t think he’ll bother with Christmas this year – “what with everything”. By which he means, what with it being the first one since the old dear – yeah, no – pegged it. Sorcha goes, “Oh my God, Chorles, Fionnuala was such a Christmas person. She’d want you to celebrate it.”
