Fur Her
Bigotry, by Kalvin Clein
Weemen like til smell nice, it wud saim, an’ nathin’ smells better than a hen after a march. This latest perfume frae Castlederg’s ain Kalvin Clein adds til his range o’ suspiciously misspelt underwear (available frae Nutt’s Corner an’ Bangor Market.) It blends the heady warmth o’ a fat lass wrapped in a Corbet Accordion Band uniform wi' the aroma o’ peas o’er boiled in a big pan after the Twelfth an' just a hint o’ Smirnoff Ice.
Fur the hole Family
Hivnae a Cleudo.
A braw new twist oan a family favourite. A murder mystery set in Stormount, ye must explore the Big Hoose fur til fine a murderer, a jab in itself ye wud think. Was it the Rev McCrea in the Kitchen wi’ the badly recorded CD? Colonel McGuinness in the never visited Library wi’ the hastily disposed o’ revolver? Or maybe it wus Professor Sammy in the Ballix Room wi’ the nat yet charged fur watter pipe.
Fur weemen, frae Lurgan

The beg contains a myriad o’ pockets til house aw the things a Mid Ulster lady naids oan a nicht oot. Slot fur a wee Quarter battle? Check. Hole fur a spare pair o’ keks? Check. Small megaphone sae everybudy in a bar can hear whit yer sayin’? Check. Benefits calculator? Check. Pocket fur condoms sae thit ye willnae hiv any more weans ye cannae afford? Na.
Although designed fur Lurgan wimmin, it may alsae be a handy gift fur wimmin frae Derry, Belfast , Strabane, Larne, Carrickfergus, Armagh , Newtownards an’ Caulraine. An’ Gilford. An’ Cookstown.

Good point, Anonymous, I will give it some thocht. Thon one last year cost me a wile lat. Ah'll see if there is a chape alternative.
Dear Seller,
I'm giving some consideration to the purchase of some of your products. I like the specifications of the Hoorbeg. However, is it possible to get any student discount on it? Students have been given a poor deal of late. An elderly relative would like to know, also, if there are special rates on the Hoorbeg? She lives more inland and might not be getting the cold weather payment
And we don't have a reply because.......................?
