Could The Journal please stop showing that photo of the egg on top of the beans please? I find it very upsetting.
@Shelly Levine:
Imagine how Porky would feel after eating it….
@Shelly Levine:
I bet Porky Hogan would make short work of that fry-up!
“The condemned man ate a hearty breakfast before his execution”
@Joe Toner: Now Joe
That’s not a very nice thing to say about a very important man.
You should know your place, and don your cap to the likes of Mr Hogan.
Also remember to Thank Enda Kenny Leo & co for making Mr Hogan a very important man in the first place, Mr Hogan is a failed Auctioneer from Kilkenny well able to huff and bluff his way to the top of the Bisto Train.
@Roger Dawson:
Shouldn’t that be “Doff” my cap?
@Joe Toner: Whether it’s Doff or Don your good friend The Very Important
Man won’t mind.
@Roger Dawson:
LMAO!! You even gave Don a mention!!
Katie Taylor won a world championship fight last night.We seem to take it for granted.
@PR Probe:
I bet she doesn’t eat breakfasts like the one in the photo!
Anyway… Well done Katie.!!
Looks delicious.
have your say
