Manners maketh the man!

 What to say when insulted by a cornerboy such as Mickie Mc Goldrick or a 'big man' with ambitions to rise above his station in life such as Sean Lynch?

"The mouth speaks what the heart is full of. Pay me what you owe me because there is a method to the madness. Only a fool laughs at an educated man. We all have to pay our debts."

...and say so to so-called born-again Christians and sectarian shit-stirrers and Catholic clergymen who have to have their love of hard-cash curbed by invoking the assistance of a good lawyer who deals in facts and figures not a diseased imagination or foibles of the mind.

.....

Let's get the party started,

"Can you not see that it is Sean Lynch who is having you arrested,him and that woman Crudden who has slept with every man in the country. That's who Charlie Mc Clintock answers to,him and the police. Sean Lynch regards you as a madman who wants to start up the Troubles again. Surely to God,you wouldn't even your wit to someone with his I.Q.,you with all your brains and him with out an O Level to his name. He's only a cornerboy,him and people like him. He has been shoved in there by other people who don't want to answer for their actions or come forward and give evidence against the rest of the Provos. You'll rue the day you ever crossed the doorstep of a Sinn Fein office. A little Donagh tinker like him would get you into a knot that ten men couldn't untie.Sean Lynch will have to go back to prison for other crimes and will die in prison. The Provos will die with their tongue hanging out for want of someone to buy them a drink. Avoid them."

OR,per myself,

"I was trying to get through to my mother when I lifted the phone,not you. You're only spreading misinformation and gossip to anyone who talks to you in that put-on voice that sounds a bit like my mother's. Go away and clean out your scullery because I suspect it's filthy, Cathleen. Stop complaining about what the British Army did to your brother and Naan. We all have to pay for what we did years after the event because the police run the North of Ireland and see to it that we get no justice or never see the light of day again."
