Sir, – Here are four more types of rain to add to Frank McNally’s uneven list (An Irishman’s Diary, August 18th):
90. When the troika come to town: It’s raining men. 91. When the leave: Rainy days and “moan” days always get me down. 92. The rain in Artane stays mainly in the drain. 93. It never rains in Southern Tallaghtfornia – man it pours! – Yours, etc,
Sir, – 94. My Uncle Liam from Kingscourt was once heard saying “With the rain between the showers, we’ll have a whole wet day”. – Yours, etc,
