That's not real slang, and you know it.

[The Hog]

"Hog" is slang in this area, its also known to "Tex's Rider's" in Nenagh, created this slang myself

[IrishRover]

Thanks Michael Well oim ok as one can be without performoing(being off stage is the worst feeling). Oi haven't actually put much efforts in seekin' new Crew in Belgrade recently, but theres very very small chance to foind even 1 Oirish or Oirish spoirited musician(in true sense of the word) in Belgrade.. oi'll goive it a try again but what oi hope is to actually manage to play guitar(oi should be ordering Epiphone from USA).. don't know how much woill take me to become good enough to perform by meself, but whatever it takes, oid be happy to perform voice+guitar than expectoing to gather 10 people who don't exoist in Serbia. Oif smn comes in the meantoime, even better! Now oi already have lyrics material for 1 or even 2 albums.. but no music backup to create it all. Oi hope to move from Serbia in the future, but twoill' take toime surely. What ya thoink of it all? Oi guess oim doin' me best, but tis' soimple bad fortune to be at the place whoich is not roots ground for Oirish music and Oirish musicians..

Oim sure tis' gonna be oustandoing noight there in Prague, and it would be amazing event and honour for me to be at the spot, meet ya & other Hogs, but from current position, its not very likely oi could be there at the toime, oi hope maybe some other toime.. oi stoill hope our paths woill cross somewhere and sometoime in the future, hopefuly as soon as possible.. and me oinvitation for Belgrade stoill stands, but oid loike to be sure yar not dissapointed and all due to situation here.

Keep up the good work, Oirish rockin' boppin' stuff.. oi hope we'll be in touch more often in the toime to follow. Best greetings & woishes!

[The Hog]

Howya Irish Rover,
I was doin a gig last night, loads of pints, shots of rum. Anyway, plac e was mobbed, doin another gig tonight out in the town.
Things not so ggod in Belgrade from what you tell me but keep up the spirit, dont give up! Anyway, sorry you cant make it to Prague for the album release, I'll have a pint for you!!!!
At some stage I'll probabaly get to Belgrade for a weekend of hogging! dose'nt have to be for gigs or business, so we can meet up and talk music & drink! Yea, dont worry , I can see it happen!!!!

Work is the curse of the drinking classes

Glad to hear twas' great gig, agh thats what oi call real loife, rockin' & boppin' Oirish music, the ultimate feeling in the world! Enjoy & keep' it going Michael

Many many thanks for the words of support, it really means a lot to me! Oim not goiving it up, no way, oi plan to put efforts in guitar & solo performance & oif manage to gather at least some crew, then even better!

It would be outstanding to see ya in Belgrade in any case!!! Ya'd be very welcome and dear guest here, no matter what koind of voisit it is! Dronkin' and music talk sounds outstanding, and oif maybe thoings change in the meantoime, we can do both that and gig. Slainte!!!
