Irish pets etc... I don't know if this is any help but a squab is a 'sham' (cushion) and 'petra' is Greek for rock, which makes shamrock, which is Irish.....

irish pets: acushlas (alas = unfortunately), but not sure about `cush'
congress suggesting a recess = nooky (as in `sexual congress')
soldier... = religioso (gi = soldier, OS = very large, oiler = tanker (looking up))
cheers, woodstockbitten
