That one won’t get the likes it deserves either
It’s a school team, probably the most successful ever.

they are an awful ramshackle group of youngsters, half of them malnourished, the other half yet to see the insides of a barber shop. none of them happy.
for the lads with a misty eyed vision of the early 1980s gained through reeling in the years alone, this was the early 1980s.

Who’s Johnny pilkington?
the 1980’s was a horrendous time in Ireland
Not a helmet in sight.
Must be the early seventies.
I’m tempted to say Sexton St. CBS?
the snowflakes wouldnt have lasted 2 minutes
There’s 4 more all Ireland winners in that photo, 2 of whom were big names.
Horrendous. But at least we were all happy.

Happy til you were fucked onto the boat with all you owned in a bag.
Didn’t things turn out well for you all the same.
I had all I owned in the boot of a car.
Here’s a fact. Until I was 33, I could fit everything I owned into a normal sized car. If I’d binned the overlarge cathode ray tube, I’d have managed everything into a standard saloon boot.
The music was decent

You’re making up for it now anyway.
Nope. Defo not.
I briefly owned a house and sofa and bed aged 32 but I fucking hated the place, gave the furniture away, sold the house, and rented a room off a pal in Withington til I met my beloved.
I was informed at the time by said pal, that all I ever did was go to work, the pub, the gym and the bookies, all of which were on Oxford Road or thereabouts, as was his house, and I’d get a nosebleed if I ever wandered too far off it.
He’s a credit to the board
He is. Great to see one of us do well. The Parley was the icing on the cake.
