Sounds like Big Tom’s last gig in Birr.
I put a lot of thought into that, you bastard
For those of an older vintage the speedway legend Ivan Mauger died yesterday. He was a massive name when I was a kid.
A lovely death. kiwi wasn’t he?
Correct he was bigger name than their rugby players back in the day.
I recall a factfile and poster of him appearing in an annual, possibly Tiger or Hotspur back in the day, for some reason i can also recall the bowls player David Bryant (with a pipe) being in the same book
RIP obviously
A great story, true or not, the replies to the tweet are worth a read as well, not least for the supposed arrival of the RA at one point.
I’ve just heard the terrible news about Big Tom - his music will live on
RIP Giant’s Causeway.
Barbara Bush RIP
Arnold Schwarzenegger paid her a lovely tribute
I feared the worst at the weekend when it was announced that she had refused further treatment but I didn’t realise the end was so near. She came from good stock, like her husband and there was something reassuring having a solid blueblood couple in charge of the ranch. We don’t see that as much nowadays and while of course it’s nice to see the American dream where a humble millionaire can rise through the ranks to become a billionaire manifest itself from time to time, you’d pine for the old order at times when you see a couple such as the Pierce-Bushes.
Willow, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s last remaining corgi. RIP Willow.
Thats woof news.
Wouldn’t you think she’d go out and buy some when she was running low ?
Surely another one on the way for a corgination
Hardly surprising as a Tottenham fan that you enjoy being ruled by the elite
That’s fairly standard corgi weight. The father had a few of them over the years. Smashing dogs. Surprisingly good with cows as well (well the cross breed fella was anyway)
