Theyâll be making sure you stay amused
Theyâll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe youâll make the evening news
And when youâre tripping over your dreams
Theyâll keep you down by any means
And by the end of the night youâll be stifling your screams
Since you became a VIPerson
Itâs like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions on the truths you know
And theyâll just put you in the spotlight
And hope that youâll do alright
Or maybe not
That was a great album. I loved Disco Friends
Just realised I had Lawson picked. Knew the insufferable wanker would be good for something eventually.
Craig Breen RIP
Mary Quant
I see heâs only 33.
Seems to have been around a long time.
We all owe her a great debt of gratitude for inventing the miniskirt.
Iâve a ferocious dislike of all forms of motor sports and every time I hear about a Joey Dunlop, an Ayrton Senna and now sadly this lad, I always wonder what the families left behind think.
We often hear âhe died doing what he lovedâ and associated sentiments but I wonder do grieving mothers, wives, siblings, children ever feel anger at the sport. I think I would.
It would surely have been invented anyway.
Never heard of him
Little to nothing I can do about that mick
Motorcycle road racingâs days seem to be numbered anyway.
I think in one way this is very sad as there is something about that tradition I greatly admire. It was one of the few genuine cross community activities in the North where nobody gave a fuck which religion you were. Yet itâs obviously complete lunacy.
His father was a rally driver as well, twas in the blood as they say.
Thatâs a fair point.
A lad from home was mad into bikes and decided to race another mad bike bastard on the roads between Mohill and Carrick-on-Shannon.
He collided with a jeep while overtaking on a bend and was killed instantly.
Left a wife and young kids behind.
Jeep driver had to get counselling and still suffers from the trauma.
Nice guy.
Manus Kelly had 3 sons and 2 daughters when he died at the age of 41 at the Donegal international rally in 2019. Thatâs as bad as it gets for me.
In the car with him at the time ???
The Isle of Man TT is lethal. Over 250 people have died over the years. Death toll may have reached double figures in one particular running. Shocking and totally pointless waste of life.
Yes, but she was the one who invented it.
Just heard on the radio some lad from The Script passed away after a short illness in hospital. Must have been young enough.
