Changing Irish History

No, I would probably attribute that to it’s bohemian feel being an attraction to arty types as well as the liberal attitude to cannabis of many of the population.

Disgusting post.

That movie they were meant to be making about Brian Boru with Leo di Caprio seems to have died a death, haven’t heard a peep about it recently.

Was he not 70+ by 1014 when he was killed?

That’s a serious clamping for the doctor.
I’d imagine 70 was a serious age to live to back then as well.

He was certainly elderly yes, but I’m not saying he had to live 200 years, merely establish the high kingship…as is, his sons fell out as to who was to fill his position and the momentum lost.

St. Patrick lived to be 120.

Ya, and he also chased the snakes out of Ireland

Have you seen Patrick’s or Brian’s birth cert, pal?

The average life expectancy back then would have been around 30 or 40.

Brian Boru was hardly average, was he? Gimp.

For a peasant like you, maybe.

You’ve missed the hypothetical point anyway… Fucksake. Brian only had to live a couple of years, you gowl. If he was fit enough to march against the Vikings/Leinster men, he had at least 5 year in him.

What are you shiteing on about?

Don’t worry about it.

I will worry. You seem to be making an ape of yourself.

How so…

Huh?

Yeats and Gregory were writing about a time that far pre-dated Brian Boru. But, cracking all the same pal. Great thread. Bar that speed-bump about the North :wink:
