Hat tip to @Julio_Geordio for directing me to the BBC live lounge. Great listening in there.
Absolutely brilliant. As i have been saying for years, we need to stop listening to these fucking clowns on tv and in the papers. They are only there because of who they know, and clearly, not what they know.
From Harper’s Weekly Review:
French president François Hollande canceled lunch with Iran’s visiting president, Hassan Rouhani, after Rouhani requested that no wine be served during the meal.[19] Chinese state media warned that a shortage of donkey gelatin, a popular traditional medicine, has resulted in imitations made from horse and mule hides, pig skins, and old shoes.[20] PETA offered to convert the house where the Silence of the Lambs was filmed into an “empathy museum,” where visitors could reflect on wearing animal skins.[21] In China, six members of an online group called the Animal Lovers were sentenced to between four and six months in prison for luring two people to a remote forest, cutting their hair off, and forcing them to eat cat feces.[22] Paul Allen, a Microsoft cofounder and marine conservationist, destroyed 80 percent of a coral reef in the Cayman Islands with his 330-foot yacht.[23] A Minnesota man on vacation in Hawaii punched a 14-foot tiger shark when it started to gnaw on his paddleboard; and an eight-year-old female tiger shark in Seoul’s aquarium ate one of her male tank mates.[24][25] Scientists found that bedbugs in Michigan, New Jersey, and Ohio have developed an immunity to insecticides.[26] A Spanish bullfighter was investigated for child endangerment after he posted a photo of himself holding his five-month-old daughter while training in the ring; and in Turlock, California, nearly 3,500 samples of bull semen were stolen from the back of a truck. “The loss of all those units of semen,” said the truck’s owner, “is very frustrating.”[27][28]

Phillip is dead.
What was Philips surname. I can never remember that. I can even remember the townland outside Thurles. But not the surname.
The brain cells that held that info are long washed away Fagan. I remember being genuinely upset at the time though.
The townland was Ballinure.
