Itâs some theatre inside there. A load of people firing insults at each other and they all the best of friends
It indicates they want to ask a question. All part of the theatre really.

I have no idea what Bang is.
Itâs Cyril Farrellâs sports tv station. He started it after he got let go by rte. Kind of like when trump threatened to start his own tv station when he fell out with fox news.

Who can educate me on Brendan Behan - I am aware of his hard living ways but why was he put up on such a pedestal?
He was a big hit in America.
Played up to the drunken paddy literary genuis stereotype and he regularly featured on the big American talk shows.
Iâve read Borstal Boy and it was a very enjoyable.

I see there is a bit of a tradition of leaving a pint on his grave on his anniversary. Seems ridiculous these days to do that for an alcoholic, but presumably harks back to when being a hard drinking Paddy was almost a badge of honour.
Dying young is always a big help to the legacy too.
I always maintained the best thing you could do after a good year playing minor GAA is give it up. Youâll be forever regarded as a great.

He was a bestselling author. His family were republican royalty. His uncle wrote the national anthem. They were working class republicans not like the cunts that took over the State in the 20s and 30s and fawned over Archbishop McQuaids cassocks.
