I remember our parish priest preaching about the benefits of devotion to saint Christopher. The power of the sermon hung on an incident where the republican leaning padre went to visit his fellow county man in prison. During the visit our spiritual guide marvelled at the various scrapes, predicaments missions and firefights Dessie had negotiated unscathed. In response Dessie leaned forward, retrieved an item from his back pocket and slapped it down in front of his visitor: The prayer to St. Christopher.

Pursuant to post 90 or thereabouts I note with sadness that our Republican friend so opposed to the former MOJ has slipped away to join him. He was a character whoâs life âworkâ seemed to be gathering snippets of information and collating these in his head. Heâd nearly tell you what price you got for cattle 20 years ago. NĂ beidh a leithĂŠad an arĂs.

Just watching the Scannal episode on the John OâGrady kidnapping. One cock up after another it seemed by the Guardians of the Peace. E.g. One of the kidnappers was apprehended but not handcuffed and then fled when he got to the station in Tipp town. This seemed to be a recurring theme over the course of the investigation.
That was fucking hilarious.
About as serious of a crime as you get and âfeck it lads we wonât bother with the handcuffsâ.
Like Chief Wiggum in the Simpsons asking Snake to promise not to commit any more crimes.
Any suggestion they were left off accidentally on purpose?
No. Thatâs way beyond Scannalâs pay grade.
Itâd be a scannalous accusation
Why do some MPs stand up and then sit down after a speech in the House of Commons?
Cos an MP has just pinched their arse?

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?
