Chap that wrote it is in his 60s and itâs the culmination of a life times work really - Thereâs a wealth of material in it that doesnât exist for many other Cities in Ireland at the time â youâll love the eviction of the poor from the older soldiers quarters in Garryowen ⌠evicted by the Bishop himself⌠when the soldiers left the city the poor - or not so poor in some cases, simply walked into the houses and took up residence⌠The Bishop couldnât have that tho - there wasnât a tip of the hat nor a kiss planted on his ring - I forget the finer details but I think local artisans and shop keepers ended up getting them.

Friends I hadnât seen in years popped in and I saw fuck all of the football. Things are looking iffy for Barca. Maybe theyâll hit form in March-April-May this year rather than peak in the first half of the season like last year.
How are they? Had they any news?
