Jaysus thats the job.
Ok itâs nice but Iâm calling fake on this one. The video was obviously shot earlier in the year. Fog on the water and no leaves in the trees. Then dubbed with a dawn chorus previously recorded.
Spring very late this year in chilly north Leitrim.
Dawn chorus doesnât peak until mid May.
You pick the strangest battles 
âŚand that wasnât a peak chorus
I suppose I just donât like fake news or people trying to cod me.
They probably got the video and said âisnât that a lovely video, but what will we do with it?â
Then some bright spark producer says "sure canât we use it for the dawn chorus? Peole are sick of looking at that same robin above in the Ăras. âNot a bad ideaâ says Mooney.
âŚand so it continues.
Looks like a few lads going down the Amazon
Retract that or some lad will be telling you the clouds are the wrong shape for the Amazon
Itâs more like Deliverance actually. Plenty quare-hawks lurking in the shadows there as well.
@Massey on the banjo to lend authenticity.
The boats are the wrong shape anywayâŚ
Ye could have stuck an ould fake robin in a tree. Maybe a cuckoo or something.
Youâre asking Leitrim folk to engage in nefarious activities for some form of personal gain or aggrandisementâŚwhat next?
Why itâs akin to falsifying application forms for the SFP or withholding information relative to motoring offences or breaching the licensing laws by staying in public houses until 3 in the morning.
You seem to think weâre a lawless bunch of rustics altogether.
Heâs thinking of Cavan folk Iâd say
I donât even know what the SFP is.
Is it something border inhabitants can claim from the north?
Single Farm Payment. Supplementary cash aid for economically distressed rustics provided by Brussels
Endless rafts of forms and data required to board and remain on the Gravy Express but the trip, once you board is comfortable enough.
Manor in the rain - whatâs newâŚPoet in residence @Massey will be along to extol the virtues of OâMahoneyâs licensed premises but I wouldnât be awaiting 5 *****.
A lad composing verse about Manor- whatever next??
Whereâs that from @TreatyStones ?
