It’s some spot when we get the weather.

I happened, amongst others, to be in the company of the wonderful songstress Eleanor Shanley for a few pints in the afternoon. As the venue (Gerties/Foley’s- Keshcarrigan) leans towards conviviality there were no holds barred when it came to music.
As we had a sociable cúpla focail together she ruminated on possibly our 1st meeting - an occasion I was commissioned to transport her late father home, back now in the mists of time.
She opined (today) that I seemed to be a man of interminable patience as she mused that her late father was a man of trenchent views.
I jokingly commented that was how we rolled then, we were all neighbours really and he’d have done the same for me……
Thou’ll hoor would have left you high and dry and full well Eleanor knew it….

I’ve just received a video from a bar in Drumkeeran. Some serious questions need to be asked about the descent of Irish society back into the dark ages.
One for the portly Councillor to deal with.

An alert has gone out to publicans in the Ballinamore area to watch out for these notes being slipped across the counter tomorrow evening - particularly if Cavan take the points from Pairc Seán.

The old notes were far better
While he never distinguished himself on the GAA pitch the Willies have lost a legend with the passing of Seán Callaghan RIP. A stalwart of the drama group, mower and baler of thousands of acres his most notable contribution came as the Corraleehan/Aughawillan correspondent for the Observer.
He had a terrific way with words and sayings and while we often hoped the Lord would raze them to the ground, Sean’s weekly reports were solid gold. He created the rural entity the PUF (poor unfortunate farmer) among other nuggets, harassed local politicians and persecuted Council offices in pursuit of rural improvements.
It’s a testimony to him that there isn’t anyone who could, in their most malicious minds, have a cross word to say about him. Súaimhneas síorrí d’anam uasal

I don’t think there was a club in Killargue,Sean Mc Dermotts held tournaments there iirc alright.Cant says I know that young buck,I was shuttering concrete in London when that photo was taken.
Is Zak Moradi the most famous ever Leitrim person?
No. MacDíarmada, McGarty and McGirl would be the front runners.
There would of course be a second tier comprising Raymond Laird amongst others. I’m sure the usual correspondents will add to this august list until we reach the point of disagreement.
I might add that Tommy Moran has done more for the image of Ballinamore primarily, but the county in general than the entire staff attached to Leitrim Tourism (if such a body exists). An absolute gent.
Don’t forget Edwina

Lovely girl but a bit premature to be firing out such plaudits.
You’ll want Seamus O’Rourke on the podium if I don’t call order.
