I’ve can often mentioned before that a trip to the ambush site is a must do if you’re anywhere at all in the vicinity of Macroom or Dunmanway with some time to spare.
They’ve done a great job, beautiful in a summers day, eerie at this time of year
My daughters birthday
She shares it with a legend…Sonia O’Sullivan… And @chocolatemice also.
And the Irish economic bailout
A timely return from intermittent poster @The_Runt .
It’s probably a indication that the festive time and the crafting of exotic stuffings are fast approaching. There’s even a possibility that even more infrequent poster but nonetheless legendary @Rintintin will make his annual appearance. The West Limerick lads are laws unto themselves….
Happy Christmas old stock…
28 November 1990, the Iron Lady bade a tearful last farewell to Downing Street.
Here we go again. A sure sign that the exotic whiskey and even more imaginative stuffing season is once more upon us……
On the 28th Day of November
The tans left the town of Macroom
They were seated in two crossley tenders
They were bringing them straight to their doom
How’re things auld stock? Keep the flag flying.
Bump
And over the hill went the echo
The peal of the rifle and gun
And the flames from the lorries gave tiding
That the boys of the column had won
Should be a national holiday
The anniversary of the bailout as well. And my daughter’s birthday. And Randy Newman’s.
The problem was ours before twilight
And all over fair Dublin town
The whispers were quickly spreading
That Anglo had brought it all down
The sun in the west it was sinking
Twas the eve of a cold winters day
When the Tans we’d been eagerly waitin
Sailed into the spot where we lay
And over the hill went the echoooo
The peel of the rifle and gun
And the smoke from lorries brought tidings
That the boys of Kilmichael had won
Today is a great day to have a birthday. Your daughter shares it with a few legends
Bump.
Thanks buddy.
@Fagan_ODowd sent up the verey light and rounded up the reinforcements.
The lorries were ours before twilight
And high over Dunmanway town
Our banners in triumph were waving
To show that the Tans had gone down
Hope auld @boxtyeater is keeping well
