On this day

Nearly 100 years I’d guess

40 years ago today, 8 December 1980, John Lennon was shot dead outside the Dakota Building in New York City.

Lived for 40, now dead for 40. Time…

I’ll never forget it

:clap:

Surprising, but not surprised, that the Burning of Cork didn’t get a mention yday. A proper historical event. 100 years ago this weekend.

If it was the burning of Wyoming or Cleveland I’d imagine there would have been a scurry of clever clogs to post it…

And they wonder why we are clannish and parochial… They don’t give a fuck about us above in Dublin we are being ridden rock solid

How needy.

“Corkness” a call to arms, and they all in the scratcher. Go back to bed

Youre bang on the money there kid. Lads can’t put petty internetting aside to discuss a huge event in irish history.

Frank Sinatra was born on this day in 1915 in Hoboken New Jersey.

You’ve lads from Laois sneering away… Laois women were notorious for having relations with crown forces … That’s Laois’ legacy.

She was a genius. Although I loath “Fairytale of New York”.
