You’re really out of touch with recent Irish history since you took yourself off to the antipodean outpost of the Empire.

Good Friday 1998, the deletion of Article 2 and 3 and the territorial claim on the Northern Ireland part of the United Kingdom, the acceptance of a partitioned island of Ireland and surrender and decommissioning of weapons.

Jarry and Martin working for the Queen. You couldn’t make it up

Robert Smith, lead singer with The Cure was born on this day. He’s 57

Edit done for the pedantic chaps on TFK who have nothing better to be doing :unamused:

He was born today and he’s 57? Some going.

Some lads on here talk pure shite sure. Maths don’t add up

Tomorrow morning I will drive from Clare to the Liam Lynch memorial to fulfil a lifetimes ambition with my 71 year old father. Up Ireland. Any tips for a nice spot of Lunch around Clonmel lads?

Lovely stuff. I was up there in 1973 for an event to mark the 50th anniversary of his death. The whole of the RA was there that day.

my auld lad was in the ra, this will be a special occasion

But of a hike into the monument if the road is not open at the forest entrance pal, about 2 miles.

You could really surprise him by getting him a hooker on the way home. That would change his lifetimes ambition day in ways he never thought possible.
