No I didn’t.

I think I was in school with her (Ms Gallagher, not the Countess). Then again it mightn’t be her at all as I haven’t seen her in almost 30 years I’d say.

Certainly looks like her.

[Rocko]

It is she. She’s quite a famous lawyer now in London.

I was in a bar in Ballyragget. There was only about five of us in it. At half time the owner ( who was a mad Liverpool fan) said if Liverpool won the game he’d give us free beer for the rest of the evening. Signed into the hangover thread the following day.

What a find.

Tell us what really happened.

Munich Air Crash.

I’m no fan of Man Utd but to hear Harry Gregg on the radio Sunday was heartbreaking.

Would have been some craic that day if TFK was on the go.

Odd statement.

[Kid_Curry]

Eh? It was a very emotional interview.

The UK of GB&I was a different place back then.

The vote was given to some women, aged 30+ and holding a university degree or property

They only let women 30+ have the vote because, if it was the same age as men, women would have held a sizeable majority due to the fact that they’d sent their young men to slaughter in WWI, men who of course died “to save democracy”.
