Jonny was a hot piece of ass all told

Dawson’s delayed pass out of the scrum was sublime mate.

The pre kick routine was him imagining a pool of water in his hands and waiting for it to settle.

@KinvarasPassion would do something similar most morinings while meditating

On this day 10 years ago, one of the greatest frontmen in all of Rock and Roll, Lux Interior of the Cramps, passed away.

1992 - An off-duty RUC officer in Belfast kills three people in a Sinn Féin office before commiting suicide

“All as a result of their own actions”, as I believe Regina Doherty once said.

This happened the same day.

“It brought the IRA to their senses”, though, or something, to paraphrase @anon7035031.

Not only did Doherty say that during the last general election campaign, she then played the “I’m being bullied and threatened by people online because I’m a woman” card when she was rightly called out in the aftermath. A despicable cunt.

:eek:

I never knew it happened the same day as Sean Graham’s bookies.

I didn’t know either - I did know the bookies massacre took place on February 5th, 1992, however, which was the same day as a much better type of shoot out - as Southampton beat Manchester United in a penalty competition in the FA Cup Fourth Round at Old Trafford.
