Cmere, about to get emotional here ye horrible cynical cunts but need to get this one down. The Oldman is out in Oz,.kinda stuck with the covid, the fear and world of other things. One of which is advanced cancer. Anyway, background.
Many years ago when my Granda, my superhero, died I watched as my Da held it all together. 2nd youngest of 11 and named after one of his two o
brothers who died while my grandmother pregnant with my Da and a shared house in Careyās Rd, heād it tough.
But, though 2nd youngest, he was the one who had to take care.of matters at hand. So when his Da passed, heād seen enough hardship that it didnāt knock a beat out of him to what I could see. He walked an entirely straight line.unswayed by his emotion on one side and that of all of his immediate loved ones on the other.
Not knowing how to mark it, I (Torrented) put together a CD for him and Finbar Fureyās āMy Oldmanā was one of less than a half dozen songs i put on it.
My mother told me sheās never seen him cry but heard him once, when a week after his oldman was put to rest he listened to that CD and wept like āa little boy who missed his Dadā when he heard that song.
As I say, for numerous reasons many of which are rediculous, heās stuck out in Oz unwilling to get on the plane. Only today I argued with my sister whose out there about it.
Head fucked went to the pub for a pint. And there he is- the man who sang that very song supping pints. Small video put to record of Finbar and I singing the line āand I miss him, my oldmanā and sent to the badgerly auld bollix. Weāll see.
The world is a tough and strange old place but sometimes it gets pulled together in ways that you canāt explain. Unreal.

Who - Oirish footballer Kenny Cunnigham
Where My local.gym in Malahide
Attire - vagrantesque
On arriving to be signed in to the gym and get my temperature I was delayed as there was someone at the counter who it appears the gym had forgotten to book him in. While I wouldnāt say he was causing a scene his voice was louder than it should have been.
Comments such as where is the skinny lanky lad & I bet your ears were burning were said. When he turned around it was Kenny Cunningham.
Before I realised who it was I was thinking why is this oddball so loud and as the gym was empty why not just ask can he be booked in now instead of delaying everyone
