The cassette version had a picture of the kids from the Aughrim Street scouts.

Knew of the Artane boys band but not the scouts

I see @Bandage adorned the vinyl

Sandro Mazzola’s papa was part of the Grande Torino side and lost his life in the Superga plane crash.

[flattythehurdler]

I’ve never heard of anything in that statement.

[Fagan_ODowd]

Magpies are part of the crow family. Actually I learnt this yesterday. It was on a poster called garden birds of Ireland that was given away with the Sindo which I saw on an elderly couples coffee table.

I actually only learned the same a few weeks.

Appears is not just the crows with a murder in mind for the group…

Delighted you’ve found love again Fagan.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

In America they count crows not magpies, one for sorrow, two for joy etc hence the name of the band Counting Crows.

[habanerocat]

Edit - got the name wrong this morning.

Mildred Anne Butler. A murder of Crows.

Mildred Anne Butler. The Delegates

Mildred Anne Butler. War in Mid-Air.

Something else I learned today

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

We were out in Curraghchase for a walk one evening last week, parked round the back at the bend. There was a very large flock (?) of grey crows in field by the road a rising and settling again. Could do with a dozen shotguns to clear those cunts.
