Anyone who was unfortunate to siphon petrol back in the day
( cars constantly running out as most ppl used put in 5 pounds to get a few days worth but I remember siphoning a few times from the bloody lawnmower or a mates car)
You normally would get a mouthful of the stuff!
Imagine the jacks stuff blowing back into the gob🫣
Ethan Hawke met Lisa Loeb though a friend in his building and upon hearing her song, recommended that it be included in his film Reality Bites which was directed by Ben Stiller.
Hawke then directed a minimalist video for the song in their building, and this and the movie propelled the song to Number 1 in the Billboard charts. This made her the first unsigned artist to do so, as while the song was technically distributed through the major label RCA as part of the Reality Bites soundtrack, Loeb herself had no personal recording contract with them or any other label at the time.

If you go to the Dublinia exhibition beside Christchurch, this is discussed. I think it mentions a door in the Cathedral but I dont remember the Butlers and Fitzgeralds specifically.
Her album was a staple on my discman for a time. The primordial sort of good looking but very attractive singer songwriter

Shall we tell the world about Hook or by Crook?
Probably before your time…
In fact, TFK members may be unaware of the origins of the phrase “by hook or by crook”. Allow me to explain. The phrase comes from the names of the villages of Hook Head and the nearby Crooke, in Waterford. Hook Head and Crooke are on opposite sides of the Waterford Channel and Cromwell is reputed to have said that Waterford would fall “by Hook or by Crooke”; i.e. by a landing of his army at one of those places

Snooker player Kyren Wilson and dart player Rapid Ricky Evans are close friends, both hailing from Kettering.
The high note “Baby” part of Tracey Ulmans version of They don’t know about us is actually sung by Kirsty Mccoll as Ulman couldn’t reach it when recording it.

Jessie Buckley is the great grandaughter of Madge Clifford
Did Jessie play any bogball in her youth?
Jessie went to the Ursuline Secondary School in Thurles.
I never heard much great about that place and I see there now that it’s still boarding.
Tough enough daily routine there still.
