The savage loves his native shore.
He just cant ever go back there.
Carkies love nostalgia
Ah yeah, even if the concept of Cork turns your stomach a little bit you’d still have to admire it as a piece of writing.
I like to think that the article is set in Cork but its not really about Cork …

Hannigan is a great writer.He used to write for the Irish Voice or Irish post in the State’s.He wrote a savage article one time after Munster won the rubby cup pissing down on them and their narrative of having reached the “promised land” after trying for so long (about 10 years).That’s a great article above though even though it’s set in Cork it applies to all.

I meant the time, rather than the place. That place is gone forever. you can return, but it will have changed, you will have changed.
Like every day.
We grow around our circumstances, but when we are not around the circumstances grow also.
We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.

We were swimming this morning, and we had a few Christmas relays because the coach is off to aus for the Christmas. This is after being brutalized by her because for some reason, after watching Kin last night, she sent me this message
“I am watching 
Kin and it’s terrifying.
Cu 2 moz. X”
And then
“I need to find a rock hard session for tomorrow now”
So, if it isn’t absurd enough that we got absolutely hammered with a set which included 20x100 of medley, and then lengths without being allowed to breathe followed immediately by threshold blah blah blah, all because of Christy fuckin kinehan, she then decided at the end we’d do some relay races. She split the top two lanes into groups of four about evenly ability wise. Four races. Lost all four, so she swapped me into the winning team and another lad out for the last two. Lost both of them as well.
There’s a lass in the top lane swam in the Olympics, and I said to her laughing it was clear who the Jonah was. She then insisted that I swim a race against her over 50m, with everyone watching, in such a way that, well she just insisted, so I ended the morning swimming a sympathy race with a young Olympian, which she allowed me to win by swimming so slowly she nearly sank, because of the kinehan crime syndicate.
