Sarah Palinā¦
Sheās been Palin away into insignificance since 2008.
Ran for Congress last year. Lost twice.
She coarsened the political discourse in a fundamental way.
Iād say sheās still a wan for the auld birds thread. She was in some knick back when she was making a go of it.
Yet man who played Jimmy Rabbitte in The Commitments
Also, The Proclaimers?
Army surplus stores. I just saw a lad wearing one of those green german army parkasā¦brought me right back so it did, best coat i ever owned

Thereās still one in Limerick on Lower Cecil St.
The hiking and outdoor wear shops have kind of taken over I suppose.
He must be there 30/40 years at this stage.

Still going. Iām trying to think where but I think I know/ knew his daughter from somewhere but canāt for the life of me remember.
They say fashion repeats and is cyclical. He must have the patience of a saint waiting for the old parkas and combats to come.back around again
Think they do a lot of school bags and stuff like that now. And the auld reliable Swiss army knife.
Forgot about the schoolbags. Bought one or two in there myself back in the day. Heād them all hanging out if the ceiling and over the doorway.
Iām definitely going in for a look for nostalgiaās sake today

Turns out the father actually passed away 5/6 years ago. Must be some of his family that still have it?
I hope he went as he would have wanted, digging in deep in the battlefield trenches of Ukraine perhaps?
Yer man on Capel St is still there no?
