APRIL 24th 1916

The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Casca) was an insurrection staged in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916. The Rising was mounted by Irish republicans with the aims of ending British rule in Ireland and establishing the Irish Republic. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1…[Read more]

Rock On..
Black People versus the .. erm.. N word 8-[

Yes, I think Nick Clegg “won” this debate by a country mile. He certainly came closest to striking political gold with regard to style and substance… In fairness Gordon Brown possessed a fair deal of the latter, alas David Cameron had neither.

Observing this from what I suppose would be a relatively objective point of view (as I obviously wont b…[Read more]

Well, Irish interest in the British election is as keen as ever, and THE IRISH INDEPENDENT ran with this editorial this morning..

AFTER just one day, the British election campaign is already looking lively, with economic issues taking centre stage. The opposition leader, David Cameron, was able to taunt Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the House of…[Read more]

You mean still in a state of transubstantiation :P

Jaysus.. is this thread STILL going? :shock:

THE finest hours for both director Joel Schumacher and star Michael Douglas.
A wonderful film filled with thought, tragedy and deliciously dark social humour.. as encapsulated in this supreme scene.

So, another Six Nations comes to a close.. and though certainly lacking the overall match quality and high drama of the final kicks last year, it was nonetheless a decent tournament.

France, as expected (and thanks be to God) triumphed as the table toppers, having initially swept defending champs Ireland aside, going on to play some awesome stuff…[Read more]

For my mother..

He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast
That burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him…[Read more]

A purposeful, confident Ireland totally back on track with a comfortable win over the Welsh (who in fairness play the game right, but just didn’t have enough today).

England.. Well, I think the time has come to stop giving them the benefit of the…[Read more]

MARATHON MAN

THE FROG PRINCE

An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres our heroes
Then you’ll shake
Your fist at the sky
“Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?”
All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I’d sooner lose it than still live in it…[Read more]
