It is if you're a TD from Tipperary and you have mileage expenses to submit.

Especially if you travel to Dublin via Dingle.:rolleyes:

I suppose in the interests of inclusivity that singer will be singing republican anti-recruitment songs at WW1 commemorations.

Seagull on line 2

SEPT 23 1989

the sound of a lone gull makes the show more exciting

ButtersSuki

Joe would ask "what colour is the seagull?" if he was in.

PBH doesn't seem to realise that people don't work 7 days a week.?

"YOU haven't invaded Ukraine, have you?"..........a Duffyism if ever I heard one?

In a dimly lit room by a smouldering fire

Sat an old man so lonely so sad & so tired

Once he struggled for freedom now he struggles to live

With his few small possessions & his past to relive

CHORUS

There's a faded old picture on the wall all alone

A dusty old picture the pride of his home

With a harp & a shamrock & these words underneath

Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

2

And it's to Easter week & his thoughts wander back

To those leaders of men sure no courage did lack

And now he's just left with his memories of old

For his name nor his stories shall ever be told

CHORUS

3

And his thoughts wander back to the days of his prime

For it seems now there's nothing goes faster than time

To his comrades of old & he remembers the day

When he marched behind Pearse & the bold I.R.A

CHORUS

4

Then he gazed at that picture & he gave a sad smile

For each wrinkle & line told the struggle of time

And he gazed once again & his eyes filled with tears

For the man in that picture was his friend Padraig Pearse

CHORUS

Dan Jaman

buk, mod- ren....this lad has a few joe-isms

Roger_007

Are we going to have to endure this stupid irrelevant 1916 trivia for the next year?
I'm half expecting to hear from the great great grandnephew-in-law of the toilet attendant in O'Connel, (sorry,Sackville), Street in 1916.:mad:

They were the good Germans, they liked us. These reformed changed Germans however are a different breed.

Del.Monte

I'm interested in 1916 but there's such a deluge of irrelevant drivel coming out that it just serves to muddy things.

Roger_007

This is beyond boring............I'm gone.

Dan Jaman

"They're still talking about 1916 stuff, let's start up and get out of here."

Del.Monte

Philip's now looking for the names of the guys this fellow shot. :rolleyes:
