    I should have passed on my condolences to all concerned in my previous post - family and friends (including boards). This puts into perspective what is important in life and how trivial our "first world" problems/gripes are, such as in relation to the recent changes to this site.

    I'm guilty of forgetting there are real people on the other side of these usernames, it's never a good day to hear someone has passed.

    I only know him as having a lot on his plate with the migration over the last while. Seemed like a very genuine guy.

    RIP Mark, condolences to all who knew him, sorry Niamh/boards HQ.

    By a lonely prison wall

    I heard a young girl calling

    "Michael, they have taken you away

    For you stole Trevelyan's corn

    So the young might see the morn

    Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"


    Low lie the fields of Athenry

    Where once we watched the small free birds fly

    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry


    By a lonely prison wall

    I heard a young man calling

    "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free

    Against the famine and the crown

    I rebelled, they cut me down

    Now you must raise our child with dignity"


    Low lie the fields of Athenry

    Where once we watched the small free birds fly

    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry


    By a lonely harbour wall

    She watched the last star falling

    As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

    For she lived in hope and pray

    For her love in Botany Bay

    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry


    Low lie the fields of Athenry

    Where once we watched the small free birds fly

    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

    It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

    Ah Christ he was no age. 😪 Deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
