I see, my mrs. was accosted around that time, St. Patrick's Day. On the way to work, early. Near a Luas station. She didn't get on the LLS. Gardai were slow/reluctant to take a statement. Until she revealed she'd been threatened with violence. Still, investigation has ground to a halt. Due to apathy, imo

Evening all, last Late Late of the season, Im happy it is up but sad for the thread, yall been great fun throughout, if not for the thread I wouldnt even be watching it.

Anyway Ive an anecdote about that wan Lorna and the angels. Back around 2010 I used to be an Airbnb host, it had only just launched and I dived right into it as Id a spare bedroom close to town. Anyways this wan from LA who was a filmaker came to stay with me a few nights in Dublin before heading down to Kilkenny to meet Lorna and then back to my place to stay one further night before flying back to LA. She wanted to pitch her idea for a film to Lorna.

In anyways she wasnt even in my gaff less than an hour and there she was telling me all about angels and how she regularly communcates with them. I was sitting there on the sofa dumbfounded about all this. On the second day she told me she had been talking to the angel of Jim Morrison in my bedroom, she had asked Jim was he still writing poetry and the update from beyond the grave is that he writes it everyday. We had many conversations about her and these angles, she also spoke to JFKs angel who asked her to "try to bring an end to war in the Iraq". I kid you not.

So on the third day she leaves and heads to Kilkenny. 48 hours later I get a phonecall from a consultant psychiatrist in Kilkenny hospital asking did I know her. He told me that she had been committed to a mental institution by the Gardai and needed to find a next of kin. There was only one phone number in her phone- mine, because she had bought an Irish sim card for her stay here. I told him she had stayed with me a few nights and I told him that she had been chatting to angels and apparently Jim Morrison still writes poetry and JFK wants and end to war in "the Iraq" . He was not a single a bit surprised.

The phonecall from the psychiatrist ended with me saying she was due to fly to LA the following Monday. He said no-way would she be making that flight with all the medication they had her on, her discharge would not be for 2 or even three weeks. Whatever she did in Kilkenny must have been serious, the Gardai only commit people if there are a serious risk to themselves or others. Either way the psych wasnt telling me what exactly happened for her to be arrested and forced against her will into a mental institution.

I always did want to know if she got to meet Lorna Byrne. Having seen that interview with her just now got me thinking that the two of them would have got on like a house on fire.

tl,dr version-whackos attract whackos
