IMO Higgins letter would be ok if he left out the Poet bit anyway I’m sure there’s a proper definition of a poet , should earn a living from it or something?

The definition of a poet is very simple, a poet is someone who writes poetry.

Earning a living doesn't come into it though as a published poet MDH may have made a few bob from his efforts.

He's no fool MDH, he's invested wisely in other areas, he knows poetry won't pay the bills for his bit of social champagne.

Absolutely correct he is no fool and nobody's fool.

Wise investment is a foundation for a happy old age.

You could have left out the tired old champagne jibe.

They sell it in Lidl nowadays, even pimply youths drink it in the back of limos going to their debs.:)

I’m not sure that’s right , maybe swap “write” with “published” and that’s a poet

No, you just have to write a poem and you're in, a fully fledged poet.

Your definition is a bit prosaic.

Jesus, listening to these entitled assholes, the poor young people whinging about being locked up for the last 15 months, how they complied and now should be allowed gather and socialise. No one's stopping them from meeting up and socialising but getting together and acting like idiots is another matter entirely. Wish someone would come on and tell them this.

This sh1te about mixed messaging is either pure stupidity or just brazen excuses to justify acting like a twat. And then listening to the good old "self-reported data" that the ERSI rely on to keep us all updated on how good everyone is. I should have switched off, but I'm a glutton for (aural) punishment it seems.

This is embarrassing.
A few minor disturbances in a non-descript shíthole of a side street is the main story in a country of 5 million when the media chattering classes' non-stop yacking about *that* street (thanks, Stefanie bloody Preissner & Tony Holohan) has given the dickheads via social media a reason to target it for lolz & putting it up to the 'pigz'.

Drink fueled punters lay waste to our city, now a no go area.

Gardai need to take a strong hand and clean them out.

Seems to be an organised cohort of trouble makers involved, it’s reported.

This could get out of control.

Pat just wants to get the head stuck into the bucket of porther.

I’d never heard the term “bel canto” in my life until last weekend. I’ve now heard, at least, fifteen times more than I ever needed to.

Hardly that. It is very popular. The streets were busy until the Guards came along and shut the businesses down.

Yes, that was a bit over the top.

Soz, Tyrant.
