You can't handle the truth!

SEPT 23 1989 · 07-05-2013 02:36PM

Damo needs to compose himself after that

"He suffered with his leg"

What a pity Joe isn't on this week. What an opportunity to empathise.

goose2005 · 07-05-2013 02:41PM

How many were in the army at the time? 5,000 desertions would be a good slice of it, enough to cause mass panic you would think.

"the emergency"

Has this country always been stupid?

Yes

"defended the nation in 1916".

Presumably his version of history is different to the one I know.

Meathlass · 07-05-2013 02:47PM

And the economic downturn the "unpleasantness"

artful_codger · 07-05-2013 02:48PM

"would you have preferred more North Strands" - no thanks, one of those kips is enough.

You just beat me to it!

Technocentral · 07-05-2013 02:50PM

Not sure what your woman's agenda is, on one hand she says de Valera supported Brits with shipping etc then he also supported the Nazis? Churchill did say in the House of Commons in May or June 45 that the Irish were a disgrace for being neutral though, anyway your woman sounds as bitter about Dev as if it had all happened yesterday, fascinating discussion that Damien is handling well for once, but then again I'm a huge history buff.

sudzs · 07-05-2013 02:52PM

A bit shouty voice roars "JOE DUFFFFY!" and it's Damien who's on! :rolleyes:

Is he saying 'I blew off'??

constitutionus · 07-05-2013 02:56PM

And of course we were all very VERY drunk

europa11 · 07-05-2013 02:56PM

Damo's rushing this ould fella, one eye on the clock to get another break-een in for Joe.

JonathanAnon · 07-05-2013 02:57PM

I bet this story ends with him killing Hitler and planting the Irish flag on the roof of the Reichstag..

withless · 07-05-2013 02:57PM

Who would bother themselves to invade us?

Technocentral · 07-05-2013 02:58PM

Did he say he was 23 in 1943? Means he's 93, fairly lucid for that age, fair play to the oul Divil.
