What others were feeling like today #14

1869

Old Irish airs on violin. I love Ireland: were she only not Catholic! But would she be Ireland otherwise?

After yet another foul, fetid week in the history of this country a diary entry from exactly 140 years ago has summed things up better than I can. As have Radge and Gimme.

Thanks for the link, Andrew, but I'm not being falsely modest in saying my words couldn't hold a shitty stick to the other lad's.

Andrew said...

Gimme's is something else, alright. But comparisons are not really necessary, I just liked your honest thoughts.

Radge said...

More of it on Prime Time last night, church apologists and their equivocation angrying up the blood. Drive a man to scotch, it would.

Cycles Goff said...

Thanks for the link, Andrew, but really the best post on the matter was this one.

The genius of subtlety.

Radge said...

Speaking of driving a man to scotch...

I must be that 'only person' to whom Doyler is referring. And, given that the lady might be irate if I woke her up by watching that video in bed beside her, I shall remain that way for now.
In other news, how's the repetitve strain injury in Rick O'Shea's right index finger coming along?
