Hate to say we told you so!
“We asked you not to hold onto the hand rail; We told you not to spit over the side”. Just then, the stairway to Heaven was retracted and Bart Simpson slips down the greasy pole to the warm place. Hardly surprising. Now read on… After the first day’s action at the most recent incarnation of…

Do Not Poke The Bear
There’s episode of what I think was the Tom & Jerry Kids spin off of the beloved cat and mouse cartoon in which the two feature characters were on an outing to the zoo. Wherein Tyke the lovable but disaster prone dog was on security duty. For which his simple mantra was DO NOT FEED…

Dour Donald gambles with Garcia gaffe
The Ryder Cup is a curious concept. Golf, the most individual of sports. Morphed into a team event. Most likely out of a sense of tribalism.

Plenty of positives to be gleaned from last minute defeat
MEATH…2-11 OFFALY…1-15 Before the availability of online betting and the onset of Covid-19, it was part of the daily routine for whatever wheels were transporting me at the time to roll up the town and I’d stick on my Lucky 15 or whatever other multiple took my fancy on a given day.

When Irish eyes are smiling everything else takes care of itself
When a loved one passes away, apart from the heartache and grief of losing them from your life, personally speaking, the most difficult bit is the clear out when the dust has settled.
