Good to see you back in harness Fruity.

That’s one very dejected looking Swagman Gummy, you’d think he'd just been told Australia had lost the Ashes.

Sweaty Swagman dives into the Billabong to cool off. Spying Matilda falls out of the Coolibah tree, breaks ankle and can’t waltz, the Swagman dries off in the hot Sun and he gets boils on his billy, feeling low and depressed he sits and waits for the number 10 bus home. That’s what that picture tells me, Matilda is behind the tree, that’s why you can’t see her.
For Gods sake mon could ye not find a happy Swagman, after all it says in the song that he sings while waiting for his billy to boil.

It’s a neat little folk tale that Waltzing Matilda, old Banjo Paterson wrote it I see, didn’t you mention him a few years back? the Pogues and Liam Clancy made recordings of it, it is one of my old mates party pieces whenever he’s asked to sing, he has no connections with Australia, actually he’s from the Aran Islands originally.

The worst crime for Devlin is to be boring. In his younger days Devlin would recharge his creative energies on regular trips to the West Indies island of Mustique where he and his North American wife Kim have a house. “When I run out of ideas, I simply go for a swim, let my mind go blank and it fills up again as I walk back up the beach.”
