The old Christmas cards certainly had a way of expressing sentiments ...nicely. These days the same sentiments would have to be accompanied with an F word.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I have many great memories of the Olympia Solo, and we didn’t always have to pay in, when my son worked at the printing his boss was on the board of directors and he got us free tickets for many plays and shows, good seats too. It’s a lovely cosy theatre, full of atmosphere of the past, you can feel it as soon as you enter the place. I still have the printed programs from all the plays, some of the names went on to greater things, Liam Neeson, Gabrial Byrne, Angelina Ball, to name a few.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
If you had a good Motor bike back in the day it was was the next best thing to an E type jag. Both were magnets in there different ways. Did some courting in and on both. Ditched the Jag owner and married the biker.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Yes indeed, Danny was a true professional and a real gentleman, and whenever he wasn’t a gentleman he was a real lady.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I personally don’t do politics at all, as far as I’m concerned they’re a bunch of self interested liars and i’ve long washed me hands of them all, different parties all with the same goal in mind, power and money. Whatever happened to “A government of the people for the people”? the crop of chancers we get are way out of touch with the people, they’re from a different planet altogether.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well said Jem. As my dear old Dad used to say "It doesn't do to air your views on Politics"..and it could not be more true today. Best to keep quiet rather rather than be insulted for daring to have a mind of your own.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
All the kids loved polling day, a day off school and a few bob and plenty of sweets off the canvassers to go around shouting “Vote No,1 Paddy Murphy!” or whoever, true as you say, all good open honest bribes right in front of your eyes, it was then only a matter of picking the least harmful devil from the bunch.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
So you won't be watching for the 3 wise men bearing gifts Jem
