Unimaginable tragedy for that family. Apparently his brother had just got married himself start of June a couple of weeks before Jota. So very sad.

They were though mostly interpreters of songs rather than songwriters, and for my money, every time Sinead O'Connor covered a Dubliners cover, she made it better. She was a better balladeer in my humble opinion.
So sticking to stuff that wouldn't have suited Sinead so much.
1. Rocky Road to Dublin.
2. Monto
3. Black Velvet Band

The right man will be ahead of most counties.Quote from: Wildweasel74 on June 28, 2025, 10:02:15 PMThey got the strongest club fball in the country.
With plenty of out of town lads in it who they can't pick.
Quote from: RedHand88 on June 06, 2025, 01:06:43 PMReuters saying now there is no planned call.Probably the sensible option for now.
Quote from: SaffronSports on June 06, 2025, 11:15:32 AMYes you would expect but even if there are sensible whispers, they still need to be decoded in the brain. So that's a dice roll on both sides. We've seen how very simple phots lately have been interpreted and once he goes with something, his handlers are clearly afraid to correct him no matter how absurd. Plus the propensity for both of them at crazy hours in the morning to take to social media like a sailor on leave. How do you control that?Quote from: Look-Up! on June 06, 2025, 11:13:14 AMSome mess. America is a joke shop. Bannon rowing in with his two cents worth too!!! Some craic if he got his way, had Musk declared illegal and deported. That would mean the president hired an illegal alien to gut the federal government. Oh the irony plus there's gotta be a few serious breaches of law there too. How would the MAGA brigade spin that one?
Phone call will be interesting. I don't know about the amicable solution bit. Two giant and extremely fragile egos collide. I'd imagine both beforehand would be expecting to control the narrative and a climb down of some sort from the other. Biting their tongue is something neither has ever had to do so first sign it's not going their way, they'll both be at it like travellers on youtube again. On top of that God can only imagine what's being whispered in their ears by their lackeys. Can't be anything sensible or stable.
You would expect there would be people in their ears saying this can't continue but then nothing has been normal over there for the last decade or so.
