There are preview versions doing the rounds at the minute but I'm told the final edit still hasn't been made.

For the threads sake I hope you are not a man of vision.

I see that the film was directed by Steve McQueen, sounds like a good omen.

Fcuk, I thought he was dead

Liam mcMahon is in this as well, he from Donaghmore, he da (Big A) taught in the Academy

[Doire abú]

Its a different Steve McQueen (if you weren't being sarcastic, when you said he was dead).

(Risking like sounding like a certain Mr. T. Fearon...but here goes)

Having been invited to attend this year's Cannes Festival, which I duely accepted, I'll give you a full report on my return.  Believe it or not, organisers of a private party for 1000 people, to be held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cannes, have chosen an Irish ballad group to provide the evening's entertainment.....the Hollywood socialites will never have seen the likes of it.
