Death Notices

[stew]

Dunno which is worse. Telling us the man is dead when he isn't  or calling him Sir.

f**kers.

as for calling him Sir, he was knighted by his queen, I used sir as a sign of respect for the man.

I don't do fake news, I thought it genuine and I am delighted I was wrong.

There were scores of TDs at Charlie Haughey's funeral,that did not make him a Saint.

You did say the cardinal would have a big funeral.

Haller theatrically  hits the deck  holding his head 
He was the German player who lifted the wc 1966 match ball and took it home with him, and later had to endure the Daily Mirror's high profile campaign to get the ball back to (hatrick hero) Geoff.

BTW, that wasn't Tommy's first kick out at a player, he got away with this one in the Battle of Montivideo 1967

Tommy said
'It was Ayala who spat in one of our faces, now I don't mind somebody kicking me (except possibly Hallur) but for somebody to spit at you is just not on´

I loved that team and Tommy Gemmell was a particular favourite.
RIP Tommy.

Father Jack can release that video tape of the son building sandcastles with the hat.
When this happened back in our school days we were delighted, it gave a great reason to wind up the religion teachers and put them on the back foot.
They've been in retreat ever since when you think about it.

Mind you in the overall scheme of things, making sandcastles with your son wasn't what you should have been asking the religion teachers about.

Indeed. He should have been asking things like, "the 'Immaculate Conception', you know this - how?" or "tell me again how it was a good and holy action for Abraham to agree to murder his son because he was ordered to do so by a voice in the sky". That sort of stuff.
