Villagers boycott pub after Irish landlady refuses to sell poppies

[Bud Wiser]

I sent Mrs Walsh an email of support there last week and today I got a reply from the Mayo woman.  Green above the red indeed!   Here is an extract:

Hi Tom

That's just what I needed. Thanks for your support. The Gobshites indeed. I took the pub in June slogged my fingers to the bone and ripped it apart by myself and my 21 year old cousin Joanne. We had to do it at night cause the kids were under our feet during the day. I stayed awake 5 days and nights to paint the damn pub! Ah what a nightmare and now the ( xyz - describes)  are the ones causing the problems and the gossip here. I don't care if they come in or not. The pub was jammed and some people couldn't get in Saturday night. I had a band and kidnapped the singer after for a late night party. I come to life at 11pm so it's the best craic pub around. The smoking ban lifts at 11pm and whoever doesn't like it can bugger off home.
It's a real pub with a nutter of a landlady. No swearing though it makes me cringe and I don't drink but i have a fag or two.

Thanks for the nice email of support.

Good man Bud. Sounds like great place for a Rip.

She said there is a cricket ground next door on the common and it incorporates a bowls ground for the zimmerframe brigade and that if we wanted to play a challenge game of gaelic football between the Mexiicans and the Alaskans we should not do much harm to the pitch and as far as is known we don't have to ask permission.  There is a golf club up the road and 21 yr old Joane will assist Leenie and Tyrone giirl making the sambos while the gentlemen are out golfing. I'll throw the guitar in the back of the transit and I am sure there are a few more who have a few musical implements.

We are talking about a gadderin for years, this could be the best of all.

Ms Walsh, you can call her Bernice if you are on first name terms like me would be thankful for any green and red bunting and Mayo flags, large ones with long poles that can be hung out over the road on match days.  If anyone can come up with a sculptor who is a bit slack at the moment and reasonable she would like to replace the statue of the Yeoman on the corner of the village with one of Willie Joe Padden so all assistance appreciated.

Good research Bud, fair play.

[rossie mad]

Is Holly involved in this?

She would be from that neck of the woods?

[Bud Wiser]

As far as I can see the lady got the Steel House Lane treatment by the press in terms of being set up.  When the reporter called she was outside the pub and she put up her hands and said -  No Photos and No Stories - so they printed the story of her with her hands up saying No Poppies !

Not to be pedantic (well ok, it is) but was not aginst Tyrone in '89 that he has the tights?
