Good God! @pwbwriter1.bsky.social has mentioned me in the Acknowledgements; I am not worthy!

PW Bridgman’s new book has just dropped on the mat. I shall pose with it in cafés & engineer trips to the jacks, nonchalantly leaving it splayed open on the beautiful dedication page. I’m expecting an array of quirky characters, awkward situations & supreme wit with the genuine blas of the Gael.

Strule Shared Education Campus. The one stunning item of information today was not the boycott, nor the cost but the fact that each school will have separate canteen facilities! Universities can feed thousands at once. Is breaking bread together not at the heart of peace making?@BBCTalkback

OK, youse guys, make with the rosary beads!

Awaiting a pint of stout to settle in Babs’ Forkhill I tried to make chat with the punter at the end of the counter. Noting the low protrusions of the overhanging bar I said,” You could hit your head on that if you weren’t careful.” Without even lowering his paper he growled,”Why fuckin’ don’t ye!”

Dán le Paddy Bushe.

Tomorrow, Saturday night in Lislea Community Hall. A riveting drama.

Good God. Randy Newman’s satirical song, Political Science, like The Simpsons, predicts the absurd becoming reality. “We’ll build an all-American amusement park there, They got surfing too!” youtu.be/Kg_LDeUEiWY?...

Join the jury in judgement of the patriot John Mitchel in Armagh Market Pace on Friday. At stake, his reputation: is it still appropriate his statue stands in Newry given his support of slavery? Hear the evidence before voting in the secret ballot! marketplacearmagh.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...
