I would love to breathe new life into this little gem… but I NEED funding! I may well eventually turn to you good people, but if there’s an arts-loving benefactor out there who fancies putting their shirt on a passionate, highly-qualified player, then do give me a shout.🙏🏻 Please RT, folks! x

Watching the All-Ireland final. My first address was Croke Park House, Russell Street, Dublin. Sounds very grand, but it was a tenement building. The Behan's had lived on that same street, earlier. My mother said that the roars from the crowd were something she would always remember #allireland

He stood quite still and said nothing. She was gone to sea. All I could do was to be there for him until he was ready to talk. I came back the next day and he was still there. Petrified. And wet. #crosby #stunday

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

A poem for World Bee Day.

The Last Bee

After the last ee
had uzzed its last uzz,
the irds and the utterflies
did what they could.

ut soon the fields lay are,
few flowers were left,
nature was roken,
and the planet ereft.

I was in Japan last week at the Hiroshima Peace Gardens. The gardens close at 6.00pm. At one minute to six, the PA system started playing Auld Lang Syne, as people walked out. Now, I don't know whether they do it on purpose, but Rabbie Burns, who wrote Auld Lang Syne, was born in 1759. Genius.

I've had this guitar for fifty four years. The stamp inside it, indicates that it was finished and passed all quality checks on St. Patrick's Day - 17th March 1972. I purchased it in July 1972 from a music shop in Tipperary Town. It cost £13. I still play it every single day. Best purchase ever. ❤️

There is no "collateral damage." There are only deaths of babies, toddlers, children, teens, women, men, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, pets, farm animals, food supplies, homes, and utilities. Never again use the term "collateral damage."

Am actually quite moved to read the thoughts of the actors and director about Leonard and Hungry Paul. I honestly never expected any of this. I was just typing away for my own entertainment and a book popped out. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

So you’re Robert Shaw who in close up & on the word “action” has to forget the 11 humans surrounding him, convince us he's on a boat with just 2 other people, in the middle of the ocean, chasing a killer Shark. JAWS (1975) Disabuse yourself of any notion that acting is easy.
