The real thing is quite overwhelming. It's so fucking crazy. It and the caravaggio stand out like a lighthouse in a bog compared to most of the rest of the collection, which is mostly paintings of the Spinster Great Great great Great Great grand daughters of cromwellian planters, and their dogs, because those are the people who paid for the damn thing in the first place.

Gero- I'm told- including by an Irish journalist sometime of this parish- that it's a widely shared urban myth- Ursus may know?

It's a mix of pub quiz standards and gentle digs at You Boys in Green on Tour Somewhere. So El Guapo is clubhouse leader but I expect a strong show from E10 Rifle.

Heh, Donogh O'Malley is famous for two things. The first is that when he was minister for Education, he was giving a speech while slightly more shitfaced that usual, and decided to announce Free second level education for all, without discussing it with er, anyone else in the govt, or the Dept of finance.
(Btw, this broadly speaking is how we wound up declaring a republic. John A Costello was at a state banquet in ottawa, and the Canadian Govt General was such a barbarous fucking bigot, that the taoiseach just declared a republic.)
The other is that "Raglan Road" is written about his wife.
