Worth The Struggle

No, really.

This afternoon.

Marlay House, Marlay Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16

Minister for Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht Josepha Madigan (centre) flanked by Minister for Employment Affairs & Social Protection Regina Doherty (left) and Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation Heather Humphreys launch the 2018 Centenary Programme to Commemorate Voting Rights for Women.

Minister Madigan announced  the 2018 Centenary programme and launched a companion book to the Mná 1916/Women of 1916 exhibition at Dublin Castle.

The three then talked about boys and make-up for ages.

        I do beg your pardon, Yep – originally the “Killer last line” was referencing the Epsom Derby, I hadn’t noticed that it had been changed since. In fairness, any comment left by myself should be deleted, otherwise, it’s totally out of context.

      2. Shayna

        So, I’m confused – was the last line originally about The Epsom Derby, or, “A discussion of make-up and boys?” – I thought I was commenting on the former, rather than the latter. (The Suffragette was killed attempting to place a banner on The King’s horse, thus the, “literally” in my comment.).

      (Literally, referring to “Killer last line” ) I’m a tad tentative on it Bertie, I was going to mention my Granny being a Suffragist, then I thought you’re going to go ahead and mention my gaff on the Salthill/Tuam thing, also, so much for Fortress Healy Park etc. I’m glad you’ve got that out of your system. (Moy are All-Ireland IFC Champions, though, to be fair, there in Dublin at the week-end).
      I watched a BBC interview from the ’60s this evening with women who were members, one woman recalled how she heard a public announcement that declared, “No lunatics, paupers, nor women are permitted to vote!” She joined the Suffrages immediately.

          You really are on my case Frilly? Sorry, I bumped into Joe Brolly in my local M&S store this evening in South Belfast, I’d thought of lots of things that I could have said to him, but you know what, I left him alone in the “Meals For One” section.

          1. Frilly Keane

            Give over you
            You’re the biggest telltale here
            FFS
            What goes on in the pit stays in the pit Shayna
            Up around your way you might end up getting called a supergrass

            Btw. Did Brolly give any hint of being weewee-ed off about Joanne getting the Sunday Game gig

    2. some old queen

      Yes. A bit like when Iraq was ‘assisted’ and after ten minute glossy integration promo, especially coverage about English football training. the EuroNews quoted a local news source who said that clean drinking water would be nice?

    1. Shayna

      As far as I know Bananarama are together – I recall seeing bill-boards in Belfast promoting their appearance in The Odyssey last year, Siobhan was back, etc…

    They look like the sorts who would demand that competency based interview answers must be in STAR format, even if you are the only applicant, otherwise you don’t get the job.

    And people are worried about scientology?

    1. Shayna

      STAR? – Jesus, you may be as old as I may be? I still remember, autoexec.bat del *.* It was petrifrying in the 90s.

  2. Frilly Nation : The Rupture is real

    They look like contestants in the National Song Contest circa 1981
    Duskeys
    Fossetts
    Sum’ting like that

    Has broadsheet lost its best contributor(s) – content wise? Gets flatter and flatter, like weekly sermons of Fr Dan Boyle. Court transcripts are the only interesting bit left in here, praises are due for that, as long as it lasts.

    1. Joe Small

      I know what you mean. I used to laugh out loud at Broadsheet on a daily basis. Now its a titter once or twice a week.

        1. Frilly Keane

          well there was that Twitter Broadsheet Troll Dog Ambush Bert
          and I know you were familiar with it

          and there was definite herding going on here as well by the connected parties

          so
          there’s that
          also
          Sum’ting meatie for ye on Friday
          so hang tough there Nelly

          1. Woof Woof Frilly Keane

            well you remarked on the matter
            might even have provided a link

            anyway tis history

            woof woof

          2. Bertie Blenkinsop

            Ah, okay, I thought that you were implying that I was somehow involved in it.
            Carry on so….

      1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

        Don’t worry. People always wang on about how boards used to be brilliant back in the day.
        Bore off, sez I.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      Yeah. Unnecessary.
      I got so upset I did a little eye-wee, which ruined my Maybelline Big Eyes Volum’Express mascara.

  4. A suburban terror.

    t’s people like you….
    It doesn’t matter….

    Seriously, I love you.
    (I mean ‘you’ in the prural, not you, people ‘like’ you, not you.)
