The phones were ringing off the hook in the radio stations with people giving out about the city being on lockdown, apparently. “For that fella no-one likes”.
He’s no Morten Harket.
I suppose that creepy Cork fishmonger will be abasing himself again in front of his betters.
He’s an embarrassment to county Cork and the nation in general.
you’re an embarrassment
My kid comes up with wittier and more intelligent material than that.
She’s 4.
My 3-year-old called me an eejit this weekend.
I had to take it on the chin. She’s not wrong.
My 23 year old does that occasionally…put her on the bold step.
+1.
akin to a blushirt meeting a vulture fund…
Look dav – it’s a lovely day outside; would you not give that oul internet humbug a rest for the day?
Fierce windy though.
you see, they’d neglect to tell you that, hoping for misfortune to occur. I think the tears of others gives them joy….
“I am Groot”
cork city hall is a nice building. i vaguely remember something about the british queen paying for it as an apology for burning down the original one. if i was there, i’d ask him about that
Maybe thank him for that..
i’m not actually there
I did exams in there so I have no goodwill towards that building. I think I saw some white South African anti-apartheid guy speaking there. Who could that have been? All I can think of is Donald Sutherland for some reason. Some guy like him but not him.
donald trump? big hair, small hands?
Maybe you’re right. All the pieces fit.
I saw Thin Lizzy there
And U2
Loads others
And played Bingo there
are you from cork, frillz?
In the City Hall? Really? I don’t remember it being a venue. Though we were dragged to loads of concerts there when in school. Now I think about it, maybe I saw that activist guy across the river in the thingy building. Ach, my brain is mush. I can’t remember anything. Was it called Connolly Hall?
(classical and choral concerts, I mean)
Yep
Connolly Hall was a well established venue one time too
The Belsonics homeground practically
Cork City then was filled with great venues
The Opera House in particular
The sound quality for soloists remains unmatched imo
Anyone remember KD Lang ?
Getting a standing ovation for Orbison’s “Crying”
The Hothouse Flowers couldn’t follow up and were in bits as the main event
Or Christy Dignam as a solo
And the Savoy
I saw Shakey Stevens there before Health and Safety carry-on shut it down
I remember someone telling me it was the largest fully seated theatre in Ireland & England one time
Or The Everyman up on MacCurtain St.
That was a picture house up til early 90s
The Palace
So no gigs there in my day
Ha! I went to see Mannequin there. I always had a bit of a thing for Andrew McCarthy.
Don’t mind them visiting
But flying that flag
And in the Cork City Hall no less
Is an insult
I actually don’t have the words now that won’t end up sprinkled with tinkley woos
But I will mention
The Black and Tans and the burning of Cork
And the previous City Hall
Now, where did I leave me Stars and Bars lads
But is it really an insult? I mean really. Who actually gives a toss really? You do obviously, but I mean besides you. The flag will be down tomorrow and no one will be sad. You might be actually but no one else will. They’ll be busy getting to work at 12.45pm tomorrow and certainly far too busy to be upset about the insulting flag flying over the hall in Cork. And definitely too busy at 12.45pm to be commenting on Broadsheet about the insult they had to endure yesterday when the union jack flew above the hall in Cork and insulted everyone with the nasty memories from a century ago.
Gimme me a full colonic while yer there,why don’t ya
You’ve climbed that far up my arse like
An’ c’mere
Wha’ I do at 12.45
Or at anytime ah’ the day n’night shouldn’t be of any worry t’you
So make yerself useful
Visitors welcome. Butcher’s Apron flying – not. Pointing at fish – yeah whatever. Wielding a hurl – ah go on shure.
Brought the two kids down to fota island there last week, all the cork senior hurling squad were training down at the pitch at the back of the lodges. Those lads have very impressive legs, in fairness. I had to tell herself to roll the tongue back in a few times.
is it worth it, scottser?
Kids loved it bother, sure that made it. Spike island we’ll worth a visit too.
