A king who once sat on a throne
Said he could continue alone
Then a young Russian beauty
Turned his head from his duty
That’s a risk to which all men are prone

Ah.

Meanwhile…

Close to one thousand people marched through Drogheda [yesterday] to protest at proposals to change the name of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.

The hospital, which is one of the busiest acute hospitals in the country, was bought by the HSE from the Medical Missionaries of Mary in 1997.

It is understood that staff were asked which of three other names it should be called: Drogheda University Hospital, Drogheda Regional Hospital or Drogheda General Hospital.

Saturday.

Malahide, County Dublin

Members of the Fingal Dog Owners Group (Fingal D.O.G) held a protest march through Malahide village in opposition to the newly adopted dog ‘off-leash’ bye-law (4.7) by Fingal County Council (F.C.C) which restricts off-leash activity to designated fenced-in areas and specific times (in smaller parks).

FIGHT!
