fianna

On tonight’s Holding Out For a Hero.

Fionn MacCumhaill and his band of proto-Berties – the Fianna.

You”ll cry. He’ll hurl

Melanie O’Connor sez:

Tonight Neil [Delamere] is put through the gruelling warrior tests as described in the thousand year old stories about Fionn and the Fianna – he’ll have to jump over and under branches, be chased through the forest by some very hairy men before he’s buried in the ground with spears thrown at him – a prime example of some good old fashioned 3rd Century fun – as you do…

Tonight at  9pm on RTÉ2

From Lagan Grove, [Michelle O’Riordan] would have turned 28 on December 23. She is survived by her parents, three brothers, and two sisters. Ms O’Riordan was reported missing to Gardaí on Thursday after her family had been unable to contact her. She had been using the Cork Simon Community’s services at the time. [The body of a west Cork man in his 50s, whose name has yet been released, was also found].

A copy of D’You Remember Yer Man? (By Ruan Van Vilet and Bobby Ahearne) to the first reader who can NAME all the Dublin characters above.

Ruan’s drawings and Bobby’s text explore the city’s  “lovable oddballs, quirky miscreants, out-and-out chancers and the certifiably insane”.

In the case of Billy in the Bowl, all four.

A perfect Xmas stocking filler for the daycent skin close to you.

So.

Name those characters.

Fakir Fakecleric Man Haron Manis

Even his flag was false.

The man who is holding more than a dozen people hostage and placed Sydney’s CBD into lockdown is no stranger to the NSW police or the judiciary.
Self-described cleric,[Iranian refugee] Man Haron Monis, 50, first came to attention of police when he penned poisonous letters to the family of dead Australian soldiers.

Hmmm.
