FIGHT!
Via NUI Galway
Seventy-three years ago, today.
A telegram message (above) from Dublin to Berlin in relation to a Luftwaffe bombing in Campile, Co. Wexford (top) in which three girls women died.
They were sisters Mary Ellen, 30, and Kitty Kent, 26, and restaurant worker Kathleen Hurley, 27.
Some historians say it was a message from Hitler to warn then Taoiseach Eamon de Valera to keep his promise on Ireland’s neutrality, which he did to the end.

Energia has been unveiled as the sponsor of the new Pat Kenny Show on @Newstalkfm
He has to carry that button around from now on.
Shrewd observer or temperance zealot?
YOU decide.

A supercut of all the nomcats and their alarming vocalisations of pleasure.
(Hat tip: Tudor Borisev)
They fuck you up, those who seem great,
And do so while you’re on your knees,
They leave you nothing on your plate,
Their class is a social disease.
But they’re determined, in their way,
By forces beyond their control,
To grind you down each live-long day,
Then count the pennies that they stole.
Class hands on misery to class,
This our clear and certain fate,
You’re stuck there in your huddled mass,
Till one big union makes us great.
