About an hour of Irish weather in 2 minutes. From snow to sun and back.
It is weird.
Thanks Mark
A supercut of 54 movies in which characters ‘break the fourth wall’ and acknowledge their fictionality, eitther obliquely or by addressing the audience directly.
Compiled by Leigh Singer, who apologises in advance for the omission of Sam Elliot’s ‘The Stranger’ in The Big Lebowski.
Wales Vs Ireland at the Racehorse Ground, Wrexham, 1906.
Nineteen – oh – six.
Parts of the match were filmed by the Blackburn company of Mitchell and Kenyon,and is now the oldest surviving footage of an international football match.
The final score was 4-4 helping to secure the wooden spoon for Ireland in the 1906 British ‘Home’ Championship.
We just couldn’t catch a break back then.

atMichael Lowry is on Tipp FM and has suggested that it may not be him on the tape!!!

Unfortunately, we only caught the last few seconds, in which Mr Lowry told Seamus Martin he’d like to get hold of the tape to check its veracity, before adding:
“As far as I’m concerned all the inquiries and the investigations have been conducted. The report on the Moriarty Tribunal is two years old. It was published, it was put before the Dáil, the Government of the day. And the members of the Oireachtas sent that report to the relevant authorities. So any questions that are being asked, to be asked, in that regard would be dealt with by me, through the appropriate channels.”
