Our favourite?

27 Jan. 1382

William [Bull], bp Kerry [Ardfert], has shown that on account of the poverty of his bishopric and the danger of the roads, he cannot come easily to the K.’s parliaments and councils. GRANT to him that he shall not be compelled to come in person to the said parliaments and councils.

 

Thanks Ender

Meanwhile: Diageo Issues Apology To Brewdog Following Bar Awards Debacle (Scotsman)

Laois County Council spent €4m on four parcels of land during the boom.

Where they planned to build public housing.

The money used to buy the land was borrowed from a state agency.

The debt has been written off and the council has now sold the land.

To another state agency.

For €4.

Somewhere in Laois a farmer is laughing his ass off.
