Raymond Gillespie published the Proctor's Accounts of Peter Lewys, a priest who supervised the rebuilding of Christchurch, Dublin, in the 1560s. It includes payment of salaries. James Mills had an article about Lewis's workman in JRSAI 1901.

I'm also reminded of being in a chip shop queue in Cork & a couple having a raging fight behind us during which the exasperated guy burst out 'you're not being fair - sure don't I buy you chips and fleagh you?' This means fuck you btw. At the time I thought this was hilarious /7

Why have an Apple Watch when you can have smart rosary beads? Faith meets firmware.

This feels like something The Righteous Gemstones would have sold.

A+ nickname

Reminded of the time that a Polish guy racked up such a large number of traffic offences, that someone thought to enquire, and it turned out the dastardly culprit's name translated as 'driving licence'.

Foreign political organisation tried to interfere in Ireland Its board includes a corrupt ex-politician linked to an international money laundering scheme.

just before Christmas, I wrote about how CitizenGo – a far right group funded by international dark money – tried to interfere in the Irish presidential election

Congratulations to the Midleton concert band on their 75th anniversary!

Relished are thinner than chutneys, and more vinegary, the fame of this one explains the name

Chutney, but Irish.

Award winning, no less

omg, nailed

Middle English Text Series so woke

They were killed by religious extremism.

Fair play to the Quakers for being seen as a threat to the English state for a solid 375 years.

I'm just pointing out what is actually happening around me in East Cork. Sheep= hedgerows; tillage, cattle=no hedgerows, or scalped so much they'll be dead in a few more years.

'The Morning Ride, Copenhagen.'
Bicycles were the perfect vehicle for a new generation of painters looking for subjects that would express their experience of the modern age. This work (1907) by Erik Ludvig Hennimoder depicts the new leisured classes.

(Lowland, not upland area).

Certainly, but sadly around where i live the decline in mixed farming that includes sheep has meant the wholesale destruction of the blackthorn hedgerows needed to keep sheep in and the decline of species like yellowhammer. Farms with no sheep have gotten rid of hedges.

Favourite #WorldBookDay moment ...
Asked a hall full of children if any of them knew what a Dalek was ... girl RAN up to the stage and announced ... it's a small onion but strong. Cut it and you'll cry.

Me: .... thinking ...
Me: .. still thinking ...
Finally ...
... Garlic.

They can go right back if they're not happy.

Aldi is poor for veg alright.

Is the 'fresh produce' section of an Irish Tesco in March the dismalest place in the world? All the disgusting tasteless muck grown in someone else's water just rotting. Bringing baby carrots from South Africa and calling them 'fresh' should be a jailing offence.
