Spread from Longford Leader : Longfordโ€™s All-Time Greats 16 figures including Padraic Colum, Albert Reynoldsโ€ฆ

Spread from Longford Leader : Longfordโ€™s All-Time Greats 16 figures including Padraic Colum, Albert Reynoldsโ€ฆ

Will Ferrell on the shortlist:

Will Ferrell might not be the first person to come to mind when thinking about Longford Greats. But he's certainly fiercely proud of his heritage and went so far as to wear the Longford GAA jersey to a Late Late Show interview in November 2017 ahead of the release of his latest movie at the time, 'Daddy's Home 2'.
His gesture sparked a positive response from people in Longford, elevating him to the Longford Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Mel Gibson when it comes to the entertainment scene.
Ferrell discovered a number of years ago that former generations of his family changed their name from Farrell when they emigrated to America, but the actor insists he's a Longford man and is not too shy to boast about his roots.

Was tidying and found an old Leader with the shortlist for โ€œLongfordโ€™s All-Time Greatsโ€ and this is why weโ€™ll never be treated as a serious county

Google Scholar Alerts informs me that I have been cited in a Masters thesis submitted to the Fluminense Federal University in Niterรณi, Brazil, on the prelude to the 1969-70 IRA split. I am suitably flattered and only regretful that I don't speak Portuguese app.uff.br/riuff/bitstr...

'Possession is not available at this time. Instead, check out Lars von Trier's Antichrist, which is currently showing on MUBI' is not the answer I was looking for.

'Rebecca: now a Netflix movie starring Lily James and Armie Hammer' is not the cinematic reference I would use to advertise Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel.

Sir, โ€“ We need less Irish rugby fans singing along to 'Zombie', and more Glasgow Celtic supporters singing along to 'Zombie Nation'.

Visited Vinegar Hill and read Heaney's Requiem for the Croppies while climbing it. Also stopped in at the 1798 National Centre and Enniscorthy Castle.

No one in the admittedly brief history of Bluesky has deemed by hometown fit to even mention in passing. My provincial pride is affronted.
