Frankie, just Corona beers for me. Every holidays out of London is a battle between me and my missus regarding drink. I like to think I’ve earned gettting smashed ten days straight cause I work so long otherwise, but she wants to actually do stuff cause I normally work so long otherwise!
Tell your good woman that having a beer at weekends for breakfast is a human right, then tell her if she wants to do stuff, let her do her stuff and you kick back with another beer.
Human right! I need to claim asylum with you , i will be like those 36-yr old “child refugees” that keep camping in Calais. All that dialog is much too reasonable, after 15 years together we just sequentially guilt trip to “win” the argument.
Former IRA volunteer and ex-prisoner, spent 18 years in Long Kesh, 4 years on the blanket and no-wash/no work protests which led to the hunger strikes of the 80s. Completed PhD at Queens upon release from prison. Left the Republican Movement at the endorsement of the Good Friday Agreement, and went on to become a journalist. Co-founder of The Blanket, an online magazine that critically analyzed the Irish peace process. Lead researcher for the Belfast Project, an oral history of the Troubles.
For some reason I’m wondering how Frankie is these holidays ....

Daithi,
ReplyDeleteNo compromises....Saturday is a mans day. Don't fall for the puppy dog eyes either (you will)…
To claim asylum all you need is a case of beer or a bottle of JD and no women during football or boxing.
