Imagine leaving your home, your country, often having never seen a building taller than a few stories, now going to America - to New York, Chicago or Boston, only for want of a job, any job, and some food. Just wanting a chance to make your own way. Many, many of my friends have lived […]

When God Made Ireland
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven God went missing for seven days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him. He enquired of God “Where were you?”
God breathed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds. Look son, look what I’m after making.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said […]
Subject: FW: Red Friday
I, for one, plan on following the plan set down in this message….
Red Friday
Just keeping you “in the loop” so you’ll know what’s going on in case this takes off.
RED FRIDAYS —– Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops […]

FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and […]

4.. Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.
5.. I used to have a handle […]
What a NIGHT!
So tonight was my first book signing (y’know I can’t type signing without misspelling it as singing, is that Freudian?). No idea what to expect. It went really well. Sold quite a few books and had a ball talking to people.
A “funny” thing happened though. When I first got there, I pulled up […]
Hand Me Down Me Bible
This song was written by legendary pianist, composer, producer, singer . and so much more, Phil Coulter. I first heard it sung by a man who is often called the best ballad singer to ever walk the earth, Luke Kelly. Luke did a very funny intro, saying the first part of […]
