The characters of Cork

[fed up]

Era life’s too short to be serious all the time
I got my letter to claim my pension last week so intend to grow old disgracefully,
Told my young fella “ you’ll know when I’ve finally lost it when I’m spotted on Carrigaline main st directing traffic in me drawers”

Great attitude to have

Great attitude to have

Has to be done
Lost a lot of family and close friends over the years,
I’ve 2 v close mates terminal ATM
And my ex missus
They’re all vv positive
So when u see ppl like them you have to shine a light on things ,
I’ve a secret ingredient aswell- I’ve ultra ultra faith in my God,
No to everyone’s taste,
But good enough for me ,
And I won’t ram my beliefs down anyone’s necks

My late friend
Peadair Beecher regularly held a one man picket outside St Finbarrs hospital

Barred for life from entering the N of Ireland
Small barrel of an angry man
When v young members of provisional SF wayyyyy back wed his heart broken,
He’d have a meltdown at times and threaten kneecappings etc

One time when we took over city hall during the Lord Mayors question time or such
As the law were bating him out of the chambers he shouted to Goldberg- “ pity Adolf didn’t get another few of ye”


There was fuckin uproar
Me and 2 other young fellas legged it pronto

Peadar was from ballyphehane, was pipped to a council seat by Kathleen lynch
