So there's free sarnies after all Larry, happy days! I hope to be there myself but I'm working in Gweedore tomorrow. Hopefully get away early but it's an hour and a half to get home then an hour to get to Derry - have to beat the spuds into me to stand any chance of being there for 7! Grr!
Get yer hoop intae gear man. Donegal? There's young lads coming from Belfast and S. Armagh. C'mon a that with ye!!
Was just wondering, if the SF 'adopted' middle class constituency starts to fall away out of boredom with the 'piss-process-industry' who will they send out to die for them this time??
Sean would it not be more sensible to go straight to Derry from Gweedore a cara it is fairly straight from there, will be in Derry ourselves and hopefully might get a look in,I,ve given up on the sarnies I,ve seen Larry in full eating mode..
Aye same as that, only in the door and getting the dinner - no chance of being anywhere near Derry before 8 o'clock at this stage! Look forward to hearing how it went

Mackers,
ReplyDeleteIt is very fitting that this carried out under his name. What a truly remarkable man he was.

ReplyDeleteget to the Diamond and ask. You'll be no more than 80 yds from it. Come early there's a university mob heading up for free sannies and buns.
Also, I was asked if questions like 'did the hungerstrikers get sacrificed for SF votes' will terminate the event...i replied hardly likely.
That happened a uni student here who drove from Derry to Belfast to interview a SF rep in Connolly House. Short and sweet.
Will the lecture be printed or filmed and put on the web. Wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteAndre,
ReplyDeleteit will appear on the blog here once Gerard has delivered it

ReplyDeleteyour mrs did it to me...i thought there was a mini bus load arriving at your house for breakfast....turned out that was MY plate only.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteCheers for that, much appreciated. Unfortunately, I have other commitments this evening and I cannot not make it, which is a great pity.
