He was noted as a Seanachaí.

Click on the following to hear one of his stories:

Zsa Zsa Gabor has been given the last rites. She’s been ill since falling out of bed while attempting to answer her phone.

Her hips suffered and she suffered other medical complications as a result.

The upshot of it is that she requested a priest be brought to her hospital bedside to administer the last rites.

At 93 she’s led an eventful life – a life that filled with glamour, extravagance, self-importance and financial difficulties. A lady I find hard to comprehend.

Maureen O’Hara will be 90 tomorrow. I watched a Nationwide Special on her tonight where she was interviewed on her life over the past 90 years. The interview took place in Glengarriff, Co. Cork – a really nice place!

She has 43 films to her credit and has received numerous awards throughout the years.

Her flaming red hair earned her the title ‘Queen of Technicolor’. The Irish Film and Television Academy honoured her with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006

I hope that Zsa Zsa doesn’t suffer too much and that Maureen has many more years in front of her …. happy birthday Maureen.

I’ll call in for a cuppa the next time I’ll be passing through Glengarriff!

Niall Tóibín was awarded an honorary doctorate by U.C.C. last week.

Comhghairdeas a Dhochtúir!

Go maire tú slán ar feadh na blianta fada atá romhainn.

I couldn’t let the day go by without paying tribute to O’Brien of Wanderley Wagon fame.

Eugene Lambert died today at the age of 82.

He was an integral part of the Lambert Puppet Theatre and was a ‘star’ of the Irish children’s programme ‘Wanderley Wagon’ which aired during my childhood.

It was great clean fun …. Judge, Crow, Slippery Snake, Mrs. O’Brien, Forty Coats et al.

Rest in Peace O’Brien …. thanks for the memories of a great childhood.

Go on …. wander over to YouTube to watch it.

Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin et al.

What an amazing smile!

I’m a converted to Hugo Boss man!

Ramana …. she’s definitely a reason for not being singl!

Wow!

Happy birthday Roger! 66 today.

Don’t think I agree with Michael Jackson’s daughter having to speak at his memorial service.

The media are describing it as her 26-word speech (even though I counted 27 words?).
It went thus:

“Ever since I was born my daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine and I just want to say I love him so much.”

Thrusting a 12 year old into the spot light in her time of grief wasn’t the most sensible of actions.

I hope life works out for them.
