Should I go see this guy do a reading and get his books?

I think he's brilliant. Start with his first short story collection, There Are Little Kingdoms, and go from there.

this is a good taster

marrying a non-Catholic in a church? can you do that?

Oh yes, especially if it's not a catholic church.

x-post-- Thanks

Oh yes, especially if it's not a catholic church.

No, I looked into it in the meantime. Would be a pain in the hole & I don't like that you basically have to promise to raise your children Catholic.

One of my best man gigs was at a mixer, they went with the proddy church cos less hassles.

Cmere if michael d declares bankruptcy in the commons we'd be all clear in 12 months y/n

Yeah but other half isn't even a Proddy like, I think you at least have to be baptised to marry in their church?

you basically have to promise to raise your children Catholic

Hey, you wanna get married or dontcha?

wasnt a huge fan of it or anything but the dealer priest performance/sketch has haunted me ever since

wtfffffffffffffffffff

wow.

This has been one of the great Irish union performances. That chorus of The Fields of Athenry was spell-binding. Missed the fucking kick though!

the atmosphere now!

Sexton never fancied that kick for whatever reason

Fuck I can barely stay in my seat

as much as I never want the all blacks to lose I'd love Ireland to win, especially while o'driscoll's still on the team.

ah jesus

Ohhhh fuck THAT! This is unthinkably cruel

fuck fuck fuck

The twenty thosand native southside dub irish and anyone from limerick who went to a private school, away ta fuck

farcical

Ah this is some bullshit, what a way to lose

oh I am sincerely disappointed.

Lol ruling class

Sexton must be feeling like a reet chump.

Dunno what you've got against this sport Deems, Ireland quite good and likeable and enjoyable to watch.

i am very far from either

I watched the last ten minutes after seeing a good part of my twitter timeline going nuts, and it was ten of the most tense minutes of sport I've seen in quite some time. Fuck knows how much anyone who actually supports Ireland must have been feeling, I was shitting it on their behalf all the way up to the All Blacks' try and have no loyalties whatsover.

Some ulster man you imo

Celtic tiger overrun, this tolerance of popularity amongst the oiks

deems how would avb have turned out if he had been born in the equivalent class in ireland rather than portugal

for this thought experiment he will also have had an english grandparent as he does irl

the important thing is never to talk about rugby with anyone in public

Bankrupt but getting away with it. Heda been cheering thu goys on today for sure.

Worst sickener ever IMO. Awful. We just can't let this be another one in five passion performance, have to play at that level in every game.

That final pen we conceded was criminal, seconds from victory. Awful.

This is bollocks obviously, about Limerick in particular. And rugby is increasingly popular on the north side, not just the posh bits either. You only have to see how tabloid coverage of it has ramped up in recent years.

Shouldn't even dignify this comatose grab for attention with a response but just this once.

Took you long enough mind

Dundrum shopping centre was erupting that last five mins tbf

darragh mac is declan lynch and i claim my five euro. i know (we all do) the certain rugger bugger loafer wearing type darragh is referring to and i esp. hate the way said they rag on soccer ("rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen, soccer is a gentlemans game played by SHUT THE FUCK UP). but yeah the whole of limerick city is rugby mad not just the toffs. i couldnt give a shit about munster though (exacerbated by the fact of working in rugby-mad pub here in limerick) but ive always been psyched for the ireland rugby team since i was a kid. today was heartbreaking tbh, watched the last 30 mins in a shopping centre too.
