@ Dollier after the week you had and Brett certain to be elected on to the Supreme court I thought I would give you some trouser scaffolding to keep you happy .The Italians have decided to play nice and limit their budget spending to 2.4% of GDP well under the 3% maximum but the international markets have shit in their mouths and increase the interest rates on Italian Government bonds .Italy might ask itself Why the Fuck bother and start thinking Italexit .Merkel has woken up told Britain no deal .Boris is barking like a Rabid Dog but interestingly the Conservatives are ahead in the Polls so dont be surprised to see a heave against Tessie and a snap general election in the UK handing the Shinners and the DUP their arses in a Tesco Bag as the Conservatives get enough seats to not give a fuck about the North .The weather is getting cold so the immigrants wont set to sea .If the Macidoniand dont agree to change their name to North Macadonia there could be naughties between Greece and Macadonia.The Gay foreigner is also planning a smash and grab as soon as the Budget is passed (a friend of mine was asked to build a website for a candidater ready to go at a minutes notice )So something is stirring .Sweden has no government .If Christy Moore could only have a Christmas Number one then everything would be grand in Drumcondra .

John I'll be nice in my reply.I HAVEN'T GOT A FUKKING CLUE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT

You're not alone Dalyer.....John reminds me of the priest in Fr Ted....and his favourite humming sound!!

dollyer the eu is in turmoil you might get your wish especially if the Italians get the hump .Bobo is threatening to oust Tessy and tell the DUP they can decide on what happens in Ireland and if that dosent suit them they can fuck off .Greece are looking for trouble with their neighbours .Sweden have no government because the anti immigration party wont play ball .Leo wants to go for a sneaky election in November before he gets fucked by Brexit backstop promises .all in all Dollyer its looking good for your dream of the EU falling apart .

Delighted.I might know what it is to be Irish once again

Dollyer there is a drama in Europe every week sooner or later one of them is going to explode .

The beacon in Baltimore would have been my first choice but El Tonio beat me to it.
On reflection Blackrock castle at the mouth of Cork city harbour might pose you a greater challenge.

I don't mind paying ya Fifty notes fer your work Octy, I recently had me gaff painted and throughly cleaned and I had a ruthless clear-out, so a nice bit of art would look well in it, and it might give ya some bragging rights in the pub that you actually sold a picture !
An easier option if'n Blackrock castle is too much of a challenge fer you might be the Canon also at the mouth of Cork harbour.

Each to their own Octy, personally I prefer a birra scribbling and when I am 'In the zone' I really enjoy writing a story, the story consumes me totally to the extent that I have almost no other thoughts other than the story.
To be fair Gerry, Tony, FDS, Bubba, Etc did give me plenty of ammunition fer me tales and Roy and Rats gave me a platform to share my XXXX rated tales on. I'm still waiting fer a call from Netflix !!
I'm looking forward to seeing my 'Canon' painting and I will pay you fer it.

You should try it full-time Octavian....you appear to have a penchant for it...some people can take a compliment...others look for criticisms that aren't there. If I could turn my hand to it as fast you appear to have done, I'd be churning them out on the Green for a ton plus. The secret is keeping it raw....the educational authorities might knock the corners off you, but you'll lose your Mugambo, as Johnny Weismuller said.

and if you could title it "The Field of Dreams" that would be fantastic,
I'll tell ya the full story about that field sometime by PM.

There was no criticism there. Some people seek it anyway......people attending art colleges end up being remoulded and re-framed to suit their teacher's approach. If I could do it....I would.

I started July lippy wit the kids...
Love it now.... Just we all need sometin keep us going...
I know Wat yu mean bout Mugambo... In my artistic naivety and new at it enthusiasm I may be gettin results that are
Not bad.... Hope ikeep it up
I have 2 mates at it since they are kids....
One is probably Irelands greatest impressionist painter....he's streets ahead of OConnor and highly sought after.... So I'm getting good advice....
My other friend is a brilliant photo realist sort but excellent but he is struggling to make money....
I've no ambition or delusions... Just want to make it fun... I believe any one can do it but few try...
Keeps me off the sauce and costs nuttin...
Thanks for all the compliments.... Much appreciated....
....Tony if ya do like it I'm in town every weekend an I can meet ya at the green... If yu work town.... I'll get a Woodies frame... I think about a tenner... Gimme a pm....
If yu around I'll trow it in the boot....

Glad you took it as a compliment. Some people think badly of themselves and see everything people say as back-handed...When I was a young man there was a girl doing Judo who was the most naturally talented and gifted person our instructor had ever seen........he told her so after she threw a man 3 times her weight............she never stuck at it.........she couldn't accept it for what it was because of low self-esteem.
The instructor didn't know what he had done wrong because he couldn't see past his own insecurities either. That girl might've gone on to represent Ireland internationally, she hasn't, as I keep an eye on the sport. I had a girlfriend who thought the same way...........I moved on as soon as I copped it....you cannot win with them.

I've a lot of chords learnt but I lack the skills Tony. I still mess around with the guitar but purely for my own amusement. I would think twice about inflicting it on anyone else, it's a good hobby all the same.
