Ken quite seriously (and I thought about this only the other day) I am very interested in the history of the kilmichael ambush, and the exploits of general Ton Barry. I thought only the other day that I would ask you if you have any knowledge of it I think it happened in 1921 ,but I'm not sure the lads set out from the town of macroom on 21st now I. What was called crossly tenders. I don't know very much about it, but if you do know I'd love if you posted on here

My Irish history would not be the best DM outside of the basics, but your request enthralls me and I have started a topic in my own members section "Kens Tales" about an old RA member whom was a old customer that I got very friendly with, Gerry Madden was his name (RIP) and I will continue the true tale over the next few days.

If you believe in the stories of the virus  and how deadly/virulent  it is , then staying home is a no brainer. 
If you dont believe in this stuff  but you don't want to take the chance with your  safety or your neighbours' safety  then  staying home is a no brainer.
If you don't think you could make 350 with a reasonable weeks work in todays climate  then staying home is a no brainer.    however you are within your rights to go out and work if you feel you need to for your own personal  peace of mind  or because you want to do your bit  or whatever..... I'd advise against  working and going on the Govt teat at the same time though .
Seriously though.... this may be the perfect  time to give up smoking . I eventually did it when I was about 30  and I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did without question .
also  you could take up a new hobby  I recently took up  building ships in bottles and snake charming .

No, trying to do a 15 /  20 k cycle ain't easy when trying to keep within 2k distance (as the crow flys) from the house

Anto how is your hole .Im back on the bike in the shed I have it on a Turbo trainer .not doing much but when you havent sat on a bike for about 20 years you have no saddle muscles and it hurts your arse from your weight .Memories of the Co operation North cycle in the 80s from Dublin to Belfast are a memory never be able to do that again .

Yer arse muscles will get stronger again john, it is sore the first time you try it ( fuck off halpo we are talking about cycling) but it gets easier, i still get a little tender when i do anything over 80k  but thats a lot to do with the roads down here, at least in Dublin yis have smooth roads and dedicated cycle lanes, down here we have grass growing in the middle of the road.

[john m]

80k you must be taking it serious

[Tony]

80k you must be taking it serious

I do it for leisure john, im not one of these cycling nazis that fly along in top gear trying to beat the clock, i couldn’t give a fuck if a four hour cycle took me eight hours to do, i enjoy it and youd be amazed of the things and beauty youd see that you never knew existed.
If i was you id go onto one of them cycling tracks at the canal and practise if you dont like the roads.
The greenaways are great, i was hoping to do the Waterford one this year but the pox has put it on hold
