Hi Conrad... long time, no whatever....

Looks as if there'll be a lot more virtual parades from now on.
Gladdens the heart, doesn't it?

Now tell me that that aint a blow against absolutism.

It was Gold...., and it was beautiful
The consistence...., it was fine.
It was smoked at Gerry Loughran's, Dennis Quinlan's and Mick Coyne's.
My father bought it as a youth in the bygone days of yore.
And it's on the Twelfth I love to smoke the hash my father scored.

I believe that is what they call the ever-changing folk tradition.

My condolences, Con. The original had a good innings.
