Isaac ...

You were a good 'un.

I'll never forget having a garavy chip with you in The Peking after a hard night on the Baileys in The Ashburn!

You were always willing to abandon politics and religious bitterness in favour of a rake of drink and a bit of a take-away.

For that, I respect you.

Eamonn

You may have been a backslider and a fraterniser, but ... damnit ... you were one of our own!

I never liked the man.

I never said anything good about him when he was alive.

I'm buggered if I'm going to say anything good about him now he's dead!

Ah, the bewildered Yank without whom no Drumcree thread is complete.

The story begins more or less here, though there are antecedents which you might find by doing a word search for Drumcree.
This year's gripping instalment begins here.

But don't go into mourning just yet, yon Isaac is a bit of a Finnegan. We haven't seen the last of him yet. He's just using the Fenian ploy of the staged death and funeral to confound his enemies before he rises up and strikes again. His law has yet to chucky.

The Isaac McKittery Memorial Fund is instigating legal proceedings against Franklin Mint, the US-owned manufacturer and retailer of gewgaws, catchpennies and trumpery, after they have, it is alleged, been marketing an Isaac McKittery action figure without first having sought the Fund's permission. The Fund claims worldwide merchandising rights in respect of the dead Ulster folk-hero.

Dressed in black suit, with white gloves, bowler, brolly and sash, The McKittery "Deluxe Souvenir" utters a number of phrases - "Ulster Says No!", "No Surrender", "Gi's A Swig O' Thon Buckie Ye Tight Bastard" and "Anybody Want A Bang On This Joint Before I Put It Out?".

The US company was unavailable for comment.

However a spokesman for the Isaac McKittery Memorial Fund issued the following statement. "Them hoors' melts'll rue the day they messed wi' the boys of Killicomaine! If they don't back down they'll be the sorry men, 'n that's for sure! Ha' you got a wee feg on ye, by any chance, darlin'? I'm gaspin', I am."

"As flags of all colours were lowered and a lone piper sounded a lament, McKittery's body was lowered into the sea and floated off."

does Greenpeace know about this?

yer all away in the head!!

do ye think we all came up the Lagan in a bubble? ... I fer one won't believe it until his body washes up on a beach somewhere where I can see it....... and its whale watching season over here.... could be confusing for whoever finds him....

I reckin he's jist actin' the goat as usual... If I had a fiver for every time he's pulled this stunt I'd almost be able to come back over there and bate some sense into the waster!!

Daughter dear, houl' yer whisht for a minute and quit yer oul' philanderin'.

Nigh ...

We'll take it as the grief has you makin' wile accusations and so, on this here occasion, we'll say no more about it.

However, as legal custodians of the McKittery brand and legacy in all territories worldwide, we will not stand for aspersions bein' cast on the man in death - as indeed he would not have stood for such in life.
