BS: Question for the Brits

Subject: BS: Question for the Brits
From: GUEST,Journalist Student

I am interested in learning more about journalist and media personality DON HURLEY but cannot find much on the Internet.
What can you tell me? Appreciate the help as this is part of a research project.

Never heard of him.

Would it be the Don Hurley who is the world's only English speaking bullfighting commentator ?

(Not much call for such in Britain, in my experience.)

Now, on the other hand, if you asked about Liz Hurley...

A Don Hurley Question - www.ezboard.com

A place to start, maybe.

This isthe description from
The Tain

"Fair, of deeds, the man I see;
Wounded sore is his fair skin;
On his brow shines hero's light;
Victory's seat is in his face!

"Seven gems of champions brave
Deck the centre of his orbs;
Naked are the spears he bears,
And he hooks a red cloak round!

Noblest face is his, I see;
He respects all womankind.
Young the lad and fresh his hue,
With a dragon's form in fight!

I know not who is the Hound,
Culann's hight, of fairest fame;
But I know full well this host
Will be smitten red by him!

Four small swords--a brilliant feat--
He supports in either hand;
These he'll ply upon the host,
Each to do its special deed!

His Gae Bulga, too, he wields,
With his sword and javelin.
Lo, the man in red cloak girt
Sets his foot on every hill!

Two spears from the chariot's left
He casts forth in orgy wild.
And his form I saw till now
Well I know will change its guise!

On to battle now he comes;
If ye watch not, ye are doomed.
This is he seeks ye in fight
Brave Cuchulain, Sualtaim's son!

All your host he'll smite in twain,
Till he works your utter ruin.
All your heads ye'll leave with him.
Fedelm, prophet-maid, hides not!

"Gore shall flow from warriors' wounds;
Long 'twill live in memory.
Bodies hacked and wives in tears,
Through the Smith's Hound whom I see!"

As sensible a response as you're going to get I think!

Speaking as a 'Brit'{Scottish Branch} I've never heard of him either.

Yes, Noreen one and the same.
Also I believe he's with the Sunday Times.
And has interviewd many media notables on television.

I tried to post yesterday but was having problems getting through.
My comment was - Never heard of him! and...
How can somebody be a "Personality" when they appear to be insignificant nobodies?
Just wondering!
Quack!

Found this, but it seems not to be the one;

It pleases me to report that effective this date, 6-25-02, I Don P. Hurley,
have changed Party Affiliation by joining the Democrat Party.

My offical statement for the record is as follows:

 "Effective 6-25-02, I Don P. Hurley, have changed my Party Affiliation to
the Democrat Party. I could no longer be part of a party, namely the
Republican Party in Atlantic County, that is using many of its public offices
and positions to injure and retaliate against innocent citizens for their own
pleasure and personal gain.

In essence the Republican Party left me. The Republican Party and it's
titular head, have brought forward a mean spirit, a disservice to the public
and a culture that must be eradicated.

It pleases me to join a party that allows diversity as well as open, honest
debate on issues and public policy. I look forward to assisting the Atlantic
County Democrat Party in bringing progressive and responsible government to
Atlantic County and all of its citizens".

End of Statement by Don P, Hurley 6-25-02
