[probably why i`v never had a headache in my life, true]. except a hangover head.
      Jaze de ye remember that....there was another place on Cork St / James' Street and they did the same....we ate heaps of the throat pastille things....who knows what it was in them....

                I was just talkin to an old mate yesterday about old times in the dub, I mentioned to him about the days we used to spend in the feeno and come home through chapelizod, we`d go into the church along the liffey, there was/is a beaut display of leadlight windows , very overpowering and 'holy' with the quietness and the smell of the wood and the candles burning...the candles that's the point here...we used to eat the candles we were so hungry, and make another stop for 'desert' at ballyfermot church on the way home [wondered why we always were glowing].....me mate sed ,jaze, that's a new one for him, he`s posh from arbour hill!!
                in god i trust...everyone else cash only.

                      m.k.m, I believe the word posh , d.t will know this, comes from the old days of the raj ,when wealthy travellers and high ranking officers were going to india , they would book their tickets on the ships, port out starboard home i.e posh, that was to get the benefit of the weather both ways, don`t know if its entirely true.....did willie live in the barracks.

                            • Read "The Wonder" by Emma Donoghue over last weekend....was looking forward to it as it was her first book since the amazing "Room" which I loved......shouldn't have bothered reading it found it tedious , nothing much happened in this simple story about a child starving herself .....it's set in Ireland in a village outside Athlone in 1859...everyone in the village and surrounding area is a religious nut obsessed with nothing else only the church and bible...and trying to make a martyr or a saint out of a young girl that hasn't ate anything for 5 months........guessed the reason why she wasn't eating about a third of the way through the book ...I shouldn't have reading it
                              The mind is everything. What you think you become.

                                good reviews on "goodreads" (my book bible!) so if i hadn't read your post i may have been tempted to get it. Looked up "Room" as well and the subject matter looks far too harrowing, especially as it was inspired by true stories such as that of elizabeth fritzl.......
