        On a 12 string guitar too. Nice.

        If live music and bands being able to tour are a long-term covid casualty I'd seriously consider moving out of Dublin I think. Wouldn't grumble. 20-odd years was a good run.

        Could grow into being PSV's worst nightmare.

I see Sky News is noting the participation by the Indians on the Brit side as if it was some noble gesture by the Indians rather than the cost of their slavery to the nobel British effort to rid the world of *ahem* bad countries.
                  You can't just erase history (no matter if good or bad).

                  The old line about those who fail to learn the lessons of history still applies today.

                    It's not really as simple as that. Part of the modern English problem is they can't get past the one bit of history they remember, i.e. Chamberlain and the second world war. That didn't work out to well for them regarding the last Iraq disaster.

                        Eldest son was one of the unusually well behaved crowds up in the mountains cheering on the cyclists in the Tour of Lombardy, considering what they were going through in that area just a few months ago it is quite a hopeful day there.

                            I would have thought Brexit was a far more appropriate example of the misapplication of historical memory regarding WW2.

                            You'll have to explain the Iraq\WW2 parallel to me.

                                We've had the longest sustained period of peace in Europe ever. We might have learned a few things eventually.

                                              Champions League is just one of those sporting tournaments that consistently delivers great entertainment. Similar to the Heineken Cup in rugby.

                                              Pretty much the only soccer I watch all year and it's always really good in the knockout stages.

                                                    Nah. It's what is always said. But it's just plain wrong. The surest way of a politician in trouble to be re-elected is to start a war. Warmonging politicians in the image of Churchill are viewed as something admirable in the US and UK (Thatcher, Johnson when given a chance). And tough-guy politics is big everywhere. Hollywood can't stop making war movies that have tragedy but also glory at the heart of the story. So when exactly is the lesson going to be learned? Because it has been 75 years.
                                                    Hollywood <> real life. Feels like this calls for the Father Ted 'Dreams...reality' meme.

                                                    As said, we have had the longest sustained period of peace ever. Lessons have been learned. Look at the multilateral institutions put in place to prevent war after WW2. Successful ones.

                                                          I suppose that is most egregiously evident in Russia.

Thank you so much for giving me the nudge, was himming and hawing all week about buying a ticket, thought it would be a kinda flat experience, didn't think it would feel live. I was very wrong. It was incredible. So immersive. The segues were fantastic.

                                                            That Belfast hip hop act towards the end were electric.

                                                                    Kneecap (the Belfast lads) are a great band - can't wait to see them live too. Someday hopefully.

                                                                    I'll be watching again tomorrow with MrsHifi who is away tonight.

                                                                    I know the drummer fairly well (he's also the drummer in The Jimmy Cake) and his younger brother is the fiddle player. Very musical family and good people so I'm stoked for them.

                                                                    Best e12 I've spent all year.

                                                                                              I genuinely believe The Young People is one of the greatest songs of the 21st century.

                                                                                              Simultaneously crushing and uplifting. Pure genius.

                                                                                                  Yeah they're great. They often reference the 'Black and Amber' in their songs. It was a pub in Islandbridge with flats (the Long Balconies) just opposite. I'm sure you know it Solks - maybe even had a pint there at some point?

                                                                                                  It's a pub/buliding that has always intrigued me. It was massively long which you couldn't tell from the front and I wonder what they did in that space, the times that they had and how important it was to in the community.

                                                                                                  Sadly I was never in it before it closed, oh.. I dunno maybe a decade or 15 years ago or maybe even more.

                                                                                                  It was demolished a few years ago and apartments built. Another cultural casualty.

                                                                                                  Just memories and ghosts replaced.

Was in a fair few over the years en route to Richmond Park. Cant even recall , from the Black horse to Dillons then the other direction the horse and jockey . So could have. They are all just a haze .

                                                                                                      The pub was opposite the entrance to the War Memorial Gardens, just before you head over the bridge and hit the Islandbridge junction at the Phoenix Park wall. There 's some funky cafe there around there now. The Storyboard I think.

                                                                                                      Not sure the track is specifically about St. Michaels but the songwriter would obviously have an intimate knowledge of the inchicore/kilmainham/islandbrige area i'd imagine.

                                                                                                            Normally I'd just dive into some other music now but I'm so pre-occupied with this I can't even think of listening to another band at the minute.

                                                                                                            I genuinely believe The Young People is one of the greatest songs of the 21st century.

                                                                                                            How many tunes about suicide, a blight that affects all of us but a topic that is generally avoided in polite company, can tug on the heart strings with a melody and sensitivity that reflects the complexity of the subject matter.

                                                                                                            Simultaneously crushing and uplifting. Pure genius.

                                                                                                                        Conservatives at the time made the argument that leaving Hussein in power was like appeasing Hitler. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...373-story.html

                                                                                                                        And where is Saddam's imperial plan? He has been in charge of Iraq for some 30 years, and so far he's initiated hostilities with only two countries, Iran and Kuwait. Hitler dreamed of ruling the world. Hussein's grand vision was to control the whole of the Shatt al Arab waterway and some oil fields to his south.
                                                                                                                        Ah only an 8 year war with a million dead, Hitler was a way worse. What a strange author.

                                                                                                                        Is Kosovo not the better parallel for Iraq? It was the success there that emboldened Blair to attempt to do the same in Iraq.
