    Although if he does have permission, that might explain the posting about it on a public forum. Hmmm.

      Hitch has inspired me to reward myself for my industry by popping into town for some Sichuan food. Craving spice.

                Was out recently with a friend who lives in China.

                I don't think any of the Chinese are really Sichuan, it's just it's the only really recognised brand. The Chinese menu is just the real brand/style of the restaurant.

                    Visited the Pearse Museum today in St. Enda's Park in Rathfarnham. I'm 20+ years in Dublin and never knew it existed until recently and it's quite the little treasure.

                    It's an epic 1798 built house which housed Pearse's Scoil Eanna, an experimental Irish school. It also was home to Neville Chamberlain when he was head of the RIC.

                    Highly recommended.

                    Interestingly, for me anyway, the key story I took away from it was how close the Pearse family was. Of a mother's love for her son (and vice versa). Also how gentle a man he seemed. His belief in education and how he treated his pupils at the time was, in its own way, revolutionary.

                    Pearse's last letter to his mother was heartbreaking, writ large on a wall.

                    She didn't get to Kilmainham to see him before he died cos of the violence on the streets but did get up to see her other son Willie the next day before he was shot.

                    Anyway, It feels great that I'm still discovering cool stuff about this city.

                      Oh he was a great fan of the little boys alright. Ever read this poem by him?

                      Little lad of the tricks,
                      Full well I know
                      That you have been in mischief:
                      Confess your fault truly.

                      I forgive you, child
                      Of the soft red mouth:
                      I will not condemn anyone
                      For a sin not understood.

                      Raise your comely head
                      Till I kiss your mouth:
                      If either of us is the better of that
                      I am the better of it.

                      There is a fragrance in your kiss
                      That I have not found yet
                      In the kisses of women
                      Or in the honey of their bodies.

                      Lad of the grey eyes,
                      That flush in thy cheek
                      Would be white with dread of me
                      Could you read my secrets.

                      He who has my secrets
                      Is not fit to touch you:
                      Is not that a pitiful thing,
                      Little lad of the tricks ?

                        Self aggrandizing sentimental claptrap IMO.


                        Often thought it would have been a fairer outcome if he had been executed for his dire poetry rather than as a result of his self obsessed decision to destroy the nascent Ireland with his traitorous decision to turn 1916 into a suicide mission.
                        And as for his other obsessions, they could probably do with a look through a revisionist lens taking into account the proclivities of so many of his followers.

                          Can't trust those academics

                          There was no defending that appalling "autoethnography" paper on masturbation. But a lot of academics defended it anyway

                              Interesting Kerfuffle in Edinburgh where Jerry Sadowitz a comedian notorious for his ability to shock said something so shocking that he got cancelled

                              Loads of crap said but this thread was the most interesting.
                              I'm nor sure what he actually said but it was reportedly very offensive to male identifying trans people.

                                  Make a video of you putting this theory to the test. Ideally with that scary FiL present.

                                    No actually, but keep us posted on that quest. There's a place on capel st, kopitiam or something, that might be a good place to start but I haven't tried it

                                      The (step-)brother in law is staying with us until January due to the rental crisis. Ugh. Last saw him when he was a kid. In the meantime he has tried to quit school at 16 to become a cop 'because he could make a fortune in bribes', and been kicked out of uni at 20. Fingers crossed. Although his brother is a bona-fide genius who has done mad things at the age of 18. Like won national chess and mathlete competitions. Maybe the genes are there.

                                        I don't think we'll ever be done trying to understand him or his legacy. As a father I can say i'm a great fan of little boys, cos I have one. Does that make "a fan of little boys" an abuser? Nope.

                                        Is it realistic to believe a scenario where an active paedophile would publish a poem about being so at that time in Ireland? I don't think so. But maybe I'm wrong. There's lots of debate about it and will be forevermore. I guess people can make up their own mind on how literal to read it.

                                        Ruth Dudley Edwards, who knows more than most about Pearse, says "He was a wonderful teacher, not least because - like so many other great pedagogues - he was in love with his boys. Emotionally and sexually stunted, he wanted to be a boy."

                                        A closet homosexual? Probably. Non-sexually active? Most likely. A bad poet? Sure. Even a bad revolutionary? Possibly. The country will forever be split down the middle on that one I suppose.

                                        But, as Edwards says, a great teacher.

                                        And if he were an emotionally/sexually stunted, as is her belief, and alive today how would we treat those issues? How would society support him? Or would we support him?

                                        Genuine question. What advice would you give him if he were to come to you, for example? (Apart from "don't do the Easter Rising thing Padraig!")

                                                      Well I'd report him to the authorities of course but I don't think that would have done much good in the early part of last century.

Online application, one page to be filled out in a garda station, copies of passports instead of originals, it's improved anyhow. Seemingly a 5 week turnaround, we'll see. We have no impending trip coming up, but just good to have it. The hardest part was getting the photo right, so what we did was take a video in a suitable location and hope that we got a suitable frame that we could use, and thankfully it worked. Otherwise getting an autistic nearly 3 year old boy to stand still and look at the camera with your mouth closed if possible wouldn't be the easiest thing to achieve, and we did try it first taking photos, with zero success.

He's not looking directly at the camera in the frame that was accepted so hopefully it'll be OK. If we need to get a doctor's letter to say why we can't get him to stay still, we will, but I'd like to not need to do that.

But if he's throwing it up in here it's obviously because he is inviting commentary. Noted wallflower Hitch is hardly using this place as a confessional.

Doing a show he opened by saying that people shouldn't be afraid to laugh and that what they were laughing at was him in character. So the laughter was at the presumed character and created distance. He said to make it even easier that he had a table at the back of the stage with hats on and as he was going in and out of character he would put a hat on his head each time to denote that he was now in character. That seemed to relax everyone. With that he turned his back to the crowd and ruffled through the hats before placing one on his head and turning around. It was a SS Officers hat and he began with the words "so what are we going to do about those jews".
                                                                                                              Funny, but going by the name, its really only a joke a Jew could tell without getting into hot water ?

                                                                                                                    In 1970, 19 percent of French people of both sexes admitted to having affairs, going up to 30 percent in 2001 and 43 percent in 2014. Have one out of three of us had and affair?

                                                                                                                    Again, for both sexes, 46 percent said they had intimately kissed someone other than their partner.

France has the highest tolerance rates for affairs in Europe. Spain, Italy, etc have much lower tolerance rates. Don't think it is a cultural thing more of a religious thing tbh.
