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.Last edited by Denny Crane; 14-08-22, 21:02.

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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!")

Edit: Generally people have affairs in Russian marriages, so it's accepted even if not encouraged. Similar to continental weddings tbh. Where there's that broad acceptance of the need for something new every now and again.

Just put in the passport application for the youngest lad over the weekend, a pretty painless experience to be fair. 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.

I think ours was a little longer than 5 weeks only to learn that the photo wasn’t accepted.
We did everything as explained but they weren’t happy with the angle, it resulted in a slight shadow which you could barely see.
However when it was rejected, the follow up was expedited so it wasn’t an additional 5 week wait, it came back within a few days the second time around.

Is the professional thing not also a problem for you? Can't imagine it's cool in the whole Me Too era to be boning students, even if they moved on from your direct oversight.

TBH, it would seem to me far easier (and massively less risky on all fronts) for you to resolve your mid-life crisis by putting yourself in the hands of professionals. If I'm not being too subtle there."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

If, on the other hand, it's being done behind her back. Well then I am not sure it's sanctimonious.
Ultimately it's a matter for Hitch and the wife. 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.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakheard a good ditty on the radio earlier about Jay Sadowitz (sp). 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".This too shall pass.

Bit of a cultural thing with our attitude to affairs that we probably inherited from the British.
Ex French President Francois Hollande’s popularity went up, with men and women, when revelations surfaced he was having an affair with an actress 18 years his junior.
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.
