So your Mother knew how to marry well DM. Good for her.

Sweet Mick Mack,


Brenda was one of the first trolley doll... er... Air hostess type ladies for the Irish National airline. She could distribute G&T without losing a splosh in extreme turbulence. We are so similar in many ways... (bats eyelashes). Please forgive my spelling, I am typing this in my Blackberry, under the table at Chez Bruce.

DM, my late sister was also a trolley doll too and she lived in Drumcondra once upon a time (before moving to Castleknock, I'll have you know). Perhaps we have more in common than I initially thought. I presume given your South American/ Italian accent that you are multilingual and well travelled? Can we meet? How about the Irish Shop as a safe venue? We could share a bag of Tayto's and some red lemonade!

That would around the time I went up north to visit my girlfriend in Keady, Co.Armagh. My friend drove me and after meeting up in the local bar we were visited by about half the British Army who marched into the pub to find out who owned the car with the Southern reg. number. A bit scary given all the guns they had and upsetting given they were the 'visitors'!

Goodness, that was me being lighthearted, I should have added the irony smiley!

And I thought the most shocking revelation on this thread was DM's Irish roots,


I'd like to say that this revelation will not change my view of you BBW, and to date I have always been able to take your bogtrotter comments lightly. I have to say that now its a bit more tricky as it appears there is a bit of "history" to your views.

Mick Mac I'm being genuinely sincere when I say I understand your reasons for bringing this up. My dad was only there for a year and when I said he had an uneventful tour, I was trying to defuse the instability of this thread that had turned volatile at my hand. I have no idea of what went on while he was there, he's never spoken about it.


I have no malice against the Irish, north or south. I was messing about as usual but my foolish mishandling of a subject that cuts deep on both sides is and was irredeemably stupid.


I'll probably prod the Irish again but please be assured that there is no sense of 'unfinished business' regarding my dads presence in N.Ireland under arms.


I hope that clears any doubt up.

      I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly

      Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found.

      Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.
