When you don’t believe in god it puts so much pressure on yourself to work it all out to know to understand, when you can put your trust in god it releases all that, it not always possible but keep trying it’s worth it
The golden days of Hollywood are gone forever. John Ford and Maureen o Hara if they were alive today, would not want to have anything to do with Hollywood today.
Man, apparently, her parents were ABSOLUTE SH1111T. Hey, my parents, especially, my mom were INSANE. I still suffer to this day. Your life is literally surviving trauma. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I remember my granny praising this to no end. It had finished by the time I was born, but every now and then my granny would bring up Quicksilver and Bunny Carr, who she absolutely loved. ''A real gentleman'' to quote her.
I emigrated from Leitrim in 1966, and I am still a proud Leitrim man. I remember Joseph Mary Mooney very well, He was a very decent man, who thoroughly deserved the title 'Mr Drumshanbo'.
I love ruby. I can listen to her all day. She not only talented and funny, and attractive. She is very intelligent. When I listen to her talk about mental illness. I feel not so alone. She is comforting to me. That may sound silly to some.
Have you seen her atrocious interrogation of Sinead O"Connor for Black Dog? Sinead"s first sentence about the misuse of the word "crazy" which Ruby then does repeatedly...At the end she stands over Sinead and grabs her head like that pratt Spanish Socceer coach scruffing her head and saying " getting a buzz cut when you're 15 (sic) IS nuts" WTF & whilst sporting that on her head Trump x Joan Collins in cleaning-lady-red.....see Virtue signalling npd
Pissing rain outside, smell of cabbage and stale fags in the house, no video, read the encyclopedia already ten thousand times .. and this is on the telly. What a shite childhood!
Gay Byrne was the best interviewer of Women Ive ever seen.( Except for his awful mistakes with Annie Murphy, Bishop Caseys girlfriend/mother of the Bishops son on The Late Late Show) but 1 snafu in 37 years is not bad. Here Gay had to ask 3 standard God related questions in a relatively free ranging encounter to act as a comparator between interviewees in this series called The meaning of Life"
I love Ruby Wax- she's a brilliant interviewer and also great at comedy. WOW- I just did not realise her harsh upbringing. What an interesting woman. OMG Her childhood is so sad, I don't know how she got through it, this is one of the most tragic stories I have ever listened to, it's really touched a nerve.
She did a documentary years ago about her parents and showed us their apartment and everything was covered in plastic so that it wouldn't get dirty 😂😂😂
A gold-plated saucepan to cook your slop in. Burn the shit out of it over a flame. Alternatively, keep the saucepan as a dowry. Bunny Carr sounds like a pornstar name
The theme music and the stunning scenery made the Quiet Man film so memorable The story was pretty much stage Irish of its time. One can't unsee Wayne dragging Maureen O Hara by the hair, or her offering him a rod to beat her. M O H was an undoubted beauty, but she had to play the part of a skittish slightly wild Irish lassie " peeping out from behind The Gate" scene at Wayne which was not very edifying The pub brawl was not Irish cultural norm ,,, hopefully nor the brawl by the river Cripes hopefully not... Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, beautiful girl, John Wayne was a typecast cowboy, but his presence in Ireland caused a sensation in the 50s Stage Irish ,, but enjoyable
1:40 *Special prize: Bord Failte £300 travel voucher* *Screen shows a £50 voucher* Me: A bit incoherent, no? 11:50 “Where you will found a Polar bear - would it be at the North Pole or at the South Pole?” *Norman plays “The Sash my Father wore” - Orange Lodges would sue* “South Pole.” “…pardon?” “South Pole.” “I BEG YOUR PARDON?” “North Pole.” “YES, YOU’RE RIGHT!”
Wasn't it sometime in1979 that they caught the Yorkshire Ripper? Looks like his job as a Lorry Driver must have brought Peter Sutcliffe to Co. Leitrim round about the time this was recorded (albeit under an assumed identity _obviously..!)_
