SCHOOL’S OUT
It’s a bank holiday, the sun is out and… I’m off to Cavan for the weekend. Well, that’s two reasons to be cheerful. Before I go I should mention:
1. My Morrissey symposium story appeared in the Ticket today. You can read it here.
2. The Lisa Hannigan story is in the Irish Times magazine tomorrow.
3. The backlash against the Steve Appleton backlash is underway here and here.
4. And finally, I just got served with a summons to appear in court on June 5th. WTF? I’m an innocent man… I’m going out the front door with Gerry etc. etc.
5. Have a great weekend!

Lovely piece on the Morrisey Symposium, poor Peter Finan, a true Morrisey construct.
Have a good one in Cavan.

@Eoin dunno many of the pubs there. My sister’s fiance – a bit of a square now – goes on about McMahons and the Black Horse.
Now, if you’re feeling thirsty on your way home through Kells, then I could help a brother out!

Did you really get a court summons? Is it jury duty maybe?

Nope, it’s really a court summons Clare. I’ll tell you what it’s about when I’m back from Portugal.

Eoin, can i just say the Morrissey article was a fookin’ hoot; i laughed so much that i might have wee’d a little bit. I’m thinking of turning up next year, m’self, with one of those t-shirts that says
